Quiet and kept to myself. Other kids would only notice me either because I used to be attractive or because of my sister, who was popular.

In grade ten our homeroom teacher would do the roll call everyday. When she got to Ken Unkerskov she'd never get a "Here!" response because we later found out he was either sick or was in jail or something (I forget exactly why he was eternally absent). I was always there but no one ever remembered MY name like most of us remembered Ken Unkerskov's name.
@SW-User I think it was out of sheer ditzy-ness rather than malice, but I'm not sure (I was pretty quiet back then and never really spoke up when she did that with my folder, I'd just quietly get it out of the pile and turn it in like usual). Either way, I didn't really respect the teacher (he was a total goon and we had a disagreement at the beginning of the year in which he responded in a way that made me really question his intelligence) and I didn't know the girl at all, nor have I ever seen her again. There are definitely other things people said and did that still do bother me more than they probably should, though. I was pretty used to being either invisible or an easy target, and I preferred the former.
Small for my age ,foster kid, target for even the kids that got bullied . Had at least 6 different high schools new foster placements new schools. Expelled a few times . Never failed new school first day ,class this is kodi he is the foster child of so and so ,my fate was sealed.
I was an athelete. But i also hung out with the freaky kids. Doing all the things i shouldn't have. I got along with all the cliques, but had no really close friends in my class. I left at sixteen and obtained a ged. At seventeen i enlisted in the usaf.
I cussed way too much lol I was very social and like to joke a lot, sometimes I could be mean and I regretted that later even making apologies in my senior year but for the most part I got to know a lot of people and hung out w a small group. I made friends w some teachers and its how i graduated too. Lol i would not have met the requirements w out them. I wore all black converse had a lot of band t shirts/spaghetti tops and shorts/skinny jeans and my hair was long af and loose always sometimes a lil crown braid w the rest loose.
@SW-User well school was like my escape from home, I did join a nature club and that was my favorite! Lol i wonder what that wouldve been like🤣 I did get to know the lil robotics club because my friends brother was in it and they were ok. Never understood their jokes though. Lol

@mooncrest02 An escape is a great way to look at it. At least you made the best of it and became a better adult for it 🙂
quiet and pretty shy. I hated school and barely attended it most of the time and when i did, i ended up getting in fights (never started by me). I had a group of close friends and kept to them. Only in my last year of school did things suddenly change, started getting a lot of attention from girls and suddenly started getting on better with near everyone
lonely but fleeting. i got zoned into a high school where most of the kids had more money than my family did. I had the kids that lived near me but it wasn't that many.
I wasnt (and still am not) good at sports . It had perks though. I had access to courses that helped me college that I would not have if I didn't go to school of wealthy kids. Economics, Sociology, langauge courses. I benefit from their infrastructure enough to help me get a college degree but I was invisible for the 4 years I was there.
Quiet, sloppy, and an extremely unfriendly loner. I kept my nose in books, and reading took up most of my time. I’d disappear into my own mind to get away from the whole world.

Pretty awkward and shy. I hated school with a passion. Until I got to college, then life got a whole lot better
I was very quiet, well behaved and tried to get on with my studies. I did not really get accepted with the rest of the more adventurous boys who were sporty and often in trouble with teachers.
Rebelled against being put in the set that had to learn Latin etc. When punk came along I jumped on board only to quickly jump off as it became trendy and lost what I thought it was supposed to be about.
I hung out with some smart kids in a pretty competitive small high school. I played sports for fun and was captain of two, wrestling and golf. I continued wrestling in D1 in college but wasn’t good enough in golf to compete at that level.
School was easy. The only hard part was maturity. Until you’re much older, you don’t really realize how immature you are compared to women and how little you know about how they think.
I was a "dork", socially awkward and anxious, poorly dressed, etc. I wasn't well known throughout the school, but most of the people who did know me seemed to like me okay, with a few exceptions, of course. My grades were pretty decent, but I had burned out some time ago and had help keeping on top of homework (actually doing it and turning it in).
I went through some stuff in high school and it was rough, and I didn't really blossom until afterwards.
I liked most of my subjects and teachers. I was on the gymnastics team and represented the school in athletics. I did ballet and modern dance and sang in the school choir.
I was probably quite insufferable, come to think of it 🤔
