Hey everyone! This is the place to share what kind of high school stereotype you were and discuss it with everyone else!
In high school, I was the geek that everyone picked on that started nerdy clubs. In my case, I had started the anime club and the trading card club (Played lots of Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh).
-
I'm a senior in high school right nao!
I'm not really a nerd though. I'm more mixed in with everybody. I have friends in every group. However, I do hangout with the people that play Yugioh the most. I love that game.
Some guy actually walked past us the other day and said, "Hey, it's the nerd herd." All I could think was wow did Seto Kaiba just walk past us?
-
lolz. in college, i was called the neo-kaiba because i started our card club there, too, and i had all my cards up for trade and decks in different tins and carried them all in a suitcase.
-
I don't really know which stereotype I was. I wasn't really a jock, prep, emo, goth, nerd, etc. I was just "normal", I guess. Of course, there weren't really many stereotype "cliques" in my small school...mainly just different groups of friends that you couldn't stereotype.
-
I guess I was more of a computer geek, I loved fixing computers, toying with gaming consoles and modding portables. I could have made so much money if I charged people for half of the stuff I did and I was very annoyed with the fact that I had helped the high school fix ENTIRE lab carts of laptops and I got absolutely NO credit NO scholarships for all of that work. I still do not like Central Valley High School >:(.
-
I was pretty much an outsider, but was more ignored than teased and had a few close friends that hung out all the time with me, during lunch, on the steps in the Art Hall. I was the school weirdo: a combination geek, emo, pervert, psycho, neo and girly-girl. But I had my buds, so I was good to go despite my outsider qualities. B)
-
I had like one or two friends as well, I too had that "outsider" status, but that changed easily for all of those who actually cared to speak with me. I did help out with whatever I could when I was offered the opportunity on campus which also gave me that "Medic" personality rating and more annoyingly called "Softy" by a couple of friends. I did participate in the GSA *Gay-Straight Alliance* ~In secret~, NHS *National Honor's Society*, Art Club for one year, Film Club and SkillsUSA ~By force once >.>... but at least I got a United States Senator's approval letter~.
I felt like I contributed something worth while to the school when I left. A couple of my works made it to art shows from Computer Graphics class; the "Xbox" and "Planets" photos in my art section were the ones that made the cut. In Multimedia class I helped the teacher a lot with how to use the Adobe programs and I even contributed several new methods to use Dreamweaver for the beginners at school. I was the only student to take Web Page Design II on the campus in my graduating year which gave me that "over-achiever" nickname among some peers even though I was definitely not Valedictorian just above average. At last I did aid several students in Web Page Design on their projects and hosted two websites for a period of 6 months for a catering business and the Central Valley Film Club which still exists today.
-
I'm told that I annoy a lot of people because they can't stereotype me. Personally, I'd have to agree with them. I don't fit in a specific spot. I'm 100% all original me. Nobody's really caught onto the tail though :P
-
Hummm... I'm not sure I guess gemo ((Gothic emo ^_^)) but that's to the out side world >.> <.< I have few frinds for many reasons I guess its because I'm kinda of misanthrope but its k but it gets lonely some times hexadecimal I have no fronds in school because all my fronds ho to different schools... but other times the ppl around me help me remember why I am
-
I am currently in high school. I am good with the technology so I hang around computers and stuffs. well, I use to hang around there till I started hanging by the security kiosk. The security is really nice. Anyway, I am around some peoples who act a little strange. Its hard not to have fun around them. I usually don't know what to say so I am quiet most of the time. I like looking out the windows a lot.
-
None, really. Although people seem to call me "emo" based... off my hair, which is never over my eyes, and my playing of musical instruments... Apart from that I don't see where I fit into them.
-
I got the unkempt hair, so i can be classed as 'dirty' (it's better that way anyways, no combing needed it falls into place)
I'd say i fall under nerdy kid,= (i had an argument over the story of God of War 3 today)
hangs out with freshmen
Film student who really wants to Film
'just there' kid
and hilarious comedian to some of the freshmen

so i'm guessin you're the typical stinky kid of the school, huh?
-
Nah not the stinky kid (i shower and brush teeth and all o that goodness, just not comb, hair falls naturally into place)
just the kid who's there, trying to get through the day without causing a problem for anyone.
Knowing my luck something happens.
And we got an unofficial Yugioh club at my school.
it's wierd cause some members dress up in Fedora's and pea coats, and have a table just randomly away from all the noise in the middle of the hallway
-
I've got a blue coat i like to wear when I'm dueling that looks strangely like that of mr. Joey Wheeler. My nickname at school is actually Jounochi, probably because he is my favorite character and I've modeled my deck like the one he used in the show.

