Were you a cool kid in school?

Hmm, in elementary and middle school, I was kind of a loner with only a few friends. In high school, I’m a lot more popular and have a good number of people to hang out with. I wouldn’t say that I’m popular and just so happen to make good grades, though; it’s more like I’m popular because I make good grades.

I usually connect with those around me, so it differs a lot.

In Elementary school I was considered the "goofball" and people liked me and followed me. Then as I got into Middle School stuff started to change. Apparantly being the goofball started making people believe I was weird, so I cut down on the goofyness and mostly connected with those around me. I have troubles building good friendships, because a lot of them move away. I was probably a 9/10 on the cool scale.

I made best friends with this guy in 5th grade, but then during 6th grade he had to move away. Then in 6th grade I made best friends with another guy, who moved away at the beginning of 7th grade. This guy and me were almost identical twins, we looked sort of the same, had the same interests, and hung out almost everyday after school. Then in 7th grade I became friends with my next-door neighbors and a friend just down the street, and we hung out 5 days a week with each other until the end of 8th grade. I guess in 7th and 8th grade I was a 8/10 on the cool scale.

In 9th grade I became more reserved, and talked a whole lot less. My good friendship dwindled because those I hung out with weren't a whole alike me.

Now I am in 10th grade, and I associate with those in my classes a lot. A lot of the people sitting next to me in class are the ones I speak with, but it's like no one invites me to stuff. I would consider myself a 6/10 on the cool factor. I am really just the quite, nice guy that is there, and I am fine with that because it doesn't cause a lot of complications and drama. I find myself longing to be included and hanging out with friends everyday of the the week, but due to a lot more homework a lot of them can't, and I work on the weekends.

I was never popular and I really never care for it.

Yea, I am the kid who is just around.

Not popular or nerd just nuetral.

I rose in popularity when I moved from Iowa to Florida (the middle of 6th grade) because the former had much more pollen and I am severely allergic. This resulted in prolific sneezing and coughing. Nobody was my friend in elementary school.

I was also sort of a creepy kid but that's hardly the point.

I rose again coming into high school because I entered the I.B. and thus got to hang around smart peers and was presumed to be one of them. Maybe this is true.

However, I have always been (and still am) the kid who is well-known but not popular-you could say infamous-due to eccentric acts.

Yes. I've always had friends in pretty much every clique, but I never really only hung out with one group and thus had the ability to hang out and/or date whoever I wanted. Also everyone in my grade at least knew me, along with most of the grade above me.

Well aren't you just so special.

Nothing wrong with knowing how to flaunt a good ass.

look still am the kool kid lol

I also have friends in every clique, except for the chongas and goths, I guess.

And, Blackpal: Periods. They help.

Why do people think getting straight A's=being a nerd? I get straight
A's, but I rarely study and just rush through my homework. I have that thing where if I hear it once, I remember it forever pretty much. It annoys me when people will consider me a nerd for that.

Anyway, elementary school was ..meh. I don't remember a lot of it, but I know I was extremely shy but I had a good amount of friends.

Middle school was probably the worst time in my school-life. I was still really shy and didn't fit into any cliques or anything. Still, I had a good group of friends, but I rarely hung out with them.

Now, in high school (which I'm still currently in) I started to become more outgoing and talked a bit more (but I'm still kind of quiet). I have a ton of friends, all of which are as smart as me (we're all in AP classes). They are definately what I would consider the "popular" crowd in my grade (popular and extremely smart, imagine that). Everybody who knows me pretty much loves me. I get along with anybody, really. So, yeah, high school has been much better for me than my earlier years in school.

Haha. True story.

My friend and I were riding with his mom from school last week, and we saw a girl walking down the stairs of his apartment complex as we were pulling in. I commented on how hot she was. My friend agreed, and we started talking about all the things we'd do to her (we're pretty comfortable with his mom).

So after listening to us for a while his mom spits in, "She's 10."

lololol. McDonalds is doing wonders for this generation.

Your asking forum-dwellers if they're cool. This is like asking southerners (stereotypical) if they're not dumb-asses.

Even though I am still in school, I am still a badass, and the most popular at my school.

I have never been bullied, and I started getting straight "A"s in about grade 4 or 5. I have never studied.

I was never the most popular or the least popular. Recently, I've been less friendly with people, but by my own choice. I have fewer friends, but I am better friends with them.

Nah, I was a total band nerd.

I wasn't even popular among them because I hated the instrument I played. XD

Although being a band nerd at my school meant having a lot more success than being in the football team (and I mean a lot. Places that our football team could never even dream of going to. XD). So maybe we weren't all of that much outcasts.

Still had a football kid tell me that my ring from winning the contest meant nothing compared to somebody's ring from winning nationals in football. I lol'd. I don't know why he felt so compelled to say that. I was never in his face about it or anything. o_O

So yeah, personal popularity? There wasn't much. I had my friends in band and that was it. They came about in 10th grade. Before that I didn't really have a even a hint of popularity. My only friends from before then turned on me in the end of 9th grade. But never was I really popular - and I don't care to be. Being popular just means you have a ton of fake friends.

Yes. I was.

I was friends with everybody.

Well, except the druggies. They were annoying.

(Consider though that this wouldn't be difficult when you go to a rather small school.)

There really aren't any druggies at my schools. It's pretty prestigious.

My school is full of druggies. A lot of them are my best friends. They're fun and they keep an open mind. They don't try to impress people like everyone else in high school. I've yet to meet anybody more true to themselves than a pothead.
