-
I was just a regualr teen. A little bit of a jock, a little bit of an artist, a little cheerleader, a little nerd.
-
How about all of them mixed together?? I was in UIL, a cheerleader, did the band thing for a bit, ran track, year book, journalism, NHS, class senate, trusted by the higher ups enough to get away with anything, and knew how to party like a rock star.
-
I thought I was cool, my Mum thought I was a know it all, my siblings thought I was an asshole,but we all lived happily everafter.
-
Nerdy and akward. I was the person in Jr. High and High school that people constantly put down and made fun of, but secretly asked for advice and homework help. I was hardly ever in trouble, but everyone seemed to hate me unless I was convieniently doing something FOR them. I had NO friends. I was about the strangest, most awkward person you could have found. I was like a bright pink fuzzy footie sock in a drawer of white crew socks. I was once told that I was the most popular girl in school because everyone knew who I was or found out quickly so they could avoid me.
-
G'day Singwell, Thank you for your question. While I might like to say I was cool, nerdy and awkward is the more accurate response. How little has changed. :>) Regards
-
If you asked anyone I went to school with but wasn't friends with, they would tell you I was satan incarnate. I was the ONLY goth, in a very small conservitive school. If you ask me, all strange clothing and make-up aside, I was a GEEK, I always had my nose in a book, I read shakespeare for fun, and I was in choir, drama club, competetive speach, and was on the school newspaper staff...(to this day i'm still happiest when wearing black eyeliner, red lipstick and a corset though...)
-
I was average to "cool" depending on who you asked I am sure!
-
I am a teenager, and I am just plain odd to be honest with you
-
Rebellious and defiant. I would say, almost the opposite of what I am now in my life.
-
i was an outcast and i hung out with my little tribe of outcasts. no 2 of us had the same "style" of dress and we only intersected here and there on musical taste but we all understood one thing: that we were different and being the same as everyone else just wasn't something we were willing to do. we were all accepting of each other's habits, quirks and traits and we welcomed anyone who wanted to come talk with us, even the one kid who was always so high he couldn't walk straight.
-
Pretty much as I am now. Totally disinterested in sports. Liking women but only willing to go so far to please them. Spending most of the time I am not using to make money reading, researching and learning. Not caring at all about looking or being "cool".
-
nerdy and awkward and STUPID, oh dear lord I was stupid!!! lol.
-
I was, and still am (despite not being a teenager anymore), a nerdy, awkward girl.
-
As a teenager, I was one of the more popular girls- more so with the opposite sex than my own- and was considered "cool" by those that were scared to speak up for themselves in the line of fire. In example, I was the only kid in class to confront the teacher about the injustice of pop-quizzes and detention, and was known for giving a coach the middle finger for kicking me out of the Freshman Meeting during the first week of school. All in all, I figure I was pretty average. I wouldn't say I was "cool," nor was I "nerdy"- I was the perfect medium.
-
i thought i was pretty cool back then but in retrospect i was a big nerd.
-
I was the Al Pacino. Only briefly.
-
I was cool. I was the school clown. I was a huge trouble maker. I loved to play pranks. Everyone knew me. I blended in with every crowd. But now I'm a loser though, so no need to look back on the past now, right? :D
-
I was cool.. but not awsome. I did what I had to do to get by.
-
I'm 14 so I guess that counts; I'm a quiet and shy boy, get bad grades even when I try, and teachers show fake concern for me right until I hide away again someplace safe--like in my corner of our local park. Some random boy last week came up to me and said, "Poor little bastard," and patted me on the head. Strange.
-
I started out very influenced by others, awkward, trying to be cool and I was always very concrned about what others would think about me. Then, I became enlightened. No, actually I did some thinking and became very mature compared to my peers. So, most of my friends at that point and till now see me as either cool, wise, or just plain normal. I dont try to fit in or please any gang of 'cool' friends. I'm just being me.
-
As a teenager I was very popular at school, I was one of the Rock and Rollers of the town. I had very long wavy hair, I was a guitar player, lead vocalist and played in several bands. I was the weekend worrier looking for the parties and the first one in line for Rock concert tickets and I was one to be right in front of the stage on the night of the concert. I was always avoiding as much homework as possible but did enough class work and homework to pass all my classes. I was always refered to as cool.
