What labels were you given in school by your peers?

Post Reply New Topic

I was called a nerd once; that's it. Though once one of my enemies said that I didn't belong in the class with them; I belonged in resource. She also later assed, "So do you think you're normal like us?"

I was given the label at high-school, "The girl who never talks". I never used to talk to anyone at school. Only one exception, if the teacher asked me a question.

Also I was called a ret*d several times by the most of immature people, school bullies.
Another name I got called very often was "weird".

Rich b***h, snob, poppet and worse.

pee girl...

and

"nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd"....(the used to chant it at me)

Also guys used to walk behind me in the hall in Jr. high singing "Fat girls make the rockin' world go 'round"

Mental,
Spastic,
ballet dancer,
Git baaaag
Heart attack (eventually abbreviated to aarta)
and woooaaaaaaaataaaa! (accompanied by arms whirling and waving)

and they were some of the nicer ones I can remember.

My label in high school was "dork".

well, the usual nerd/dork/weird stuff and the accompanying mixture of being kind of timid and derogatory at the same time... reeks of insecurity on how to deal with me.

one that stuck for quite some time was raphaela (the female version of my name), for i started growing long hair at, like, 6th grade. i was tiny, fragile, pale and not as edgy as now. go figure.
and one guy never grew tired of calling me a word that in german means "drowned body" - but has a less descriptive ring to it. well, im pale as hell and freaking proud of it. leave the leatheresque ubertan to the lowly masses - pale skin is a sign of nobility.

why dwell on the past. who cares

In early middle school it was mainly"Rich b***h", then in later middle years it was "humping homo". In high school I was mainly known as "fa***t".

Can not think of any names good or bad I was ever called.

I was called freak, wierd, dork, geek, nerd, tard, ret*d, dumbass, freak, psycho, mumbleman, and Rainman. those are the nicest ones that I can remember. Oh yeah I was a fat kid so I got teased for that as well. I'm 1/4 blood native american, and I even got teased for not growing leg hair like a full white man by a couple of ignorant fools. The great thing is the main perpotraitors of the fat jokes all got very fat, and I got thin.

Nerd, Leader, Arrogant, Ass, Genius, Egotisical, Eccentric, Otaku (Not true, I got caught reading Hellsing once and they label me Japanophile), Metalhead, Rocker, Artist, Snob, Rebel (Ironic), Insane, Sociopath, Strange

dumb, ret*d, stupid, idiot, dork, nerd, lazy, strange, crazy, fag, girly, chicken.

"fa***t" was far and away the leader, which I never understood since I never experienced any confusion about my own sexuality. I thought homosexuality was a myth until I got to college.

I didn't really get teased. I remember once I overheard a girl refer to me as "soooo stuck up". We were in driver's ed together and it was an evening class, so I didn't care to socialize. I just wanted to memorize the material and go home. I guess it was the truth though. I thought she was a boring, stupid loudmouth and that I was much better.

Another time a girl called me a "slut", in 9th or 10th grade. This was presumably because I had a large circle of male friends and much preferred their company to my handful of female friends.

Once a woman called me "humorless", which baffled people who know me... but recently I realized that I probably look something literally that she meant as a joke.

I started out in a group of the most popular girls, in high school and I quickly left the group because I was upset about the way they talked about people behind their backs. Having no understanding of (and placing zero imporance in) high school social hierarchy, I didn't see any reason not to voice my discontent by disassociating myself from an unpleasant bunch of people. In retrospect, based on the way those girls treated me later on, there must have been quite a bit of whispering behind my back. Probably about me being icy, aloof, arrogant, etc. I don't think I was.... but I didn't "get" them and preferred to hang out with the chess club and the geeks. Apparently I won the vote for homecoming princess one year and those same girls on the council vetoed me. I was glad they had, though, because the winner had to sit in front of the whole school while the crown prince crooned a love song at her, and I would have dropped dead if I'd had to endure that.

Mostly all I ever heard was the nice things people said though. I guess I was lucky.

I don't think anyone called me anything. I definitely hung out with the nerds, and the social group that was just a bit above the mentally handicapped.

But I wasn't completely rejected by the popular crowds either. Perhaps I just wasn't socially aware enough, and they just talked with me to make fun of me.

I wasn't taking honors classes... so I wasn't really with all the ultra smart nerds either. But it surprised me when I took Calculus how many popular students in the honors classes weren't really that smart, just working the system... I easily got a better grade in Calculus than other students who had 4.0 gpas... in fact many of those students dropped calc so they could maintain the perfection. What's perfection if you don't push yourself?

Plus I took some music classes...(eventually dropped it) so I was in with that group. There was a lot of mixing between social groups in high school actually... I wasn't a part of any... but knew people from most.

One distinct memory I do have, is a friend was trying to bring himself up in social ranking... he was trying to acquire new friends and move away from the "hardcore" nerds. He specifically told me not to hang around with him... "I was cramping his style."
