No particular group, bit of an outsider really, still am...lol0

I was in the group that sat alone and did math homework during lunch, got picked on constantly for being fat, had no friends, got rejected by girls and as a result never got to go to a single high school dance including prom. I had the mindset that things would get better later in life. I am now 33 and the doing math homework part paid off because I have an engineering degree and a decent paying career, but the rest is the same... fat, no friends, stared and laughed at constantly, and yet to have a girlfriend because I am not what girls want.0

Jock.
I spent a lot of time hanging out with your kind...0 -
I was on the debate team, yearbook committee, language club. All the good nerdy stuff0

I was in the "she comes from a really poor family so I'm going to make fun of her clothes, hair, shoes, and sister until she becomes the hot chick who gets asked out by all our boyfriends when we're not looking then tells them they're pathetic losers" group.
Party of 1 until the goth kids welcomed me into their group because they thought my thrift shop threads were awesome.
Not really, but I blocked out the real story. There was trauma.0 -

The weirdo kid that draws and gets sick a lot. I didn't really have a group. It was just me, even my best friend had a group, that I didn't fit into.
But, you could lump me up with the weirdos.
In my senior year (No friends, different school) I was so absent because of medical issues, that my teachers, STILL didn't know my name by the end of the year. I was often stopped by teachers because they forgot i attended there. :I0 -

*hugs* Yeah, I came from a really poor family too, so I understand the feeling. I was also one of four white guys in the school, which prevented any girls from showing interest. Really, playing sports was the only thing that saved me from sitting alone all the time and doing schoolwork.0 -
I was one of the weirdoes/loners.
Hung out with the nerds sometimes (because of shared conceit), but I wasn't into computers, chess or studying so I was a bad fit. Later on, I also hung out the stoners sometimes (because of shared interests ), but I wasn't into the whole "lifestyle" so not a good fit there either. Got into sports at one point but never hung out with the jocks. I had a core social circle of about three equally weird guys that I actually liked.
On the subject of bullying, I was a short, fat, penniless recent immigrant attending a magnet school on scholarship, so... I took a truckload and a half of abuse ages 11-14. Then I grew up overnight (not too much, but enough), lost weight and became a decent swimmer. People pretty much just left me alone afterwards.0 -
I was a loner I guess.
I have a bit of an off-beat personality so I never really fit in with any group. Just before starting high school, I had to move so I started high school with a bunch of people I didn't know. Sadly, because I was introverted and struggling with my own self-esteem issues, I was the target of bullies. Needless to say, it wasn't the happiest time in my life, but I made it through.
I was actually really tiny in high school, but I was still bullied terribly. There was this one boy was who over six feet tall (I was only five feet) who hated me for some reason. Once, when I was on crutches, he shoved me in front of a bus as it pulled to the curb and I was almost ran over. He was a star athlete so the school did nothing.0 -
I was Jeff Spicoli from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High".0

I briged the gaps .. I traveled in all the groups, never belonging,
just a floater buwt I was unique, they all liked me .. stoners, geeks,
jocks, in crowd .. I had lots a friends.0 -
I was homeschooled. I didn't have any friends except M*A*S*H and the crew of Deep Space Nine.
Margret Houllihan got me through some tough spots during ages 16-18.
I didn't have my first date until I was 19 almost 20.
Homeschooling is the best way to tell your kid he is worthless and unfit to be around others whilst ensuring the emotional and psychological damage magnifies that for observers.0 -
Stoner/grunge, until grade 11...then more of the rock/metal type...loner?0

Was a computer geek and still am0

had a small group of close friends my age (freaks/geeks/arty types - almost all work professionally in their respective art today), but also hung out with groups in older years and other schools. was in bands. used to make my own clothes, dye my hair, etc. too high-strung to be a good stoner. repressed nerd who found classes boring; i skipped all the time, only just passed most classes, & just because i'd ace the final (luckily was good at taking tests). dropped out for a year. brought up my senior year average to a respectable enough gpa to get into all the universities i applied to (though that didn't go according to plan, either, lol). i had one pretty awful boyfriend, otherwise was too nervous to date much. have since discovered that a lot of the guys i had crushes on liked me back, ha. i don't know why everyone envies the young0

I always wanted to be the dude out of "Heathers" who killed everyone0

I was labeled many different things, but I did not fit anywhere. My natural introversion coupled with social anxiety, a growing depression, my general oddness, and my background of poverty, fused into a toxic mix that made me a favored target for bullying. The friends I managed to make, I had little in common with or bullied me as well. I ended up transferring to an online school for my senior year.0

Music, art, pets, and popularity group, My friends and I were against bullying and even helped out 4 or 5 bullied kids and all that stuff...Good days!0
-
i fit in to basically every group, me and my little group of close friends could hang out with mostly every group we knew people in all grade levels, and all group types and we hung out with who we felt like, didnt really matter0

I had a core group of friends my freshman and sophomore year then we moved and I had no friends at my new school. I met my future husband my junior year and hung with him the whole time. By the time my senior year rolled around I had no friends. I sat in the library and read during lunch so I wouldn't have to try to find someone to eat with.
Funny thing is I just ran into a girl I graduated with. She talked to me as if we'd been best friends in high school when in reality she didn't even give me the time of day back then.0 -
I was the FUGLY (fat and ugly) one with not many friends. I was extremely shy but then I discovered alcohol and how it gave me confidence and I could forget about all the nasty **** at home. Then I became the 16 year old who went to school drunk, the one who got so drunk and danced so hard at the social and arsed over in front of the associate principal but never got caught. I was the sneaky one who would wag school and stay home and get drunk. I think I wanted to fit in but didn't know how or was too shy and self conscience so became dependent on alcohol for the confidence factor.0

I was a nobody my freshman and sophomore year. I was a bullied teen who was a complete computer nerd. Sophomore year I started working for a record label and ended up learning how to DJ. My junior year I was doing all of the parties, I even did my school's prom and all of the other schools proms. Most schools would not consider hiring a 17 year old to DJ an event that over 400-500 attend and the average person spends about $600-$1000 each on everything. I also did it senior year. I became pretty popular because of DJ'n. I will never forget the fake people who treated me poorly and then tried to be my friend. Now i've moved on to bigger and better things and I am happy where I'm at.
Also I was 260 lbs graduating, then my first year of college I was near 310 lbs!!!! Year 2 of college and i'm down to 220!!! Go me!0 -
I played football and knew all the jocks, but I was a geek social-circle wise.0
-
I was well liked by everyone. No group really... I treated everyone with respect, talked to everyone and ended up the most liked in school. ::shrugs:: I wasn't poor, but I wouldn't go to school and show off what I had. I was outgoing, but not into any sports. I was in the marching band... loved being on the field. I always had a heart for those less fortunate than I was. Still am to this day.0

You and I would have become good friends. I'm so sorry you went through that.0 -

Thank you. That's a nice thought. I definitely would have benefited from having a compassionate friend.0 -
