What "clique" did you belong to in high school?

[Sara]

You know, band people, stoners, jocks, cheerleaders, etc.

I can honestly say I was clique-less.  I had friends in all groups, but mainly hung out with 1 or 2 other clique-less people. 

[Bajanne]

I went to a very prestigious school in Barbados - Queen's College.  It is nearly 200 years old, which means that when it started, the only students were the daughters of the planter class.  Slavery was abolished in 1834, and then it was only in the early 1900s that some black people were allowed in the school.  Two of my sisters went there in the late 40s, early 50s and I went in 1959.
By the time I was there, the school was half-white, half-black.  There were no overt racial problems, but of course, people generally stuck with their colour.  But generally, it was not a cliquish school, as we didn't have 'jocks' or 'cheerleaders', but I suppose there always was a kind of 'in' group.   What I found was that, during school, people generally did not show big preferences; we all just hung out with our classmates.  But when school was over - general apartheid.   'We' didn't know how 'they' lived. and 'they' didn't know how 'we' lived.   Strangely enough it was a kind of pleasant apartheid.  It was just the way it was, and everyone accepted it.  Not to sure what it is like now, since all our schools have now been made co-ed.  I am against that by the way.  Maybe I will get on my soapbox in another thread.

In our school, the jocks were the stoner's. Never won much at soccer, but heck we put the HIGH in high school. 

[goofynina]

lmao @ joepaul,  i gotcha brother, lol,  now that's what i'm talking about, yeah!!!

[Epoman]

lmao @ joepaul,  i gotcha brother, lol,  now that's what i'm talking about, yeah!!!

I know what "Clique" goofynina was in while in high school, but I can't say because she would BAN ME! 

[Rerun]

They called us "The Group".  It was just a bunch of us that had grown up together and we really didn't welcome new people. 

When I got to college I didn't know how to make friends.  I never had to.  I had a pretty rough time.  I had to be NICE??!!   

[goofynina]

LMAO @ Epoman,  your darn skippy there pardner

[kitkatz]

I was in the "Square, good smart kid group".  Still am I guess.

[deej]

I hung out with the marching band and the choir in high school. We weren´t the "in" group but we sure had a lot of fun  .  I had lots of part-time jobs in college and no time to be in any group.

[kevno]

Whoops That group thing At school in the wrong group, I do not know if it was because I was on dialysis, I just had to go that one step too far will most of the teachers. If anyting broke, went missing there was a group of use who always got the blame Plus usually the cane too(OUCH IT HURT If it was PLUG the headmaster who caned us) College sailed though it. Managed to get 20minutes longer on the exams because of my fistula Made them well easy Even now I am in the best Snooker team in the league. We always end up winning it. That is where I have just come back from playing Snooker at two clubs. Plus a quick game of cards.

[willieandwinnie]

I belonged to the class clown group. Anyone that knows me has no trouble believing that. 

[Hawkeye]

I never belonged to any group.  I moved a lot so I never really had many friends.  Although it seemed that everyone knew who I was, but I rarely knew who they were.

[Sluff]

I was the loner and didn't get along with any group. I drank alot, guess thats why I don't drink anymore. Had enough in high school.

[angieskidney]

I didn't belong anywhere as I was sick all my childhood and teen years until I had my transplant. Then I finally made my first friends, joined a band, started drinking and smoking and skipping school and then got kicked out of my parents house and have been living on my own ever since. I went from being a shy non-friend goody-goody loner,  to a wild rebel just from the transplant (When you are sick since birth no one realizes how it is to live without that energy every healthy person takes for granted!!).

[livecam]

No clique at all.  I was interested in radio so I hung out with people that were 30 and 40 years older than me at the time.  I guess I was a geek, I guess I've always been a geed, I am a geek!

[sugapea]

I was in the "headbanger" group. Most of the boys had long hair, we all wore Metallica t-shirts, denim jackets with patches all over them, skinny black jeans. Hung out in a wooded area called "the fells" or at a rehersal studio were alot of the guys had "bands" that were gonna make it big some day. (Ya right!)  Those were the days, mid eighties.   

[jbeany]

My school was so small, there really weren't too many separate groups.  When the whole class is only 19 kids, you tend to hang out with just about everyone.  I think if I'd been in a bigger school, I'd have ended up with the rest of the overachieving geeks, though! (I was valedictorian, in year book, drama club, National Honor Society, Student Council, JV and Varsity Basketball, and I did stats for the boy's teams.  Definitely a geek!)

It's funny but thats exactly the way I would have pictured you, valedictorian! That is meant as a compliment.

You remind me of my sister. The family brain.   

[Bette]

I was a floater in high school.  I had friends in a lot of different cliques, and I would just hang out with who I liked.  I had friends who were geeks, friends who were stoners, and friends who were "cool".  I was into orchestra and drama and the science club. 

I guess I marched to my own beat.  I wasn't popular, but people know who I was.  It helped that I had a really cute older brother

[Jill D.]

I was kind of a "floater" too. I took college prep classes in high school, including "accelerated" classes. So, in those classes my friends were very smart, and/or "geeky". My favorite classes were math and art (figure that out!) I guess it just means that I use both sides of my brain. I started dating my husband when I was a sophomore and he was a senior. He was kind of a "bad boy" back then (I was always attracted to that type!) He was 18, which was the legal drinking age back then, so on the weekend we would PARTY! This was in the late 70's, so things were a lot "looser" back then! I also had my good friends, Lori H. and Lori T., who were my neighbors and friends since elementary school. They were "straight arrows", and even though they knew I partied alot, we still remained great friends...even to this day!
So, the bottom line is, I was pretty much friends with everyone...the cheerleaders, the jocks, the stoners, the geeks, the over achievers, etc. We had about 300 in our graduating class, and I can honestly say I probably knew everyone by name. I always help plan our class reunions and they are a BLAST...one big party, and everyone gets out and dances with everyone else.

[RichardMEL]

Put me down as the "geek" !!!

[glitter]

I was the flaky-didnt pay attention-wanted to go smoke up the bathrooms and skip kid...............geeze what a dumbass I was......
I tell my parents they should have beat me with a board,I still apologize for being such a jerk.

[Ohio Buckeye]

I did not go to kindergarten and started first grade when I was 5 so my 2 best friends
one that was 4 mos. younger than I and the other 6 mos. younger were in a grade
behind me.  I always regretted that.  But anyway the one that is 6 mos. younger
is still a neighbor who lives down the st. and we've been best friends and neighbors
our whole lives. we  both have 2 sons.  both have 1 grandson.  It is a 60 yr best friendship.
not too many of those.  She has helped me thru many rough times and still does.
Anyway back in high school a group of us had square dances all summer long.  was so fun.
belonged to marionettes that was marching group with the band.  I was average student.
Now days wish I would have higher aspirations.
