    I was a cheerleader also (state champion!), smart, funny, and in a relationship 90% off the time. Not im almost to the weight I was in high school, but single!

    I went to a small school. It stunk. Not because I had a hard time. But because I was on the top of the world there. Made the real world more of a shock.
    Was on "winterfest" court (home coming for basketball), like by everyone except I had nothing to do w/females in my own class because I had known them for so long, so I knew plenty of underclassmen females, and the underclassmen guys weren't cool enough to talk to. LOL

    One thing I never did. Pick on anyone unless they were a friend, and picked on me back and so it was a game and not hurtful

    I envy your small school experience a little bit. My husband grew up in a small town in the Pacific NW and pretty much knew everyone in his graduating class of like... 150? My graduating class was a little closer to 800. I had my good friends and one of my best friends went to college at the school neighboring mine. It would have been a lot nicer to have been closer to people back then, considering I was pretty socially inept then and didn't like getting close to people. *sigh* The world has since changed me! College was a BLAST!!!!! I still miss it.

    Skinny nerd, shy, chess club, introvert. Military broadened my horizons and opened me out of my shell.

    I skipped class to go to the library and read books. I LOVE TO READ!
    i was and still am Anti-social in person. I am often quiet around people I dont know (and people take that as stuck up because of the way I look) I am just shy
    (Unless I get to know you)
    BUT in the past 2yrs I have been making an effort to be less shy...im working on it.

    Awkward pudgy, yet in good shape. Just.. went through puberty really really late (hell, i grew an inch from 24-25). I didn't fit in with anyone. Probably explains a lot of my awkwardness now socially. :)

    I was a goodie-two-shoes : ) I never got in trouble, made good grades, National Honor Society, drama, music, soccer and basketball. Made mommy proud. I was fairly popular since I participated in a lot of things. I definitely was hot (I'm trying to get my hot body back again. aaahhh!). I didn't have one particular group I ran around with. I had tons of friends and circulated around several groups. I've become a little less social since then now that I know there's more value in having a few true friends than a ton of acquaintances. I still love the arts and love sports maybe even more now ; ) Those were good days, but I wouldn't go back.

    I graduated in 2005 and I was in band, ran the lights in our theatre productions, went through a strange Hot Topic phase as a freshman, joined way too many clubs, and had really awkward half grown out bangs until I discovered a flat iron in 11th grade. Wow.... on paper I sound like a total nerd, but I wasn't. I don't think....?

    Oh and I also went through this highlighting phase where my hair was basically blonde. Thank god it went back to naturally red once I got over that!

    Very smart, hard to motivate, loved to write (published by age 15!), super mature, daddy issues (honestly), quiet in a creepy way, big into theater.

    I didn't make or keep friends very well. In high school my dad and mom had just split, and he was an abusive drunk. She had no money so I was a really poor kid (but he had drank up all the money before, so that wasn't different). I got made fun of a lot for my weight, fast "blossoming", and being so poor.

    Buuuuut I got married at 16 and finished up with school early. I never did get to go to prom, or ring dance, or have a proper boyfriend.

    Total goody-good, honor student, big in choir and art, not athletic at all. I weighed 40 pounds more than I do today. I tended to stay away from everyone and didn't have a ton of friends. Nobody hated me, but I didn't have a group of best friends. Totally awkward, shy, weird. I never spoke up in class, didn't participate in any extracurricular's. I think everyone thought I was weird.

    I hated high school though, and I'm so much different (for the better) today.

    I was super super shy, I didn't talk to you unless you talked to me first. I was in choir, loved music, still do. That's pretty much who I was.

    Just wanted to add how ECSTATIC I am to see how many of you were in choir!! I started my chorus dork days back in the 5th grade and kept going all the way through college. Majored in Music (vocal performance, of course!) and now I'm a certified music teacher :) NO ONE in high school would have seen that coming *har har*... Choir and music has always been my refuge, and it wasn't until college that I really started to envy those in band. They got paid well to travel with the football team!! Should have auditioned to play the damn crash cymbals like the other vocalist in my studio did, lol.

    I was the bullied kid who was at a severe risk for turning into someone who would repeat what happened at Columbine. Although I have to admit, high school wasn't as bad as middle school there.

    Mine rocked too, and I think I probably could squeeze back into it again, but only because it laced up in the back! About 5 other girls have worn my dress to prom since 2005, the last one being this year (I lend it out to cousins and cousin's girlfriends by request). I am happy I chose a style that was timeless! (edit: My hair, not so timeless lol)

    Can't really say I was one thing or another in high school. I was a cheerleader jock who did JROTC and competed in speech and debate, I did drama and took AP classes as well as played an instrument. I was in the homecoming court, Valedvictorian and had friends that were everything from grunge, geeks, preppy, jocks, cheerleaders, stoners and anything else. The whole time I just wanted to hide in the library and read instead of talk to people and do everything I did. lol

    Cheerleader, band geek (marching snare drum, keyboard percussion), valedictorian. My school was small, and being in the band was "cool" but being a cheerleader wasn't. I wasn't very popular with girls, but a little more so with guys because I had more in common with them (which made me even less popular with girls, because I dared to date above my social status). Most of my female "friends" back then were only friends with me so I'd help them with their math homework, and I only still talk to my very best girlfriend from high school.

    Party girl. Got good grades, but could have done so much better if I’d spent a lot less time chasing boys and “altering my mind”. Probably seemed like a dumb blonde in those days, which I really am not.
