I was popular. I was a rebel, too. Unfortunately about halfway through high school I became “that pregnant girl” lol.
#9.
Brains. AP classes and straight A’s all around..
I don’t know if I ever had one group. I was the let’s-bring-all-the-cliques-together-and-love-each-other kind of girl in high school…needless to say, I got on a lot of people’s nerves.
Band Geek! But that was 1/4 of our school, so it was kind of cool.
Sigh….I was a band geek.
/embarrassed
3/7/10
Smart skater. But I went to an all girls school for high school so I don’t think these labels really applied as much. I don’t really know how non-conformists is different from the other groups.
“popular” and “brains” were closely associated at my school.
Brains & non conformist. I had bleached spiky hair w/ long bangs & black gothic clothes.. and I was ASB president with a 4.2 GPA
Band geek and brain… I did marching band, symphonic band, and jazz band. I also took all high level classes and got straight A’s. I guess this just makes me an overall nerd.
7 & 9.
I was the quiet loner but I honestly got along with (mostly) everyone.
I was a mix of 2, 3, 7, 8, and 9.
11. Outcast…and I still am in college.
@the_rocking_of_socks - Don’t be embarrassed!
athlete (xc&track runner) AND brains (IB dropout, not sure if it was the right choice to drop out but at least I’ll get into university)
I’m a strange combo
None of the above.
Loner. Smart girl. But I had popular friends. Actually I had friends from every group but was never a part of any of them.
Creepy janitor.
By my senior year at my high school everyone was over the cliquey bullshit and everyone just talked and got along and helped each other out. I think only in America do you ever see that true stereotype high school stuff, lol. Silly beans.
I was the one who people went to for help with English assignments though, and most things, so I may say brains. and just because no one has yet said wannabe (which is a lie – all teens are wannabes, we’re all losers) I’m gonna say wannabe.
What about the art kids? Or the theater kids? Noncomformists, I guess? I think of them as more rebellious.
Eh, every high school has their own blend. Emo, I guess, of the list. I wasn’t nonconformist because I was a really good kid, actually, and far too concerned with my grades (brains, then, maybe?).
Half of my 6 friends were band nerds, so I identified most with them though I didn’t play anything. I wore a cape and everyone called me Batman, but the goth kids hated me too, so idk what I really was. The non-conformist kids were their own little clique and I wasn’t cool enough for them, haha.
i was an orchestra dork. and so damn proud.
I’m that cute girl in the green jacket. I like her.
Worthless. Guarantee you everyone has a different mental image of what they were in comparison to what everyone else thought of them.
My high school doesn’t really have cliques. At least, the people in my year don’t. I heard the people two years lower than us do. xD
‘Course, we still have our share of “popular” people who love attention and tend to get on everyone else’s nerves, but nobody makes anyone else feel inferior or anything.
As for me, I frequently get called an “emo”, but it’s all in good humor.
all of the above except #1, 2, 6 & 10 =P I wish I was a band geek though…
Mostly 9 and 3, but I reckon I didn’t care much, meh…
Brains, although I was still a loner and didn’t hang out with the other brains, who got along with each other so well.
My high school had no athletic groups, it was an art school. So it was divided amongst their focus:
Visuals, media-heads, dancers, thespians, musicians and tekkies (tech students). After that, people were divided into three groups: druggies, geeks and preps.
I was a geeky visual.
Non-conformist brain.
I didn’t really stick to one group – I kind of floated between groups. I hung out with pretty much everyone – I had goth friends, geek friends, super religious friends, popular friends, skater friends, punk friends, prep friends, and athlete friends. I guess my best friends were all kind of like me though – we didn’t fit in with any one group, we were just “us”. We were mostly “unknown” and all came from different sorts of areas of life and academics. I guess there were only a few of us, but I was the one in all APs. A couple were in AP in the area they were best at (i.e. English or Math or Science – one of the above, or maybe two). And some were not in any AP classes. I even had a friend in some special ed classes. None of us really dressed like the other – one dressed rather gothically, another more punk-like, another very preppy, one athletic and I was in jeans and a t-shirt most days. So, I don’t know, I guess we were “non-conformist”.
Non-conformist all the way!
3, 7, 9, 10…..
Definitely a Band Geek. Still am. So are my kids. Proud of it!
Kudos on the Freaks and Geeks pic!
