How popular are YOU?

Post Reply New Topic

For my whole time in school, I was an outsider... the enemy.

I've had 2 primary schools, and 3 high schools. Moved around a bit when my dad married again. Gladly, it's over now.

Infant School- Unpopular, didn't care about my enemies. I had no friends whatsoever, but no enemies that I recall.
Early primary school- I was an outsider and a freak. I had loads of enemies and no friends.
Middle primary school- No friends except a few who used me, more enemies, even more outcast than last time and I didn't care.
Late primary- Outcast, no friends, so many enemies, was nasty to the younger children out of sheer malice.
Early secondary school- One or two "friends", so many enemies
Middle secondary school- A few friends, still loads of enemies
Late secondary- A small, stable circle of friends, many enemies
Final year of secondary- Same circle of friends, same old enemies, but fewer problems.

College has seen a big improvement in this. I have more friends or accquaintances, and no enemies. The people who haven't grown up are in dead end jobs.

if u get what i mean i'm pretty amazed that some of you don't want to be popular becasue having that attitude often leads to getting bullied. I'm popular and i don't overtry to be popular cuse that just makes you seem like a wierdo and i do reblish things sometimes which increases my popularity like in maths when we were using whiteboards i wrote on the back of mine "i need hair dye" which was pretty funny at the time

I kinda follow solids methods but it's not to 'be popular', but it's to light up the mood and make people laugh which, incedentally, earns you some respect and popularity. I'm not UBER-popular-strutting-down-the-halls-popular, but the other school-kids like me.

If I were to ever get popular, I'd be devestated. The popular people at my school have the IQ of a banana. It's sad.

yeah bananas suck, they can't even be grown properly anymore and have to be made using dna samples

I don't like the texture of bananas.

It is amazing because Popular (the term) doesn't apply at my high school; if people like you, then they are your friend. They don't use prejudices (at least in this context) because it is dismissive.

hmm...nope. i have...three or so friends at school. it's hard for me to keep a friend. i agree with that banana statement! the popular people are slightly nice and are bananas. the popular smart people are full of themselves. honestly, i don't care whether you're popular or not.

I'm gonna say I'm kind of 50/50. Although, I do get along with most people. But, that's not to say there are people who don't like me, everybody has at least one enemy. It's ust how you treat your enemy. I don't glare don't or have a hatred back. I'm still kind to them.

Kindergarten: Just chilled out, got along with everyone, no sense of popular
Years 0-3: Popular. Got on with everyone and chilled out. Disliked one guy extremely for a reason I still don't know
Year 4-6: Stopped hating that guy, still popular, made new friend when they joined (for the record my primary school was rather small so everyone was friends with everyone)
Year 7: First year of intermediate. Major downfall. Went from a school of 60 to one and 750. No friends. Was being bullied By the end of the year I made friends by bullying another kid (who I later found out is also an Aspie)
Year 8: Things got better. Had heaps of friends and was no longer being bullied. Near the end of term 1 stopped bullying the kid I was bullying. Teased some other people instead. Stopped near the end of the year
Year 9: First year of college (high school). Lucky for me the school I go to is intermediate and college in one so it's ok. I haven't bullied anyone and have had a pretty odd year. Inside of class I only have 1 friend and I am the reclusive loner. Outside of class I am fun and have my small group of friends (the Aspie I bullied included in that group). The self appointed leaders pretty bossy but I live with him. Oh yeah the reason I'm friendless is I don't socialise well with people like me. I'm in the smart class and I prefer the less smart people (and even more prefer people of different ages but in this school it just doesn't work like that). Now I've got 4 weeks left til it's over.

I'm going to say I'm 50/50. I mean, nobody really HATES me but there are just some people who are just aquinentces. Though, I do have many friends.

I'm not popular. I used to want to be popular, but now I've realized the popular kids are usually (not all the time though) shallow and look down on the less popular kids.
