Where are/were you in your high school social class.

My high school didn't have as many clicks as I see in high schools today. Every group had it's links into other groups(damn whores), but as far as I was on the food chain, I usually hung out with with popular kids. But I took turns on the weekends surveying between the party bashes the popular kids threw/or I threw, or hanging out with some guys from my church or something. I was just curious to see where the people who are die-hard Halo/ internet users ranked in their school. P.S. If anyone remembers, I said a couple weeks ago I was going to propose, and I did. She said yes. :)

  • I'm on the football team, so I'm guessing I'm in the low popular class.

  • The tall ex-stoner who's funny as hell and you can talk to about anything. I give the best advice but I'm still single. I'm very well-known and I have multiple groups I hang out with. I have a few haters. Very outgoing, I'm also known to be a good match-maker. Haha. [Edited on 09.24.2012 4:24 AM PDT]

  • Everyone who knew me, said I was one of the most hilarious characters they've met. Everyone knew me, and just because I could hold conversation with everyone, and keep my mouth shut when I was supposed to, everyone seemed to have some sort of... unearned respect for me. Walking around, it'd be hard to go through 10 minutes without someone nodding at me, or stopping me to talk to me. TL:DR Unearned popularity.

  • I was good friends with the popular kids, but I hung out with whoever I knew well enough and was generally liked by people. I made a couple enemies but it doesn't really matter because they were the ones who dropped out.

  • we were a bunch of weirdo kids who wouldn't fit into any of the pre-defined cliques (chavs, so-called jocks, emos, druggies, popular druggies, the top-tier popular kids who went to all the parties and did all the drugs but managed to keep their -blam!- together in school as well.)

  • I used to be disliked and picked on early in High School, and seen to be a bit odd. Then the next year I decided to change that, slowly making friends and being seen to be less and weird and more nice. Now I'm seen to well liked by pretty much most of the grade and I get along with most of them too. But in popularity, I'm just under the average or on it, I socialize with my more popular friends but not alot, go to the parties and even small talk with the popular people. My closest friend is not that popular nor known very well [Edited on 09.24.2012 2:51 AM PDT]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JHOX OT: I hang out with the above average kids in popularity. None of us are on the top tier, but for the most part we're respected individuals. [/quote] This was me, though at my school there wasn't a clear line of social classes; There were well known people, less well known people, and then some nerds, although bullying didn't really happen in our year (as far as I know), so being less well known just meant you weren't invited to parties. I didn't care though, I'm not the partying type.

  • Guys, the word is 'cliques', not 'clicks'. They're two different words.

  • I don't know how it is in America, but in New Zealand there aren't generally social ladders where people are excluded from one social group to another. But I was on good terms with everybody.

  • 1. It's spelt cliques. 2. I'm a nerd, but I still hang around people who don't play videogames (and some are huge ass stoners) both on the weekend and in school, but I do interact with my gamer friends (who are also part of this crowd) a lot more.

  • Find the concept of clicks a little weird, to be honest. I go to school in the UK, and there are groups people move in but you can't really define them by any archetype. Being sporty doesn't mean you'll be popular, being a geek doesn't mean you'll be unpopular and so on so forth. I just hang out with a bunch of varied guys and girls.

  • There's 15 guys in my year compared to the 80 girls. Speaks for itself doesn't it?

  • I played Quarterback for my High School so I was kind of automatically throw'n into the popular kids section. Before my QB days (Before high school) however I was always the kid who hung out and was friends with basically everyone. I didn't really follow that social class system.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Psychotic Undead [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] bergXX09 Well at least the Flood is making me feel unique and different than many of them.[/quote]Hm, how so?[/quote] Well it seems us middle-of-the-roaders are the minority here compared to the crazy weird kids at school who play Magic or Yu-Gi-Oh during lunch and debate politics loudly. That or that kid who doesn't really have friends, clearly has knowledge of and visits 4chan, and "assassinates" people by sliding his pencil on their neck. My group plays recreational sports together (football together, we also make an indoor soccer team), some play for the school on varsity (I would play soccer but it is impossible to get on the team), we play some video games but it doesn't define our lives and we have grown very far apart from them, and we aren't considered socially awkward or anything. Of course, not trying to belittle anyone here. I understand how that is how some people are and we all have our own personalities and interests. Unfortunately our society likes to have norms set and people are considered lower if they are weird or different. Edit: Nvm I'm not even that different, half of the people here seem relatable in some cases. [Edited on 09.23.2012 10:49 PM PDT]

  • Well, just to inform you: Click = onomatopoeia Clique = group of similar individuals. Thought you ought to know. As for my OWN clique, I was in the misfits/nerd group. We were the smartest at school, we were the most diverse in background, and we were the strangest. Every day was a strange adventure. However, popular was one thing which we were not. Not that it bothered us, of course. We didn't want to be. We enjoyed having fun rather than being in high social standing.