I was a mix of brains, athlete and non-conformist. Basically, I wanted to make good grades (and I did), I liked to work out and I was a Karate student (both of these are still true) and I didn’t really care about a lot the petty stuff everyone else cared about (non-conformist).
I was an athlete…and from these comments, it seems i’m in the minority! Sweet!
If this was your dare I’m disappointed.
I dunno, I was kind of a weirdo. At school I was a varsity athlete since my freshmen year but didn’t hang out with jocks, I had a 4.5 GPA but wasn’t really in with the nerdy kids, I hung out with theater geeks but I wasn’t really friends with them but they were someone to sit with at lunch. My social life existed outside of school, I was an artsy fartsy, pseudo-intellectual, druggie punk. I thought my short purple hair, eyeliner, and combat boots were so original as I talked about philosophies I thought I understood ’cause I read a chapter in a textbook.
My problem was that in high school I thought in these terms. I didn’t know who I was so I attempted to manufacture an identity based on ideas like these.
It didn’t work very well.
Brain/artist who hung out with fun band geeks, non-elitist brains and the nonconformists and played a therapist to a few emo kids. My school must have been awesome because none of the stereotypical groups were actually mean, even though there were some cliques and the occasional bad egg.
Athletic brains. But I skipped class often since I could afford it, haha.
My mother had to actually come into school since I cut so much. The counselor looked at my grades and ask what a student like me was doing cutting class. Aah, that was hilarious.
I was an art kid with a 4.0…
group 3, Brains
the populars
Vancouver highschools does not have any cheerleaders at all !!
Band Geek and Brain!
One of my own, which I suppose means non-comformist. Much the same as I am now, really.
Uh, I’m the really smart girl that teases guys that everyone who knows her likes. I’m well-liked in all of those groups, by the people who know me in them. Not popular, though. I’m not well-known enough.
I played Tuba, and was the only Tuba player, and that automatically made me the coolest person in the world. And I also hung out with skater-type people. So yeah.
1/2/3/7
Non-conformists
the nobody’s
Jew.
I was more of a loner. I knew people in all the groups and was friends with one or two people in most of the groups. I was even tolerated about the fringes of all but a couple of the groups but never was a part of any of them.
I was a band nerd, but I was even outcast by the band. My high school band, ironically, was made up of the popular kids of the year under me… I had a very select group of nerdy/geeky friends from the band who played Nintendo games and referenced Monty Python and WWII history on a regular basis.
None of the above. I didn’t fit anywhere.
We honestly didn’t have groups like that. Nobody believes me, but it’s true. I think my HS was too big for all that. You were always meeting new people you’d never seen every semester. It’s hard for cliques to form in a place like that.
somewhere between geek and a nobody (I think)… but I was not fully either of them, I guess.
@carolinavenger - hahahha XD great comment.
(and my sister was kinda like that, she used to dress like an elf on a regular basis, but I admired her for it because she didn’t care)
I’m honestly none of these because I was friends with whoever. I played soccer, but quit sophomore year. My best friend is a cheerleader, but we weren’t friends with the same people. I was in AP classes, but didn’t do fantastically in any of them. I play guitar, but nobody knows it. I know how to skate, but again, nobody knows it. And there really is no way of saying you’re a non-conformist without sounding kinda… off.
So…. I was a mixture of everything without acknowledging it
Brain, cheerleader, geek. I went to a super-small school. Graduated with 17 others.
popular – had lots of friends, athlete – was on vball and track team, brains – was in almost every AP class
Brains. I actually had someone tell me years later that they used to always try and cheat off me. I pretty much kept to myself for the most part. Wasn’t popular until college and the popularity was overrated and I didn’t care enough about it to maintain it. Honestly, I’d rather be a brain with a few friends than popular and not know who to trust.
The stereotypes at my highschool weren’t that defined. But it was clear who were the jocks and the ones who hung out in the courtyard– for so called “popular” people. Athletes& cheerleaders had brains and were also nerds, skaters got along with geeks, etc. –everyone was at peace with each other. If I went to an incredibly cliquey HS though, I might be 3&5, together.
Can I be in multiple? Maybe 1 and definitely 3. Ran track and played varsity tennis. AP classes, straight A’s. =P
#3 and #9 I’m in ap classes so I guess that makes me smart…and I hate the whole let’s-all-act-the-same-way-thing so I try to stand out a little bit.
