    My nickname was Daria (from Beevis and Butthead). Enough said.

    We were a college prep school, so everybody was smart. I hung out with those gifted in the arts (studio, graphic, music, drama etc.)

    Jocks and party crowd. But everyone was a pothead so "click" did not exist in my high school.

    I got along with everyone but had my own group i hung out with most of the time.

    In this usage "clique" is the accurate spelling. Like I said, my nickname was Daria. :wink:

    Band geeks and the country kids.

    I read this as "bad" geeks and I was like, "oooooh...what are bad geeks?!?!?!" Do they do EVIL science experiments :heart:

    I was in the nerd crowd. Comic books, computers, video games (when they were still considered nerdy), anything in the fantasy genre, chess club, etc.

    at my high school the main crowds were the "ravers" and "metallers". And they hated each other. The problem I had was I actually liked both styles of music, and clothes, and so couldn't be classified, so I suppose you could say I was in the "I like both rave AND metal and will wear clothes from either style as I see fit and if you can't cope with that then that's your problem" clique (if you can call a group of one person a clique, which I think you can't so my answer would be "none")

    ETA: I was also unclassfiable on the scale of "boff" to "rebel" (as the terms were back then, boff = nerd/geek/intelligent) because due to undiagnosed dyslexia and ADHD I was a very bright underachiever and teachers hated me but I still was top of the year in maths (yes the entire year number 1 as per mock GCSE scores) and also near enough top in physics and biology (I didn't do chemistry, yes I'm that old I predate double award science GCSE)

    I think its spelled click.
    A "click" is a sharp, short sound like you might hear when you hit a key. "Clique" derives from the French "cliquer," which means "to click," but the French spelling "clique" carries the meaning of "exclusive group or set."

    I was the good girl with the bad kids and the bad girl with the good kids. My school was mercifully big enough that there wasn't one "cool" clique and there was pretty frequent mixing of friend groups. I liked to hang out with whoever had good parties. Still do (not the same people, clearly) ten years later - all my best friends organize the greatest social functions.

    I was a chameleon for the most part, though most of my long-time friends are from band and chorus.

    "Bad geeks" are the ones who quote Star Wars wrong.

    I went to a small, private school. My graduating class has 14 people. The whole school, from K-5 to 12, only had around 250 people. We really didn't have a lot of cliques. Not enough people!!

    I was practically invisible in high school. For one thing, it was a huge high school and I got there just in time for class and had to leave immediately after. I go to reunions and no one can figure out who the hell I am. I feel like a crasher.

    umm, French isn't allowed on MFP forums. You can read the guidelines that only English is allowed. Hence why I told OP that it is click, not clique.

    Please don't try to force your french upon us. Theres a reason America is a Super Power

    I was the shy quiet kid who would hang out in the back of the cafeteria by the exit and ate by myself. I was socially uncomfortably with large crowds of people. But whenever someone did make an effort to talk to me, I would hold a conversation, but I never seeked friends. lol, so I guess I was a "strange" loner girl.

    Funny thing is, I hear from people now, that never spoke to me in HS, that they thought I was "mute" or "didn't speak English" because I rarely spoke...meh :indifferent:

    Oh my gosh! You're so right. How could I have forgotten?! Everything that Americans say is correct and English is not in fact derived from a dozen other languages from which we continuously steal words!

    Thank you for correcting me, my red white and blue comrade!!!!!11!!

    band geek/arts... I was in band, theater, art, photography. There wasn't a stigma to being in that group, but i was never cool enough to be popular.
