I was an A student, but my personality wasn’t like one of an A student.
If someone was breaking the rule, I was the first one to do it. If there’s one thing I enjoy, that’s breaking the rules. Because I was such a rule breaker, I was respected by classmates and respected by teachers as well, cause I was a good talker, could always make my way out of any situation. The school had a rule, nobody could dye their hair, I was an exception. Teachers said, she can do anything she wants, that’s “Sophie” - (My name)
My mom never came to school, she had depression so I had to do everything from the beginning to the end, that was good.
The bullies respected me and listened to me. The bullied ones felt good that I always stood for them. Later on, in high school, I actually made a bully and a bullied one befriend to each other because both of them were my friends.
The most popular guys of my class would come to me and say “If anyone ever makes you angry, just tell me”, but no one ever made me angry, on the contrary, I felt like a superstar. And if I ever had a problem, I was never going to put anyone else in the middle of my problem and always solved everything by myself.
I always helped my classmates when they were in need, because I had a good reputation in teachers’ eyes, I even saved couple of the students from being expelled, because of my word and the fact that everyone believed in what I said.
The most popular guys in school tried to get my attention, standing in front of my class everyday, trying to talk to me, flirt with me and etc. but I enjoyed not giving them attention , I liked to be special and why should have I shown interest in guys everyone liked? That didn’t feel special to me at that time. Plus, even though I was very sexy and everyone thought I was an open-minded girl, in truth I was a virgin and a romantic.
I was the queen of prom and had the most handsome guy in my class as my date on a prom day.
What kind of person does it sound to you? I don’t know if I could get any labels.
Well, I went to two different high schools, so two different environments changed me.
My first high school 9th-10th grade, I was the angsty stoner who ditched school and just had a lot of issues with school and the big environment and distractions. I had found out I was adopted and kinda rebelled and was angry at the world, so that led to me going in the wrong crowd. I had lots of friends, but they weren’t close friends. I just ditched school with them and smoked lol. Regardless, I was still a nice girl, I was still my loving, creative, helpful self, but I had a guard up, that was protecting that inner self. Anyways, I got caught with weed and decided to switch to a smaller school where I could actually graduate from lol.
My second high school 11th to 12th grade, I was still the somewhat stoner kid, but I calmed down. I got sober, I became more involved with my school, and I became one of those artsy, hippie, teachers pet student. Not in a bad way, but I excluded myself from troublemakers at this new school, which was the entire school. So, I had maybe 3 or 4 closER friends. I became more reserved and shy, but also confident and outgoing? I graduated, and I went to college :D
Anyways, I made a drastic change from freshman and sophomore year to now. But, I’ve remained pretty similar to my senior year of high school. I’m very very very reserved, I have maybe 3-4 friends online, and one close friend in person, and my boyfriend. I am still my creative self lol. I’ve become more focused with school instead of other bad habits, so that’s great on my part ❤️
Sorry for the long essay, it’s fun doing these little “reflections” on ourselves. I think it’s fun to see the improvement over the years😊
Congratulations on only having a couple of months to go! The post-high school years are an entirely different world.
Somebody on G@G asked this same question about a month or two ago, so I'll give pretty much the same reply. The high school years (and the middle school years) were a pretty bad time for me. I was a backward, ugly, skinny, withdrawn, quiet nerd who didn't do ANYTHING, other than show up for class, do homework, take tests, and pass on to the next grade. My grades were about average to a little above average. I had very few friends, and didn't even TALK to girls, because I didn't know what to say to them, and they usually either ignored me or made fun of me anyway. Sometimes I got bullied around. My senior year, I had gotten a part-time job, and seemed to get along better with my co-workers than the kids at my school. Most of them were kids from other high schools. I graduated, but was depressed and considering suicide, because I was going nowhere, work-wise or social-wise.
A couple of years after graduation, life started getting better. I had started making friends at work (minimum wage job), and one of them went back to business school to learn computers. I decided to do the same thing (paid for entirely by myself), and graduated with an Associate Degree in Data Processing. A job offer came up in another part of the state, so three years after high school, I moved there and left my old world behind.
My career was moving upward, and I started trying out things I'd never done before, like ice skating lessons, and building more self-confidence. I'd party with co-workers, and did a lot of growing up, breaking out of shells, and expanding my horizons. I ended up getting married, and we had two daughters. I'm still kind of a nerd, but now I'll look you right in the eye and say "Hi!" I've come a long way from that scared high school guy.
High school was a really jarring experience since I had just moved to the US and wasn't used to American culture and especially teenage-style American culture!
