How popular are/were you in school?

[Cyberius]

I'm generally a pretty popular guy, most ppl get along with me once they get to know me. A think it's kinda funny that a group of my closest friends are all Christian while i'm an athiest. I'm also a band kid, so im automatically friends with the 178 ppl in that organization . Of course there are a few groups that i share a mutual hatred for...

 

[johnman]

I have close groups of friends and im cool wiht ewverybody else. I can go pretty much anywhere in the common room and sit and chill with a few friends. Today up town i was saying hi to old and new freinds every 5 minutes.

Everyone knows im a computer nerd but they're cool with as a rarely mention it and can hold an interesting conversation.

 

[Bulletinmybrain]

I would say I am a freindless nerd. No that doesn't mean I am hated no, I would say I am well liked in my classes. I am known with quite a few girls seeing as how most of my honor classes are 70% girls. And yeah, I am that guy that people go to for help.(Mostly the answers, they could care less about theorems and explanations.)

My defining trait though is: My deep voice. Many people say the bass of my voice is more low-pitch then their dads. >.>

On multiple occasions I've had classmates ask me if I was a new student, even though I had been at the school since I was a freshman, yeah, I wouldn't really be in any particular group, not even the outcasts, I was the guy you didn't even know was there until you were grouped with him in a class project, although I guess if I had any title while in school it would be "that guy who is always reading books".

That reminds me, quite a few people here look down upon me because I read.

I just love Virginia...

I charm all the people I like at my school into being my friends and the rest of them get freaked out by the fact I sing out loud along to my ipod and according to rumour I practise tarot and can curse their souls. I of course have no idea how that got around therefore they avoid me completely so its brilliant

During my senior school years I was very unpopular. Well not so much unpopular just easily overlooked I suppose. Big turnaround at college and Uni though. Made myself lots of new friends and I'd consider myself pretty damn popular now.

They were more surprised than annoyed where I was (south carolina) one person even said I read more books in a month then they had in the past 4 years.

Lots of different schools, lots of different attitudes. First school I was popular as hell, but then again, it was a nice school, everyone liked everyone. Second school I was bullied, so, not so much. Third school I was God, literally. I introduced myself as God the first day, and it stuck. That was pretty cool, I made some of my closest friends there as well. Fourth school I was an elitist recluse, but I don't think people minded me that much, they may have considered me a bit weird, but that's okay. I wanted them to.

I wasn't terribly popular to be honest, not terribly unpopular either. I was one of those people who was reliable when they needed help with something so they'd call on me for assistance, even if not to just chat and be friendly with. I had a close group of friends though, so it didn't really bother me much.

This is what I am, although some of the cool kids don't really like me for some unknown reason.

 

[Medic Heavy]

I hang out with a guy who like death metal and is a pyromaniac (spelling?) and another guy who stuters and does homework for fun...he's really nice though.

So i'm ignored about 90% of the time when i'm talking to other people so i don't care for them to much.

 

[MARKMCMARCUS]

I'm pretty cool.

Who knows? Someone I was friends with for the first two years of school turned into a massive prick who would go "Weeeirdooooo" whenever he walked past me, even if all I was doing was reading the news.

Same case with me actually.

I honestly have no idea, I'm friends with some well known guys at my school, but I'm annoying as hell, girls like to talk to me, I have a gay friend (well, he says he's gay but we all know he's just acting it), but I'm still annoying as hell.

The main thing though, is that last year at the same school we had a talent show. Since I'm in the school Choir, I'm also known for my extremely low voice (lowest bass in the whole choir) and alot of people really wanted me to sing for the talent show.

Well, I auditioned with Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2iv_E-Fn9E] and made the spot. I went up, sang the Ring of Fire [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2iv_E-Fn9E] to everyone, and everyone absolutely loved it.

I have a video of it, but for the life of me I can't be arsed to post it on YouTube and I have no clue how to.

But, to put more emphasis on how low my voice is, people couldn't tell if I was mouthing the words (which some people did in the talent show) or if I was actually singing the song myself. Hell, some teachers in class heard it across the entire school.

Now, even a year later, it's like a crazy internet meme that's plauged the school. Some random guys whom I vaugly recognize will call out my name and say hi and mention Johnny Cash. That's pretty much my second name in school, "Johnny Cash" and sometimes "Jumplion" to my closer friends.

Hell, I use the Johnny Cash thing as bribery sometimes. A few weeks ago, the school was having a sale on something and I was handed the megaphone they were using (I'm a loud speaker) and one person said they would buy whatever they were selling if I sang the Ring of Fire. Frankly, it gets annoying, but nonetheless I sang for them and they bought one.

This year I plan on Elvis Pressly's Hound Dog [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We8P_Ww27hY] for this year's talent show.

So I'd say I'm 50/50 on the popularity scale.

I have an out of school friend who turned into a prick, but I just don't hang out with him now.

It varied from year to year...

Grade 7 (elementary) I was the new kid in school (and town), therefore outcast.
Grade 8, (highschool) everyone was the new kid, so I lost some abuse for one thing, only to become picked on because I was the youngest, while the guy picking on me resented I was two years younger than him yet in the same grade (he was failed a grade).
Grade 9, picked on instead because I wasn't popular in grade 8, and it carries over.
Grade 10 I snapped and ended up in a fight with someone who bullied me, we ended up throwing all the chairs and desks in the classroom at eachother, I injured a teacher and the bully, no more picking on me. Now I'm an outcast because I'm a psychotic. From then on in, anyone trying to pick on me got beat within an inch of their life.
Grade 11, still known as a nutcase, but I was known to insult/mock teachers in class, so now I was the popular wacko.
Grade 12, leader of my own clique (fuck I hate that term though), and one of the most respected kids in the highschool. Partially because anyone who fucked with me got shitkicked, partially because I had admin control over the school network and could set the library PCs to run LAN games at lunch while the lunch supervisors were all friends and would overlook such games, and largely because I had access to teacher files and could modify grades of friends/foes.