BROOKLYN RAGE!!!!!
if you watched Yugioh Abridged you would know
i also relate internet puns to real life
and know a lot of historical stuff about ancient times
-
Nyeh?
I wouldn't say i fit into the yugioh group at my school though because they truely are losers (and i hate to say that) with the absolute worst sense of humor i have ever heard. I hang out with cooler yugioh group, the one with jobs and whose lives don't constantly revolve their cards.

Cool. I normally wear my Air Force cover whenever I duel nowadays, but I wore my old, white trench coat back in college when I was dueling.

wait, so are you telling me that you have a randomly assembled deck that totally depends on red-eyes and flame swordsman?

dehdehdehdeh dehdehdehdeh dehdehdehdeh... deh deh deh deh!! Looks like joey found a duel disk
-
lol so you really were neo kaiba then
-
I am in high school at the moment and I dont fit anywhere. I used to be in a hyper insane group which I did fit well in but I got into a fight with this girl and was driven out of it by her.
Now I'm just a loner. But I dont mind, now I am more like the way my fursona used to be then ever.
-
yea, i was, i even had a recipe for the blue-eyes deck, but I'm still missing 2 more copies of Kaibaman. I have a great many decks, but that will be in my other thread i'm starting after this post.

so now you're the quiet person in the background.
-
cool. And the deck ive assembled works really well actually.
-
Sure am :( and I'm teased because I'm a loner at school. I still do have friends in that group but I just dont want to go back because of that girl. She makes me feel unwelcome.
-
Shouldn't let one girl keep you away from your friends. I have the same problem with this little guy but I still hang around with my friends. ;)
-
I could also be considered the kid who listens to different music
where everyone listens to pop
I listen to techno, trance, house, etc.
where they listen to mainstream
I listen to good underground
-
Gabag's Emo!!!!
-
No i just am SLAPPIN DA BASS MON!
besides techno isn't really emo
or at least the stuff I listen to
-
:o
You like techno? Honestly, I never would have guessed. Do you listen to basshunter?
-
not so much, I've heard his music and like it, but it's not at the tops of my desire
I prefer trance like Flutlicht, Alphazone, maybe some Mass Effect Club tunes here n' there (it makes everything seem that much cooler)
-
i was the angsty kid. didnt think i needed to listen to anybody, i just wanted to work. but i was still very outgoing and would somewhat consider myself a little bit of a class clown.
-
Im still in high school and I fall under the Chavs/Hardnuts/Jocks as well as the Geeks/Nerds/Freaks/Weirdos. I fit in with all, mainly cause what i do and how I act, cause im always getting in trouble at school so smoking on the premises or mouthin-off when i feel im in the wrong, but I also know how to have a laugh and mess around, It's kinda like I have multiple personalities, But I would say Im more of a Chaek (Chav - Geek)
-
Well, I must admit I was amoung the Yu-Gi-Oh pack back in the day as well, had a bazillion cards, and still have them stored somewhere but I don't remember how to play anymore. >:( :'( >:(
I tried to play as Anzu Mazaki. (Tea.) She always seemed a strong female role model. I was more into the anime than actually dueling, and followed every episode religiously after school and on saturday mornings.
-
High school Senior. My classification was the "Don't talk to him...you might lose a limb" kid. Everyone at my school is terrified of me. Even the bullies, who still pick on me, bow out whenever I get too mad. Just last month, some new "gangsta" style kid decided to insult me and challenge me to a fight.
I don't know what he was thinking before hand but later he was defininently thinking. "Where the heck did he get the club?" I nearly caved his skull in with a broken mop handle. I was suspended but he's not trash talking anymore.
-
when i was at hight school i wasn't in a stereotype really. i was just the weird guy everyone avoided except my close friends.
not that i'm complaining, it meant the idiots and jerks left me alone most of the time.
-
Umm... Gamer/Furry/The GREAT artist/Frenchie/
Yeah, most people know that I am a furry, or have no Idea what it is. Mostly it is gamer/arteest.