I was kind of a brain, just the kind that didn’t try all that hard, LOL. I graduated with a 3.6 though. Most people that met me liked me, but I didn’t consider myself “popular”. I was in the colorguard for a year and a half but I wasn’t a band geek.
Freaks & Geeks!
I was…interesting? I was in multiple clubs & played tennis, but I wasn’t very attractive. I talked to loads of people so I guess popular, yet nerdy at the same time.
i am a helper and athlete.
I was, and still am, the Band Geek. My school was also mostly made up of conservatives/republicans, so I was, “That liberal girl.”
None..
Band geek for the win.
Brains mostly, plus a touch of geek and non-conformist. A couple of my close friends were “popular” but I wasn’t considered part of that crowd.
I was a nobody. I conformed too much to be a no conformist, I was too weird to be popular, hated almost everyone that was in marching band with me, obeyed the rules, didn’t play any roll playing games on the lunch table and would’ve died of confusion over trying to apply make up if I were a cheerleader. I don’t say that to imply “I’m better than all of you because I’m a true non-comformist” it’s just.. after years analysis… I never found a “classification.”
Not to be all proud and stuff, but geeks/ band geeks are two different things, JUST SAYING.
Anyways, I was in band, but far from a geek. Just because I can read music, count beats per measure while playing runs, know what an up and down beat is, and have a fancy for Wagner does not classify me as a geek.
And yeah…my friends didn’t range too far out from the band, lol.
band geek
wannabe
None of the above
#2, 3, &9.
Then again all the “geeks” or “brains” in our school also seemed to be the cool kids.I’m just glad I graduated.
I was in high school.
-LkVs
I was a raver lol
left out (all through schooling) college doing GNVQ IT I did not really mixed in with other students at the same college, we all did our own thing.
I guess I’m the non-conformist if the loner fits in there? I was the one that knew people and people liked me but I didn’t really go out and do much until I got my license and even then once I started dating my boyfriend at the time I spent most of my time with him. Although now I enjoy being with my friends.
Definitely #9. Haha.
I’m a self-proclaimed hipster, at school, and I’ve loived up to my reputation. I’m a straight-A student who curses like a fucking sailor when the teachers aren’t arround!
3.
Pretty sure I was a loser… haha…
Non conformist
In our school, the popular kids were the brains & the geeks(band members)~ hahaha probably cause my school was 60% Asian…
I was a part of the brains group~ Everyone thought I was smart even though i secretly was not… I was just hard working~ haha~ I was a part of the “friends with everyone” group though~ I had my own group of close friends but had good friends in other groups too~
meh, these sterotypes never really REALLY existed in my school. I mean, slighjtly, yeah it did. .. but it didnt always apply. I mean i know some kids in band who are so far off from geeky..
Actually, I’m not sure. Our school does have cliques, but not as severely. Everyone from one clique or another talk to each other. It’s kind of strange. I’m from the … not uber popular group, but I’m well known in my grade along with my friends. We all hang together.
Cheerleaders & popular
Non-conformist- I was a punk rocker all the way.
In fact, when my old math teacher would call on me to give an answer in class, he’d always say, “Jimmy, you non-conformist, you!”
Athlete and brains. I’m surprised stoners or druggies weren’t on this list.
I was friends with anyone willing to be a friend to me =) I was just myself..really.
so none of the above
How boring. Stereotypes, I mean. Without having read the comments I’d bet most people here would say “Non-conformist”, irony notwithstanding.
is it possible to not be any of those? *sigh* i never got to show my true colors when i was in highschool. i was a full fledged loner all around. i could go full days w/o saying anything. when i did it was if someone talked to me or if i decided to answer a question…so many regrets :-/
#6
Floater? I hung out with a lot of different people.
Good job Dan…Lets copy MTV’s new reality show If You Really Knew Me and use it for a post where you gain hundreds of comments and eprops. You must be real proud of yourself for doing this, but not even explain or say which categories you fit into…Hmm…
Yea Dan where’s your answer at??? Oh yea that’s right your in the “Xanga Popularity” division which should be stereo-type number10!!!.
