What did other kids at your school make of you?

[collin]

Well were all grown up now and do our stuff and most have children of their own.
When you were at school what sort of a school kid were you??

Were you a bookworm type or a bully or bullied....were you one of the cool kids or did everyone think you were a bit of a twitt(carefull spelling again)

Did you enjoy being at school and are you doing the job today that you envisaged you would be doing back then??

 

[sj1973]

Great thread Collin....i was in the medium gang at school (not geeky not cool!!)

I was never a bully nor was i bullied BUT i did and still do today,stick up for myself. I am the sort of person who will help ANYONE BUT.....if you do something to me or my family i wont speak to you again...EVER !!!....

I wanted to be a hairdresser when i left school,went to college for 2 years and bumed around,i regret it now BUT i still cut my own hair (sometimes)!!...my son's and daughters and i use to cut my hubby's until he went bald and now i shave his head.:lol:....Happy days were being at school but i tell my children now , and they dont believe me.

I was one of the girls, a bit of a joker and had lots of mates.

I also had enemies because without sounding bigheaded, I was a bit of a looker and attracted a few boys.

Don't have to worry about that now though, everythings gone south and if somebody whistles around me they are normally calling their dog.

Teri x:hug:

I was a bit of mystery to everyone, I was friends with the "cool gang" but didnt fall over myself to fit in with them, I had my own style and stuck to it, I was confident and slightly aloof, often percieved as arrogant and as a result I got my head kicked in on more than one occassion, once ended up me being in hospital, two cracked ribs and a broken nose, the girl thought I had been eyeing her boyfriend up ( it was far more likely I was eyeing HER up! lol) anyway....lol

In regards to school work, hmmmm I found school a bit boring, I found it much more fun challanging the teachers and as a result spent alot of time OUTSIDE the classroom as opposed to being inside and I had a legendary relationship with my PE teacher, I was most rude to her and hated her with a passion and she was equallay as rude to me but let me off with everything !! This is amusing really given I am about to marry a bleeding PE teacher !!!

I left school wanting to be a hairdresser and had been working in Saks part time since I was 13 and for some bloody stupid reason I jacked it in when I was 16 and became a care assistant!!!! lol grrrrrrrr

 

[UKRed]

I was always the one people classed as a 'swot'.

I used to do my homework, hand it in on time and always behave in class. I used to get bullied to the point where I wouldn't go to school, and my mum dragged me to school everyday (shame of it!).

One time my mum went into school about the bullying and the deputy head said 'andrea is a good girl, so she must expect to be bullied' and that was that


I always thought I was going to be a nursery nurse when I left school but ended up becoming a Graphic Designer. :lol:

 

[~Emmsybabes~]

When I was little I was a swot...I used to correct my mates if they pronounced a word wrong lol,
By the time I moved up to high school, I was still a swot and one of the "stiggy kids" I didn't have nice clothes or anything my hair was horrendous...
I had friends, but also got bullied quite a bit, girls waiting outside of school to beat me up and stuff.....This leads me to my next stage by the age of 14..I was ....
a tart !!! :green:
I liked my skirt as short as I could get it...make up as thick as I could get it and as many snogs per weekend as was possible...

The whole time from 13+ I was in love with the partner I have now...he was a "bad lad" though,. so when he wasn't interested I looked elsewhere for love and attention ~~altogether now~~ awwwwwwwwww :lol:

I by this time, had lots of friends...I wasn't popular as such..but I liked and tried to be friends with everyone.
I think I had more male friends than female ones though.

I did want to be a nail technician since about 6/7 ish..
Infact a while ago an old friend on facebook caught up, and said "she knew I would end up doing something like this, as I was always good at it " :green:
But mainly I wanted to be a famous fashion designer and a mum !