LUCKY!!! I wish ppl would try me every one just leaves me alone becase I'm the kid that will just slit your throat and there all scred of me but if you look at me I'm smaller then most girls XD T.T tis no fun
-
Nobody ever challenges me to a fight. And quite frankly I don't mind lol. I'm no good at fighting unless I can find a weapon.
-
I'm insane that's all you need to know
-
well, i guess i'm the kid who, as many of oyu have, plays yugioh. still do play it at lunch. I hate the fact that the kids who steal get the better cards... i'm considered to be a nidiot, although others cannot fathom the depths of my mind. I'm mentally unstable. If people PO me enough, i get back at em. I'm merciless, but very tolerant. You cross the threshold, you get: A. reported to the authorities B. the crap beaten out of you C. the crap annoyed out of you, or D. all of the other choices.
I can't stand the people who are all talk and no bite. i'm going to call them out just to prove that they are full of Human crap. They try, i prove they can't take me down.
I'm going do get myself killed, aren't i?
-
The way I get by is I just make friends with EVERYONE. I have never been bullied Physically, never gotten into a fight, or anything. I am just friends or aquaintences with everyone, and BOOM, no one bothers me. I kinda feel "Protected" you know?
-
I wouldn't know the term "protected"
I've always been antisocial, and very timid. I overcame that with some speech classes, but the military life has not helped with the making friends got long times. By the time i make friends, i gotta move. It's painful to move all the time, leaving old friends and having to make another gamble to make new ones.
-
eh, well, i guess I watch to many mobster movies. It seems the ones with all the questions and the ones who have favors owed to them always lives.
Free art in school, help with assignments, and gererally being a little social helps tons. Just a little in High school means gobs later. Good impressions are great.
-
Shiro, you do realize that you'll probably never see most of those people again after Highschool.
-
yup... that is why i am not popular! Cause all of them are acquaintances, not "friends". I am planning on an exit strategy out of here.
I am planning ahead, like the good little fox i am :P
-
i sit in my corner, listen to techno untill my ears bleed, and then leave school liek it's nothing. I avoid contact with those who are not my insanity.
I embraced the madness.
-
I dunno, I guess I was stereotyped as a looser or something. I guess you have to be noticed to fill a stereotype. I can almost promise you that close to EVERYONE I graduated with does not know who I am. Yes I went to school with them for over 12 years, and no one knows who I am. Sad really.
-
aww... but you have friends now.
-
Well I had a few friends in high school too. Heck even when they had the senior slide show I wasn't in it. Why? Because I was took vocational class (commercial art) at another school. So when they asked for senior pictures, I was never there. Then when we had the award ceremony and had the slid show showing, my parents were pissed. We wasted 3 hours sitting there, to NOT see me get anything or even acknowledged.
When people did notice me it was never good. Some popular kid trying to make me look bad or make fun of me. MAN I wish I could see them now.
So yea I guess I was an invisible outcast, one who's only purpose is to make some popular jerk look better to everyone else.
-
If it makes you feel any better, I would have been your friend if we had been in the same school at the same time. :3
-
Hehe, well in 7th grade we started out with like a group of 9 people who were friends. But by the time we were seniors it shot down to me and my best friend. Her and I still hang out and chat when we are not busy with jobs.
-
Well, at least there's that then. :)
Oh, and I know I said that I didn't really fit one stereotype, but I figure that I might as well mention that my brother (who is four years older than me so we weren't in high school at the same time) once said that he'd classify me as "punk". I don't see what's so punk about me but hey, it's not an insulting stereotype in my eyes either. ^_^
-
Seeing that my high school career is almost over, I guess I can say I was an "everyone" kind of person. Although this meant no one really bothered me, it was bittersweet. I couldn't really express myself like I wanted to and it usually left me feeling empty inside. I felt like I needed to stay in a "box" the whole time. I doubt I'll see most of my acquaintances I've met in grade once I go off to college so maybe it didn't matter either way.
-
well technically by aussie standards im in college now...soo....i was the, err....me?, idk the geekyish,"richer-then-you", making fun of everything, furry dutch kid who went from mary had a little lamb to grade 7 piano music in 2 years but weirdly also had a large amount of friends O_o....so i have my own special stereo type, THE JAD
actually ive already been classified at school as the mad scientist, or the crazy dutch kid....so its a combo of that X3
-
wow, it seems that everyone is "in the Closet"
you guys need to get out there some more! Just socialize! Listen to fun music!
One of these days, look over to your classmate or workmate and say "Hiya!"
DO something friendly for someone, and stop hiding in the corner! It won't get you anywhere!-
-
/\ it does if your mel gibson