If your not popular on Xanga your just a piece of crap with flies on it which is really sad because there are still worthy/good-hearted people on here but they NEVER get noticed because everyone that get’s featured is popular over “stupidity” posts of nonsense OR of “Drama” posts of Omg so & so talked about me in their blog so I’m gonna talk about them on my blog site and so forth!!!!!.

I come from a country town. My ‘group’ was a bunch of misfits untill senior year. All the kids who wanted trades had quit and all the old ‘popular’ girls left to be beauticians.
My Group were the nerds/jocks/popular/artsy
My group acounted for over 50% of our grade- hence popularity. half of us studied uni at school, hence nerds, and we were all the HPE class= jocks and half of us were in art.
Thats right. YOU CANT LABEL ME BITCHES =P
It seems like most people I know fit into several groups… At least people you would want to have anything to do with. Probably always a mix of 2, 3, 4, and 9, though proportions changed with time.
Did I mention that I hate stereotypes?
Band Geek from junior high throught college – and proud of it. In college I met my wife, also a band geek and we raised two band geek children (one all-stater) and now have a band geek grandson. I guess all the world is in its place. Band Geeks unite!
I have a counter-question: how many of these stereotypes fit “Asian” people? Considering these questions might fit more for someone thinking in the 80′s when a stereotypical Asian was a foreigner or didn’t speak English as their first language, can we still classify ourselves in this? I guess I’m part of a younger generation where there was a heavier amount of gamer geeks and computer geeks are also a niche. That technically fits brains and non-conformists due to the lack of these choices. I think in other people’s eyes, I’d be a dorky Asian who hung out with Asians that could hang out with other people but would probably be too “unpopular” to consider a “friend.” As “Mean Girls” puts it, there’s “Asians” and there’s the “Cool Asians.” Since I wasn’t cool, but I speak English fluently, I can’t even put myself perfectly in those groups, not that anyone thought that of me. The only people who considered me smart were people who were also smart and were in the higher classes like me who got better grades than me yet somehow don’t get the material.
Stoner.
1,3,4,5,7, & 9.

I was a combination of brains and popular. Everybody in High School knew me, I was friends with all the stereotypes, and I took all the advanced classes, so I was pretty smart.
BTW, you forgot to add “agriculture people.” the people who always took ag classes, and fit the redneck southern stereotype. Or did they have those kinds of people at your high school?
Brain

@big_luke20 - He did fail to mention those groups, didn’t he. I was a member of FFA.

I was homeschooled, but in one homeschool group I was in for a few years there were all of the stereotypes. I was brains and non-conformist. I hung out with the goths and outcasts, although I wasn’t as hardcore as the rest of them. I was just totally fed up with the popular kids.
Neither! I think I was the “floater”, doing my own thing.
I was 9.
well i guess most people call it emo, but i was goth. =D it was fun! lol. but i wasn’t your typical “walk around with a frown” goth. i got dubbed the happy goth. *sigh* good times. even the most popular prep boy talked to me (and hit on me!)
I minded my own business-Loner. I had been told too often, “You’re weird!”… I found out after high school that most people considered me a ‘Goody-Goody’.
@Masked_Melody - Same.
@imasilentheart - Me too. Still am, even in grad school. How sad is that?
1. Athletes and 3. Brains
Athlete on the outside, non-conformist on the inside.
what about class clown? I was not, but I think that is a category that should be there.
A mix of 9, 3 and 4.
OMG.
The picture is from Freaks and Geeks. Quite possibly one of the best shows ever
Anyway.. I was pretty much hated in high school… at least that’s how I felt. So would that make me an outcast?
i was the smart girl with popular friends sadly i wasnt popular!!!
Never felt like I fit much into any of these stereotypes and think they’re kind of silly. For what it is worth though my sister who just started med school and I once had a conversation about how she thought Mean Girls was a realistic portrayal of high school. So, I guess the point is that while I find these stereotypes silly and pointless a lot of smart people buy into them which may make them relevant even if there not actually that true.
Also, I find it interesting that you maybe picked the least stereotypical high school show/movie ever probably as a picture to accompany a post about high school stereotypes.
My school was tiny, so we didn’t really have many different groups.
We had like, 55 in our class.
Thoroughly bored under-acheiver fascinated by the mickey mouseness of it all.
I was homeschooled!!! Btw love that show Freaks and Geeks
I was in the anime/nerd group. Not that we were all geeky and smart about class, we were just into nerdier subjects.