In Japan, I was a jock more than anything. I was the fastest runner, swimmer, climber, strongest wrestler, etc. Almost everyone thought my future was to become a professional athlete, and I was also only an average student. Yet when I went to the US, I wasn't relatively that good at sports anymore and the guys were much bigger; the only sport I was decent at was that I was still the fastest sprinter and long jumper in school. So I ended up joining the track team. I was also a lifelong vert skater so I ended up skating at the skate park after school every day and ended up becoming sponsored by a local skate shop.
I also went from average student to top student all of a sudden with a 4.0 GPA. I found American schools a bit easier requiring us to attend only 5 days a week instead of 6 days a week with shorter school days on top and less studying required. So I went from ultimate jock to nerd all of a sudden and from popular to a bit shy and socially clueless with people saying things like, "Sup?" to me and I didn't know what to say in response. :-D
I started becoming more sociable again in university and started partying and dating a bit. By then, I had become reasonably used to American culture and slang. Yet I still ended up maintaining the jock side with a 4.0 GPA there.

Hey congratulations!😊
in high school there were all sorts of people. Boring, fun, smart and dangerous. I was more of an extroverted introvert who'd be quiet in groups and talkative in smaller ones. I'd say that I went kinda backwards lol. I've had great friends to hang out with until college and afterwards, I became more quiet and a lone-wolf. So all my high school friends were gone and 3 remained that I got to known to them in other social activities.
Needless to say, my high school and especially college years were the best moments of my entire life!!! (19-23). I was working out a lot, had a positive aura/attitude/was very funny, I had a sick physique, I was invited to parties etc., So many girls were interested/crushing. Potentially, I could have so many relationships and slept with so many but i kept them as friends as I wanted something more meaningful. It was like not the other way around with the feelings.
That was my prime. And now here I am. Grinding for my career, introverted, social media, 🤷♂️🤷♂️.
But you know what? I am never sad that it's all over. I am soo thankful and glad that I have been there. I cherish all the good things. It could be worse... you know?
When I was in high school I was the "artsy emo surfer". I wasn't popular but I did have a lot of friends and was well known throughout the school. I was extremely bubbly according to all my teachers and friends. Teachers loved me cause I was an honor student and always had my homework turned in either on time or a day or two early. I did go to parties and smoked a bit as well as drinked with friends especially at the football games (which are considered a big deal in the south and I'm talking about football). I was into (and still am) a lot of emo/alternative bands like My Chemical Romance, Black Veil Brides, Snow Whites Poison Bite, Alesana, etc. I had neon dark blue and dark purple streaks in my hair, plus snakebites. The guys I dated were juvenile delinquents but as a teenager I thought I was in love (stupid I know).
I have changed a bit after high school. For one I dress more into pastels and more girly. The music I still listened to. My hair is normal now and the only piercings I have are my ears. I don't want to date "bad boys". But I'm still a bit artsy and I still love going to the beach.
s I was the one who kept jumping back and forth between different friend groups hahaha.
my best friends were in a different grade than me so during the breaks that we shared, I would hang out with them, and when I was with my class I would hang out with different people depending on my mood.
but I was definitely a goofball lol, people knew me as the girl who laughed at everything🤡
I was also a bit mean, but it was just banter and the people who knew me, knew that so it was all good hahaha
I was in a gang as an enforcer, sold drugs, shop lifted, committed arson, stabbed a few guys, held guns for higher ups, etc. Yes I left that life behind. But you know how they say they miss the life? Sometimes I do. They used to call me "shoeless" because when I was needed for a job I didn't even bother to waste time putting on shoes. I would go do jobs without em. I used to be able to run on hard gravel that was baking for hours in the summer heat, np. Most of my friends from then are dead or in prison due to drugs in some form or another. I left it behind before senior year thankfully.
It has been like 2-3 weeks since I came in high school (9th grade). And so far I am pretty antisocial and shy girl. I only stick with this best friend of mine who cares for me like elder sister and I am her friend since grade 6. Like we both have same bench. When one of us wants to go to washroom or fill water bottle then other will accompany the person. Except Music and Club classes we both are always together every second. So my high school life is more on friendship so far. Best friend goals! Also I became more responsible for my studies. My homeworks and notes are all up-to date unlike before I was pretty careless about notes and Homeworks. I just read the chapter carefully and gave exam. Pretty much nothing. But now I'm workaholic for studies too. And got Crush problems 😬 yeah it's the same crush from grade 6 but now I feel it more. I am that classmate who gives notes to those who haven't written lol. I will try to be more social.
