Social Groups and Standings - Page 2

I was infamous, in a manner of speaking. I was a real ********, mostly because I wanted to sleep. Some people just thought I was scary. When I was in elementary; I seemed to be considered the teacher's pet because I did well.
I imagine I have a higher standing with my circle of friends these days. Not that I even care about it, really. Confidence makes a person, I suppose.

No one even pays attention to "social status anymore" tell you the truth, no one gives a damn but the popular kids...if that, no one cares, no one picks on the nerds, the only thing that bothers me is that the white kids feel as if they need to speak down to us inorder for us to comprehend, which REALLY pisses me off (you dont know how much), even though I speak slangly, it ain't all I know.

I'm a nerd and I love it. Screw being popular, I still have friends who like me for who I am, that's what matters.

Alrighty....

Elementary School: in Illinois, the kids thought I was 'weird'. First time in Florida, they thought I was 'gay'. Wisconson, they thought I was so cool, having lived in Florida. 'Course, I was a little asshat, but what's done is done. Second time in Florida I made friends with the 'nerdy, weirdo' kids.
Middle School: I was the annoying kid who'd slump and make an ass out of himself just for a few minutes of attention. When I got held back, the sixth graders looked up to me.
High School: when I got out of homeschool, I was pale, looked unhealthy, and had glue on my glasses. People thought I was creepy and would end up blowing the school up a la Columbine or something and people who once treated me like dirt, like, started hallowing the ground I walked on. This year, I'm the scary guy who carries a spoon in his coat and everyone wants to either take a picture of me, hug me, or be spooned by me.

What was the question, again? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I was popular in Elementary.. but it's overrated. In my opinion, I think just having friends that you like and can hang out with is enough.I don't feel popular, but I'm happy.

Never been popular, but always had a group of friends.

As a kid, I basically was with the kids in my neighborhood. You know, back in the good ol' days where the only social groups were boys, girls, and teachers' pets. :P To avoid taking up space, look at Tub's "Like any child would..." paragraph of his post.

Then, middle school. My friends consisted of the kids in my neighborhood and a few friends who lived farther away but who had been in many of my classes over the years. Not much to say here. I was basically a guy nobody liked. Okay, so I, just by looks, seemed like a HUGE nerd.

Today, high school, the majority of my friends are, of course, in band with me. As for when I don't have classes with them, I'm usually the quiet smartass who won't say anything unless I have reason. Then there's the classes with my friends where we give the teacher hell.

I'm generally unaccepted by all "groups", and thats the way I like it. I have mood swings, I listen to a lot of different music, and I dress differently depending on how I feel. I don't fit in anywhere, and I don't feel the need to. I don't want to be just another "punk" or "prep" or "goth" or "skater" or "nerd", and I hope I never lose that.

Recently, I seem to have been accepted into a group consisting of mainly pagans (my friend from Hastings is in their group, so that's kind of how I got in.)

How do I know this?

Well, I've been "Sharpie killed" (Yeah, don't ask) and they all keep calling me Andi, and no one else IRL has ever done that except for family.

So...yay. =D