Though the beginning of high school I was all into the goth/rock image. lol
i was in a category all of my own. didn’t fit into any group, but was friends with people of every group. but i wouldn’t say i was popular. i just got along with everyone…. i’m still like that
3 & 9.
you left out Stoners!!
I attended HS in the late ’70′s –I would have been classified as a Geek (Band Member)–what category would you put “Greaser” in?
Everything is changeable everything appears and disappears there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death.
By your definition, I was a geek. However, I do believe you’ve forgotten the loners. It’s almost fitting, when you think about it.
9 I guess.
I had a little bit of all of them in me- geeks, brains, emo, popular, skater… I guess that would be nonconformist.
goth/freak
because when i was in high school emo wasnt even thought of yet. BUT i did manage to hang with every one… some of my best buds were the football team and the popular kids.
None of the above. I was in a new school nearly every year. New kids aren’t allowed into cliques.
I was in highschool from 2001-2005 and it wasn’t until my junior year that emo was even around. Some of these things change. We had punk back then but that sorta blended over with the skaters.
I dressed like a punk and listened to punk rock, played 3 sports, skated, and was in History Club/AP Classes so I have absolutely no clue what I fit into.
Semi loner. I had a few friends but not many. Gah High School.
I was probably the non-conformist, and “that girl with the oxygen”
freaks and geeks for the win.
i’m starting my freshman year of high school next month, so i don’t know yet, but i’m playing sports, so i guess i’m #1 and i’m taking all pre-ap classes and stuff, so i guess i’m #3, too..
People complain about uniformed schools but it really does get rid of the stereotypes and cliques. First time my friend and I met outside of school, we admit that we wouldn’t have talked to eachother if we knew how either of us dress, it was goth and prep
Loner… so does that make me a non-conformist by default?
most likely 9 on this list
i was the brains and i guess the wannabe/popular…actually i was the brains in the popular group…lol and it carried out to college. =P
I was an athlete, closet brain, and even deeper closet non-conformist. Most people didn’t see past the jock muscles and sideburns, and I didn’t go to church, so some people had some misconceptions about who I was.
None. n__n; I was/am still one to flutter around talking to different groups of people. I’m friends with band geeks, nerds, wannabes, and some popular people. So.. Which group would I be affiliated with?
there were only 50 people in my grade so you were either in or out. luckily i was in but we all kind of secretly couldn’t wait to get away from each other.
non-conformist
I was a mix of a jock, nerd, and burnout.
Err… 4 and 10, I guess? I don’t know, none of these things really applied to me :l.
popular outcast. i didn’t ave just one group of friends. i was well known. not cuz of anything bad, but cuz i was a good person.
My high school way wayyy too big to have clear cut cliques like those (thankfully!). Anyways, I really didn’t stick to just one group of friends, I could talk to anyone in almost any group which was great.
Always 1
Homeschooled…. so every nerdy/awkward stereotype that accompanies that.
I highly disagree that Greeks are the same as Band Members. They are two completely separate groups.
Me? I was homeschooled so I’m not exactly sure. But if I had to guess I’d say either Brains or the one kid who was shunned by every other group.
Probably the later.
i really think a more accurate grouping is described in mean girls:
“You got your freshmen, ROTC guys, preps, J.V. jocks, Asian nerds, Cool
Asians, Varsity jocks Unfriendly black hotties, Girls who eat their
feelings, Girls who don’t eat anything, Desperate wannabes, Burnouts,
Sexually active band geeks,the greatest people you will ever meet (aka art freaks), and the worst. Beware of plastics”
I was 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7…. We had a small school. Emo didn’t even exist at our school.
i wish high school had been this rigid. it would’ve made it more exciting.
everyone overlapped in one category or another.
I was a 4,2. I played a mean triangle. This is a idiophone and a precussion instrument. I became emo from all the shit I would get for following my passion.
you forgot one: Asians.
i hung out with the cheerleaders, but i was not on cheer team. i was also known as very smart, but i didn’t hangout with nerds, even though we got along.
actually, i got along with everyone, but i wasn’t popular.
i don’t know where i fit in on that list.
edit: also, what about super seniors?
None of those.
I’m the LOUD party girl, who you either love or hate. No in between.
