I was the loner goth girl. *grin* I didn't really consider myself goth at the time, though I did own quite a few articles of black clothing and was very big into poetry (I still am), which seem to be two of the stereotypcical traits of the average goth chick. I've never been very big into labels, though.

I was everything and yet nothing. I had my own style and was friendly to anyone who gave me the chance. I never liked labels and stereo-types and even recently took a quiz for 'Which stero-type are you?" and my result was NONE.
I was least interested in befriending the cheerleader/jock group bcuz so many of them were mean and/or stuck up... I was more likely to befriend the underdogs, who were being picked on by that group. I would have fallen into the Teacher's Pet category more so than Teacher's Pest bcuz although I was goofy in class I still got good grades ; )
I had aquaintances from every clique but only a couple of really close friends. My two closests friends were from two different groups or cliques and would have been considered part of the stoners (smoking b4 school) and punks (skateboarders).
Those were the days : )

I'm a bit like you :)
I had all kinds of friends from most of the stereotypes. I had a best friend that was the preppy/cool/popular cheerleader (were friends since we were four) but I never hung out with her at school. I hung out mostly with the dorks and 'grunge' kids - including one of my other best friends. I talked to everyone who was nice. I hated being mean to the poorer kids and always made it a point to be nice to those who got teased the most (like I said those that were nice).
However - I was a cheerleader. Never would have guessed huh myspot. As I said though I didn't hang out with them. I was the odd ball on the bunch. I love the competitiveness and gymnastics. I was going to quit cheerleading but my parents said I would have to stop gymnastics too so I kept on. I did it my 8th, 9th, and 10th grade years. I was going to take 11th grade off as a break but then we moved to IN.

I'm a mixture of everything except nerd and cheerleader. My friends and I tend to isolate ourselves from people so we branded ourselves as autistic. We have a different way of thinking up to the point where our ideas are weird and out of this world, but thatnks to those ideas we placed 1st and 2nd during the Math & Science Fair. I'm also a jock in highschool but I don't parade myself wearing the school varsity uniform and bag, people only realized that I'm an athlete during the time when my best friend and I where excused from class because we have to compete and then the principal announced after the national anthem that our group placed 3rd and beat over 50 schools.
Hmm.. Reminiscing..

i don't know what i would have been. i was kind of in between. i wasn't in any sports, but a few friends were. i did stats for soccer as i had 2 friends that played on the team. it was a small school. i had a decent group of friends. I wasn't nerdy or the brain. i tried to be friends with everyone. so i really don't know where that put me. kind of invisible i guess.

we often call the time in junior school and high school.In that time ,we act some silly things,but it's also a beautiful picture ,isn't it? In high school I often stand up in class debating the question of Chinese with our headteacher,and she is very angry indeed.

I was very quiet in high school. There were 596 in my class alone and I had my few very close friends. I was friendly to everyone, but was not popular by any means. I was a baton twirler in the marching band. I just had my 20th reunion and the funny thing is many of the 'popular' guys made it a point to talk to me. Two of them told me that they had a crush on me in high school. I think they just wanted to get lucky that night:)

i think i could be some of the types:athlete and teacher's enemy. Athlete because since i was in elementary school i always asked by my teacher to take part in the match. badminton,volleball,softball,and also chess.it continues till i was in senior high. Teacher's enemy? yup! that was also.specially my religion and art teacher because i cannot read the Quraan and i cannot draw well. they keep remembering me and keep an eye on me during the lessons. sometimes they gave me F! HAHAHAHA

When I was in high school, I think I was typecast as the nerd in the class. I’m always conscious about my grades and I always make it a point that I have high marks in all of my subjects.

Oh...those were the days...quite remembering...me personally during my high school days i was very much active on extra curricular activities.Being a PRO on Student Formational Activity Council (SFAC), making some announcements for activities for various clubs every morning on stage.It helps me to build and develop my self-confidence in facing different faces of people.I do enjoy it a lot.Though there are times i was quite afraid maybe because i don't konw if i have pronounce it well on the audience but in totallity i like what ive done. That is why wherever i walked i used to encounter lot of people who make smiled at me and i do smile in return also even i dont know their names but their face are just familiar with me.I was also the adviser for Social Science Club in our school.Being a board member on our cooperative as well. I would say that i have the best time of my high school days.

When I was still in high school I am always a consistent honor student and I like Math subject a lot.In fact I got high grades in that subject.I also spent my free time after classes in the gym playing basketball with my schoolmates.I really enjoyed those high school years.It's very nice to reminisce those wonderful moments in our life.

Hmmnnn! Well, I don't know if all of you will believe on what I'm going to write here. Here it is...
When I was in my first year highschool, I was a timid one... Shy type but a cheerleader... Title holder of our Miss Freshmen Pageant... Don't know if playing Dart makes me a Sporty one.
When I was in my second year highschool, a cheerleader again... An active member of a Drum and Bugle Corps... A Dancer... A little brainiac, I think.
When I was in my third year high, I'm still a cheerleader, a DBC member, a dancer, an artist...
And when I was in my fourth year, I almost experienced beigng a teacher's enemy... Still, cheerleader... Dancer... Member of DBC... Varsity... Artist...
So! To sum it up, I am a CHEERLEADER, A DBC MEMBER, & A SPORTY ONE, A DANCER.
