In my country, highschools don't have "popular" or "loser" people.

Enjoy your screwed puberty

I got that alot too.
Wasn't the most popular though.

I never went to parties, never had a girlfriend, and only had a few friends who by the end of High School I wasn't even close to anymore.

>>2140158
Kinda this

But of course there were the few really really hot chicks and the drunk party dudes that wanted to bang them.
Now one is dead, and the other one failed to graduate

quiet loser/nerd, no friends/gf

still am 7 years after i graduated, still no friends/gf

>>2140158
its not nationality, its human nature.

enjoy ur alien planet.

I had friends outside of school so I didn't talk to anybody as I was on a program to do two years in one and only came in for a lesson a day to give my homework in and get new tasks. People said they were afraid to approach me later.

I was a fairly normal kid in elementary school, was a little wierdo with no friends in middle school, and in high school I was the wacky genius everyone loved. Had a whole lot of fun, but never got any because my school didn't really have a gay population that weren't all fags.

Sounds just like me, OP. I never went back to being cool, but once I left school I became reasonably popular again.

>>2140211
Not the one you're replying to, but when I see stuff about american high schools on tv, or when reading posts here, or at other places on the internet, I can't relate to it one little bit.

>>2140144

Acquaintanced to many, friend to none.. Only have a select few friends from elsewhere..

OP here, Canadian

Slept through my classes and did my homework well, teachers liked me because everyone else disrupted and got off topic. It was a win-win situation.

I had friends through my friend and they were all drug addicts, I smoked with them even though the weed made me uncomfortable in social situations and hallucinate.

Joined drama club for merit and it was dramatic for the reason of seeming dramatic, felt stupid for not seeing that one coming and quit

Started skipping after lunch time but covered my tracks with signatures in nurse office, library, and last period was music theory where the teacher spent the first half playing xbox in his office.

Ran into my health teacher once on the way home of skipping (she jogged on her lunch) and she confronted me, told her I'd never do it again and chose a different route.

Fled the state and went to school on my own when I turned 18, late registration. Fuck them and fuck the educational system.
QUIT

I had no friends and while people would try to talk to me I did not notice them. I stayed as far away from everyone else as possible. Sometimes I would leave class early so I could sit in an empty room.

>>2140268
I'm >>2140237 and I'm a Dutchie

Quiet, anti-social reject. I made the mistake of revealing my low powerlevel in a ghetto high school and that branded me for the next 4 years. My teachers thought I was odd, my classmates thought I was from another planet. I made a small group of friends who were anime rejects like me in my soph year but between then and graduation, I either wasn't talking to most of them or they were avoiding me. After that, I just didn't hear from all but two people.

fat loser. Only had three friends i reguraly hung out with. Don't talk with a single one of them now.

>I was friends with most people, yet not "Hey let's go do something" kind of friends.

story of my life

>>2140340
Highschool where I live is nothing like what you see on American Television but there are certainly people who were looked up to and people who were looked down at.

I was the ultra-awkward nerd who wore all black that everybody thought was going to snap and shoot up the school.

I'm not even kidding. The stories about me were passed throughout the entire school district. People came to the school councilor saying they were afraid that I was going to kill them. No girl would touch me, few boys would talk to me. Twice I was kicked out and asked to undergo a psychological evaluation - once for a poem I wrote which dealt with the topic of suicide (one of my few actual friends had recently done just that), second because a teacher noticed a diagram of Little Boy in my binder. What, I've heard of bomb threads, but did they honestly think I was gonna nuke the school?

My only friends were computers, so I was also the computer whiz kid... the few kids who hung out with me probably did so because they thought I'd be the next Bill Gates and wanted to get in on the ground floor of my social circle...

Had a reasonably large group of friends that were really more acquaintances. Never really got out much, and was never really too close to anybody, but I spent most of high school skiving and acting like a near-recluse, so I think I did pretty well for how fucked up I was at the time.

was a nerd, but everyone was cool with me. had a punk band, and that took up most of my time. didn't go to any parties, but played shows in lots of bars and traveled around the tri-state area.

all in all it was pretty good. spent most of my time with people much older than me, though.

To all of you people who said they were losers and everyone hated you, it was probably because you assumed they did and subsequently acted like an asshole. I was the same way and then I started talking to people and people started to like me. I didn't change who I was or my interests, I just became a nice sociable person. You made yourselves miserable.

Pretty much didn't have any real friends in high school except for some friends from middle school who attended different schools. The kids I hung out with were dumbass rednecks who constantly talked about cars and went mudding. I never joined them or did anything with anyone outside of school for that matter.

It's not that nobody liked me (I was on good terms with a lot of people, known as a funny guy) it's that I just didn't really care and I'm a little socially awkward.

>>2140391
Why wear all black? I mean, for a self professed intellectual, you could at least wear practical clothing. No one's going to make fun of you for wearing a T shirt and jeans.

I'll just use quotes from my high school years to describe me and my general social situation(not that anyone cares).

"Why do you skip school all the time? You don't even have a reason do you!"
- Principle

"You need to smile more anon."
- Teacher in the middle of class after making a joke

"He's pretty hot but he never talks to anyone."
- Some girls who thought I couldn't hear them because of my mp3 player while I was at the school gym.

"You get perfect scores on your tests and the work you actually do is fantastic but you blowing off almost all my class work and school in general is killing you."
Another teacher

"Pretty sure he is a serial killer who only comes to school to choose his next victim."
Some students

Yep

>>2140356

Same here. In high school, I was on the student bulletin in the morning for half of Freshman year, all of Sophomore and Junior year, and half of Senior year. Pretty much everyone I ever talked to said that it was only watchable if I was on it. The whole school knew me and liked me. I remember one time during Freshman year I went to A&W with my family. The whole cheerleading team was there for some reason. On the way out they all noticed me and were like,"Hey, you're Anon from the bulletin!" and they all waved at me and whatever. Pretty cool as my dad talked about it to everyone for the next four years, but still asks whether or not I'm gay every month or two.

Didn't have a date or a girlfriend throughout the whole ordeal. Didn't really start hanging out with friends that often until Senior year either, as that was when my one friend got his full license meaning he could drive people. Man, that senior year was so awesome. I had a tightly knit group of friends, and two years later, we're still together (though, most of them are together because they stayed in the town after high school).

