<p>I’m somewhat known. Most people know me, however, I rarely talk to them. Some girls like me, but I don’t notice it on purpose, nor do I want relationships.</p>
<p>There are some Juniors/Seniors that know me, but most seniors however are off to college, and the juniors I knew are now Seniors. So I will have to see the new Juniors now. </p>
<p>School firsts, social life second.</p>
<p>

<p>I go to one of those top suburban high schools everyone else on CC seems to go to. I’m one of the “different” people you talk about, but I’ve never encountered serious trouble with it. Sure, you might not fit in 100% with everyone, but it’s not like they’re going to follow you around the halls insulting you or something. It seems like most people have better things to worry about than other people.</p>
<p>I’m pretty much known by everyone in my grade, but I have a lot of friends, and very few really close friends. In my school, it’s almost a competition to see how drama you can start up in a year, so I stay out of it. People get confused when I tell them that I don’t spread rumors around, or start s***, because it’s stupid and not worth it.</p>
<p>I’ve been liked by my teachers since elementary school, but I think it’s that way because I’m one of the few black kids who have actually give their teachers respect… it’s sad.</p>
<p>I don’t fit into any specific group because I don’t have any stereotype, lol. I’m smart, but don’t fit in with the “nerds” because I party, I have friends, but I don’t fit in with the “popular” crowd because I don’t drink. I play sports, but don’t fit in with the athletes because I don’t have the jock personality.</p>
<p>Good god, high school sucks.</p>
<p>I have few friends and my personality can be completely categorized.</p>
<p>I would say I’m pretty well known. I friends with pretty every guy in my grade. I am pretty diversified and get along with pretty much everyone. Some friends smoke all day, others get drunk, others hang out, do schoolwork, or a mix of everything. Pretty much eery guy knows my name.
With girls it is different. Pretty much at least 3/4 of the girls know me. I’m friends with maybe a 1/4. The quarter that don’t know me are those who think they are too hot for anyone and only want to party and get tapped. Also a good portion of the girls in my school are snobs and fake.
In general I would say I’m popular and get along with everyone.</p>
<p>I never really fit in with anyone. I have three really close friends that I hang out with the most, and everyone else is either an acquaintance or a stranger. People don’t go out of their way to talk to me, and I don’t go out of my way to talk to them. I’m pretty shy. But no one has ever treated me badly because of it.</p>
<p>In elementary school and middle school I was bullied A LOT!!! Now I would say I am friends with at least one person in every click. I’m not “popular”. I just know a lot of people or people know my name and of me but we are not friends. I’m also known because of my brother. He was a Varsity football player…lol. I get called a teacher’s pet as a joke so I guess they like me in the opinion of others. My main social circle consists of africans and one black and one white girl. I swear there people are gonna be my bridesmaids and maid of honor of love them so much. Well yeah overall it’s good.</p>
<p>If you’re generally friendly, open and nice, it’s not hard to be accepted. The student body where I go to school aren’t saintly, but they def. aren’t that cliquish and shallow at all. There’s a lot of fluidity between groups. Are you guys’ high schools completely reminiscent to those stereotypical movies or something?</p>
<p>I’m told I’m just really quiet but I’m also friendly enough so I don’t encounter too many problems. If you go around saying how much you hate people and act sour of course you’re not going to be liked. There’s a difference between being completely cynical and being a realist.</p>
<p>I attended 3 high schools through my high school career. At my first school, I generally stayed within a pretty tightly-knit circle of friends. A significant number of people in my grade knew me as “smart” and “nice”, but didn’t consider me to be “cool”. 
(Whatever, I had never wanted to conform to their definition of coolness anyway…) I’d say most of the people in my grade at least recognized my name. </p>
<p>At the second school (which was smaller), I was considered an international student because I had just come from abroad, and because of my multilingualism. People seemed to think it was exotic (my school wasn’t very diverse, even though they kept talking about how much they valued diversity). I guess they also considered me to be fairly smart, since I was approached many times for homework help/help with schoolwork-related problems. </p>
<p>At the third school (which was smaller still), I was hailed as some sort of academic goddess, probably because my achievements were more well-publicized and because the quality of the student body was significantly lower than at previous schools. Parents in the school community were trying to get their kids to emulate me. One girl in my class was especially jealous that I seemed to have “stolen the spotlight” because prior to my arrival, she had always been ranked #1 with little to no effort. It was an… interesting experience to say the least, but I didn’t appreciate being scrutinized that way all the time, and especially not praised to no end when I know there are plenty of people out there who are smarter and more talented than me. ;)</p>
<p>When I was a Sophomore last year, a group of Seniors gave me the nickname “Emperor Paul”. Everyone in my grade who has had at least one honors class knows me by name, a lot of the people who’re in A-level or below classes know me by name because I had middle school classes with them, and every single “top-achieving” upperclassman knows me via Engineering/clubs/swimming/friends of friends. I’m friends or acquainted with basically everyone in all of my classes that I’ve had in High School so far, all of my teachers think I’m the best student to ever walk through the doors at my school, same with my VPs/my principal. My County’s Board of Education’s President and Superintendent of Instruction both know me by name and are taking several suggestions of mine under consideration. The Board of Ed paid for one of my teams to go down and see the final shuttle launch from the Causeway (five miles away).</p>
<p>So, basically, known to many because of my academic exploits, acquainted with many, friends with a tenth of that, close friends with a tenth of that again. Adults in charge love me. I stay away from normal high school drama, far far away, and I don’t do much with anyone but my close friends outside of school.</p>

