<p>About a third of my friends were incredible nerds, another third were drug addicts, and the last third combined a bit of both.</p>
<p>My school as a whole wasn't really very cliquey, but if I had to choose one in general, it'd probably be the "nerds." I had the same honors/AP classes since jr high with pretty much the same group of people, so we spent a lot of time together, and I was on Academic Decathlon and Quiz Bowl too. But a lot of these people were also an athlete, or on ASB, so the boundaries were always really blurred. I was also in orchestra all four years, and marching band one year, so I had lots of friends in the music programs as well.</p>
<p>Band + Full IB Diploma</p>
<p>... yea.</p>
<p>Drew sounds like a cat I'd hang out with</p>
<p>in high school i started out in a *****y popular clique, but then school kind of took me over and i splintered off from all that. i'm just kind of friends with everyone now i guess, like i can always show up at parties but i'm not invited to all the elitist strictly a-list ones anymore. ehn, that's high school for you</p>
<p>My school is pretty funky, even the preps wear tie-dye and listen to Bob Marley. Anyway, my group....the semi-nerdy kids who say smart things and use "big words" all the time who aren't losers but aren't really popular either, but people generally like us. We used to be more of a solid group, but we kind splintered. Some of us really like to play video games and read sci fi and listen to techno (I'm not one of them! lol). And we don't really drink or smoke because either 1. it doesn't appeal to us or 2. we tried it and didn't like it. There's some people on the fringe of our group who party, but that's it. We'd probably fit in better if we at least smoked, my school is pretty much Marijuana High School. I'm probably one of like 10 kids in the whole place who've never tried it, and those kids tend to be either the ones who are really shy and don't have a lot of friends, or the few devoted Christians here.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and a bunch of my group is composed of band geeks and people who love music and musicals. Yay! :-D</p>
<p>In season, football players + wrestlers.</p>
<p>Off season, math and science geeks.</p>
<p>I was a loner. Didn't talk much and didn't hang out with anyone, ever. But that was fine by me.</p>
<p>The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adored me. They thought I was a righteous dude.</p>

<p>They weren't used when I was in high school, either. Think of it as a tribute to classic high school humor.</p>
<p>Actually, I bonded well with theater nerds, CSF types, speech team, and guys-who-played-chess-and-Risk (sort of what we did before computer games). I was a sort of an auxiliary member of the student government gang, and had many friends among the auto shop, jock, and druggie communities, although I was none of those things myself. From watching my sons in high school, nothing has really changed.</p>
<p>I was never in a clique. I had friends in every group--which sounds good, but it was kind of hard sometimes to feel like you never really have a defined place. My best friends were in different groups so we never really hung out with all of us. The lunch table thing was fun--I floated between 3 tables all senior year.</p>
<p>My group was the "not popular" kids. Our school was pretty much divided up between the preps and non preps. Preps were the *****y "popular" kids, and most of them were mean (though not all, I had a couple acquaintances/not close friends that were in the group). Then we had the Non-preps who were my friends. We were the somewhat nerdy/dorky/geeky kids who were in band or scholar's bowl or art club. I'm still friends with the same kinds of people as I was then (kinda nerdy kids who play risk and magic the gathering or are in the university marching band or chorus groups) but we're the cool kids now so it's all good. Such is the power of college.</p>
<p>I was the loner! I went to an IB school *international bacculureate school and I hated it!! Alot of them ended up going to their state schools!! Which is kinda funny because the way acted you'd think they would achieve to go to Harvard *condescending attitudes *rolls eyes</p>
<p>but if you had to classify me the nerd, but in college everything changed!! Hello parties :D</p>
<p>I was (and am) a work in progress.</p>
<p>9th grade: heavy metal/goth slackers (aka "future drop-outs of America")
10th & 11th grades: smart 'n nerdy gamers
12th grade to present: indie hipsters.</p>
<p>My friends & I go to art galleries for fun, we watch obscure indie/foreign films, and we insult people with bad hair. The scene is pretty ridiculous, though. Completely pretentious. My friends make up for it.</p>
<p>Rick Tyler- nice Ferris Bueller allusion ;)</p>
<p>9th-10th grades: Asian Overachiever/Mathlete
11th grade-12th: Angst-Ridden Asian Overachievers </p>
<p>I blend in with the crowd now. I wouldn't say I'm in a clique anymore and I just do my own thing.</p>
<p>My high school had around 7K students and another 700 or so faculty. There was no such thing as a clique. Plus it was in NYC, so that kind of stuff doesn't exist. were not dumb.</p>
