I was the weirdo grungy goth chic, who smoked down by the canal and hung out with the heavy metal band boys and took only art and lit classes, and despised just about everyone!, LOL!

ETA (Thanks Tink) I was actually a good student, and my art teachers loved me, but I really didn't apply myself to the other subjects as much as I should have. But I did go straight onto uni (BA in design), and toned down a bit there :)

Who were you back then, (and are you still that person???....There is still a hint of my HS self here)

    Overall, I was the good girl because I had a super strict mom. I did get in trouble for drinking once and got is sooooo much trouble!!

    I was a cheerleader, but did not party with them (again strict mom). I also played soccer and was OK at it because I am a fast runner, but was not very skilled at the game. I talked all of the time in class and did not pay attention to the teachers...but the teachers put up with me because I was cute and sweet. My grades were As, Bs, and Cs. Looking back on it, if I had just applied myself a little, I could have made all As, because I NEVER studied!!

    I was voted Most Spirited my Senior Year because I am a spaz,

    Am I the same way...probably! I like everyone and I am still silly even though I am 42...you would think that I would have grown up by now. OH, and I married a man that is a university professor!! haha...so the chatty girl did get a hot teacher!! :wink:

    I was the nice girl in the "mean girl group." I was friends with everyone, but everyone hated my friends. I don't talk to those girls anymore :) lol

    I didnt really have a set clique in highschool. I played football and wrestled, but I also ejoyed playing magic the gathering and pokemon trading card game. I would sit with the kids at the goth table, joke around with my prep friends. I was all over the place lol. I was just me and I refused to be a set in clique so i became friends with all them :)

    I was a cheerleader...but I partied so hard they didn't party with me!!!

    I was a complete rebel that looked like an angel!! Oh my poor mom!!

    Hip hop junkie....and am to this day...the 90s were amazing.

    I had a zillion friends but only considered 4 girls my group. We were all so different it was scary. We are freinds forever despite the fact I DO NOT have face book.

    I never ever went to class...but I got good grades...like great grades. In all AP classes. Teachers hated to love me...but they did.

    If I had been blessed with a girl I would advise her to do things differently...hopefully teenage boys are less of a handful. Lol!!

    I was the one not in a clique....an outcast if you will. There were a lot of b*tchy girls at my school (I went to an all-girls school) and I just didn't fit in with any of the groups. Although I missed out on the social aspect of school, I don't regret anything. I still have fond thoughts of my high school. It made me work harder at school to get into a good university.

    I was the weirdo who hung out with the punks and pot heads because I went to a pretty cowboy/jock school and there were very few of us that were different.

    I was the student athlete. That just means my team mates sat around me in classes to cheat off me.

    I was deeply and completely devoted to acting. I was in all the school plays. I wore black and brooded about my craft. I was a complete and total pain in the *kitten*.

    I was the girl who didn't hang with the popular crowd, but talked to a few of them. (not friends) I knew everybody. I hung out with the druggies/music/skater people. I went to local concerts. Didn't really date people because the guys who actually liked me never had the balls to approach me....(I learned this years later) Then again, I met my boyfriend (now) my sophomore year in high school...he had graduated a year before. I've been with my boyfriend for 9 years so far. :)

    I went to an arts school. I was the goth girl that slept through first period because I was out clubbing the night before with my older friends, but still got along with everyone who treated me with respect as opposed to the jerks who'd harass me because I wore black and dyed my hair. My school life was half arts and history classes and the other half was.. well, it was Glee. I was still a chubby girl back then and really only felt like I was appreciated when I was performing.

    Am I still that girl now twenty years later? A good part of me still is and always will be. I still dress predominantly in red and black though my style's changed with the times. I still love performing. I just don't write angsty poetry anymore. ;)

    I was a bit of everything. Military school, big time nerd, skipped school alot. In our school attendance was taken once a day so basically you can skip the rest of the day. I was in the school band.

    I think the only thing I didn't do in high school was participate in the whole "gossip circle" that most kids get into. Now that I look back...I was weird as hell.

    I was the chic w/ too much eyeliner in all black, back in my day it wasn't called Goth, it was more like "vampire" or "witch" they called me.:laugh:

    I was the "badass", that was my opinion of myself anyways lol. Smoked in the bathrooms, brought liquor to school in water bottles, did drugs, got into fights, could've cared less about anything and anyone (but still managed to get honor roll lol I took pride in being an intelligent stoner). If I was half as cool as I thought I was back then I could have built myself an igloo.

    Catholic school, honor roll, grunge chick, worked in a science museum, shopped at thrift stores, listened to weird music, and was apparently that mysterious, cool chick roaming the halls and art rooms, in combat boots.

    Nerdy goth girl. I always had classic novels in my book bag, was straight edge...still am for the most part. One of very few vegetarians, president of STEP (students for environmental protection), in karate club, and yet took all male sports classes.

    I didn't fit in anywhere. I got picked on by some but I had way too many friends on the football team for anyone to be too stupid towards me. Listened to lots of metal, classical, and Celtic music.

    Volunteered at the Humane Society, a local nursing home, and the library...shelving books.

    Basically.....the goody goody that always felt the need to blend into the background or to be overlooked.

    I have not changed.
