Were you a nerd in high school?

I was smart, not nerdy. Quiet, not many friends at school. Then wanted to express myself, be different. Went grunge, then goth. Did a bunch of stuff kids shouldn't be doing. Then on Halloween my senior year got in a car accident. Spinal cord injury. I always wanted to be different...got my wish.

No, I was one pissed off dude at my broken family situation in highschool.

I thought highschool was a complete waste of time and a zoo cage for thug wannabe gangsters.

I got laid a handful of times, but it's never what I wanted.

I guess I was probably in good shape back then because I ran track and played football and soccer. But, I thought everything was retarded.

I really just wanted to get away from it all and get back right with Jesus.

So I dropped out my junior year, got my GED in two weeks and then started junior college the next year.

I've never regretted it for one second.

I would never go back to that useless socialist hellhole or wish it on anyone.

yeah. i’m feeling that bruh. i think a lot of us do.

Non black men are so insecure!

I tried to be, but there were all these Mecican and black kids taht kept telling us to go back to where we belong lol so I had to spank they asses and get kicked out of every high school I attended. I like reading "To kill a Mockingbird."

90 % seems high. I was not a nerd whatsoever, but I thought the clicks & groups, backstabbing & cruelty I witnessed was ridiculous... Upper income high school. I was never promiscuous. I met my husband at 16... He made “Sexiest Man Alive” look average. We married after I graduated college... Together 35 years. Life changed dramatically after we lost one of our children. It was also the day Jesus spoke to me audibly & restored me supernaturally. The Holy Spirit revealed truth to me through a decade of suffering, grief & darkness. I found GLP after I started searching relentlessly for truth. Jesus gave me eyes to see through lies!

We didn’t really have some elite clique at our school. Alot of different groups doing their own thing and not really shitting on anyone elses. Probably more petty arguments and problems within the groups themselves than group to group conflicts.

So then when I was college age, I started meeting shitty peers who really had a caste system in place and upheld it because they thought they were golden. Some of the most childish tantrums and episodes ive ever seen came from those folks not being able to implement their fantasy onto others. .

Nerd = good grades?

No

Smart = Nerd?

Yes

:Buddylove:

Just so you know a little more about me. I didn't let that stop me. I graduated high school even though I had missed 3 months of school and had a full paid scholarship to college thanks to good grades and a high ACT score. Graduated, got an IT job and have been good ever since. Being smart has advantages. I wasn't going to sit and live off the government when I could take care of myself. Be strong. Don't let others knock you down. Get up and keep going.

i haven't finished high school, that brought me to GLP

No I was one of the 3 or so deadheads, ended up dropping out to do dead tour 94 and 95. After that started 3 companies one a multinational. We are doing fine but our freedom is threatened at this time.

Would have never found glp without the wise words of a few older cats on tour

No, I wasn’t. But teachers were nice to me.

I used to read a lot, tho.

This

I was into art, photogragphy and always painting and drawing . I was a good student and .. i was told i looked like Belinda Carlisle alot.

Same here. Am quite possibly a nerd now though :)

I was a nerdy frump and dumpy too.

I was a long haired hippie and got laid every time I went on a date. Can only remember 2 first dates where I didn't get laid.

straight a's. barely went to school last two years..worked for my dad's construction company and made $$..he wrote the notes as long as grades were up...cut school. surfed the pacific waves sometimes.. good times..

thought school was a joke..

listened to 80's punk rock and 'goth'

neither nerd nor jock...

Hey, mine was the 70’s.

It was right out of the movie Dazed and Confused! Just wonderful.

Most everyone in our class grew up together .
Got a long. 1/2 not so poor. 1/2 not so rich.

Grew many acres of da ganja. Made hash and honey oil. Grew pounds of “golden teacher” and other magical fungi.
Played sports. Good to be big fish in small pond.
Great music entails learning music. Start a rock and roll band. Too fun!
School was science, wood shop, chemistry , sports, cars, girls, tunes, older 30-40 yr old neglected housewives. Homemade wine. Beyond great concerts.
1970 1/2 z/28 rally sport. Loud stereo, Van Halen, KISS Army, AcDc, Aerosmith, list goes on and on.
Fishing, hunting, guns, football,wrestling,track,jamming,driving incredibly fast,drag races, stereos,girls who liked this...priceless!

Hated school. Super fast learner. Big problem with me.

Now phd’s work with and for me.
Btw, phd’s cost around $150.00 per hour.
That’s only relevant when the years of “formal” education is ask.
Always ask the questioner why that question is relevant. Then I personally like the look when you tell them you can’t remember if you graduated hs, but I employ 5-6 PhD research scientists...

Or did.

I started out as a Nerd ... I had braces and glasses My freshman year ...
I worked all that next summer in the corn fields , pulling the tassels for seed corn Co. like Pioneer ect ... so I could buy a set of contacts , around 350$ which was a lot of money back in 1980 , so I ditched the glasses, got the braces off ... Starting back to high school and things were never the same ... after the girls started noticing Me ...
Kinda have turned back into a Nerd thou ...
I spend countless hours researching the most relevant subject's and am a practicing introvert ...

I was a retard.

All my classmates remember me cuz of my wild hair.

No. A pothead surfer.

Yupz

I guess technically "yes" but I wasn't fully a nerd. I was smart so I was with a lot of the nerdy kids, but I hardly ever studied in high school nor college. I was still quite dense with girls, probably still am. People tell me I can't tell when they're into me, and I always go for the ones who aren't into me.

DEATHLY afraid of computer nerd????

Honestly, no.

But, I hung around the 'nerds' because
they knew about weed and smoked it too.
Obviously, I was what they called, a 'loadie'.
I smoked, was great at sports and was going to become
a professional drummer. Had the long hair and used
my lunch money to buy CIRCUS Magazine to read about
rock stars.

It was definitely different as people would say
'soh-sh' because we wouldn't participate in socializing
and headed straight off campus to smoke.

It was fun. Then we'd hang out in front of the school
watching people and making fun of them or noticing the
girls...and after lunch I had art class then P.E..
THOSE classes I got A's in. Only ones tho'. Ha!

I didn't get 'good grades' but I did become a professional
drummer.

I went back and got the GED a few years later tho'.
They said, we have a refresher course to help you
pass for 6 weeks. I said, ah, no. I just want to take
the test. They said, no one passes unless they refresh.
I said, I just want to get this over with.
To this day, I have no idea how I passed.

Fun times...
