What stereotype were you in high school?

[Pupweb]

Since I’m graduating in a few months, I thought I’ll make a fun question:)

The Jock (Usually popular athletes, seen as charismatic leaders or arrogant, and stereotyped as uninterested in academics)

The Nerd (Smart, academically focused, and often into STEM or gaming, but stereotyped as socially awkward)

The Popular Kids (Outgoing, stylish, and socially active, sometimes seen as cliquish or mean)

The Emo/Goth (Dark-clothed, alternative music lovers with an artistic side, often seen as moody or rebellious)

The Theater Kids (Dramatic, expressive performers, often loud, energetic, and part of close groups)

The Rebels (Don’t follow the typical school norms, often seen as edgy or rule-breakers)

The Overachievers (They take AP/honors classes, join clubs, and aim for top colleges, often seen as stressed or perfectionists)

I'd say rebel.
I began high school (10th grade) in the fall of 1969. I was immediately befriended by some people who were in, what you might call, the "hippie" clique. I had also begun surfing a year before. And I had started learning guitar when I was eleven.

I was distrustful toward authority and kind of rebellious.

So I gravitated toward the surfers and hippies, counter-culture artists and thinkers.

I went to my first rock concert in 1970 and became obsessed. I started playing in garage bands as lead guitar an vocalist. I got into hard rock when hard rock was new.

I ditched classes on occasion and partied a lot. But I graduated and immediately enrolled in community college.

[WindAtMyBack]

I was four of those, and maybe more that aren't listed.

I was a jock, but not a stereotype jock.
I suppose I was a bit nerdy, but not too much.
I was fairly popular and knew all the popular kids.
I was rebellious, but so were most people at that time. Maybe me more than most.

There was no such thing as emo, goth, punk, or glam at that time. But 3-5 years after graduation I hung out with a lot of proto goth/punk/glam people. They weren't separate groups and all hung out together.

I hung out with almost anyone. Jocks and kids who couldn't do two push up. Popular kids, and unpopular kids. Smart kids and special ed kids. Pretty much anyone.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

We were too small for those kinds of personalities. You were either a former homeschool kid or a kid with cheap, christian parents. The whole student body was less than 100 kids. My graduating class? Only 12 people, and it was the second largest graduating class that school had seen in 7 years.

[Caroline91]

I could mix with most groups and did. I was known for being both kind and outspoken. And bullies headed the other way. But mostly, I was only there for classes. My social life was over at the university with my big brother. And I would sit in on whatever classes I could there, too.

[Sonorous]

I was the one that nobody cared about so much that nobody even noticed that I just stopped going entirely.

[beefcakebradybatson]

With my looks, I should have joined Theatre Club, but I was extremely shy.

[Sonorous]

@beefcakebradybatson I was decent looking... well... underneath the mountains of fat 🤣

[beefcakebradybatson]

I entered Grade Nine at five-three,100-105 pounds and looked ten instead of thirteen. Even in Grade Thirteen, I was eighteen, looked fourteen (the age most start Grade Nine, but I was gifted), and five-nine,135 lb.

[Sonorous]

no idea how much I weighed but it was enough to get blamed if someone's food went missing 👄

[beefcakebradybatson]

That sucked, Sonorous.

[Sonorous]

oh no it was probably me but they ain't have to blame me so fast ykwim

[nolabels]

I'm now 66 years old.
In high school, there was no stereotype in which I could have been placed.
I was friends with every conceivable type of student, but not necessarily with the hardcore examples of some of the stereotypical types.

I was me.
I still am me.
I have friends and acquaintances from many walks of life.

Lucky me, huh?

[Simslover92]

Out of all of these I would have to say the Nerd though I wasn't good in Science. I had like a D in biology and chemistry. But I made up for it with Math, History and English.

[FreyaRed]

I was always the new one. Later as my parents did stop to change our living location more often than bed sheets, I became popular kid but I avoided to be for too long in one team.

[DryGermanGuy]

None. We liked to be outside, riding our bikes or sit inside playing computer games. We went to music festivals, bars and football games or met to learn for important exams.

[HungTexan]

I was the jock, multiple sports, but I was really the nerd and overachiever. Valedictorian, National Honor Society, etc.

[Billlewis]

I don’t know if I fit into any of these categories, but my beta cuck persona began to develop, when some of the girls started having me do various favors for them and run their errands, etc.

[DancingQueen16]

I think I kinda fit into two categories because I took theater classes but I also have social anxiety and I'm really quiet and I would never talk to anyone I didn't know unless they talked to me first

[Hellraiser1984]

Outcast. I had no friends. I sat by myself and never wanted to be with any clique. I hated everyone. My teachers treated me like crap. Everyone else hated me. I used to eat lunch in the restroom to avoid everyone else. Severe undiagnosed Social anxiety disorder.

[Nikki1989]

Part nerd, part goth, part popular and part overachiever.

[Ironco]

Same here. I fit in with everyone.

[Iron_Man]

I was a popular athlete that signed autographs

[Pupweb]

Seriously, like actual autographs?

[Iron_Man]

Yes I did

[WhitneySnow]

A mix of nerd, emo/goth (sometimes), theater kid and overachiever

[Joshydavid25]

I was more of a quiet kid really.. I did sports (wrestling) I took an AP and Honours class, but it amounted to nothing..

[DishLady]

Part Rebel, part overachiever. A lot of unexpected breakthroughs.

[ChicoFromThe305]

The good kid, I was so convincing that I'd be gone for a week and my teacher still didn't believe I was skipping

[lilBigPotato]

First half I was in the emo camp, then I evolved into popular kids camp

[Dnice1]

The nerdy girl nice girl next door, I was sorta popular because I was so nice to everyone 😊

[KittygosMeoWW]

Emo turned popular/sporty when my body matured I noticed guys were nicer.

[PeterLegg91]

You had a six pack?

[Anonymous]

I was a good mixture of rebel theater. Technically, I was choir ROTC knew everybody or just the upper class man just a weird kid.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Everybody thought I was the big dumb jock until they seen my grades

[bowenw]

Nerdy but not particularly academic.

[WonderingManII]

People probably hated me because I was nerd, but not a smart one.

[strateguy632]

Nerd but no special honor classes!

[Still-alive]

Quiet kid with nerdy tendencies.

[exitseven]

None. I was one of a kind. I still am.

[andreasderjuengere]

I wasn't, and still am, not a stereotype :)

[Anonymous]

I was the fit athlete who hung out with the nerds, emos, farmers.
I was a rebel.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Is dreamboat outsider/loner a stereotype?

[Pupweb]

Sure.

[DrPepper12]

Burn out. Bender was my hero!

[Likes2drive]

Somewhere in between nerd andJock

[Ariesman81]

Overachiever/nerd/jock. A floater really.

[Valdemort]

The loner lol

[nawtee_me]

A rebel all the way or a bad boy….

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No idea and didn't care.

[Anonymous]

Lonely introvert.
