What were you known for in high school?

I was known for making people laugh. I was also known as the smart kid who never applied himself. Teachers pleaded with me to take it seriously, and I wish I had. I'm also known as the guy who was flashed by a teacher. She did that to another student, and he turned her in. She lost her job. She was a new teacher, and I actually thought she was another student. She was very young. The local news showed up to cover the story.
I was nice to peeps and they teased me

@TryingtoLava I'm sorry. I liked hanging out with the less popular students. They're great if you give them a chance.

I was known as the teachers pet and my skills for soccer. I was also a loner ( hasn't changed much). I was bullied and taunted for being different ( weird) till I had enough and got the courage to stand up to the bully and beat the hell out of her and her friends too. I literally planed the fight. from that moment no-one f- with me again. I didn't get popular I just became the villain 🙄...Didn't care much.

@Orlbe I was bullied for many years. One day I made a fist and planted it right on the bully's face. They left me alone after that.

Nothing really. I was doing a online homeschool program through the local school district, and I didn’t get to do sports until my senior year (Parents wouldn’t let me because of my grades). So barely anyone knew me. Since the program was through the district, I was able to graduate and walk with the kids at the high school. The only sucky part about it was before we walked, everyone was taking pictures with their friends and everything, but I’m just standing there and wandering around.

@Djac17 You should go to the anniversary thing when it comes around. Get in there and meet some folks.

@ChildOfTheWasteland I knew who a bunch of them were, I went to public school through 6th grade, started homeschool in 7th. Still was awkward with me Just standing there alone, when everyone else had been through Jr High and high school together.

@Djac17 I was usually the guy by himself at any event. I've never had friends, and I still don't. I don't approach people to make conversation, and they don't approach me. I know it sucks.

Most likely to write a novela.

I was introverted not overly talkative. I was bullied often my overall image was just not there. I carried so much in my backpack and not going to lie I was overweight. Teachers liked me/students saw me as the goodygood.

I wasn't known by many until they needed of my nerdy over achiever self for something.

Sigh- I'm glad that chapter ended.
Kids can be cruel and since then so much has changed mentally, emotionally and physically.

@ChildOfTheWasteland Not going to lie- Odds are not many have seen me since then. I'm glad you are in a better place now as well.
Teens can be cruel. Fortunately, everyone has to grow up
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and wiser for it (though it hurts)

@iQuit Thank you! I'm actually in a worse place in other ways, but at least the bullying is over. I now have a son, and I worry about him getting bullied.

@ChildOfTheWasteland I've heard teaching your kids to be comedians can help them out. [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTOKHv4wFFQ]
Kids will be kids
hopefully though your son will be ok. 🙂

@ChildOfTheWasteland did that event affect you negatively in any way?
ChildOfTheWasteland · 31-35, M
@SW-User Not negatively, but it definitely affected me. I was a teenage boy, so yeah...

@Johnblackthorn I often left school to go get food, then bring it back to my classmates.

The cool gang.
I was a music nerd. Anytime anyone needed a pianist, dance classes or the drama department, Glee Club or vocalists, I was called.
ChildOfTheWasteland · 31-35, M
@bijouxbroussard That's awesome! Were you in the band?
@ChildOfTheWasteland When they needed a pianist, yes. I was in the orchestra, because I also played the violin.
ChildOfTheWasteland · 31-35, M
@bijouxbroussard I love the sound of a violin. As a band member, I was wondering if you played during sporting events, such as football.
