View Full Version : "Were you popular in School?" "or are you popular?"
As you can tell I'am really bored.
Ill go first I was an "Inbetweener" knew everybody but I never hung out with the cool kids, I stuck with the Football loving fella's who some were quite popular others not so.
What about you's?
Wow I'am really bored.

My school never had a hierarchy. It was just various different groups.

That fits well with the character profile I've built up on you so far.
mainly groups in my school, had all the 'rockers' in the corner, all the people mad on footy, the drug/alcohol abusers then the people who kept themselves to themselves. i hung around with the footy people earlier on then as my music taste developed started hanging out with the 'rockers' a bit more. so id say i was a drifter :)

I was abit of a drifter in year 11, it work well for getting my final grades up, you?

Within my own year, I just seem to hang out with most people, but there are a few weird people around so I just seem to say away from them :/.

'Short time'? But you've been here since 2009. ;)
I'm the one that likes someone for who they are not whether they're popular. The "popular" kids at our school are self proclaimed popular when everybody hates them, because they're popular they think they're hard and talk down their noses at people. In our school popular kids are the ones that get beat up the most, not the fat kids or the nerds.
So if you don't wanna get beat up, don't be a douchey popular kid and be yourselves.

Whoosh.
To be cool/popular in our school you just got to have talent or something, like playing rugby or rapping :cool:
You've also got to have a good footy knowledge and have to praise Utd 24/7 as I go to a school in Manchester :'(
I was one of the cool kids...nice clothes, popular with the girls, in with the right crowd etc.
Pity it didn't carry over into adult life really. :D
The "popular" kids at our school . . . everybody hates them. In our school popular kids are the ones that get beat up the most.
I'm terribly confused. :confused:
I was won of the wasters in school. Basically just smoking a lot of weed. So was in with that group in school and most of them i knew from around my area but they were a year above me. So i seemed to get along with majority of people in my year but never was really good friends with any of them. If i bump into anyone from my year now they seem to always say how everyone liked me an i was good craic but can't really remember it like that at the time.

Surely you'd have to praise City 24/7 if you went to a school in Manchester seen as the majority of United fans are OOTs ;)

Popularity demands some sort of consensus of opinion (however fickle or feeble that consensus might be); Billy-no-mates cannot suddenly strut out onto the playground and declare himself 'popular'.

Haha it wasn't as bad for me, there was at least 40 Liverpool supporters in my year out of 200ish. Most of the others were Burnley, Blackburn and United fans. With the majority being Burnley, it was hell when they got promoted they never shut up about how great they were!

Apparently that's what happens to all of the 'popular' kids at this lad's school. I wonder if the kids dishing out the beatings to these charlatans are the truly 'popular' ones . . . and whether if they assumed this position, they would end up on the end of severe beatings, themselves. It's quite the conundrum.

Or the 'girls' in his school, aren't really 'girls', they just think they are.

Depends what you mean by popular doesn't it?
I get on with loads of different people from different groups and not many hate me, but the people who are classed as popular are the hottest girls and boys, the ones nobody likes all that much.
I wouldn't say i'm a drifter i just seem to get on well with people in the different groups. I do have a small circle of friends though and my circle of friends can get critised due to us being in the top class (this critism is mainly from "mr popular" and this citicism mainly stems from his own insecurities). I live in Stoke so half of the pupils are stoke supporters and the rest are "stoke supporters:rolleyes:"
I am of course a liverpool fan and have been all my life as my family comes from liverpool. I have had a fair amount of stick recently due to our league position but the real stoke fans say that out of the top 5( man u man city, chelsea arsenal, us) they would like liverpool to win the league the most. I have been called a bin dipper before though (not sure whether this was due to my hobbies or because i support this great club :P)

I was a ******* at my school a total rebel made bart simpson look like an angel
my pranks and victims were many but I would always target the teachers and never the kids.
I raised hell and loved it :D
I Hated the "gang" of chav's that ran my year at school, I talked to some of the cool folk and ignored the rest of my year.
By 4th year I was getting stoned and taking diazepam before or during school to help me block out how much I hated school. I tried so much to get expelled but the head of my year knew i wasn't a bad kid but was just fed up with school so never kicked me out.
Looking back I was known but not popular nor was I bullied. Most folk knew me as "Gav wee bro" my bro was very popular with all the cool ones in his year.
I knew most people but like Kriz my school just had different groups.
I wouldn't say I was popular in school but I suppose I was popular in my group(s)
I played football a lot and was on the school team but also loved arts, music and movies etc. and also hung around with people the other players would call geeks etc.
I worked hard also which some people didn't like but they're all junkies now so pft!
In all seriousness, I was and still am kind of a big deal.
No not at all. Not unpopular but just didnt know that many 'cool' people.
Changed at college a bit thankfully.

In other words you could be saying that the most dominant kids are 'popular'. That sounds like there could be something evolutionary in that.
Or I could be spouting rubbish learnt in Sociology lessons.

I was in Primary because my mar worked in my school so everybody knew who I was. In secondry I went to school in another area of Liverpool so I wasn't really known. I was popular with the girls - not being big headed - and I was pally with the more popular lads because I played for the school team so they all knew me. But I wouldn't say I was popular with everybody. When I reached year 11 I was more or less known by everybody in my year and the year below. I was known for being a sound lad rather than being one of the naughty kids.

But everyone knew who I was, either because they liked me, or the people that didn't was because I was too "cocky" because I wasn't scared to stick up for people getting bullied, and the big lads didn't like it because i had a big mouth :P