I have the same situation with my brother, he is seen as all scary and such with the wangsta crowd. So all the wangstas suck up to me, because they want to be on good terms with my brother x.x</p>
<p>I am nothing like him though, myself I just hang around the hipster, gamer, or this small nerdy honors crowd. Most the jocks hate me, I always irritate them in gyms because it is just funny. Like kicking the soccer ball in my own goal or other trollish stuff, the gym teachers give you an A if you just participate and wear the uniform lolol. </p>
<p>Teachers either don’t know me or like me, there is only a few that didn’t know me last year or try to know me. My history and gym teacher didn’t really ever know me. I am not a teachers pet, just do what I have to do, be nice, and get out of there lol. </p>
<p>All in all, if the jocks didn’t exist I think I would say I am treated very nice at my school.</p>
<p>@CrystalJ- I was too lazy to find an accent, so I just Americanized it.</p>
<p>I don’t blame you. The only reason I corrected you is because it’s super easy to use the accent on my iPod. :)</p>

<li><p>In terms of friends, I’m part of a HUGE brown people social circle at our school (by “brown”, I mean Indian and Middle Eastern)</p></li>
<li><p>In terms of rep, i’m known as the kid who instigates fights but backs down when someone gets in their face, so I get the term “■■■■■” tossed around quite often. A lot of people know me for my Powerlifting stint in Freshman and 1/2 of Sophomore year before my surgery (got like a 315 bench, nationally recognized). After I stopped lifting, my grades then shot up from a 3.6 to 4.4 within one semester, so some people also know me as the “*** I thought he was dumb” kid.</p></li>
<li><p>All my teachers from last year like me, mainly because of the HUGE grade increase between 1st and 2nd semester, I guess teachers like that kind of stuff. This year just started so almost all my teachers are indifferent to my existence besides my Bio and English teacher. My Eng 3 AP teacher likes me a lot because of what she heard from her friend (my Eng 2H teacher) but my AP bio teacher thinks i’m a klutz from all the dropped pencils and staplers so far.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Lol, I love how a nice chunk of CC thinks they’re “popular”. Honestly, in all of the high schools I know of around my area, that term has become pretty watered down. I do go to a relatively big school, however. </p>
<p>I stick to one group. There’s a significant difference between honors kids and regular kids, generally the more involved (and smart, obviously) students are all in honors and we all know each other. Anyways, I stick with a lot of the student council kids (its a class here) and typically talk to most of the dance team and cross country team. Best friend is top of the class, I’m in the running for president of student council (biggest in school organization), and other captains/officers. Definitely good company.</p>
<p>I have a lot of alternative friends though. I was a loner in middle school who bounced around so I still keep tabs on those friends. Makes for interesting times.</p>
<p>I’m not really popular. I have a lot of close friends, plus everyone on the Academic Decathlon teams are my friends, but I’m not really known outside of my group. Most other kids don’t realize I exist, which is kind of what I’m going for - don’t stand out. Teachers generally all like me, with maybe one exception.</p>
<p>I kind of float around in different groups but I prefer to hang out with older people, especially out of school, like some of my best friends are juniors and seniors. Most of the popular kids in my grade really don’t like me but older people who are popular tend to not hate me</p>
<p>I have friends from every “clique” I have cheerleader friends, jock friends, nerd friends, stoner friends, whore friends, gay friends, preppy friends, emo friends, band geek friends, and then my closest friends which are just freaks like me:) </p>
<p>Some people are nice to me and some pretend like I don’t exist but no one has ever been intentionally mean to me. (I think that has to due with the fact that I’m 6’2" an have a HUGE frame.) </p>
<p>I try to be nice to everyone but somedays I’m just crank haha. I get tons of dirty looks I get random people saying, “so you’re <insert name=”“>!!”</insert></p>
<p>I would never say I’m the most popular in my grade or school. </p>
<p>But for the most part people are nice to me but that’s because, like I said, I’m Nice to others and I’m always laughing:)</p>
<p>Some of my teachers like me, some hate me, some don’t even know who I am hahah</p>
<p>Im not popular, but im certainly not hated. Im just…there I guess. I have my friends I hang out, Im friends with a good amount of people.</p>
<p>my friend group is an awesome melting pot. we’ve got hipsters, athletes, musicians, artists, nerds in the purest sense of the word, complete overachievers and underachievers alike, party goers and people that would rather just hang out. It seems really unlikely that a group with so many different interests became friends but we did and we have a blast. i guess you could say most people know who we are just because we do have so many different interests and are a part of so many different extracurriculars. And among teachers it’s mixed because as i said we have some awesome students and some career class clowns. but hey, you cant please everybody.</p>
