What was your school stereotype?

[prplchknz]

Well, I got called a nerd by my (probable) class valedictorian. Most people regard me as a loser/nerd/freak, but then again it's a very small school where almost everyone is "normal." I can't wait to get to college because I can create a new niche for myself; I'm really not as much of an introvert as people think and you can get stuck in that particular categorization simply because you've always been there.

highschool sucks, college sucks. I went to a small highschool as well. college is a lie. go if you want but i didn't fit in at college either

I'll probably never fit in but it'll be better.

no. I spent 3 years in college without anyfriends. at least in highschool, as much as i hated it I had at least 1 friend often 3

I was the lone overachiever. I was always on the honor roll, and that's proably the only reason 70% of those who knew me did. I had maybe 2-3 aquaintences, but I never had close friends. I also had early onset bipolar disorder, so I was just "doing school" as opposed to being interested in the social aspect, with the idea that a focus on success would abate the ilness itself. I studied very little but was somehow able to manage.

I think we don't really use stereotype in Belgium :/ At least not in my school.

For me, it got better. I hated high school. Loved college. The opportunity to start fresh and try again.

I mean that she may be able to shed some light on the subject because she's in Belgium too, IIRC.

[The Ü™]

Unmeauxtivated leauxneur. Sent to classes for students with behavioral problems. Didn't hang out with others at all outside of school. No interest in jerking off because I was on every antidepressant in the book. Just played video games and watch movies at home. Didn't belong to any clique. Possibly perceived as crazy by peers.

 

[ndovjtjcaqidthi]

I wasn't a stereotype.

yeah you are. you can't lie to your own brain it will stroke out and you'll die

 

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

I don't believe in labels.

Where the fuck is the pasta salad?

 

[Random409]

Belonged to a clique of nerds and the best achievers. Couldn't quite get well with girls and the "jocks" in the class, mainly despised by them. Loved by most teachers and pretty much rebelled against the whole class with my clique. Would assume prestigious positions and assignments if available and would pretty much lead the class when needed.

o ok so that label that says if consumed you will have explosive bloody diarhea doesn't exist? you and your anus have fun

 

[INTP]

I cant say i belonged to any stereotype and what i was perceived as varied over the years.

From 1-2: I did well in school, but at the time the class wasnt organized to cool/nerdy people.
3-6: i stopped caring about school, i had one good friend who was being perceived as nerdy/geeky/whatever, but my attitude was the type that the "cool" kids didnt try to pick on me.
7-9: this friend i hanged out moved back to estonia and i started hanging out with more nerd/geeks with an addition of an INTJ with similar attitude to mine. This class clown during these years tried to pick on me once by throwing bits of eraser at me on class, but grabbing his shirt on the class and pulling him at wall while being this -> l l close of beating him up stopped that shit. Also i started smoking weed and doing graffiti(and being good at it), which was something that only the cool kids did at the time. Which i didnt brag about, but the cool kids found out and i had more of their respect.
Vocational school 1st year: i hanged out with this guy who was one of the most famous writers in the city(despite of young age) and few others smoking weed and writing.
2-4: me and this friend went to other class and obviously didnt tell them about writing and some of them(who thought that they were cool ,but were just fake shit) tried to pick on us because we were alway hanging together and had our own thing, but they soon realized that homies dont play dat and while not being part of their group there werent any hostility.

Gromit's quiz says I was The Lone Wolf:

You are a very private person. You don't like it when other people meddle in your business, and you prefer to handle your problems alone. You cherish those moments of peace and quite, and you are not easily annoyed. You have the patience we all want, the drive we all need to the power to connect them both. You are awesome! (Just try to hang out with friends more often, it won't hurt)​

I kept mostly to myself, I always have. I wouldn't describe myself as someone with "the patience we all want, the drive we all need [and] the power to connect them both," not by a long shot, but I am a very private person and always was.

I always got good grades and got along with just about everybody but I was not very close to anyone after elementary school. I rarely hung out with friends outside of school and was quite content to do my own thing.

I am a nerd and there is no doubt about it, (our group is called "the nerd herd") however, I can actually socialise with semi-popular people (yes, I know it's a miracle considering I'm an introvert)

I'm pretty glad I'm a nerd as teachers pretty much let you do anything because they trust you more than any other students plus having smart friends is very useful for maintaining good grades.