-
I'm not shy so don't put he as that I'm just don't like talking to ppl that get on my nerves and I can't stand prejudice ppl and I'm, going to be weird weather you lie it or not and ppl get on my nerves easily and I don't like haveing to talk to ppl if Shiri you do relise that we all are different you may like makeing fronds with every one but I don't I can't stand homophobs, ppl that always hace a double stander, raicest, self abosorbed ect so why would I waste my time talking to them knowing I can't stand being around them I have my real frinds a d I don't need to put on some fake mask acting as if I actually cared so no thank you ill stay in my "corner"
-
It's not always that easy, I myself have social anxiety. It can over whelm me at times, I have gone into panic attacks. And being nice to people doesn't always work. Some people just hate you because your you. No real rhyme or reason to it, *shrugs* Everybody is just different, I'd still rather have a few close friends vs a lot of sort of friends.
-
/\ yeah, i dont get the people that just hate you cause youre "you". which is why i love aussie, veryyyy open compared to a LOOOOOOOOOOOT of places ive been too, although those people are gunna be everywhere :/
-
Yea had a room mate in college like that. 2 years of suck. Worst part was she got everyone to turn on me, all because she wasn't the center of attention all the time. I can make friends by being me, she had to be a big you know what to get people to like her. So it was like after my 4 years of high school, I got to deal with it for 2 more years.
-
hey, sain
what if you get a boss that is like that? My dad is always telling me to be nice to everyone, because the sooner you get used to people, the sooner you are accepted everywhere.
Scenario:
You go into work one day, you hate your job, but it is ok because you need the dough. Your current boss gets a promotion, and guess who is the new boss... some random dude who is everything you hate. He hates you, you hate him, but there is nothing you can do about it. You can't quit just because of a boss, you wouldn't be able to get a job anywhere else. You just give him no reason to fire you. Finish your work, get to a point where you can complain, and try to find an angle on your boss.
It helps a world picture too.
-
Well at least she did you a favor and showed you who your frinds where
And shiro,
High school is different then a real world job I'm not going to say what I think most of the time and I'm not going to ware a tail and all of that I know how to act to get something I need or want to different things
-
exactly
it is still nice to practice though
-
no need to be nice to EVERYONE, sometimes that takes to much out of YOURSELF which isnt always a good thing
OOH a combination of my stereotype would be the mad dutch scientist crazy kid .....or simply put: Weird :3
-
Well I already have that skill down but if your totally dead to people skill then I wouldn't recommended you go talk to all theses to face ppl mabey go to something of your interest like a poetry reading or what ever a meet some ppl there being in total exclusion isn't healthy but its better then living a lie and I would just say go do something of your interest like I stated or mabey start on the internet less issues mabey that's why I'm the only one deffending it XD either you do t care or you don't know how to voice it
-
Why must we feel to always "fit" in a place of society? Why do we accept labels that are giving to us? Its a curse. Even the children act upon it, who should not know any better. One day you have five or six friends and then you go and perice your ears or tattoo you're face, maybe dye your hair and then . . . your treated diffrently. Certain people are drawn away from you and certain people a drawn to you. Why must we have that feeling to be the same? The lust for identically?
-
Please stay on topic people.
This is here to discuss what your stereotype was/is, not to complain about others because they don't/didn't act the way you think they should/should have.
-
I didn't really fit into a 'type', I wasn't cool enough be one of the cool kids by a long shot, my school didn't have a lot of straightforward castes, I was just in a small circle of friends in our own small group.
-
I guess I'd be an emo. I have only a few close friends at school. Everyone else there just irritates me to no end. I wear black/hoodies all the time. And my hair always seems to fall over my eyes.