I enjoyed high school and so far am hating college.

>>2140507
Why did you not even have a license by senior year?

Quiet angry loner loser with shitty clothes and came once every 2 months

>>2140507

Also, two girls were interested in me in my senior year.

1. Some slutty slut slut chick who had been flirting with me since Freshman year. Good friend of mine's girlfriend, but they broke up. Then she had another bf but they broke up. So, she started talking to me more senior year, asking for my number, saying that I should call her, visit her at work, etc. Of course, I was not used to this, so I did none of it and later found out she had a crush on me but had moved on since I wasn't picking up any of the signs.

2. Cute, smart, nerdy chick I had known since middle school. Decided to go to prom alone though I considered asking her or someone else. Bought ticket last day. Hung out with her and other people at prom. A few weeks later when we were signing yearbooks, she wrote in mine,"I was going to ask you to prom, but I wasn't sure if you were going." I thought,"Oh shit, this is my chance," so I went up to her and just as I was about to tell her that we should go out, a friend of mine tackles me to the floor. I thought it was a joke, but he later told me he had a crush on her. I backed off but he did too after he found out she was anorexic once.

>>2140538

Didn't have a job so I didn't think about driving. Finally did during beginning of Junior year. Failed written test 2 times even though I had an A+ in Driver's Ed. (and a student of the month award in it). Took the driving test like a week before my permit ran out a year later. Passed that first try, but I still wasn't 18 yet so I couldn't drive anyone.

Still have never had a job, actually, and I'm a sophomore in college. :p

Had a few close friends and wanted it to stay that way, so generally, around everyone else I did enough that they wouldn't dislike me but not enough for them to be "Hey let's go do something" friends, as OP put it.

I am failing at socializing in higschool even as I type this sentence.

High school was too big to have the 'popular/unpopular/everybody else' dynamic. I think the fact that it was half ESL students also contributed to that. We had, sorta, 'classes' which was essentially defined by where you sat at lunch: The Smokers, the Stair Dwellers, the Parkers, Math Wingers, Newsies, ect. Like the Recess cartoon, only on a bigger level.
We had the more 'popular' people, but that was because they were friendly and organized events and were all 'team spirit rah rah rah', student body member types. And there were 'loser' kids, but enough of them that nobody gave a fuck and they hung out on their own.
(Elementary school though, oh boy. I don't know if it was because I lived in the Canadian sticks, but everyone seemed to have the idea that school SHOULD be like it is on American television and since I was a bookworm with glasses, I'm automatically the freakish nerd that everyone avoids. I'm glad I didn't get as fucked up at most teased kids did.)

I was the 'bridge' kid, friends with everybody but never really stuck in one group. Everyone signed my yearbook, I was involved in a number of activities and stuff, but I was super shy and never really did anything after school. Other than a few teachers and experiences, high school was entirely unmemorable.

I have always had friends and I have been part of

WHO THE FUCK AM I WRITING THIS FOR
THIS DOES NOT HELP ME AT ALL
I AM GOING TO SLEEP AND WILL HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS THREAD TOMORROW OR IT WONT BE ANYMORE

FUCK

My best friends were one of the groups of hot girls, but I was also close enough friends with the basketball, football, and track teams.

I knew everyone I wanted to know. I was a smart, cynical asshole and everyone loved me for it. And if they didn't, fuck them anyway.

tl;dr I kicked ass in high school.

>>2140686
Lol, yeah fucking right.

>>2140674
THAT'S IT MAN, JUST LET IT OUT
LET IT ALL OUT.

A few friends freshman year. We had silly adventures that could be put into an PG rated coming of age movie.

Sophmore year I started selling weed (I started smoking in 7th grade and progressed more and more until that point). I eventually got more friends through this (not that I didn't keep my old ones) and had some good times. I also had to deal with alot of douche bags who seemed to be disgusted they had to talk to me to get weed so that their house parties could be SO CASH BRO.

I stopped selling my junior year but kept alot of the friends I made through it. That was probabally my best year in school. My grades were good, my friends were good, and I was just generally in a good mood.

Senior year was pretty lame, my close friends had gone off to college a year before me and I really wanted to leave high school at that point.

Never really had much to do with girlfriends, except a couple short relationships freshmen year and some crazy bitch sophmore year who was fun to poke with my penis, but crazy.

>>2140144
pretty much this except with a couple of close friends

Eh, I never skipped and I never got in trouble. I just read books all day and received B's in almost all classes by doing well on tests and enough class work to just get by.

I was liked by most people, but never stood out as anything beyond "that nice kid." I was not in anyone's inner circle of friends, but everyone assumed I was.

As a result, no one invited me to do anything or go anywhere.

>>2140701

Why would I lie, Anon? Is it really so hard for you to believe that normal people use 4chan? This isn't some small geek-cult, you know?

I didn't even know half the kids in my class. I had a few friends who were nearly as nerd as myself, and we kept a low profile.

I pretty much worshiped my "best friend", ignored my real best friend, and now that I look back on it, realized how much of a mean, superficial bitch that "best friend" was and how my poor choices in highschool probably resulted in my current state of friendlessness.

I should have just stayed the loner/nerd instead of blindly following her. I bet everyone thought I was just as big a bitch as she was.

>>2140761
its jealousy
either that or meta-trolls

>>2140750
This person right here is me.
Word. For. Fucking. Word.

I go to a few parties. But I'm still a virgin =/

I'm ok popular. I'm known by everyone in my grade, more people in grades below and above me. However, I have my clique of friends I associate with. I could go to any party I wanted to but I choose not to.

>>2140719
Oh yeah, for that 'how many people knew me' factor, besides my friends, most people really didn't know my name. If teachers would give a student papers to hand back I always knew when I was about to get mine because everyone already had theirs and the person would go to the teacher and ask whose paper they were left with. Always.

It was usually really hard for me to get a girlfriend, despite the fact that a majority of people liked me and thought I was hilarious, and I wasn't unfriendly with anyone except for Scott because Scott was a fucking dick. Fuck you Scott, nobody likes you

PREPARE FOR LONG POST
im in highschool, junior (underage etc.etc.) big school, everyone has their circe.

freshmen year was...shit, i had a group of "friends" who did nothing but tease me all the time. I stuck with them because I was a nerdy fucking loser who never left the house, never was invited anywhere, had nobadys phone number. asked a chick out, she said no. Turns out she kinda liked me (im cute), but i was such a loser, she didnt want the association.

