I'm considered a nerd, yes. But everyone in my school is slightly nerdy, so anyone who considers themselves 'cool' is rather foolish.

I'm considered a nerd, yes. But everyone in my school is slightly nerdy, so anyone who considers themselves 'cool' is rather foolish.
I hung out with just about everyone...well, not EVERYONE, but a diverse group of people, so I could never really be categorized.
Being in a small community, we didn't get much rich kids. And the rich kids we did get were usually outcast. I'm a bit slutty myself, I've been involved in one group or another at various times throughout my school life. The jocks, the nerds, the stoners. Well, maybe not those people who play Yu-Gi-Oh all day, but all the rest sure.
Honestly, things were never that polarized at my high school. People hung out with the people they spent the most time with. The swimmers were a tight knit group because they spent so much time together and the same thing goes for the cheerleaders, the bandos, the dancers, the AP students. And I gotta say that out of all the factors, wealth probably played the least role in shaping the various groups at my school.
I had a core group of six girls who are the loves of my life and we were so different that looking back we pretty much defied most of the conventional rules of high school. My best friend was the homecoming queen as well as the ASB vice president and my other best friend ditched school quite a bit and is considered the "wild one" in the group. We had the obsessive compulsive vegetarian/health nut, the "princess" who adores Lilo and Stitch and is as Californian as you can get, the incredibly intelligent and sarcastic as hell feminist and then there was me. The one who adores Tolkien and fantasy and video game and who was also a cheerleader. How's that for a contrast? We were all dancers and that's what brought us together but we were incredibly different.
We weren't the "cool" group but we were friends with the cool group, and with the nerds, the emo kids, the jocks, the fobs etc. But when people who didn't know us looked at our group I'm sure what they saw were the "asian dancers." Which is an incredibly shallow assessment. It's really easy to say that the popular kids are all spoiled and rich and that all the jocks are dumb, but that's hardly ever the case.
The cool kids were the ones who smoked behind the sports shed and said ":love::love::love::love: you" to teachers.
Oh wow, then my college has them! I hang out with them sometimes as one of my best friends is like that. Wow. But I don't think they swear at teachers, as instead they swear about them behind their backs :DQuote:

Then technically everyone else in the year seems to fall into another group that I am part of myself. Doesn't really have a title because it doesn't just consist of 'nerds' but of people who just aren't popular enough or haven't slept with enough of the filthy whores in the popular group to be in the popular group. Alot of the 'stoners' also hang with the people in this group if they're not off stoning. As it stands if you come to my school just talk to some people and if they seem like nice people then they are part of this group. If they are arseholes then they're part of the 'popular' group. I like it this way because I get to hang with lots of nice people and I never have to talk to any arseholes. It's all good.
Well the stoners at my school are well stoners. Really most of them dont really smoke anything they just say they do. And it was funny most people think the preps or cool people wont accept you and the stoners will. well for 1 and a half grades i was with the stoner group but i didnt feel right there. so in the middle of last year i went to the 'cool' table and they just let me in and started talking so really they are the people i fit in with
Strange. In my school, the 'stoners' are the popular people.
:D
I was in the part of the "dirty rockers". You know big pants, listened to rock music, smoke etc. But I still pretty much was alright with every one, I just got classified that cause of the big pants.
I hung around with a lot of groups, from the punks to the gangstas to the smart jocks to the dumb jocks to the AP kids to the student body kids to the Indian kids to the druggies to the rockers to the... man, you get the idea. One group gets really boring for me after a while, I guess. But groups definitely did exist, and it was interesting watching the interests of two different groups clash every once in a while, in class or out of it.
I would like to consider myself unaffiliated. I have qualities from many groups.
Preps
Uh...I dunno. I don't really have any similarities with them. We don't get along, because they think being intelligent is a sin.
Jocks
I talk to jocks quite a bit, mainly about their statistics and stuff because I'm a stat freak. =P
Nerds
I don't play any card games, but I play games. I don't wear "nerdy" clothes. I don't really care much about anything. I consider myself intelligent. If I were to be part of a crowd, it would be the nerdy crowd.
Cowboys
Yay! Country music w00t! I can talk with these people about country music, the greatest thing in the world.
Skaters
Have nothing in common with them. Don't really like them.
Punks
I find their way of dressing to be erratic and pointless. The whole concept of "conformist" v. non-conformist is nothing when you end up conforming to a non-conformist way of life. But they generally like games. I know a few of them, but not really all that well. There's also the dyed hair thing. Pointless to me.
I would consider me and my friends unaffiliated. But if I had to pick something, it would, of course, be nerd.
I hung out with the kids who didn't give a crap, but I felt like a loner most of the time.
At Eyeson I'm part of the Cid's Knight usergroup, but I mostly affiliate with the fantasy sports clique.
We have SO MANY groups.
Cowboys.
Nerds.
Goths.
Stoners.
Cheery cheerleaders/athletes.
Skaters.
"Punks" - (This is mostly freshman now, but basically it's just preppy cheerleaders with clothes from hot topic.)
Gang-bangers.
And the odd groups that aren't really anything, or that can mingle between several groups.
Silly high school. I love all groups! :love:
And I don't fit anywhere. I'd fit in the 'nerds', but I'm too dumb for that. I have friends from everywhere, because everyone loves me. I swear. >_>
The International league of Persons Against Daniel Towns, or something.
Towns says that in school we were the random lot.
"Lower Hierachy". Pfft. By the time you get to 7th form, you pretty much run the school, or at least think you do.
