Your popularity?!?

[jimbobhickville]

I was a bit of a peculiarity in high school because I sort-of fit in in so many crowds, but didn't really fit in them either. I was into metal, so I could hang with the "stoners", I was a computer nerd and liked video games so the "geek" circle was open to me also, I was on the wrestling team so the "jock" circle accepted me, and I was religious at the time so the "church" circle was there, too. I dunno, I had a few really close friends, a lot of acquaintances (that isn't spelled right, is it?) and few, if any, enemies. I don't really think I was popular, per se, but I had diverse enough interests to afford me acceptance in most circles (though I NEVER fit in with the hicks, haha).

I'm kind of the same way jimbob. I have pieces of every stereo type in me. I'm booksmart and like videogames (geek), but I'm athletic (jock), and I dress kind of preppy but not really (if you saw me you'd never think I listened to metal).

Dado if you weren't popular in your school I wanna see the kids who were.

I was never popular in school(until senior year- see below). Nor did I ever want to be. I always felt I would rather have a few close friends who I really trusted than just a circle or a clique of superficial idiotic assholes.
I was always an outsider until senior year whereby my wild nature(I guess), I actually kinda owned the school.

I had friends in all ends, jocks , dorks, nerds, whatever..I'd consider myself popular-but that was a few years ago...

Yah I'm in high school right now, and my popularity is constantly fluctuating. So the closest thing that fits me is probably just normal.

I have a pretty diverse group of friends and I get a long with most of them (I have some people that I know who can't stand me, though) so I could say that i'm popular, but not by much. Here's a little ironic story that I thought I could share:

A couple of years before I entered high school I was as un-popular as you could get, considered a geek by many. I was the type of kid that would give way too much credit to what people thought about him, needless to say I wanted to be really popular. Right after I entered high school I changed my personality drastically, from being the type of kid that would give a shit about what people thought about him, I changed my attitude and nowadays I don't really give a shit what other people think of me. Now that I don't care for popularity or any of that shit, I have more friends and I'm more respected among them. I couldn't care less about popularity, I only care for my real friends and not the people that want to take advantage of me because i'm ''cool''.

"I know I shunned trends, walked my own path, and cherished the few good friends I had. Does it make me a bad person? Frankly, I dont want the popularity. Popularity doesn't mean nearly as much to me as respect does.

My thoughts exactly. I put the one below normal just because i get along with people, but there are only like.... 2 people i know who i hang out with outside of class and am really "friends" with. But that's fine... wouldn't trade either of them for the world.

Wow

Great to see people like me.

Well, i would guess i`m sort of in the middle, not especially popular, but not hated either, everyone`s pretty much my friend. The last two-three years i guess it would be, i`ve changed a lot (started listening to good music, started playing good music etc.) and i`ve started to be less with my "old" friends(they`re still my friends though) and focusing more seriously on the music, the band and the guitar, hence, i`ve become less popular.I still got a lot of friends, but there is no denying that i enjoy more (much more) being with friends who has some of the same music taste as myself,like the band,and don`t fool around and take nothing seriously.
