Were you popular in High School?

Question

WhiteSteve · Accepted Answer

Mostly yes. I went to a private high school to play ball, and there were a lot of white suburban kids there. Most of them were cool but a few of them didn’t know how to handle an urban white kid who listened to rap, etc. Eminem hadn’t come out yet, white kids didn’t quite have full clearance to be into hip-hop, lmao. I was an athlete, so I got some love for that, but there were just a few of the “cool kids” that wanted to talk shit, called me a wigger, all that dumb shit…. BUT…the black dudes (it was an all-boys school) took me in, lmao, and I would sit with them in the cafeteria, roll with them around school, all that…and that scared the fuck out of the idiot white kids, lmfao. Allllllll kinds of shit to talk when I was dolo, but never a word when I was with that group of friends. Weird, lmao.

But basically I just felt more comfortable with those guys. I was cool with like 95% of the suburbanite kids who were popular, and I’m sure I could’ve sat with them at lunch or whatever, but those handful of clowns would be there, and I’d just rather be amongst cool people, y’know?

Overall though, I’d definitely say I was pretty popular. I kind of punked one of the kids who would routinely try to fuck with me early on, I flipped him over a desk and had his shoulders on the floor and his feet in the air, and I could’ve pummeled him, and a lot of people saw it, so I got respect on a physical level. And I was pretty good at football and baseball, so obviously that goes a long way for getting respect as a kid, haha. I was cool to people who didn’t give me shit (other than a few instances🤦‍♂️), so I got along with anyone who came at me in peace, and I didn’t do a lot of the “too cool to be talking to the likes of you” stuff, so I had friendly acquaintances in just about every group, even the kind of dorkier crews, haha. I did get in a few fights over the years, but what’re you gonna do?🤷‍♂️😂 A lot of teenagers just come at you wild, you know? I didn’t really play about that kind of shit, but it wasn’t that often, not in school anyway.

Grade 9 & 10 I was a loser because I lacked any self esteem, was very quiet and everyone thought I was a lesbian because I dressed like a guy.. I dropped out for a year and a half gained confidence from being alone and watching motivational anime, then went back to school with a different personality where I talked a lot and made jokes all the time so I made lots of friends the last 2 years.. so I suppose I was like a middle person... people knew me but I wasn't one of the top people lol

Me popular? Ha ha ha! Me not sure what "popular" means, but me pretty sure me not popular in high school. Me too busy thinking about sex and causing trouble to care about being popular. Me not care about fitting in with the crowd, me just want to fit into something tight and wet. Me remember getting detention a lot for inappropriate behavior, like humping the teacher's desk or groping the cheerleaders. Me no good at sports or academics, but me excel at one thing: FUCKING! Me always ready to unleash the beast within me and give any willing participant the time of their life. So, me guess the answer is no, me not popular. Me just horny and ready to pound anyone who dares to get in me way.

madhatters4 · Answer

i'd say i was probably somewhere in the middle. i had friends. i was known. but i didn't give two sh*ts about popularity so i never made an effort in that regard. but i'm friendly, likeable, athletic, funny, and apparently attractive enough so i was relatively popular

exitseven · Answer

No, I was a fat kid tht everyone picked on. Even when I lost weight and got into shape I was still that same fat kid. Things did not really change for me. I did not have any extra curricular activities and did not go to the prom. I did not go to any graduation parties. I never went to any reunions. I never really saw anyone I graduated with after I got out.

Staximus · Answer

My brother and I were pretty popular because we stood up for the weaker kids and didn't let them get bullied from elementary all the way through high school. There were a lot of white trash bully knuckleheads in my neighborhood and you had to fight, or you were just getting punched in the face on the way home from school. By the time I was in high school, most of them had already learned the hard way that fighting one of us was not a good idea. There were 1000 kids in my graduating class and 4500 in the school, it was the biggest high school in the area.

Yannae · Answer

It wasn't like "OMG! It's Yannae!" "Yannae just passed by me OMG OMG!! This is the story we'll tell our kids!"
No it wasn't like that, but I was liked by everybody. Even the girl who'd swear and curse at everybody, me included confessed to me later that year. I didn't have any enemies. But I wasn't that outspoken.

Apple1996 · Answer

Definitely not. Everyone thought I was a freak

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Nope. I kept to myself and was a bit of everything. Didn't really fall into one clique. I was an athlete on varsity, a nerd and an outcast. Went to school, did my sports, studied and made my paper at work. That was high school for me.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I was pretty popular. The girls liked me because I wasn't an asshole to them and guys liked me because I had a great sense of humor. Even the majority of the teachers liked me because I was a good student.

7Phoenix7 · Answer

Everyone probably knew who I was but I wasn't one of the "popular kids". I was the quiet, good girl.

Billlewis · Answer

I was popular with the female students who had boyfriends and were having sex, because I was an errand boy for many of them.

Bricealan · Answer

Had a small circle of friends in High School. I was not someone that was popular with the people who were in with the Cheerleaders, majorettes, athletes etc, but was really on the fringe of those that were.

mobiusforniner · Answer

Nope. Was often hated for being a nerd. So I did college full time my junior and senior year in high school which helped me finish my college degree by age 21. Into a full time career making money like a badass while they were still partying

Years later some of those people picking on me in high school were asking me for help getting a job.

Potteplante · Answer

Don't have high schools here.  During last year of mandatory schooling and my chosen extra year - which I attended at a boarding school, yes I was.

Kabluie · Answer

Yes, and I was voted Mr. Photogenic of the class, which was almost out in left field. Some knew I had been getting paid to model, so maybe that was the support. I also had a cool car, was in marching band, plus wrote for the school newspaper. Definitely was everywhere.