Definitely a band geek. :3 Band was made up of Asian popular kids though. x_x During lunch, I just hung out with my two loser friends.
One was an anarchist, the other a socialist. They were always going at it.
Where’s the category with my name? I think I’m a unique case that’s a bit of all of the antisocial groups. With a sprinkle of ‘weird’.
I ran with the bullies.
Yeah, I do think you left out the weirdo category.
We didn’t really have too much of those concrete stereotypes. Lots of people in marching band, but no one really classified most people there as “band geeks”. No jocks in particular, although the entire girls and boys track and field teams (incl cross country) seemed like one big community. Lots of preps, but only a few were involved in sailing and crew organizations. Most people considered the “preppies” to be the richer, clean cut kids living in the expensive areas of town.
There were a couple of skaters, but any potential clique probably dissolved after middle school. Lots of mallcore/gothic kids, that’s perhaps the most identifiable clique. I guess you can kind of say the same about those emo fags and scene kids. There was also the standard “AP” crowd, meaning if you took a few AP courses, chances are each class had the same people in them. Oh yes, and the drama queens too. The black kids mainly stuck together (the ones not involved in track) as did the hispanic kids. Not sure if you can call that a clique but there was certainly a lot of segregation.
Overall, most people just sort of hung out with their own group of friends, groups that had no obvious, discernible traits. What gets stereotyped in those TV shows didn’t really happen in my school and I can probably say the same about many other high schools.
@Rob_of_the_Sky - I always had a thing for wrinkly janitors.
@ShimmerBodyCream - Did Xanga unblock your ISP number?
@Rob_of_the_Sky - I don’t know. I guess! I got on my Mom’s computer and now it works!
We didn’t have all of those groups when I went to school. It was either the popular or not, and I was the not.
I’m in band, I have brains, and I “non-conform”. I don’t know, I’ve asked a few kids what they think I would be considered in, and they said I’m not just in one. There’s drama/theatre kids too.
“The Asians”
Yup.
im still in highschool, but at this point, i guess i would fit into brains since i get all A’s for the most part. I also do cheer though. I did orchestra for 3 years. And i pretty much only wear black so i fit into a lot of these categories..
I started high school as a semi-scene/emo kid, then became a nonconformist, all the while being a semi-popular band geek. Marching band, jazz band, indoor drumline. Had AP classes and stuff, but I wouldn’t call myself a brain. College should be fun, considering that where I’m going is like, 80% prep.
i was a band geek/skater.
I cannot answer this one, because you did not provide me with ‘the link’.
High school now(:
I’m friends with a lot of preps, and I guess I am one…haha
but I’m taking AP and honors and have always been in advanced classes…so brains too<3
it’s a weird combination.
brains, honors student and all (A)
but to the rest of the brains im the annoying slut who doesnt take school seriously enough
UHM, Dan. You forgot stoners… c’mon. Everyone knows they’re a highschool staple clique.
Oh, but I did try out for cheerleading, and got accepted. That’s where the stoner part comes into play.
I was part of the nerd herd :/
actually i went through almost every single one of those phases and ended up knowing everyone at school. then i just realized…i was an art kid. soooo…an emo geek i guess. haha.
i’d say i’m none, or maybe a mix of all of them.
I had friends that were emo, popular, band geeks.
I can honestly say with no egotistism that i was my own person. i admit other people did influence me, but i never stayedd to one clique. some days i dressed emo, some days preppy, and some days just bummy.
I guess i could say i tried to find my place but never felt really comfortable in any of them so i took bits and peices that i liked from each stereotype and mixed it altogether into just ME.
Hm…I wonder….
I was both #1 and #9
Goth, which you didn’t list.
high school prom queen! and whatever category that goes into
I don’t see a “Non-Entity” category.
Orch dork, track nerd, AP smart girl.
I don’t think I’ve ever fit into any of those
I was a “freak” early 90′s. We didn’t have a “group” we were just “freaks”
Freshman year I was:
Brains
Popular
AND the ‘Bad” kids
I was smart, so I got bored and started drinking/partying/smoking pot/popping E and God knows what else/snorting cocaine/sleeping around. I was in the “Brains” group purely from being forced to spend time together in our advanced classes and get to know each other. I wasn’t well liked in that group though. I never had to try at all in class and consistently scored the highest.
Sophomore year I was:
Brains
Popular remnants
Then I got pregnant and decided high school wasn’t my thing and went to college.
The end.
#10 cheerleader.
But I was also an ASB officer as well as in AP classes so I guess I fit into “several categories”.
I fitted into the English category, the one where I dont fucking get this.
geeks / nonconformists
You forget loner. I had friends, I swear, but we were separated by several things.
by that point, people had pretty much given up bullying me. I simply didn’t exist. We don’t talk about that one over there…
Athletic geek…..I was a basketball playing…gigantic …6’10″…thin as a rail…130lbs….Buddy Holly look-a-like.
Theatre kid.
Also the ‘involved group’
basically, the theatre kids also ran stuco (student council) and torch (the school newspaper) lol. good times.
i was also on green team. (environmental)
I was what you would call a Hopper. I was myself and friends with anyone and they were all in different groups.
#9
Yay for Freaks and Geeks picture! But I was definitely “the outcast.” Ok, and I smoked a lot of pot too.
I WOULD be non-conformist, if I wasn’t such a non-conformist. lol
is that james franco on the left? haha looks like him. and i would be considered an “asian” (yeah we have that clique in my school…) or a nonconformist.
okay so im a bando
but trust me, the choir kids are even worse on the geek scale. even bandos think choir kids are weird losers… im a bit in the stoner group too
#12 My own sort of weird group of kids, otakus, dudes… I guess it depends where your from. But yes I’m from nobody’s specific crowd!
one, three, nine.
I’m kind of everywhere.
“popular, cheerleader, prep” all seemed to meld together, as did “jocks”. that’s where I fit in, until I decided I was sick of it and dropped out, hah.
Well, I dont Fit Into A Particular Stereotype.
Im the Girl.
The honour student with no respect for authourity, The Cheerleader who Skateboards and is the lead singer Of a Band. The Band Geek Eveuryone thinks Is Beautiful.
Im that girl, who some girls Hate and Most guys Want.
I dont Have A stereotype,
Im Just Bella(:
I was both emo and a band geek. Everyone in my school knew my name, but it wasn’t for good reasons. I was that kid that teachers who never even had me in class talked about, and I think at one point I was unofficially voted “Most likely to burn down the school”.
JAMES FRANCO.
What?
@IzzyPopx - LOL.
My school doesn’t, and hasn’t ever had, those cliques.
If I went by my schedule, I’m a Popular Brainy Geek. I am friends with literally EVERYONE in the school, I am a 4.0 all honors student, and I’m in the marching / jazz / concert bands as a general saxophonist (I play them all). Overall though, people here are all together and they don’t look at each other as a different clique…we’re either friends or we’re not, and that depends on who’s nice and who isn’t.
cheerleader! but also a brain. yeah, i rocked it.
First off, I LOVE the Freaks and Geeks picture…it’s awesome.
I didn’t fit into any of these groups actually. I was a drama geek.
i was a band geek, and i still am! and now, i will be the band teacher.
I’m ashamed to admit I was one of the popular ones. It’s all so lame and old now.
im sure of these stereotypes overlap atleast did at my school…
I’m probably a non-conformist wannabe. but societal restraints keep digging at me.
Cheerleader and proud
Although I was also known as the “goody-goody Christian girl” but oh well
Non-conformist. Represent!
Loner. Kinda. I was just that quiet Asian girl that never talked to people in class. But I had friends
i would like to think i was a non conformist but i think my friends will shoot me and say i’m the popular girl. Guess i’m the popular girl that doesn’t want to conform!?
you forgot the stoners. i was with those those guys. i was an outcast/skater/stoner.
If I had to pick one I was the Non-conformist.
My high school is too sophisticated for ordinary stereotypes. ;P
Band Geek [band is a big thing at my high school] & Brains
[Gotta have those AP classes 
]
You’re missing a few..
Athlete, Popular, and Non-conformist
The one who pretty much didn’t make beef with anyone and got along with most of the groups.
I’m still in high school so I’m a popular athlete but also a brain. but I get along with everyone around me at school. I’m not judgmental or closed minded.
I would say outcast or nonconformist. In highschool I think I was more on brains side, and still a little am, but not that much. I don’t know I really don’t exist to most people and I’m kind of used to that and suits me, although it may sound sad but whatever, I guess I see the bigger picture for me and everyone has a place or group they belong to whether they find out sooner or later.
none i was like a social butterfly
#2 !! [: And 9.
i changed from 4-5-6-9. I’m a fucking conformist these days
But the kids in my band aren’t geeks..? We’re some of the coolest kids in the school. No lie.
Brains for sure.
#1
I don’t know..
Im a cheerleader but my grades are the bomb.
I dont talk behind peoples back or exclude anyone because it wrong.
Cheerleading is a sport.
And I just won class president so you could say Im popular,
That show is good – and I thought the gal was pretty!
Nonconformist!!!!
Hi Dan!
I enjoy reading your posts from time to time (although I don’t comment all the time) – maybe you’ve seen that on your footprints. But I was hoping if you could do this as a favor and well to the rest of the Xangan community if you can bring this up to others’ attention. I recently put up this link: http://www.xanga.com/ideas/1849/havingarelatedpostslink.html to bring awareness for Xanga to have an option for everybody to be able to get a “related posts” link published at the end of each post. I believe that older posts can somehow get equal amount of reads, too!
If you can let everybody be aware of this and vote – I will greatly, greatly appreciate this!
Crystal
Well, definitely not an athlete.
I got along with everyone
you forgot the weirdo artistic group. XD
Brooding artist.
we were kinda segregated (blacks, asians, spanish), then from models, dancers, cheerleaders, and different cliques.
stoner
loll
I sort of floated between athletes, geeks/band members/brains/popular/non-conformist/loners (I know that wasn’t on the list, but oh well). I was in sports med and hung out with a lot of the athletes, I was a total band geek, I was smart until about grade 11 when I stopped caring, I was popular in that almost everyone knew my name in some way or another and most people either liked me or didn’t give a shit, I was non-conformist in well…I didn’t give a shit about fashion and being popular and fuck all, and I was a loner because I hated people and didn’t mind hanging out in the library alone.
There’s my life story.
Geeky, brainy, nonconformist.
non-conforming geek.
brains x wannabe popular
(Y) yay for band geeks. most of our school is consisted of band geeks, so i guess it’s cool too
and brains. and popular.
smart people can be popular too
don’t judge
i love freaks and geeks!
Does being in band have to mean you’re a geek?
Actually, that question is a bit of a joke.
Total Geek. Band nerd all the way.
I was just a dork, but I had fun with my nice, down-to-earth friends.
I was that guy that could sit at any lunch table. I was liked by nearly everyone and everyone knew who I was.
I was the “tough, yet smart arab” of the bunch XD
People twice my size were scared shitless when I make one move towards them (may have something to do with how I mercilessly crushed one of their posse with casual ease at a local tournament, heh)
So yeah! ^_^
put me in 1 and 10
I wasn’t really part of the stereotypes… I had “clicks” all around.. with many different people…But I was in band.. so I guess I could be a band geek…
I’m a mix of the aboce except cheerleader, band geeks, emos, preps, wannabe, and popular
Non-conformist nerd.
I didn’t really notice the “cliques” at my school. We were a melting pot of cultures and religions, with poor areas and country clubs in our boundaries. The worst thing to be was a “hater” or someone who didn’t accept everyone else and their differences. Still, people generally hung out with those who had the same interests…I was in theater and hung out with many of the “drama” kids. I was also one of the “brains” and hung out in the library. I had friends who were sporty and who were popular and who were druggies. Mostly I was a drifter, going from group to group, haning out with whoever I felt like being around. No enemies, but not really any very close friends either. And I was happy with that. It fit me.
Non-conformists
at my high school, it was: popular/preppy/athletic/cheerleader (that was pretty much all one thing), band geeks, artsy/drama kids, goths, wiggers/druggies/sluts, loner kids who looked and smelled like they never bathed, and then me and my friends, who weren’t any of those things and had no desire to be. :p
Lucky number seven.
brains
Wannabe doesn’t really exist, cause everyone wants-to-be something whether its skater, athlete or goth. Just because they weren’t with the IN-crowd that was doing it, people call em wannabes.
Myself, 8(longboard) and 9.
AND musician. I always hang with musicians. But not band “geeks,” we hang out in the hall and jam guitar and talk about cool stuff
On a final note, I hate popular kids. Well, a few of them are my friends but still. Preps are just.. brainwashed
