<p>I have band shirts but I don't wear them all the time. I also don't have long hair, so that means I can fit decently with the metalheads as well as the rest of the school. </p>
<p>I go to a local Chinese church so I usually hang out with the youth group. I'm the bassist for the band so we tend to stay pretty close. Since we're all Asian, most of us go to the same prestigious magnet school.</p>
<p>Oddly enough, the people in my classes are all ok with each other as we are all in a special program (AICE Diploma program) and so, no mocking goes on.</p>
<p>Hasn't affected me much since I realized I don't really care anymore about fitting in and just getting my studies done. :)</p>
<p>I feel like I "fit in" at my high school, although I didn't in middle school. There isn't really the "popular" group or anything but I'm proud to say I'm friends with the 'normal people', and they all get pretty decent or good grades, and I'm probably the laziest of them. We have fun. I like my school. The end. :)</p>
<p>Well I did alter the way I dress from freshman year to now. Well I mean I think my friend said you have to dress to impress or something especially for the chicks so I dress a little better now. I used to just wear a t-shirt, shorts, an running shoes everyday but now I wear polos and dress shorts a few days a week.</p>
<p>I had to meet a lot of peeps at my high school, a lot of the freshman formed their own cliques and new each other but I still had my group of best friends from middle school. I made friends with this one kid in 10th grade, ended up sitting at their table at lunch later on, and now I'm part of their little group or w/e. I know and talk to a lot of the, I guess smarter people in my school, the kids that take all AP/honors courses because I do, but I don't really hang out with any of them after school. Oh and doing cross country and track does make me get to know more people in my school. So yeah...I hope I fit in with people once I go to college...</p>
<p>I call myself a shapeshifter... I get along with nearly everyone. I'm serious. I have two close friends who I hang out with outside of school, and during school, I'll hang out with any group I feel like.</p>
<p>I have punk/goth friends (and a ton of piercings and black clothes to prove it);
party-hardy friends (I sometimes party with them);
surfer/skater friends (skate at the park with them);
jock friends(go dirtbiking with them);
smart friends (study together);
"gangster" acquaintances (i help them on tests and have dated a few of them, and we clap hands in the hallways);
and druggie friends (hang in the bathrooms with them). </p>
<p>The friends I am closest with tend to be lesbians or bisexuals. </p>
<p>The only groups I don't get along with are people who are very feminine- this includes irritating girly-girls who are all about shopping, and flamboyantly gay guys. Also preppy people. I just can't stand them.</p>
<p>Haha I used to be pretty anti-social my freshman year but I became friends with the "nerds" when we started AP classes and whatnot in 10th grade. Yeah everyone at my school is pretty chill in that if you don't mess with people they leave you alone. Yeah and our group doesn't have a lot of drama because we always gossip about drama going on in other groups (okay we do gossip about each other) and yeah anyways we also don't get drama about friends dating each other and breaking up because the group consists only of hetero girls and a few gay guys, not the flamboyant ones (eww I agree ^) but the chill ones who might pass off as straight and don't make being gay our entire life/being.</p>
<p>Fitting in? I don't, really. Actually, my school has a lot of different people but most of them are "preppy" and I'm not into the same things 99% of them are into. I have a small group of friends but I'm pretty different from all of them. I have no desire like the things everyone else likes. As for affecting my high school experience: well, I've kept the same friends I've had. It's good to be with people different from oneself. My friends and I sort of round each other out, or in the case of my best friend and I, we "complete" each other.</p>
<p>I just don't care, which has led me to "fitting in" in my own way, and adversely not fitting in at all. It just doesn't matter. As long as you shower, you're fine. ROFL.</p>
<p>I've always had a twin sister who I'm really close to, so I've never ever felt like I needed to find any other friends- something that I'm regretting right now slightly. I'm used to just hanging out in the library reading with my sister during lunch. I'm on good terms with everyone else in my school, though I'm not really friends with any of them. I guess I don't fit in (I'm a lower-middle-class semi-atheist unathletic canadian nerd going to a very rich, very small, religious, deep south sports-oriented private school), but I've never felt like I should have a problem with it. But I just made a concession to society. I got an ipod, because they're so dang cool :D . (though it's worth noting that my dad gave me the ipod as part of a deal made at the beginning of last year- 4 5's on APs=4Gb nano. So it's still a nerdy thing... :p )</p>
<p>i hang out w/the "smart" kids. that's it. why? b/c there's no frickin way for me to know anyone outside of my academic circle...they'r the ppl i see every. single. day. kinda sad. but the rest of my school is just bunch of ...u know...</p>
<p>at my school, it's us (the smarties), the koreans, and the rest.</p>
<p>but i have never felt a need to 'fit in'. we're all really cool w/one another</p>
<p>I only have a very small group of friends, and only few of them are nice to me, kind of sad. What's sadder is I introduce this asian kid to this small group of ballers and this kid tries to isolate me. It's ok, he ain't got no skills.</p>
<p>I'm not too concerned with "fitting in", as in I don't actively pursue trying to be popular or find a clique. In two years, when I finally graduate from my damned high school, I won't care about if I "fit in" or not.</p>
<p>wow...ya'll hang out w/ the smarties. even thou i'm the nerdiest person of my generation, like i hang out w/ bunch of stupid people. 80% of my friends always stay for summer school, are always at the parties or movies, and never ever get into honors...they dont even kno that aps exist. i don't like to hang out w/ smart ppl cus they try to compete w/ u. also i hate talkin about academics - which is the most popular subject among the smarties in our school - anytime outside of class...i get way too much homework each day that i'm sick of talking about em. i guess that's the most enjoyable thing from hangin out w/ bunch of stupid ppl, they make u forget all ur academic stress...even if i'm the top of my class, i seem to fit in w/ the dumb kids while i'm very unpopular w/ the smarties</p>
