<p>hmmmmmmmmm....</p>
<p>I hang out with the academic people, but none of us are really competitive. I think competing over grades is asinine.</p>
<p>we have our own little group of academic people in a part of the school. theyre not nerds or geeks or ne of those stereotypes where all they talk about is grades. they're down to earth people and really fun to hang out with</p>
<p>I'm mostly friends with the academic people, although some of my friends are on various sports teams and aren't very academically inclined. </p>
<p>There's very little academic competition between us. There is still competition, though. What I like about my grade is that even though there's still competition, it's all friendly. We help each other out with math problem sets, chem labs, etc.</p>
<p>My group of friends are a mixture of the entire spectrum...although most are academically-inclined. Some are sporty, some are theatre people, and some wear black day in and day out. But we are all a pretty happy, eccentroc bunch. There is a little competition amongst us, but it's always friendly. The atmosphere is very laid back.</p>
<p>my friends are a mixture of pretty much everyone</p>
<p>NORMAL PEOPLE (..maybe a bit to the 'dumber' side of things)</p>
<p>I've never hung around competitive, acadamic people... and it's not because I didnt want to - it just happened - i like them ok, but I dont get along with them in terms of talking about things other than school work. And I dont really like talking about school work when I'm talking to people so yea.. we dont match.</p>
<p>Therfore, I'm the most acadamic person in groups that i hang around in.</p>
<p>My boyfriend is the funny one, the one who'se gonna be a comedian. He also has a 3.9. My best friend (girl), is the "quiet, innocent" one but who really isn't. My best guy friend is the ex-druggie. His girlfriend is the smart, pretty homecomming queen to be. The last guy that completes our gang is the trying-to-go straightedge and his "promiscuous" girlfriend.</p>
<p>the academic/athletic/asb people. well rounded and balanced people, and friends who i can always count on to copy homework from and who can always cont on me to let them copy my hw. i despise any academically competitive people.</p>
<p>^ exactly me :)</p>
<p>I am the only academically competetive person I know at my school (no one else wants to compete with me!). So I hang out with non-competitive academic people. :-)</p>
<p>I hang out with academic people, I guess. I don't compete with them, though. Sometimes they compete with me, which can get annoying, but it's not too bad...</p>
<p>My friend and I defined this yesterday..we're the "socially indept brilliant people". By socially inept, I mean a girl who's pretty crazyinsane over Japan and is pretty much the most eccentric person I know, my friend who is known for her mis-matched clothes, grammar nazism and bizarro taste in literature, my twin sister (who is also val) who prefers listening to Morrissey to prom night and is secretly plotting another Russian Revolution, and me, who is a 1950s fringe anachronism if there ever was one. We go around the local mall singing Fiddler on the Roof and "Tangled Up in Blue" (in our best Dylan voices) at the top of our lungs, Anna and my sister talk about the merits of communism in British slang, and collectively we have 8 tickets to Borat. </p>
<p>We're not competitive, and despite our stellar grades, we're not known as "the smart group". We all have totally different academic interests.</p>
<p>im friends with many different types of people, from the overachiving nerds to the punk/"where black all the time" people lol</p>
<p>i was actually thinking today about making a similar thread in CC!</p>
<p>pretty much "normal" people...usually people who know they aren't in competition with me or my grades...the academic people I talk to, but only because I see them in all my classes all day all year for all of highschool, but they have zero life outside of grades and studying.</p>
<p>I hang out with the academic people, some of whom are quite competitive with everybody, including their friends. I am not especially competitive and so do not like to talk about those sorts of things however if one of my friends want to copy off my paper, I'm cool with it. Most of my other friends are too but the ones who aren't like that, I'm not very close friends with them anyway. It's extremely annoying to hang around academically competitive people sometimes.</p>
<p>I'm in the top track of a magnet school, and at the end class size in this track gets whittled down to 20-30 students. Meaning most of my friends and enemies end up being drawn from this pool of competitive sharks. They're nice people, though...</p>
<p>I used to hang out with the really academic kids but as the school work got harder, their social lives dwindled to nothing....so now I hang out with the "popular kids", the nerds, and the athletes. Never been a fan of band geeks and have always been in awe of the drama queens.</p>
<p>My high school friends were a mix between academic and fun in a crazy way that has to do a lot with politics, monty python, and loads of inside jokes. I was in IB and took it in a French Immersion stream, and by the end of high school there weren't many of us left, so we were all really close. It was awesome. I was also in Band, Choir, MUN, and ran the Amnesty Club, so there was a lot of overlap with those too.</p>
<p>^ Your high school sounds really good!</p>
