Hey Yaa'lllll! Im not American, So I dont know why I bothered, but anyway..

I was wondering, when you were at School from the ages of.. 15-18, what Stereotype were you? Well that you think you were..?

We may be surprised by some people here..
And im sure that there are alot of people who dont like nor believe in stereotypes, but for fun sake..
 
I would be the protagonist in just about every single High School movie. I was no stereotype and struggled daily to fit in with any of them, often to hilarious and/or devastating results.
 
Probably a less geeky dork, I only remember one name used to describe me and my friends in school 'mings' but for me personally there were a great many number of names used just on me.

Yes school was a great part of my life.... No bullying what so ever...

>.>

<.<
 
Sorry if this thread brings back crap memories.. Im just curious, I enjoy learning about peoples personality in the past and so-on.

I think I was the guy that people knew but didnt want to talk to because they were afraid.. which is fair enough, and only had a couple of bestmates I'd hang out with at school.. So stereotypical wise.. Hmm.. thats a hard one.. anyone know what I'd come under?
 
The same as me. The stereotype of not fitting any of the Hollywood High-School stereotypes.
 
I guess I was just some dude. Not the popular one, not the dorky one (though I obviously knew a lot about all the geek topics); was in the choir, which was, contrary to American stereotypes, something to be proud of. I wasn't an athlete, but could bounce a ball and run fast; cracked jokes; did well in classes. I pretty much got along with everyone.
High school was awesome.

Now if we talk about movies. I'd be the guy on the background or maybe the likeable sidekick.
 
I wish I could be an late-80's, early 90's stereotype. Those guys were awesome. Especially the early Metalheads.
 
I was just the typical fat kid with glasses, acne, bad hair, braces on my teeth and all the fashion sense of a potato.

The braces are gone now though...
 
Can't think of any stereotype that would fit how I was.

I wasn't that popular, but I wasn't unpopular either.. somewhere in the middle. I was the guy who always did well in Art & P.E., the occasional class clown, but is often accompanied by his little skateboarding brother who couldn't control his boner.
 
Psh, I was too cool for school.

The quiet psychopath, the pothead. Generally people thought I was crazy and often noted that they had never seen me laugh. It didn't help that my friends were all eccentrics who never quite fit in with the normal bunch. it was all good though, best days of my life really.
 
I don't really know what I was. I partied, I was an athlete, I was a nerd (for stuff like video games, star wars, etc., not academically), and I was terrible with women, and as a result, never actually dated (which is still the case). I mostly just stuck to a rather diverse group of close friends that are still my best friends today, though I don't see most of them enough since we're all off at college most of the time. There was also another larger group of people in high school that we hung out with. They were probably considered "cooler" than us, and most of them would have been classified as stoners. I suppose they were fun to hang around with for the most part, but I was never close with any of them and haven't cared enough to see them since we all graduated. Other than that, I pretty much hated high school because of all the superficial hierarchy bullshit. That's not to say I didn't have fun during those years though; I just didn't like being at school or at any kind of event that involved any large portion of the school's population. That's why I skipped my senior ball to go to a rave in San Francisco with my friend from a different school. Best. Decision. Ever.
 
I'm not sure, maybe the quiet artist/nerd? I hated high school. The only thing I really ever cared about was ceramics class. Just sit by myself and shape the clay any way I wanted for as long as possible. Bliss. That got me throught the first year. Unfortunetly, there is just something (several things really) about a school environment that I find absolutely toxic. It wasn't long before I was skipping classes and walking out in the middle of others. One day I walked out of class and just never came back.

I had a lot going on in my life at the time, but I don't regret the decision. When my counselor asked me why I was leaving for good I told her that I saw school as nothing more than a way to further integrate myself into a scociety that I wanted nothing to do with. I still feel that way.
 
I started out as the loner who everyone said would end up as a school shooter. Didn't talk to anyone, just read, responded to most human contact with a "**** off, you're an idiot" and some sarcastic disdain.

By the time I graduated, I'd started TRYING to make friends, but I wasn't very good at it, and only had a year where I was trying to be nice, so it kinda failed.

I don't think that's a stereotype, though, because I didn't dress all in black.
 
Actually, the non-Goth loners are a stereotypes and the ones to watch out for. Because ,'yknow, they aren't alone because it is "non-conformist".
 
What? No, there isn't really a stereotype for that. I mean, there is, but it's not a "high-school student" stereotype. It's a "serial killer" stereotype. "He was a quiet guy, kept to himself mostly." So that stereotype doesn't fit. Me, because I wasn't a serial killer. All the dismembered doctors aside. And doesn't fit the thread either, since it's school stereotypes.
 
Are you sure? I had both the Goth non-conformist loners and the regular-but-what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-those-guys kind of loners.

In High-School.

Or rather, the Swedish equivalent of it.
 
Well, yeah, but is it a stereotype? If we don't have a name for it, can it be a stereotype? Does "Creepy SOB" count as a stereotype?
 
Well, I'm just saying that the loner stereotype has several sub-categories. The Goths don't run the gambit on it.