Sophmore year wasnt fun also. first half of the year, i hung out with a group of girls; was their metro-male friend. first time i realized what i could do socially. I was a totally different person, smooth walker, smooth talker, they positivly adored me, and it was great. Unfortunatly, the two that i liked most in the group left, and 'cause everone resented me for attracting said two girls' affection for so long, i got shirked back to my old, abuse group of friends, who made up for lost time, making me promptly forget how cool i could be. As for women, i asked a girl for her number once, positivly adorable girl in my french class; reminiscent of a bond girl, but nerdier, and 5x cuter. I was so nervous while asking, it probably creeped her out, and she gave me a rejection that could make iceland shiver. Disheartening to say the least.

Junior years going great in comparison. Finally realized im somewhat good looking, but i dont flaunt it. Im part of several social circles; the lower echelons mostly, some popular girls here and there, but ile never forget my nerd friends. Ive completely cut all ties to the group that treated me like dirt for so long. I have real friends, we hang out in school, go to the movies, we even have LAN parties. Every time i walk down the hallways, someone acknowladges me. People never make fun of me anymore (except in sports, im terrible); im accepted.

>>2141432
cont. lol i acually wrote all this? for 4chan!?


i have a shit-ton of regrets for staying with the abusive group for so long, for being a retard in the asking of nerdy bond girl (who i still kinda like. I see her on the way to gym; we avoid eye contact), but lifes gotten swell and its getting sweller.

original content.

I went to an all girls public highschool for six years.

I was known pretty well by everyone in my grade (teachers and students) and was voted school captain. The 'popular' group were actually the vapid sluts (who I got on well with) but by default I mostly hung out with the academically focused group.

They weren't losers (partied on the weekends/ had boyfriends) but I still felt something was lacking. At the end of grade 10 I made friends outside of school. This group (mostly composed of guys) took over as my main circle of friends.

My school friends were always peeved about this but never explicitly brought it up. The results (good and bad) were that in my senior years I went out a lot more, took a lot more drugs and knew a lot more people compared to my school friends. Although my attendance was horrible and I was a shitty school captain my teachers never said anything because my grades were excellent.

Reflecting now that I'm in University I feel a bit jaded by the whole social scene/partying thing. Stuff I should be experiencing for the first time I did when I was 16. I hang out with 'cool' people and go to 'cool' parties but it all seems a bit soulless.

It's funny, because despite the fact that i was a loser, everyone was relatively nice to me. I certainly wasn't bullied.

Elementary School through Junior High I was basically an outcast, never more than 1 or 2 really good friends.

First year or so of High School we pooled into an average sized group (for a small school) of 10 or so people, since we'd generally came to know each other over the years. We were considered to be nerds, losers, and outcasts by the established social elite.

We then spent the next few years openly not giving a fuck about this established hierarchy. We weren't violent, we just didn't give a fuck about them and talked to/made friends with whoever the hell we felt like, regardless of perceived social standing.

By Senior year our open apathy towards them spread to most everyone else and we were all fairly popular, had friends in several different social circles, and most of us had girlfriends. "They" on the other hand had by then been reduced to an isolated small group usually away from whatever was going on. They were still acting "high" and pretty, but it was clear that nobody really liked them much.

The final blow came later that year when one of the guys from our group, my best friend in Junior High who was before regarded as that smelly kid who wore dragon shirts, won Homecoming King by popular vote against the guy "they" put up there, a typical sort of jock/popular guy type who had always won before.

as a freshman, was the stupid disillusioned anti-authority kid with a lot of baseless opinions who passed judgment obsessively. i had a fair number of friends, but i was unapproachable and was uninterested in everyone else.
midway through 10th grade, i realized what an idiot i was and completely changed my outlook on life and decided to be more forgiving of other people and from then on made friends with a lot more people.
senior year i bonded with a lot of people because everyone was finally like "fuck this petty drama everyone be friends with everyone".

I've had girlfriends and i'm actually quite popular. Almost everyone knows me.

i had to hang out with the wogs and Slavic immigrants
Hrvatska ftw lol

meh everyone else was too busy failing school to bother with us so school was okay

I went to three different high schools, and went from a nervous Bible belt kid to a closed-mouthed, cynical, defensive piece of shit.

Whenever I had a large group of friends, there was always drama. I had more success having a few friends here and there who didn't socialize in the same group.

>>2142604
Yeah? Well I don't know you.

still there :). I'm well liked
(not by everyone, but i dont have many enemies, and people talk to me), but I only have one 'true' friend. I get along with people, i like them, but in someways I dont. My reclusive nature usually comes off as weird to most, so it keeps me from getting close to the friends i have. I think it bothers a lot of the people who get to know me.

So basically, I have a lot of 'friends' and one actual friend.

I had a couple of friends in the small, Bible-belt high school I went to, one of which I ended up going out with for a while, who I kept in contact with after leaving - but, this was a school where the geography teacher would go off on rants about the liberal media, and more than quite a few frequently came to school with red tape over their mouths, and pieces of paper taped to their back reading, "40,000 babies are killed in America every day, so I'm staying silent for them," or something similar; I was called a baby-killer by one of the teachers, and a Darwinist by the Principal.

So, it wasn't one of the funner times of my life, but I did love that girl a lot. She was lovely.

In my freshman year, I mostly hung out with the anime kids, but before too long I realised, wow, these people are fagets, and started moving away, mostly just sticking to people I'd known for a long time, until I for reasons no greater than circumstance started associating with the stoners.

Stoners are cool people, it turns out.

>>2140144
OP I feel you. I was the kid that was LOLO FUNNAY and told jokes in middle school then I grew the fuck up and all highschool people were still expecting me to tell fart jokes. Even though everyone "loved me" and said I was the coolest kid, never once did I receive a phone call to hang out from anyone other than my closest friends.

1st Year: Total outcast, treated as shit and almost went suicidal. Had no friends, did not joined any clubs, and had a 2.0 average.

