I was a contradiction. I was super shy and self conscious. On the flip side I was a cheerleader, dance group, softball and swim team.

I didn't think I was popular at all and I didn't think people noticed me. But people knew me and sometimes I didn't know them. I had a groups of people I was cool with. I was also goofy laughing a lot. I was good too didn't really disrupt class. People would get me in trouble by making me laugh once in a while. Most of the time I was quiet.

Senior year I became more anti social.

I was simple as I am now.

I played freshman basketball but stopped. Went to try out my senior year but I saw the coach played favoritism so I quit during tryouts. I would have made varsity. Instead I played varsity soccer my senior year, which was funny because I had tried out my junior year and got cut, although I had only started playing a month or two before I tried out.

As far as being social, I was quite social. I knew a lot of people and hungout with all types of groups. Black people, I was cool with since many of us knew each other from middle school, but I also hungout with the Mexicans, Russians/Ukrainians, and a few Asians.

Academically, I graduated with a 1.6 GPA and that's only because a few teachers that liked me allowed me to pass, but I've ran into an old physics teacher (from my senior year) and he explained to me that he knew I was intelligent so I figure that he figured me being held from graduating would only discourage me from pursuing education, although I was quite the site to see speaking German and passing without little to no practice.

Yeah I'm kind of different.

i was pretty quiet, kept to myself, did decent in class...

but i was pretty good at sports so I was friends with all the jocks/punks. Made me more popular than I probably should have been, and got me involved in a ton of fukkery that I otherwise probably wouldn't have.

@Alienus what would you say?

I wasn't apart of a tight niche or anything so I was all over the damn place in high school. I also had my way with the administration. My senior year I got late arrival and early departure everyday:myman: Apparently that sh!t ain't easy to get.

Yeah, I did too. And two of my classes were "Office Aide" and football. So much win :wow:

I was a roamer. I hung out with random people - popular people, nerds, jocks etc...one day I'd eat lunch with one group of people, the next day it was with another group. I didn't have a set group of friends in my high school (but that's also cause my best friends went to a different high school, so after school and on weekends, I'd mostly chill with them and not people from my high school). I was also a really good student, but wasn't annoying with it or competitive...I just wanted to do well for myself and I'd sometimes let some of the slackers cheat off me if they wanted lol

In more detail....

My mind was ALL KINDS of fukked up. It was like having a big-ass road map, with no sense/way of gaining direction on even the most BASIC level of human existence. It was incomprehensible....

The following words/phrases described me: underconfident, timid, socially awkward, depressed, lonely, suicidal, scrawny, etc. I had this fukked up mindset that everyone else was better than me, and I am always wrong and insignificant no matter what. This made it very hard for me to stand up for myself, and easy for others to take full advantage. The fact that I was physically weak as well didn't help either. I wasn't getting slapped around on a constant basis or getting stuffed in lockers, but basically if someone wanted to flex, I'd be the "go-to-guy." Funny thing is the nikkaz that were doing it were always eventually exposed to be bytch-nikkaz themselves...It was EXTREMELY DEPRESSING though, and frustrating because I had an ENORMOUS interest in the martial arts since I was young; I just never had access to them. I believe that if I were able to get into something, my shyt would of turned out TOTALLY different. I had no real father figure or anyone to look up to, so I was basically a baby lamb in a forest full of wolves.

I got clowned/picked on SLIGHTLY but luckily it never got too out of hand like with others. This basically came from hanging out with the wrong nikkaz. Most of the time I would get clowned for shyt that wasn't even humorous; just ignorance on their part. I'm Belizean ( a "coolie" bwoy), so I don't necessarily look AA. But, I would get called shyt like "terrorist, bin Laden, pakistan" and pretty much any popular person of Indian heritage. The fact that I had glasses and braces up until my sophomore year added to it too. Basically people would fukk with me because they saw me as "quiet" and "nice", as if that was an excuse. The disrespect was immense; I honestly believe that if I were the way I am now back then, I would of executed at least 5 nikkaz....like seriously.......

Females? FUHGGEDABOUTIT. I couldn't get p*ssy if the shyt fell in my lap out the damned sky. I had NO CLUE how to interact with females, and I was sold on the whole "females are a gift" Disney-bullshyt, so that obviously yielded disastrous results. I would get rejected just because, or for stupid shyt like "not looking black enough", or "not talking enough". I was the kid that would like a chick, get turned down, then a week later see her hugged up in the hallway with some next nikka. VERY soul-shattering. Every now and then someone would claim to like me, but I would have NO attraction to them whatsoever. I'm talking 200 pound chicks. Sorry but...fukk that. I even had some chick turn me down for this cat I worked with, then tried to get me to take her to my prom just to get back at him after he dropped her. I declined promptly, and never spoke to her again...I never went to my prom, either...just stayed in the hood with the homies and got fukked up. I didn't even lose my v-card until I was like 19....

It wasn't until my later years (16-18) that shyt STARTED to get better. For some reason, nikkaz decided to take me under their wing besides my few REAL homies that were still my friends through all of that bullshyt (I still keep in contact to this day). IDK if nikkaz felt sorry for me, had a coming of age or what, but I'm thankful as shyt for them (R.I.P. Calvin). Today I look back at it and seriously wonder how I didn't keep from leaping off a bridge or drinking a leach cocktail or some shyt. I almost half don't believe that my life was like that, and it most be some fukked up elaborate thought someone implanted into my head. I really don't know. It wasn't until I left High school that a nikka began to evolve and actually LEARN shyt.

So basically from birth to 30....FML.

Eh....I was cool enough to get acknowledged by the jocks, pretty boys, and Dboys in the halls, get invited to their parties every now and then, and be on the inside looking out when they were givin' it to the busters of the school.

I wasnt cool enough to get laid with any sort of frequency tho...

So like 99% of people I look back on high school like:

I was quiet, shy, compassionate loved to learn. At first I was into the theater/creative art scene and then became more interested in literature and science- bit in my eyes both are different angles of the same perspective. I took a lot of AP classes and LOVED making good grades. This sounds lame but knowing everything on that AP test and being the first to finish and being the only person in that class to make an A while being the only black person/minority in a room of a$$hole CACs was :datazz::blessed:

I was teased in the beginning for being shy, skinny. Started to become noticeable physically in late high school and didn't know what to do with the extra male attention.y :ninja1:
