Current Events > Were you guys popular back when you were in school?

(+) Yeah! (+)

were any of you bullied, back then?

I was a bullied, friendless loser.

I was not bullied, but I was not popular. I think most people just didn't really pay me any mind, which I was ok with.

No, i was reclusive and went home everyday and played video games alone for the most part. I had acne and went through depression.

That was me in middle school and below. After I learned to defend myself I was just friendless.

Was bullied when I was younger, but not once I was in my teens.

I was never really popular though. I was one of those kids who got on with everyone but wasn't really close to anyone.

No, I was the kid that no one wanted anything to do with. I'd just mind my own business quietly and apparently that was enough to make everyone shun me. That, and I was terrible at sports so gym sucked too. Coach eventually gave me a pass after seeing how I was being treated by my own team mates and they agreed they'd rather be short a player than have me on their team.

Lies, rumors, and such were spread about me. Anyone that took the time to talk to me would've known they weren't true, but it just grew to be a thing that happened. It caused to me get roughed up between classes, have my locker sabotaged, bookbag stolen and all my stuff tossed in a dumpster. That kind of thing.

Then I'd come home from a miserable day at school to an angry abusive father, a mean spirited older brother who was ashamed of me(he was in school the same time).

The only break I ever got was to lock myself away from everyone. They preferred it that way. So I spent most of my life alone and trying to avoid people. Now as an adult I'm so lonely and want a romantic relationship, but I have no idea how to even exist around another person as myself.

I had more friends in high school than in college/university, the latter being a pretty lonely time actually. Well... University specifically. I had some friends in college too.

I wasn't popular but I had friends with some of the popular kids, most of which I never knew until we were in the same class. I guess I had a nice personality.

I was also bullied some, but not universally. There was just this one douche and his friends. I ended up accidentally breaking his arm in several places by slamming him to the ground. I swear, it was accidental.

My high school was very small, so everyone knew everyone.

I had the most friends in high school as well

This is despite the fact that my parents sent me to a high school relatively far away instead of the one my middle school fed directly into because that one had a bad reputation for drugs and gang violence

Virtually everyone I knew at the time was going to that school so those first 2 months at the new school were miserable until I met the 2 dudes who along with myself would be the foundation for the big group we would grow into

Now talking about just myself, in 10th grade I finally embraced the 'metalhead' identity that was first seeded in 7th grade, grew my hair out and started wearing leather jackets, band shirts and shit which had a very positive effect on my "popularity"

Middle of the road. I had friends that I was close to and mostly stuck to them, but I also got along well enough with everyone else. I got around a lot at that age, so I was apparently likable enough.

Not gonna lie, I was pretty much a local celebrity. I was known as the best skater in the county, sponsored by the local skate shop and everything.

my hs was small so it wasn't hard to be known. about 800 students I think. that said I did get a little bit popular in junior year because I was on the cheerleading team and was homecoming prince. got to know a lot of the people on the football and cheerleading team who basically knew everyone else lol.

this was all because my GF at the time convinced me to join the cheer team with her

only time I got bullied was by a rival team. i got attacked by their stupid mascot.

No, but I had friends and people didn't bully me.

Eh?