-
I am a teenager. I'm hard to read, labeled as a "pothead" though I rarely smoke, and I am an observer.
-
I was rebelious. Hung out with all the rocker type guys. Didn't care what the "popular crowd" though of me. Black leather, heavy metal...that sort of thing.
-
I changed so much as a teenager. Til the point I was about 16 I was a geek. From 16 to 18 I was kind of like a popular nerd of sorts. Its really weird because I was friends with all the popular people so I was fairly popular myself but at my core I was still kinda geeky/nerdy. During my 18th and 19th year I was in college and I learned to be less shy and to speak infront of crowds better. I gained quite a bit of charisma at the time and I also learned how to dance! I also found God when I was 19. When I look back on it so much changed when I was 19 that molded me into who I am today that I doubt many people would recognize me from who I was prior to that.
-
I was on avaverge joe
-
Rebellious.
-
I'm still a teenager. Been nerdy and immature till 16. Now i'm cool and mature, play sports, work out and stuff, yet, sometimes I act immature but just to make people laugh (though, i have my limits).
-
Sometimes invisible. Too quiet. If I was the way I am now, afraid I'd be suspended for fighting or revolting against the system. Too many teachers thought they were superior to us in every way. No teacher in our high school had a sense of humor. Always criticising us, never helpful. Guidance counselors only cared about the top 10% of the class. Strange that I had friends from every clique. I could fit in with each if I wished.
-
Miss Popular with greater looking boobs then anyone else
-
all of the above. i'm nerdy but in a cool way (if that makes sense, i'm friends with everyone. i'm arkward because i just am.
-
Still a teenager.
-
i was not and am not in a "click" i like hanging with who i like
-
i was the awkward,quite one and did not go out alot and stayed home.
-
cool/preppy...i was a four-year letterman in volleyball
-
I was very kind; Skinny; I talked alot, and if I was told not to say something I would normally still go and tell a friend or family member and it would get right back to my parents; I was fisty at times; I did'nt like to be touched in the car, especially on a long trip; I sang alot, and wrote songs; I didn't quite fit in with everybody, but I was never considered nerdy; people called me the church girl; I was shy.............................
-
The same as I am today. That's the problem! Shortsighted, lazy, living in the moment.
-
quiet and defiant.
-
totally different than i am now
-
total theater geek
-
Different...I don't conform. I like my own style and I do what I want. Kind of rebellious, but at the same time, I obey. I guess you could just say I'm...Different.
-
idk. i didnt have many friends and was picked on alot. though i never had trouble getting a g/f i loved video game, music, blogs, and all kinds of electronics so i's say close to a nerd w/o the look.
-
Incredilby boring because I was rather obedient to my parents, never got into trouble and most times when I acted up I just KNEW it was some phase I was going through and I'd grow out of it. Not that I didn't have loads of fun but I spent most of my time riding horses around the mountains and beach and that kept me out of trouble. Plus I was smart and good at school. Isn't that boring?
-
I was awkward, funney and GREAT lol
-
I was bad. I had sex, drank alcohol, and smoked weed. I had fun I cant say I regret it. Now I am grown I have no life and dont do anything but work and go to school. Only thing I regret is not going to college when I was young.
-
Band geek/stoner... no wonder I did crappy in school.
-
Oppressed at home, semi-popular at school.
-
I'm still a teenager now, but from 8th-9th grade I didn't really know what I wanted at all. I was smart, so I hung out with the nerdy kids. I still do; my friends mean the world to me. But in the middle of 8th I started hanging out with whom you may call the "cool" kids...and I also hung out with some stoners, just for variety. I pierced various parts of my body and kept my grades up. Now, I'm just trying to find who I am. I'm even doing my sophomore year in China so I can get a better view of what I want.
-
I was quite nerd & awkward sort of boy in high school but was quite popular in my class cuz i helped everyone a lot in homework, studies & cheating. That also saved me from bullying at school. Some boys tried to bully me but there were a lot of class fellows out there who constantly required my help in homework & exams all year round so i was saved!
-
im a teen now and im cool but im cool with my group of people im not a nerd or jock i skateboard and listen to death metal but am still religuis
-
im a teenager now it depends what u mean by cool ya im cool if u mean by the people in my group skater ya im cool jocks hate me i am a skater and listen to death metal
-
I was a jock. To some people that was cool, but to the majority it wasn't. I didn't drink, smoke or do drugs; I trained. I wasn't a wild party guy; I'm still not.
-
As a teenager I was the one always two steps behind everyone else. I had friends who belonged to different groups and I guess I was what people called a hanger on type. Not really in any group. The worst thing about high school was the way the teachers ignored me, I was extremely quiet, they would put me in the back of the room and ignore me, because I didn't cause any trouble. Conference time teachers would look at me like I was some kind of alien, who's this kid? It broke my heart. I was an avearge student, but invisible, I just wish I had a mentor.
-
I was a hideous creature of the teenage persuasion with a military school brat attitude and a hunger for the ladies, knowing no god but instant gratification and irresponsible compulsive acts of selfishness and violence. I could sleep anywhere and eat anything and drink everything I wanted. My friends feared me and my parents hated me and my girlfriends all knew where to find me - with somebody else. Life was a big experiment and I was a volunteer lab rat who chewed through the walls of the maze and took the cheese anywhere I wanted to go with it. I probably took your cheese, or your daughter's, and I wasn't sorry. I didn't even like cheese. Now I do.
-
I am a teenager, 14 to be exact, and I am coo, nerdy, and awkward at the same time! My friends think I'm nerdy with my exotic cars and cool when I do awkward stuff!! Pretty darn weird but I can always change!
-
I was mean as hell, and lovin' it!! Fuck Yeah
-
I was the most athletic and popular person in the school. I had always won spelling bees, science fairs. I was offensive player of the year, basketball MVP, track runner of the year, and cross country of the year. If you don't believe, I would show you all my trophies. I could never be beaten at anything, but there were times that I was ridiculed, but just remember, it happens to everyone.
-
I was everything. A non-conformist, if you will. But I'll use 'categories' to define myself: nerdy, cool, awkward, athletic, punk, well-spoken and -versed, all at the same time, and people really liked me because of it. I didn't succumb to peer pressure because I was never pressured; everyone who knew me knew it wouldn't work, so they didn't even try. I was different, and that's a rare find in high school.
-
girl jock...still a follower tho
-
nerdy
-
popular, skinny, awkward and lonely.
-
i was a looser. i did drugs, partied too much and dropped out of high school. luckily i grew up and learned from it all.
-
I was a really bad person when i was younger...i did things that I regret today. i am a better person now and I dont think i could be who i am without the experiance i had....;)
-
I changed a lot, because I moved a lot. No particular reason, my mum just couldn't stay put haha. I started off in year 7 where I was a normal 11 year old, became pretty popular, had an awesome group of friends. I was quiet, but I knew some cool people, and my school was great, pretty easy to grow up in unless you were just really weird, everyone was accepting. Then I moved away from the city, and now I'm in my last year of school, and I really hate it. People are so different, and judgmental. I'd love to move back. But hey, could be worse. I'm ok with myself, but I'm so quiet and not as confident as I was. But I'm off to college in 5 months so it's cool.
-
Quiet. I was very quiet. I'm still pretty quiet most of the time, but am more than willing to cut loose and get rowdy now.
-
Shy and depressed.
-
I was mad at the world. I thought everyone was after me. I was wrong of course. I'm too small to be even noticed.
-
i was awkward... sort of a laid back metalhead... as a senior i was the guy who all the freshman and sophomores though was the shit, but i didnt get much respect or friendship from people my own age... this had to do with me changing schools my junior year...
-
i was the popular redneck girl
-
I was a popular nerd :p
-
I was the quiet recluse.
-
I was the person who got along with all of you. :) The Drifter, perhaps?
-
I had a geek-chique look going on..