2nd-4th Year: Moved to a small specialized school (Kennedy Krieger High School). I had three friends, but where more aquantances. Social structure is not the same in public schools, even though it's not possible to be popular (which I had no interest of), I usally sit with the teachers instead with the student. GPA 3.5-4.0

I never had any girlfriends or gone to any house parties. And I would had no interest in going to one anyway even if I knew of any.

i never attained any sort of popularity until senior year when i made a ton of friends who i am still incredibly close with.

>>2142505
Fucking awesome dude. My friends and I were in a similar social status, we weren't popular, though not despised. But I wish I thought of something like what you did in high school, turning the tables and what not.

>>2142863
Story of my life. I was such a fucking tool in middle school, I had friends, but only because I took the fall and did stupid shit just so I could be 'accepted', In high school I started sticking up for myself and people hated me, I started working out because I was such a mess and needd relief and I became a gruff, unapproachable guy. I ditched the popular kids and joined up with a bunch of weeaboos (though I hated anime) and other social recluses, it was pretty fun. I stopped aiming for parties and all I did was get nerdy friends. I don't regret it though. I wasn't fit to be in the popular scene in the first place, glad I gave up and turned to something else.

I met new friends only because of the friends I already had. I still have them today, but haven't made any new ones since high school (which was only 2 years ago for me, to be fair, but that's still probably pretty bad.) Everybody seemed to energetic, friendly, and happy and I felt uncomfortable and avoided people when I could. I really wasn't social at all, never went to a dance, never had a girlfriend, etc. But I'm okay with it, because I know that I really couldn't have handled all of it. I met some good people who are still my friends, so I don't really regret what I did in high school, socially anyways.

I don't know why, but I based my social standing throughout highschool on lunch

Freshman Year- 1st semester, read books in the library during lunch.
2nd semester I sat at a table with a few "anime kids" one readhead, one big guy, someone else, and a fellow sax player.

Sophmore year- 1st semester sax player moved away, I went back to library until I met a few people who were gamers then we just talked about games during lunch. Every fucking day.
2nd semester Ate lunch with a dude who was the most apathetic guy I've ever met, cared about nothing at all. We had random people sit with us for some reason and I met a lot of people that way.

junior year- 1st semester apathetic guy moved away, I decided that no matter how hard I try people I make friends with will just leave. So every day I would spend half of lunch in the library reading, and half eating alone with just some food and a good book. Did that every single day of junior year, after the first semester I just got used to it.

Senior Year- Holy shit, I walked into the lunch room first day of school expecting to read and eat as usual, when this chick I knew in band was all like " Hey, why don't you sit with us." I considered it probably being out of pity but decided whatever, and ate lunch with some of the most well known people at school (football captain, morning show host, etc.). After a while became good friends and eventually went out with the chick who first invited me. Now at university I still eat lunch with her and some other music majors we know.

Random fact- I was always the only black guy at my tables all throughout highschool.

EDITCAUSEIHAZINTERNETOCD!!!

I was just thinking about this today...find myself thinking about this very subject pretty often lately :-(

I was a fat, bookish nerd for most of middle school. Puberty did a number on my ability to socialize (I could *not* stop thinking about sex with anyone at any given time), so that didn't help either.

Fast forward to the last year of middle school; Dad gets tired of seeing his fat fuck son wallowing in his own self-pity and vidya' games and forces me to join football team. I get into shape, plus years of sexual frustration translated into very violent tendencies on the field, which in turn made me a popular fixture on the team (I used to chew soda cans until my gums bled then scream profanities at the other teams, etc.)

Football led to a gang, and the gang led to sweet, sweet drugs. Add to that my being in the gifted program where I catered to the burgeoning drug habits of the even more socially-awkward children of rich, yet emotionally distant families, I became a very effective intermediator between various high school cliques.

To wit, high school was the greatest time of my life. I was getting laid constantly, partied in what at least seemed exotic locations at the time, and had all the drugs one could ever dream of abusing.

I decided I needed to become an "adult" in college and joined ROTC, so college was decidedly less entertaining. It's all been downhill from there...

I had one girlfriend. For the most part, people liked me okay, and I had a number of friends, but I got some shit. Got teased a little, but quite a few people who gave me shit end up being decent acquaintances once they realized I had the balls not to give a shit what they thought about me. I never really fit in with any particular social circle, even though I had a few decent friends in pretty much all of them.

...still never fucked any hot chicks though =\

Haha OP, I wish I had more friends that were friends even after school ended.

Hi, >>2143073!!!
>>2143085 here, and also fellow melanin-enhanced specimen.

In high school, it was all the rage for a while for erstwhile "plain" white kids to identify themselves as anything but; for instance, a girl I knew was full-blooded Irish Catholic, but insisted she was Mexican through some convolusion of logic that involved the Catholic church.

Maybe there was something to be said for having a unique ethnic trait afterall?

>>2143073
>I was the only black guy at my tables during high school

MOTHER FUCKING SAME.

K-3rd grade, was stuck in a Baptist christian school, was the paranoid Asian kid the all-white school picked on.

4th-6th grade, was the misfit who came up with weird theories of everything and didn't try hard in school, probably had ADD

7th-12th grade, was known as the awkwardly tall asian "genius" girl who was kinda geeky and didn't go to parties and never got asked out.

college, settled for a 3-year relationship with the first guy that asked me out and now all the guys I had a crush on back in high school admitted that they liked me back but felt like I was too good for them...until I ended up with the neckbeard animu guy in college who I feel too sorry for to break up with. Also, no longer a genius, and is recognized at most as an "outside thinker". Sigh.

>>2143119
>>2143144

Funny, glad to know I wasn't the only black guy that did this, sure seemed like it in Highschool

>>2143180
>7th-12th grade, was known as the awkwardly tall asian "genius" girl who was kinda geeky and didn't go to parties and never got asked out.

When I read "girl", this story stopped making sense to me...

That is to say...on the one hand, considering the overwhelming number of anime-fag asian fetishists on 4chan alone, it's hard for me to imagine any humanoid with epicanthic folds and a vagina having trouble with men.

On the other hand, I know that when *I* was in high school, manga was unheard of. Although it's not to say that there wasn't asian fetishizing occuring (our prom queen was Korean-something mixed) there was still enough of it to make me think that any half-decent looking Asian girl would have had no problems.

I'm still in high school (I'm a senior, inb4 shitstorm)

In elementary school I had no friends, in middle school I played up my "nerd" image and got "nerd" friends but our schools got split in 8th grade and I began to develop what is either ADHD or bipolar II disorder (was recently diagnosed with ADHD, quickly realizing I most likely am bipolar though) around this time and had the shittiest year

freshman year I was a massive friendless faggot who nobody liked

10th grade I got some friends who I looked up to and would invite me over every once in a while but they were bmx kids and drank at parties and things like that, and I was fat and scared of drugs

11th grade I began getting very interested in music (hipster garbage), developed a well known silly personality and became something of a witty class clown, started to feel extremely depressed but didn't tell anyone, started drinking and doing a few drugs to self medicate, began to feel more comfortable with myself as a person, wasn't in any sort of clique; rather I was just friends with everyone

senior year, started the school year on concerta and suffered a noticeable loss of personality. however, also lost 30 pounds from not eating anything and grew out my hair a bit so I had some confidence. began to suffer from some kind of identity crisis, started having weird emotional breakdowns when drunk, believe it or not was voted homecoming king (neither due to overwhelming popularity or as a joke, but rather as a combination of the two). friends are starting to notice extreme instability and are no longer hanging out with me. last night got drunk at a party, claimed everyone was laughing at me, punched some kid in the face, ran away from the house and had what I think is a major depressive episode (third time something like this has happened in the past month)

>>2143182
I never played sports so I wasn't cool enough to hang with them I guess.

>>2143294
Whoa dude, you should totally write this stuff down as a book.
Title it... "Catcher in the Rye."

>>2143294
sorry that was long I'm currently pretty self-absorbed and self-loathing

>>2143236

I should clarify--the high shcool (well, combined 7-12th grade) I went to was almost all Asian, like near 80% if you count the Indians, etc. So, not to stereotype since there were exceptions, but the guys were mostly really short so they felt too insecure to ask me out since I was taller than them (at least two guys admitted this later on), the Indian guys seemed to like to stick with Indian girls, and the tall guys were almost inevitably too popular to be seen with a geeky girl.

Supply and demand, asian girl in an asian highschool without the usual asian girl tendencies (eg. not air brained, fashionable asian girl with highlights and layered hair) is then not very in-demand. I should have known better when I entered college I guess.

>>2143294
You might want to get your meds situation sorted the fuck out before college...as in, not even going until you do.

>>2143333
Holden was never homecoming king D:

>>2143346
what do you mean sorted out?

>>2143343
>without the usual asian girl tendencies (eg. not air brained, fashionable asian girl with highlights and layered hair) is then not very in-demand.

One of us lives in a bizzaro-Asian American world I suppose, because I have never encountered such types of Asian women outside of Asia itself. In high school, they were almost all viciously studious, terrified of their parents, modest and horribly Christian (large Korean community, mind you) or otherwise socially conservative.

Your world...it fascinates me so.

>>2143357
Concerta obviously didn't work/isn't working, and college is not the time for your doctor to be experimenting with psych meds to find one that fits...not the first couple of years of college, anyway.

>>2143393
oh yeah I guess, I didn't really think about it all that much, thanks though

>>2143383

Look up Cerritos, CA, 40% asian

Then look up Whitney High School, which is the magnet school in the area with double the neighborhood asian count. Instead of the usual high school stratification you get some interesting niches being filled in by asians, and multiple roles being covered too because it's a tiny but overachieving school (eg both band geek and jock coolguy, cheerleader teacher's pet girl, artist technogeek, etc.)

I got out of the area as soon as I could, picked a NE college to get as far away as possible, and was slightly intimidated by white people for the first couple weeks of college, not kidding.

i was the "cute" girl who hung out with way more boys than girls. i used to hang out with the so-called popular girls, but it became too boring too quickly and it became clear to me i was just there to make them laugh. i needed friends who were laid back and had my sense of humor, so i gravitated to the boys and my two close girl best friends. i still got along with pretty much everyone else though. looking back, i think they may have found me a novelty - an asian girl who wasn't religious, didn't have strict parents, got drunk when she wanted and didn't hang out with other asians.

>>2143426
fellow asian girl who got the experience I never was able to have. high five.

>>2143426
did you hang out with black boys? :3

>>2143426
Methinks I've been on 4chan too long. Here I was, ready to label you as full of shit, until I remembered that one of my long lost high school loves fit that description to a "T". Try as she might've, she was too hot to succeed at being an unmolested tomboy, but that never did stop her...we used to call each other "porchmonkey" and "dogeater" in class.

Now I'm wistful and depressed thinking about her, so thanks for that...

>>2140356
Seconded here =(

In school I had fun with my friends, talked to them all, etc, and then outside of school I never saw anyone - I was at home doing nothing all the time.

Shit kinda sucks.

>>2141442
Trying to imagine what constitutes "abuse" by friends at that age...

>>2143523

describing my current college life, opposite of my high school life. sigh.

>>2140653
Read thread, receive bacon.

>>2140144
from late middle school to early high school it kinda sucked for me. One of my best friends went to some private school, and he was white and kind of that indie/skater type guy. i was friends with his friends mostly because of him, but now that he was gone we all pretty much stopped talking to each other...and instead I fell in with the asians. (being chinese myself)

in junior year I had plenty of (mostly asian) friends, but life was pretty good.

shit fell apart and senior year kinda sucked ass. some friends were too busy getting drunk (not a big fan personally), others were too busy being douchebag retards, girls i knew kinda started doing their own thing and they all got boyfriends that they spent all their time with, a startup band I was in fell apart way too quick, and I got increasingly cynical.

in college now and i don't have many friends. I'm at an art school, and I don't fit in with most of these weird artsy people, and my roommates piss me off all the fucking time. There are also a shitton of Korean immigrants here and the're in their own little crew, but they can tell I'm not one of them and I'm not friends with many of em. At the same time everyone else thinks I'm korean and don't really know english, so they don't seem to talk to me either. And I've got way too much work to go around randomly talking to people, and I'm not the most open person around. And I've gotten even more cynical and impatient because of goddamn roommates.

fuck. sorry dudes, needed to let off some steam.

Everyone else was buying disturbed and slipknot and i was buying franz ferdinand and the bravery

Grade 9- I was that kid who thought that he was cool, because he was used to being a big fish in a small pond. Halfway through I realized I was acting like a faggot and made friends with a few people.

Grade 10- Became close friends with 8 or so people and we start a click. I start being more sociable towards people other people, became that kid that jocks hate for no good reason and everyone else likes.

Grade 11- Over the summer I got hot and less socially awkward, became friends with more people, they thought I was way smarter than I actually was. Got a girlfriend, got laid.

Grade 12- Became kind of a dick to people, got even more friends, by the time I graduated I was only close with two of my friends that were in my click originally.

>>214345
it doesn't matter, you can get drunk as often as you want now

>>2143463
there were two or three guys who were black.

>>2143513
why didn't you keep in touch?

>>2143658

holy shit a 4chan childhood reunion? :3 aw

9-moved twice, also in hawaii, you don't want to be a white person there. drove me insane how fucking stupid everyone was. got valedictorian at my school without ever studying and doing homework occasionaly.

10- moved again. shitloads of people call me by my first name, try to be friendly, I have no idea who in the hell they are. Had a school newspaper article about me from some girl I don't know, so I'm pretty notorious.

11- we'll see.

You're probably not on anymore, but what kind of fucking pussy friend tackles you when you are talking to your prospective mate?

Freshman: Social outcast. People made fun of my NJ accent. Little to no friends. Obsessed with being popular.

Sophomore: Still a fucking outcast. Suicidal.

Junior: Not an outcast. Just a reputation of being fucking crazy, quiet, and smart. Feels okay man.

Senior: Popular but rejected it. Reputation as as being crazy and a stereotypical Guido. Known to carry a flask to classes. Did not give a fuck what people thought of me anymore. Was known to call black kids niggers.

I have noticed this thread has a lot of

"lotta friends, never invited to do shit after school"

I live in richfuck Northern california, people don't do nearly as much stuff outside of school as you might think. quit hatin' on yourselves, guys. its gonna be okay.

>>2143658
>why didn't you keep in touch?
I went to college/ROTC and joined the Army; she got married pretty soon after high school, and that was the end of it.

My sweet little dogeater...

>>2143680
Doubt it...although, she was a big Sailor Moon fanatic (again, back in the pre-Manga days of weeaboo-dom), so I wouldn't be surprised if she pops up here.

>>2143595
What is it you're doing that's keeping you so damn busy? You're in art school, for fuck's sake.

I'm a regular guy.


Average grades, average number of girlfriends, lots of friends but really friends with only a tight nit group.


Reasonably good looking--not hot, but far from ugly.


A few kids thought I was a serial killer because of a few incidences were I expressed my deep interest in the murder and disection of humans.

haha this is 4chan, no one is typical

>>2143748
you're not from Northern California. No one really is. You're from the Bay Area or Sonoma County.

>>2143748
>I live in richfuck Northern california, people don't do nearly as much stuff outside of school as you might think

Don't know about richfuck california, but we did lots and lots and LOTS of drugs in our special afterschool time.

>>2143598
I'd have made fun of you to my Slipknot-listening friends, then talk to you later in private to see if Franz Ferdinand or the Bravery were any good. I'd realize they were, indeed, not good, go back to my friends and tell them you wanted me to put my penis in your butt.

In high school, I was a loner. I was the guy who wanted to sit by himself and read, or just write and study. I hated group projects and I hated it when people tried to talk to me. I love privacy and the sound of silence more than anything else.

Of course, because of this I was treated as an outsider from most of the people in school. Probably with good reason considering my lack of interest in socializing, making friends and all that other nonsense.

Since school ended, I've become a recluse. I don't go out, I don't hang out, I don't even talk to many people. I probably say less than 20 words a day.

I'm quite happy with it being this way too. I suppose in the end, I got off easy since I never wanted to be popular or have friends to bother me, so I got exactly what I wanted. It could have been worse, I could have actually wanted friends and become a real outcast, rather than the self-imposed recluse I always have been.

>>2143884
But...you're posting about being recluse...on a social website. You just divided by something or another, I forget.

>>2143838
>I'd have made fun of you to my Slipknot-listening friends, then talk to you later in private to see if Franz Ferdinand or the Bravery were any good. I'd realize they were, indeed, not good, go back to my friends and tell them you wanted me to put my penis in your butt.

I'd observe all this as an unattached third-party, ALREADY know that all bands mentioned were total shit, and later that night brick your windows for being a weaselly two-faced faggot.

>>2143894
You actually consider this socializing? This is just words on a screen to me, you're not people to me here, you're just ideas floating around.

Guy that most people knew. Got along with everyone, no one hated me. Had no social life outside of school however. Frequently would arrive at school after the weekend, someone would ask me why I wasn't at [event] (usually a party or group movie excursion, trip to the beach, etc), and I'd explain that no one told me about it. They'd resolve to invite me the next time but never would.

So like everyone else in the thread I guess. Things changed a bit by my senior year, if only by accident. Skipped classes to go out to lunch and sech.

>>2143838
YEAH BRO I AM. ITS HELLA TUBULAR KILLER BROHAN. BROFIST.


also, san jose-santa cruz area.
ffs, i thought moving here would get rid of my depression somehow.

>>2143896
>I'd observe all this as an unattached third-party, ALREADY know that all bands mentioned were total shit, and later that night brick your windows for being a weaselly two-faced faggot.

...and then I'd probably just wake up the next morning and ask the pensioner next door if she saw anyone breaking my windows, and she will have seen you because she's a raving, toothless meth addict and categorizes every single noise in the neighborhood, but she likes me because I introduced her to her new dealer. I'll then get some shifty Mexicans to throw you into a truck, beat you senseless, and leave you in the town next door with no clothes, all for taking high school too seriously.

>>2140172
This was me. Went to some lan parties though. I could be as friendly as I wanted to be, and no friends were made.

Social lives are so easy in college. I just sit, listen and encourage, and they love me.

>>2143908
Meh, fair enough, I was just looking for an excuse there to be contrarian. I just constitutionally cannot comprehend your kind; no hard feelings.

>>2143777
>What is it you're doing that's keeping you so damn busy? You're in art school, for fuck's sake.
trying to get into car design at one of the most competitive programs in the country/world, and I still have to improve a lot to even have a shot at it.

I am currently a senior in high school. Lost my virginity when I was a freshman. Have tons of friends, and everyone comes to me with their questions. I am different and some people don't respect it, but the same goes with any human being on the planet.

Bah.

>>2140506
You spelled principal wrong, and stop stroking your ego by making yourself seem more deserving of appreciation than you supposedly get

>>2140144
When I was in elementary school, NO kids would want to be my friends, everyone made fun of me. I was known school-wide for being a punching bag of the bullies. In middle school, not much changed except they didn't beat me up anymore, in high school I turned into a goth fucktard and everyone just started ignoring me. Now I'm 21 and have no friends and no future in life. Not much has changed has it?

>>2143939
>all for taking high school too seriously.
Oh, well howww fucking clever of you. Is that the spineless faggot-way of taking the high road? And tell me, how exactly would you get them to do this - by sucking their cocks and pretending to like their music too?

I got suspended from school when I was a freshman for punching a faggot for rickrolling the school on the announcements and yelling THE GAME.

GOD DAMN HE IS SO FUNNY I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE HIM
also, /b/tards at school saying memes irl, and getting MAD PROPS for being funny. It hurts me to see people with no originality or humor saying stupid shit.


brb killing self.

I suffered from crippling depression throughout high school, and yet I wore a funny-guy doesn't-care-about-anyone mask and got really well liked because of it.

Then I would go home and spend hours in the woods, alone and contemplative. Much metalfaggotry ensued.

I wrote a lot.

Grade 7-8: Resented everything about high school. The only kid from my primary school not to be sent to a private school because my English teacher mother is opposed to the private system. Intensely insular.

Grade 9: Actually started to put genuine effort into the 'friends' I had made.

Grade 10: Fully fledged member of the 'intelligent popular' group. Became pretty well known amongst students and teachers as a cynical asshole which allowed me to get away with saying just about anything.

Grade 11-12: Clashed with many of my friends. Started partying with 'rebellious' kids from a different district. Graduated with honors and voted 'funniest' in the grade but only with two really close school friends left.

In high school I ran around with a big group of filthy hippie skateboarding punks and did way too many drugs and crazy shit like taking over abandoned houses, even though my parents made a decent amount of money. Somehow at the same time I made awesome grades and ended up as salutatorian, so I guess that puts me in the smart category too. I'm a girl, but I didn't know any other girls back then. Still not very comfortable talking to them.

I think somebody should make a TV show of my teen years

When I was in Elementary School I was arguably the most popular kid at my school, yet in Highschool I didn't have any girlfriends. I was friends with most people, yet not "Hey let's go do something" kind of friends.

Exactly.

In elementary school, I was essentially a loner. I can count on one hand how many real friends I had through kindergarten to the end of grade six. I never really got beaten up, but I got made fun of a whole lot. I was androgyny incarnate, the little fag I was.

In sixth grade, first year of middle school, I had little to no social contact the entire year. The only friend I had outside of school ignored me, and in school I avoided most everyone. I switched schools for seventh grade, and made lots of friends, lost most of them by the end of the year for threatening to stab them. Gained more friends by the beginning of eighth grade. Ninth grade, I got kicked out of school for threatening to burn it down on my fucking Gaia Online journal.

In high school, I became a real bully. I fucking tormented everyone, always with the threats and the name-calling. I'm only 5'4", and most kids were scared of me. I prided myself on that. Super-fuckin' cool.

>>2143894

>social
>website

You sad pathetic faggot lol.

>>2143838
Why the fuck would you defend Slipknot so vehemently? Do you still actually listen to them?

>>2144153
Your so funny oh man I can't hold my self back.

>>2144233

Your a real smart ass. Go have another drink you fucking hump. Its all your good for.

>>2140144
that was pretty much my situation OP. i got most likely to be remembered, and everybody loved me. i'm pretty extroverted. i had a lot of friends i went and hung out with, and usually got drunk during the week a lot. i was different than everyone else and some people thought i was fruity but i proved myself in fights. i don't really try with girls though, and in high school there was so much competition that i was only comfortable messing with girls from other places. i could use some work in that department. the other day i went back to visit my german teacher and they swarmed me though.

I moved a lot, from school to school, during elementary and middle school; I never fit into any groups until high school.
I hung out with nerds and rejects, but I was never picked on. I contribute that to having spontaneous nosebleeds (thanks wrestling!) and a creepy atmosphere. I also would staple my clothes to myself, I think these things kept people from bothering me, and that was fine with me.

>>2144123

I feel your pain. I'm a senior in High School, and tons of people talk about "lolcats," "the game," and "shoop da whoop," just to name a few.


Oh, and I never had any real friends. The girl I liked killed herself last month. I'm a weeaboo who conceals his powerlevel at school, and as a result, I appear to have relatively no interest in anything. Every day, I sit in the library to do my homework because I have no one to actually talk to.

ATTN EVERYONE:

You wern't popular if you class yourself as being so.

It's like hipsters, only the real ones don't call themselves one.

This thread is full of lies and BAWW.

i killed raped pillaged burned depredated dillapidated and wrote poetry to perform at cafes

Most of middle school, I was the outcast. Did stupid shit, got called fag and almost kicked out of school. I switched school after 5th grade.

In 6th grade, I was still my old self, mostly. By the end of the 6th grade, I was like by most of the people in my grade (Really small school, 200 in the whole high school). 7th grade was mostly me trying to fit in with the the "popular kids". Didn't work, almost repeated what I did in middle school. 8th grade, started to hang out the "other group" in my grade. Most of the people I hang out with are very good friends of mine. Some shit have happened in the past couple of weeks and I am now try (unpurposefully) stepping back from hanging out with them. Haven't had a GF yet, but hopeful.

Yeah right!

Freshman year I was the kid that hung around the popular kids at school but could never really claim them as his REAL friends. Seriously after school I would just leave.

Sophomore year was like this but worse. I was the depressed kid who concealed it really well, especially after one of my classmates offed himself.

