I was a social outcast. My ideas, not to mention my sexuality was taboo.

Was the small bookish/nerd guy at a tiny school in very rural Louisiana. Skipped my senior year to go to college early as never looked back.

i was a total wallflower goofball that kept to himself. No clubs/sports, etc. definitely not one of the cool kids!

No , I was not.

I was a loner and gravitated toward the stoner community. I would also like to add that I was thrown out of my house at 16 and my 21 year old boy friend married me. All of a sudden, everyone in school, including all the guys knew my name. Weird.

I was a loner and gravitated toward the stoner community.

Kept to myself except for a few close friends. Wasn't into the popularity thing..I was too nerdy anyway.

Made up for a lack of confidence with forced bravado....sometimes. Most of the time I preferred to stick to myself.

I think I was seen by classmates and teachers, as the peculiar one. I was pretty much cue blind as I had a weird backstory and my parents were mad as a poked hornets nest. I didn't actually have the option to do anything more than be in the out group but strangely it was the making of me and I decided to kick hard against all the conventions of school life and become "the outsider' for some inner strength.

I usually kept to myself I had a couple of friends that I played with after school Went t all male Jesuit high school and college and worked after school

I knew everyone in my HS but I did not hang out with them very much and did not date anyone in my HS. My best friend in grammar school was sent to a Friends school and I dated a couple of guys from that school. Mostly not interested in school and barely managed to graduate, spent the last half of my senior high. I had bought my own car and toted up every morning on the way in.

I wore the same color as the walls and rarely spoke. I kept my head in books. Moving with my family made me the eternal "new girl".

I went to Bronx Science. It is a school for the kids who would not be popular in some other High School.

I was a puppet master. I don't know if it made me popular. Just...effective?

I was popular because my buddies and I had a band and the keyboard players mom let us throw wild shows in the living room. One time we lit our buddy Jarred on fire. He was wearing coveralls as well as many other layers but still incredibly reckless and stupid. But I really only associated with my band mates and a hand full of other burn outs. So I was popular in that people knew me as the lead singer of Silence(my band) but I kept to my circle because I was known as the lead singer of Silence. We where a mix of Marilyn Manson, The Misfits and Primus. Everyone thought we where into animal sacrifices and things of that nature. My best friend Vera(the keyboard player) and myself where known as "the black twins" by the faculty. On account all we'd wear is black. Haven't thought about those days in a while. Thanks EmeraldJewel for posting a question that filled me with fond memories of my reckless youth.

I was a loner and I still am.

I was the kind to skip school as often as possible.

My afro was the largest in the school. Only student that managed to start school of 9:50. I got away with so many things in my life and school that it is ridiculous and not even fair. I had 2 classes in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. As a senior. I was a dealer. All in my past. I could had failed my classes and they would had passed me to get rid of me. The principal told me your are graduating when I hinted dropping out to go to new york and comeback next year. She said No, you are graduating. My H.S. infamous for years for having in every class one student in his 5th year when it was a 3 year program. I think my class in 1972 was the first one without a former member of 1970 class. I was out of control. I lead a "strike" because during the primaries they used the school and when we arrived monday morning the school was not cleaned, so Tuesday we chained the main doors and if someone wanted to attend classes would had to go thru the school back door. Wednesday, the school was clean or the chains go back up. The school was large and very impressive for many things, was the "It public school" in Puerto Rico. Central High School nicknamed "El Palacete" because of the columns.

I was in a cultish religion, so I was the one hiding in the corner. Attending school was hell.