Silently depressed but always was happy around people since I had to cheerlead and be this bubbly person until like senior year where I just isolated myself. I disliked my school and most people due to the discrimination I experienced and being called the n word Or not pretty as a black girl all that bs. I now work within a school system and stand up for students of color, discrimination, and equity. I’m also a mental health professional once I went to therapy when younger I knew it was what I wanted to do with others.
I was just thinking about this, this evening while eating dinner. I was the depressed, borderline-psychopath due to severe depression and household/family issues. I was voted "Most Likely To Be Our School Shooter" in our yearbook. I can agree with that assessment.
Okay, so when I was in high school, I beat up a kid so much that his spectacles broke along with his face. He deserved it.
There was this other kid, whose nose was broken by me.
My parents were nearly called, but I pulled off an act of crying in front of principal and I was given a very strict warning.
Now I keep my anger well in check to prevent such things from happening.
You may be thinking that I was a bully. On the contrary, you can say that I was sort of a balance maintainer between the bullies and the good people in the school. Because of martial arts, nobody used to mess with me. I was also one of the top 10 or 15 students in exams.
I always liked flying under the radar when i would ditch class know body knee i was not a nerd this girl liked to do my math homeworkin study hall she was a year younger and i had a huge crush on her she had a boyfriend so I left her alone in that since which i regret she did my math so good that when i flunked a test my teacher asked why I did so bad because I was getting a A I told teacher I needed to drop that class I already had the credit needed I will never forget her that was back in 1995 thank you for the first time I feel old lol
I was shy and reserved in the eyes of most teachers and people from class, but with these I were close, I was very open and goofy.
I'm at the Uni now, I'm still shy (probably will always be lol, fml) and quiet, but I can see a little change. I actually start small talk with people at the lecture sometimes, and I never initiated talk first with people I don't know before. 😅
I left high school at 15. I was a geeky kid, hung out at the library, but also used to get in fights. I had one group of friends which was all girls except for my best friend. Not sure how that came to be, but it was good fun. Aside from English, I was an awful student and if I could do it over again I would.
I had friends (half of the class) and the others half of the class I talked to them mostly for school related stuff, got along with them ok but that's it. I spend most of my time with my best friends though and in class I had good grade but I didn't listen much (only the class that interested me) the others I only read books or listened to music but usually I was quite a loner who just stayed with my best friend and we always just put yourself away from all the others people.
It was a long time ago. I was an angry sullen kid. I did not have many friends and I was bullied for a while. I think I mentally checked out during my whole senior year.
I think I got better once I went to college.
I was an arrogant young man due to the fact that I was a star athlete in every sport I attempted. My record still stands for the longest touchdown run, the most tennis matches won, the first 300 bowling game ever for my school, the fastest 100-yard dash that still stands, (mainly because they don't run the yard dashes anymore). I was a high jumper though not the best due to only being 5'10 /& 1/2 inches at the time.
Introvert and nerd. Even though its 17 years later, being married with kids, and working upper management giving briefs to auditoriums with hundreds of people, I come home, go to a quiet room and practice music or write. Maybe the maturity changed but im still me.
Quit high school and did homeschool for a year, still graduated early... just couldn't have guys touching me without a major panic attack and breakdown, so yeah that was fun.
I was incredibly shy, bullied & beaten up, I couldn’t wait to leave…
Now 22 years later I have spoken with those who put me down and beat me up, all not working.. all on poverty! I don’t brag about the situation nor do I crave or want anything from them, I just think, you put me down now I have risen up.. your still in the gutter and your staying there..
yeah I sound awful but I never threw a punch or kicked in defence, I just accepted
I’m still in high school, sophomore (wise fool) haha.
I have changed over the past few years of school through. I have been going to the same school since 7th grade, I talked to everyone more and was more confident in stuff. Plus it’s been about all the same core of 15 people for these years.
Through time I embarrassed myself a few times and every time became a bit quieter. Now I’m very shy (well I was in 7th grade too) but like really I don’t talk to much, especially because I’m losing my friend somewhat.
So I am the type of person: Quiet, afraid of saying or doing wrong things on accident, stuff like that
I didn’t fit into really any group. I floated between the nerds, the anime/manga group, and a few non-stereotypical groups. I was a bit stoic, kinda brooding, definitely pretty cringe looking back. I’m a completely different person than I was in high school.
In high school so was the epitome of compassion and religiosity but extremely vulnerable due to in inability to read who was real or fake.