Junior year I began to hang with a different crowd, picked up the bass guitar and started becoming well known among my peers. I also met the girl who would eventually become my best friend and first love. Sadly things didn't really work out romantically between the two of us and I still kind of rack my brain about how things could've turned out if the situation was different. Also smoked weed for the first time.

Senior year I was pretty well known amongst my peers in my year and a bit in the years below. I was part of a pretty well known band in my school that played a lot during school functions and such, which gave me a lot of exposure. I was also looked at as a bit of a stoner because of the crowd I hung with at the time. I still maintain close friendships with many of them as a college freshman.

My summer going into college was great though, lots of concerts, my first girlfriend, and just copious amounts of weed. However college life kind of sucks when you look beyond the weed and alcohol. Still a virginfag :/

Yes, during elementary school I was THE shit. Things sorta rode down. For fifth grade I had to move schools for a year, I didn't maintain a single relationship from that year. Then 6th grade rolled along and I was at a private catholic school, shit was bomb for me, I was on a great track things were pretty good, except I was kinda geeky/smart, things in high school chugged along, I was associated with the "cooler" kids, but the whole football team faggots weren't really cool with me until junior year, I then found out I had to change schools to the local public school which was somewhere around 5x the size of the school I was attending. Junior year, when I moved away, I suddenly became cool with everyone else, and we sorta did more drugs than everyone else, but I only saw them on weekends. Due to earlier relationships I sorta fell into friendships with the druggie group of kids at the public school I was going to, as I really longed to be part of the popular group there since It was so typical American highschool. I sat alone at lunch, and kept to myself a bit too much.

Continued in...

It was just so different. Senior year I moved back to the private school, and I didn't want 11th grade to mirror 5th, so I tried to make good friends, but I couldn't really connect with anyone there, and people wouldn't really be friends with me like they did when I was new in 6th grade, because frankly, it was a huge school, and no one really gave a fuck. I was acquainted to mostly the druggie kids there, except for these pretty hot, and cool cheerleader girls, but who were a grade younger, so things didn't exactly work out like I wanted. When I went back to the private school for senior year, it sort of left a gap, and my standards of girls had changed. The private school girls were A LOT uglier, and the public school had reputably the best looking and choice of girls in the state. We were all pretty much friends at the school and put all petty drama behind us and threw bomb parties compared to the rest of the people in our demographic at local highschools, but only "serious" drama shit left a few of the girls in the group kinda split up, but we all knew it was just whatev.

>>2140506
Same here on that >"He's pretty hot but he never talks to anyone."

that plus "for an asian guy he's pretty sexy."

I always saw that as I'm not the complete package that girls are looking for.

Long cool story bro.

My days consisted of BRO, bro, FUCK SCHOOL, LET'S PLAY FOOTBALL. FUCK BITCHES DUDE. OH I LOVE YOU KIM. BAWWWW WHY DID YOU DUMP ME I'LL NEVER HAVE ANYONE AS GOOD AS YOU.

and now I spend my days on 4chan drinking beer, partying, and doing what bros do.

Funny how so many people here seem to think they were THE SHIT in elementary school...hindsight bias for you there.
I have news for most of you. Status stays pretty much the same all through school, no matter what you do. Watch who the diva is in 5th grade and I'll bet you that it is her or someone in her group that gets prom queen. i was in the same class from 5th grade to Senior year. And while I dropped 40 pounds, became somewhat attractive, did pretty well in pretty much everything i tried, I STILL came out at the same "drifter" level where i came in.
"Drifter"-Basically, I was comfortable anywhere. Nobody hated me, most people liked me, and i hung out with a group of kids that refused to join any of the particular cliques and formed our own little undefined "other" group.

Same here in London.


God damn America, is your country really like I see on TV and hear on the internet? All this social heiarchy and giant stereotypes. People at my school were mostly regular dudes, everyone was friends. People who were singled out wanted to be singled out, but they were never considered "losers". Intelligence was celebrated, there were no "jocks" and "nerds".

This was even moreso true in University. We'd go to the Uni bar, and everyone knew everyone. There were countless uni socialites (I was one of them) who's names were pretty much known across the entire university (and in the University of London that count for about ten colleges spanning the city). And all that was required for this position was to chill out at the bars, apply for positions in the student council, etc, etc, etc.

>>2145307
Sitcoms about high school are nothing like they are in real life. It's like what you described it as being for you. Don't watch shows like that, they're shit.

>>2145234

true fucs

I was the guy everyone knew, yet I was a loner. I was one of those kids who were "slacker geniuses," meaning I had the ability to pass any single one of my classes with extremely high grades, but chose to sleep through them instead. Now I go to community college D;

Same here, except I'm done with community college and at uni now.

Hope you've learned to study by nao.

>>2145627
Top grades in my classes, people go to me for help, etc. etc....

I'm actually going back to the motherland (Poland) for medical school, since I'm a Polish citizen I get free schooling. 6 years, masters degree.

>>2145581
Exactly the same here

Except not quite a loner, I had a clique.

And I didn't go to community college in the end.

>>2145676
That's not quite...EXACTLY the same, now is it?

Most people hated me in Primary but in the first year of Secondary I broke some guys nose for calling me stuff and got suspended for two weeks so a lot of people started to talk to me.

Funny that.

Year3 7-8 I have one good friend, not really popular but not hated
Year4 8-9 My friend gets put in a different class, new kid joins class, new kid is my best friend, new kid makes me look better, also i am cooler because i play pokemon
Year 5 9-10
Same shit
Year 6 10-11
Become friends with an overachieving Indian boy and his mentally retarded friend. They then start hating me. I have no friends. In my year about 40 people hate me and the other 20 either don't care or feel some small pity.

Year 7 11-12
New school, have some friends now, am not cool but not bullied.
Year 8 12-13
Same shit
Year 9 13-14
Same shit but now everyone knows i play pokemon, what helped me many years back is kicking me in the balls at this stage.
Year 10 14-15
Some cunts take my shit and generally ;try and piss me off. I am to much of a pussy to stop them.
Year 11 15-16
Don't have any classes with those people i hate. Not popular but ok with it because i have some decent friends. I have little social life
Year 12 16-17
Same shit
Year 13 17-18
I still play the goddam Pokemon
