I wasn't terribly popular, but I was very well respected. I didn't realize it until I was elected Junior & Senior class President.
 
High School was a BLAST!!!!

The schooling part was always EASY for me -- so I had PLENTY of time to be involved in an EXCESSIVE amount of extracurricular activities...

I had a lot of CLOSE friends -- but I also LIKED EVERYONE!!! ..|

I have NO IDEA how I would rate on a "popularity" poll -- I guess you'd need to ask the people I went to school with... :lol:

As MUCH FUN as HS was -- COLLEGE was EVEN FUNNER!!!

:):):)
 
I was overweight, gay, a prefect, top-scorer and I volunteered in the library.

You do the math.

When I finished reading this, I actually said "wow..." out loud, because I can relate so much to that.



I did belong to a 'clique' in high school - but within that group, they all liked each other more than they liked me, and I was always forgotten and left out.

I'm usually not one for confrontation, unless it's absolutely necessary (and even then I'll try to be as respectful as I can), and I was generally nice to everyone, or found some way to relate to them if they spoke to me. So nobody really had a negative opinion of me, but they didn't like me enough to invite me out with them. Nobody really knew me, I was more of the "who? Andy? ... oh yeah, he's pretty cool" guy. Deep down, I think where ever I go, I'll always be that guy.

People had no issue speaking with me when I was around, but when out of sight, out of mind. I can't count the amount of times I would be sitting with my friends on Monday morning, listening to them reminiscing about the weekend past. Quietly pondering the notion that not once did they take a second to even think about the fact that they forgot to invite me out with them.

I wasn't really a loner, but I sure felt like one. I had people around me that would say they were my friends if asked, but I guess looking back, they never really acted like it.

I guess I'll go with 'minimally popular', then.

Yay pity party! This is the story of my life.

A few days ago a bunch of "friends" drove up to Portland to see a concert. I was supposed to go with them, but they forgot to pick me up. It wasn't until they got there, realized they had an extra ticket, and thought about who it was for that they realized that they were missing me (I tried to call/text them but nobody answered, I guess they were too busy having fun :mad:)

Eh... some days I feel better than others. I really need to get a boyfriend, maybe then I'd feel like there was someone that liked me best. :)

I do enjoy a good pity party ;)

The same thing happened to me with Schoolies (I'm not sure if you're familiar with it; when High School finishes, everyone goes on a two week bender at which ever beach location they choose). I had organised to get a lift with two of my friends. It was an hour after I was supposed to be picked up, so I decided to call them ... they were already half way there. I ended up having to call my other friend and get a last minute lift down with him and two people I didn't even know. Now that was a fun car ride ... (oh, did I mention that they didn't even apologise? Even after I brought it up when I got there).

In recent years, I did find someone that liked me best (a best friend, not a boyfriend). Just my luck though, he got into a course at NYU and just moved over to New York. Good times, good times. #-o
 
I put minimally popular. I wasn't friends with everyone, but I guess everyone knew me. It's not too surprising, since I had a small school. I was just surprised how many people knew that I was a music person o.o Yeah, I'd walk down with a viola, but never really thought people noticed. By senior year I performed solos in front of the school a few times. I didn't really care by then if people were to judge. I wasn't going to see most of them anymore by then :P
 
I voted "moderately popular."

I was the skinny kid with the tight jeans, and I was working the "Bieber" haircut, years before that kid was ever born.

I didn't belong to a "clique." I was welcomed by just about all of them; Jocks, Ropers, Nerds, Smokers/Stoners, Theatere types, Vocational.

I had friends across the board in those groups.

At my 10 year reunion I was voted "The Person who physically changed the least." :lol:

Which wasn't saying to much considering how fat and ugly "the most popular" had become during that amount of time.

Turns out that most of them knew that I was Gay, but they never made a big deal out of it, and looking back it explains why I was able to bed so many hot jocks (many of whom are married now). :p

There were some assholes though, and for some reason a few of them want to "Friend" me on Facebook.

