    Freshman year- Goodie girls with good grades and respectable families.

    Sophmore year- Same group expanding in to the 'outsider' kids as well.

    Junior year- Leaving behind some of the goodie girls and spending more time with the outsiders and the stoners

    Senior year- Stoners and guys in bands.

    I was and always will be a huge nerd, haha. I have a few friends from high school whom I still hang out with now. My newer friends are similar, actually...

    Never had one, I was friends with people from almost every group. I have always just been open and just had a good time while focusing on my studies. I am the same way today, just did a little more bonfires and partying back then when I should have been focusing more on myself lol.

    I wasn't in any clique. Too smart for some, not stoner enough for THAT, and of course being fat, short and bespectacled (plus having a temper and a backbone) - no one really liked me. I'd like to think I'm not the same. Ask that jerkwad Scott Brown - yeah, the Senator - I went to school with him, he picked on me along with everyone else - would he hang around with me then? NO. Would he hang around with me now? NO.
    Even in the workplace, it's the same - these women don't respect me, tell me "Don't bang your phone" when I'm frustrated, tell the phleb to 'give that to HER', leave work on my desk that THEY want me to do - I'm sick of it. WHY am I still treated like a peon? :grumble:

    An "Individualist". We all gathered together (the 5 of us) and ate lunch with each other because we didn't fit in anywhere. We weren't nerds, jocks, academics or school spirit types. We just....were.

    And yes I'm still in the same boat.

    I was a loner in HS..I went to a school where the kids were mostly Indian and into soul music, fancy cars,networking,making money,materialism and partying, whereas I was the only Indian who was into punk music and outdoor activity and never felt the need to strive for more financially than I truly need...and the only Indian kid who had 'white' friends.

    I'm still pretty much the same, except my love for the outdoors has become even deeper and fonder, and although I make a decent living, money has never been important to me.

    and yep..I'm still very much a loner..my friends are spread across the world, yet we are still very close.

    Suicide-Mission-Rejects. We named ourselves. A mix of nerds, geeks, stoners and goths. We got made fun of, but we were happy and didn't give a crap about the shallow preppy/jock cliques.

    Nowadays we are the cool/awesome people. Funny how that works out.

    My school wasn't very big, so there weren't all kinds of cliques to "fit in" to. You were either popular or unpopular. I was unpopular and at that time in my life I was obssessed with being liked. The more I wanted to be liked and accepted, the more I was rejected. I had a few good friends, though, and I still consider them friends to this day.

    I have to add a little something in here, though...I've always been told to go to my class reunion, that it would be great. I missed my 10 year and regretted it, but after having talked with some of the people I went to high school with over theyears, I'm not too sure I WANT to go to my 20 year. In my case, I think a lot of the people I went to high school with are still stuck in that clique-ish mentality, unfortunately:(

    My friends and I were all considered "goat ropers" or "rednecks" depending on who was talking about us. I am still friends with all of them that have stuck around our small town. I still tend to lean towards the "cowboy" type.

    I laughed when I saw this, and assumed it was started by like a 22 year old or something :-P

    Total outcast.

    Yup, still the same. No friends (except on the Internet).

    But I do have husband and family who love me how I am, so that's something.

    Oh, jeez. I am a little reluctant to admit this. The kids I hung out with in high school were called "The Dirts" by the jocks, cheerleaders, and rednecks. We were the punk kids, goths, skaters, ravers, etc... We were in the parking lot getting busted for smoking. We went to a lot of concerts and had bonfires on the beach. But I was also a bookworm who spent a lot of time reading.

    I dyed my hair purple, blue, pink, and green. I wore lots of interesting outfits. It's funny, I thought I didn't fit in with the "normal" kids in school, but I found my old yearbooks recently and people from all different groups had signed it.

    Today my style has definitely toned down but I still err on the side of quirky when I get dressed in the morning. I still love to go to shows. I'm still a bookworm.

    i was pretty much friends with everyone but i think it was on account of me being equal parts awesome and scary..... i had a shaved head and tattoos and listened to a lot of punk and hardcore music.

    i think the only thing different now is that my hair is longer lol

    emo-ish kids ( emo wasn't big n my school) and the kids who were "too cool" to participate in anything. eating disorders/suicide were common. And artsy people. NO I'm definately not the same..

    I was on my own - bullied and whatnot, because being a geek/nerd back then was a reason for getting beaten up and shunned. But it made me stronger, and I'm definitely NOT the same. :)

    Pretty much this, though without the husband.

    o god

    I was the yearbook editor
    the sports photographer for yearbook and the newspaper and photo editor
    i was a cheerleader for awhile, then dance team before I fell in love with yearbook.
    I was National Honor Society, Beta, Arts Academy and Rally.
    I was the girl that hung out with all the groups of people and didnt realize there were cliques. I did sit with the cheerleaders/dancers and football/soccer/baseball players for lunch, but in my defense, I was used to being around them most often and started my highschool career as friends with them as 11-12 year olds - so it wasnt that I was popular, I was just - sticking with my friends LOL

    I loved everyone and I was the geek everyone loved back.

    I didn't fit into a clique, you'd think being a jack of all trades would put you in with everyone but it just makes you feel like you don't fit in anywhere. Used to be self conscious about it because in HS people judge you for not "fitting in"... now all I ever hear are compliments for being so varied in the things I am passionate about and goals I have.

    Band geek (marching, symphonic, jazz)
    Science Olympiad
    National Honor Society
    Senior Class Officer
    Varsity volleyball player
    Non-drinker
    Subtly religious
    Math nerd
    Prom queen

    ...

    Where's the clique for that?

    I didn't fit in anywhere. I was in the Science Club and Choir, I was on Cheer Squad and Swim Team, I was in Drama and band, NJHS, honors classes. I partied with the jocks and the stoners and went to raves and sit-ins and had study sleep-overs. I was a dancer and theater junkie. ... I was a jock, nerd, hippie, artsy girl who basically got along with evryone.

    Still am. Not much has changed according to my friends and family.

    I didn't really fit into a "clique".. wasn't "cool" enough to hang out with the insanely popular kids, but didn't fall in with the nerds either. My friends and I were just kind of there!
    I was the biggest female jock, though.. I played sports all year round, and always took the guys on in PE on the basketball court.

    Oh yeah.. and I'm pretty much the exact same today!

    I was in the stoners/headbangers/trouble makers group. I used to hang in the smokers area, pick up a group of "friends" and skip class until school let out. Now, 26 years later, I am a tee- total er. I pretty much follow rules, and get pissy with those that don't. lol So, No, Not the same at all.

    I always hung out more so with the 'metal heads' and stoners of my school. Most of my friends were either in guitar club or just really liked skipping school and smoking and whatnot.

    That being said, nearly all of them did graduate highschool so we weren't too rebellious or anything. More like intelligent rebels.. I took my 12th grade classes over the summer so during my senior year I had ALL electives and didn't have to really bother attending much unless I felt like it. People I hung out with used to 'tree' the freshmen, bring liquor to school, etc. All sorts of stupid stuff.

    I do still attend a lot of metal shows, though I don't befriend many people at all nowadays. Mostly stick to myself so I don't hang out with any particular clique.