-
Well, hmm...I was the one that would prank a teacher and students if I had the chance to. Since I am a senior in high school now I have the best chances to do these things. One day at lunch I had a chip with a lot of nasty refried bean stuff on it and I launched it across the lunchroom and it hit a guy on the side of the face and since I was far away no one knew where it came from. It was nasty but funny at the same time. I was also the same way as Zangalee. People would pay me to do their homework and make fun of me after I earned them an A+. Then I had the final laugh after I had the A+ on the test and since they didn't have any help they would have the lower score.
-
well i was the strongest in my class as far as lineman on the football team go. i didnt talk all the time had a good time loved being with girls that were silly.
-
Well, from what others tell me, I was a pure genuine nerd.
-
Theatre geek
-
Hmmmm I'd have to say more the "blend into the crowd" type with a little bit of nerd thrown in because I was quite naive in many ways. LOL
-
Studious , Sporty, Quiet/Shy but loved to dance, could be a bit crazy.
-
pretty much the nerd BUT.... Not anymore.... I'M THE SHIZNIT!!! I've come a long way but honestly, as an adult, most people really like me for being really smart and knowing how to do so much. We were so stupid when we were in high school.
-
I don't know. I was well liked. Probably too nice... I was funny, too. Not like stand-up funny, or class clown funny, I just knew how to make people laugh. Different people, too. Not everyone laughs at everything, but I had a way to figure out what they thought was funny, and I made them chuckle. I guess I was king of a mystery, but no one really asked about me, or my history, so I didn't share anything. I guess the short answer to your question is: I was a people pleaser. P.S: does this question keep getting downrated? I feel like I saw it at 115, then at 110, then I uprated it and it was at 114, but now it's at 110 again. Are there problems with the computer, or does someone have a problem with this question?
-
SPORTY .. still am cuz well im still a teen lol
-
Available and easy. Pity no-one took advantage of that!
-
I was your ordinary pot head
-
I would say more on the Joe Cool side.........not totally cool but cool. Awkward? Nope. Nerdy? Absolutely not!
-
Im 14, im not the MOST popular, but i am definately not a geek! i get average grades but i know get along with everyone- i guess im average!
-
Very nerdy and awkward.
-
All of the above, I was a little geeky, a little cool a little awkward and a little confident, thats the point of the teen years, growing up and developing yourself in the best ways to minimize whatever of the above descriptions , that make you unhappy. I'd say I'm still working on it a little but I still have a few months left as a teen.
-
i have'nt been a teenager yet im 10 years old
-
The best way to describe me is to call me a chameleon. I got along with a wide range of groups in school that had no connection to each other except through me.
-
Shy and quiet
-
I was the one who wasn't really popular, but i wasn't nerdy either...i mean sometimes i would hang out with the popular group and sometimes other group, i was just me.
-
my freinds call me the dweeb! haha, im 13 and im such a goof ball, i sit at he *kewl table* and i laugh alot, goof around, but er one LOVEs me! thats prolly why im on student council, but at home, im a older sister that has a temper....i have a 10year old sis, and that mostly explains my *bad temper*
-
as a teen: angry...happy...hormonal...smart...but lacking common sense...open minded...stubborn...outgoing...but shy...but had close close friends...still knew a lot of people in class but that's because they approached me...i was motherly i was told...protective...i knew who i was for the most part, still figuring out the rest actually...but i wasn't some lost soul even though i was clinically depressed...opinionated...oh my gosh opinionated....
-
A bit of a rebel, smart, slightly nerdy, hungry, anxious, unsure of myself, weird, smokey, defiant and lonely. i'm not sure how much has changed :)
-
extravegant and really funny... i have always been th class clown..lol
-
i am a teenager. and here i am spending time on "answerbag" surely that says it all! haha just kidding-its a great site! anyways i'm a self confessed geek. but i know how to have fun.
-
I was the coolest person in school because I had the hottest boyfriend!
-
Quiet and nerdy stayed to myself. As I got older I became assertive and very outspoken
-
'popular girl' which usually means stuck up or b*tchy. I tried not to be; i guess it's just easy to get caught up in the whole party/sex/drugs/$ thing. Whatever, i got over it.
-
i dont know wich cadigory this would go under but alot of girls liked me and i was athletic and had alot of friends