I finally told a few of them "there's a reason why you're in my past and not my present." ..|

Over all my experience in H.S. wasn't horrible, my best-friend then is still my best-friend now, and the relationships that mattered stuck and those that didn't don't. :)
 
High school was hell for me. Had acquaintances but no one I was close friends with. I felt so insecure and was scared of my own shadow back then. There's not one person from high school that I have any contact with now nor would I go to any of the reunions. There's nothing back there for me. I have a lot of regrets about high school. It really was the worst 4 years of my life. Pure hell I tell you. Oddly enough, I dream about being back in high school pretty frequently. I guess I can never really escape.
 
For everyone who considered themselves loner......can I ask WHY??

I answered loner too.......my reason was I was a social late bloomer.

I wonder if I posted this poll in a primarily straight people (men and women) interest forum......would 34% reply that they were loner?

I wonder if gays over represent in being loners?

Until society gets over stigma and homophobia this could continue to be a serious issue.




I wasn't out in High School, so it didn't affect me at all. Though even if I had been I'm not sure that it would've been a negative thing. One of my best friends came out when we were in High School and he was one of the most popular guys in school. Everyone loved him, including the vast majority of the straight guys. And we live in redneckville.
 
I was a loner, I still am mostly. But it doesn't mean I was bullied most people defended me because I helped them with their homework.
 
>>>I don't like how being a 'loner' seems to be viewed as a bad thing either. Some people are at their best when not having to deal with others.

I'm still a bit of a loner. I love my me-time. I've grown to love myself enough that I love spending time with just me from time to time. That doesn't mean I turn down the chance to hang with others, but I do love spending time with just me and the stuff I love to do.

Everyone knew who I was. Knew my name. Barely anyone ever harassed me. I've had very few friends and I usually kept to myself.

I, however, was able to walk in with any clique in the school. I can walk and sit by the Goth's if I wanted to, and they'd all be nice to me. I can do the same for the seemingly gang groups, band groups, Christain group, footballers, cheerleaders, etc. I never played sports.

My school's office took advantage of this. They said they've rarely see people whom can do this. So they always called me in out of some classes, or during my breaks, etc, to be the one to deliver news and passes.
 
i hated other people, i would always find something in them that pissed me off.

anyone i did hang out with though wor really good friends and i would have their back always

strange how my personality never got me beat up or picked on except i guess i was a scary kid. this one guy made fun of me because of my glasses and i didn't hit him but i whispered in his ear something horrible to him and he started crying.

I was a messed up person
 
I was a class clown throughout my entire high school experience so there were a lot of people who appreciated my humor but I didn't have a lot of close friends. My senior year I was voted most school spirited (due largely to my involvement in Cheer) and Homecoming King so I guess I was pretty popular (if garden variety popularity contests are any indication). I didn't feel popular at the time but looking back on it I left a great impression on people and have been told I made the experience more enjoyable by my antics and that's all that really matters.
 
I voted very popular. In my school, the kids that got the most attention were those who were really athletic or really smart. Many were both. I was just really smart, a nerd, but you got recognition for that from both students and faculty. I was also really nice; Senior year I was voted "Most Congenial." I may not have been friends with everyone, but even if no one met me personally, they knew who i was. Not tryna be cocky, just the truth.

I still am nice, and always have been, haha. But part of being nice was to help with the fact that many might not like me if they knew I was gay. I'm still not out. I only encountered bullying twice, in 8th and 9th grade (not for gay reasons). But for the most part I was very well liked.

I wonder how different it would have been if I came out in high school.
 
'Prom Tzar'.

Which essentially means boyfriend of the prom queen. It was kind of a ridiculous thing that meant that we had 2 couples as opposed to two people "crowned" that year b/c the previous years prom king & queen weren't an actual couple.

But yeah, I wasn't Mr. High School (I don't think any one person was at our school) but high school was a lot of fun. Varsity soccer, house parties, trips, etc.

We were a private school so most people had wealthy parents. Fun, carefree heydays, I was lucky.

Though I did bully this one kid for a while in middle school. Always felt bad about that. Shrug.
