just one point for the funny guy

1 pt I remember going one time to a party that the high school kids went to. There was a lot of smoke in the air, drinking and a lot of sexual fooling around. I was scared and just sat in the kitchen where the light was on and then left. Stayed away from parties after that. I had 3 friends who I chatted with between classes. Worked part time at Sears, was in fashion shows and taught etiquette classes to young girls on Saturdays for 8 weeks at the store. Loved it. Babysat children in my spare time. Loved it. The teen years flew by.Edited 01-Apr-25 01:40am

Tried to fit in and be social because that what's expected, did with some people who liked my quote 'quirkiness' (autism) but was horrifically bullied by others, I am much more introverted now that I'm free to be and much prefer my own company or that of other eccentrics lol

I hated it for a numberr of reasons. Firstly because the headmaster was an odious English Clergyman. Secondly because we were expected to regard the British queen as our Head of State, this despite the fact that it was under her and her family's ruke that the genocide of the Irish People was authorised by them nut that horrible English Anglican priest played the British National Anthem in church after every service yet we were not even part of britain but the Sovereign State of the republic of Ireland.

I used to get in trouble all the time for talking!! Remember getting my mouth taped but when teacher turned her back, I pulled one side of tape off & talked til she turned back around.

1 point, high school was lonely, was bullied. Yet when I finished year 12 realise it was somewhere to go to and was sad.

I was bullied throughout school. I couldn't wait to leave school thinking the bullying would stop. It seems adult bullies are just as common and bad as school bullies, sometimes worse than school bullies. Then you get the keyboard warriors. :/

7pts I can't remember that far back

what we used to do in high school you could not do now/ I could tell you stories that would make your hair curl

I was kind of crazy only if I had to defend myself. there is some who I should of beat up but I didn't and they ended up dying anyway hahaha

Not popular, not too smart, a bit of an idiot but very ambitious.

shy but sporty

I went to an all boys' school so I didn't get a balanced education.

A quite loner and forever bullied however I grew up very quick after dropping out of high school at 15 and Iv'e never looked back.

I was a mix a quiet loner and a nerd

Had a neat and courteous manner. Well that’s what it said on my school report along with the sports I participated in.

Lucky,had a terrific fun, happy school time

I had been schooled in the Catholic School system and the nuns were very annoyed when my mother sent to a public high school. On the first day I realised everyone knew one another because they had only come from 2 feeder schools so I was the odd one out. It didn't bother me too much, I simply put my head down and studied. It may account for the fact that I have never been invited to any school reunions, firstly I was viewed as traitor for leaving the Catholic system and not being one of them in the public system. However, I don't think any of my children have ever been invited to a school reunion either.

You name a sport i played it.

I struggled with marks in high school, I blame it on my dad being an alcoholic and coming from a war zone as a child. Therefore, I kind of kept to myself but had some friends. Some of them bullied me. However as I’m now 70 yrs. Old I could care less about those assholes that were so mean. I was very successful in my life, married with 2 lovely kids and 4 grandkids. I still feel the same about those Bullies, a Leopard never changes his spots. However, I have moved on…

Quite in the background. Played a bit of sport.

My father decided I was not to go to a higher level school (Level 12) as he felt all that was wasted on girls who would get married a few year's after leaving at 3rd year High. I topped my year in English and went on to relearn shorthand (now deceased) and a few year's later acquired by night study what was then called "matriculation". Didn't attempt marriage until I was 24.

I was popular and loved

4 pts

6. I had sense of humour made others laugh yes. But still I was quite in the corner in other cases.

Schooling, regardless of year level (k to bachelor degree) was an activity to be endured until finally finished; but learning has always been an enjoyable activity. "School spirit" was, and still is, anathema to me.

I was a horsey person so had a few mates who loved horses too

hi Hanno

4 points for Quiet/A loner. I kept to myself.

I was a little bit of all of those! I was often shy, and I did hang out with the smart kids, but I was very good at cross-country and track so I knew the jocks too and I was a good musician. Music and sports brought me out of my shell. I also studied auto mechanics so I guess I was well rounded.

I knew everything, as teenagers do. I really don’t know why the world is not run by teenagers while they still know it all………lol

We didn't have much money, and I wore second hand clothes. My hair was full, mousy brown and wavy. Surfer girls all had straight, blonde hair. I got along better with the boys than the girls, who made fun of me. I also was bullied, but I got through it all! ;-D

Artistic, punk rocker. LOL!

Bullied by classmates and teachers.

Bullied

On the shyer side yet had a group of nice friends after a couple of years there. Very much a daydreamer !

6

Always focused on getting good grades, but also had a good group of friends.

I just wanted to obtain good marks, and persue life.

I was a mix of all of them

Wow so many of us were loners! We could've made a loner club! Haha~ I was a loner, switched high schools 4 times before grade 11, and was a goth/punk.. I lived in a very conservation city so I got bullies everywhere, which contributed to my ditching school

1 point

The one that could not be categorised.

Went to the same school as my dad taught at got picked on alot

Very young,almost 2years younger than the majority of students. Passed very well,good at sport had a close friend group but would mingle between others. Couldn't stand bullying. Felt a bit different from others as I worked after school cared for my siblings ,cooked,cleaned and cared for my deaf and blind grandfather. I had very little social time outside of school.

4pts still quiet. Had a geography teacher who would try to bring the quiet students out of their shell with sarcasm. Once the student "bit back" he would move onto the next quiet one-not sure on his logic.....

HI, TY Linda J,383315

1 lonely point for being a loner

Popular, well-liked, part of the in-crowd, but did not register with me at the time. Unfortunately only did 2years of High School and "papa" told me during the Summer Break that I wasn't going back and had to go to work! I really, really loved going to school.

my schooling interfered with my education. Couldn't wait to leave.

I was on the quiet side but not overly shy. I had a small circle of friends (some were from grade school and some friends I made in high school). It was a very large school. I was on the track team, and got involved in some of the after school activities

5 pts,friends with all

6

I was a quiet loner and kept to myself. My self-esteem was in the toilet back then.

cross country runner

Mostly quiet, a loner. I just had 2 good friends in high school and am still like that today lol. I like my circle small, never liked crowds.Edited 27-Feb-25 01:07am

STUDIOUS

I can remember that I wasn’t allowed to finish high school only going to year 10 instead of 12.