 

[fifitrix]

OMG! My brain is almost exploding trying to think back that far!!!!!! Thanks for that! :lol:

At primary school I was very quiet (I know I know), when I got to secondary school I was a bit more out there but classed as a bit of a posh bird! In Scotland! Is there such a thing? :lol:

At that time I would have laughed at anyone who would have said that in in erm 20 odd years time I would have been a nail technician and have my business!

As it was I left school and became a vet nurse (watch out Collin I specialise in de matting cats with big hairy tails!) :lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

[Sassy Hassy]

I was always one of the smallest so had to live on brains not brawn! I was always the spokesperson when anything ever needed doing. I was always one of the top of the class, and when it came to art and music one of the top of the school :green:! However I was weedy and one of those geeky four eyed kids that always got picked last when it came to the netball teams ... I hated sport!

I wanted to be an art therapist but never got there. Oddly 8 years ago when I was looking for a total career change I did a huge test at one of the careers offices, and coudn't beleive that art therapist came out top! If you had told me at school that I'd have had anything to do with the beauty industry I'd have fallen off my chair laughing!

Actually I always remember saying that I never wanted to work in an office, never wanted to be in the forces or be a teacher ... so how DID I end up being the secretary of a Forces school!!!? erm be careful of what you wish for!

All I can say is billy no mates:cry:

I was not liked and found it hard to make friends so really nothing changes really:green:

[Bagpuss]

I was a joker...wasnt in the "in" gang but didn't want to be either (all too bothered about appearance for me) i had a group of mates but there was one in the group who would just decide one day (for no reason) she waSnt your mate anymore and all the others would follow....funny though it was never her that everyone fell out with....it used to do my head in never knowing if it was your turn this week or not....so i dumped the lot of them and hung around with the lads...far less confusing. If they had something to say, they just said it and moved on.

So my mates were all boys...far better laugh....didn't care what you was wearing and didn't nick your lippy.

I didn't do well in school cos i didn't try hard enough...i found it boring so messed about and got sent out all the time.

I saw the careers officer in school and said i would like to be teacher....she laughed and said.."well your pretty what about a model"....in otherwords...YOUR TOO THICK...:LOL:

I left school and did a YTS hairdressing but the money was pants do left 1 week after i qualified and went in a factory.

 

[Bev Rose]

I was the kid that everyone came to if they were being bullied. Why?
I used to beat the living sh*t out of the bully. For being a bully.
Well, tbh, I only ever had to get in a scuffle once, they were then well too scared of me to even try having a go.

I guess it stems from having 2 older brothers, they taught me how to defend myself.

Funny thing is, unlike now, I was built like a racing snake - no fat anywhere! And fit as a fiddle. I did not look like a tomboy, quite the opposite, which also used to have a disarming effect on bullies!

I also used to be the one everyone came to to pour out their troubles to like some unpaid Agony Aunt!

Thanks so much girls you have made me all warm and fuzzy inside oops sorry that was the Sloe Gin :lol:

I was a very quiet kid at school Primary wasnt to bad but as soon as I hit High School it was a nightmare from the first day until my last.

I seemed to attract bullies by the dozen and everyday I seemed to get into fights not my fault of course:green:
So my school days were something I would not ever want to repeat:hug:

 

[min11]

I was tiny and just kind of melted into the background when we came back from Holland when I was 9 almost 10. I was generally liked by the popular kids but was never part of any clique or group. Just tended to keep my self to myself unless some one came and sat with me which they often did. I was rubbish at sports so was always second last to get picked and thats only because, well I guess you had to be there, I still feel sorry for that poor girl to this day.

I got bullied from time to time once I came back to UK which was a shock as that just didn't happen in Holland where I had actually been quite popular because being English I was different to everyone else.

 

[loubylou]

I hated school with a passion from the very first day of first school,
my mum took me there, left me there for the day and i was home by 11am stating that i didn't like it so i came home,
i was only 4 so my poor mum was horrified to see me standing there on the door step
of course she made me go back and i quite got to like first school, then at 9 i had to go to middle school :cry: i was devastated, i wanted to stay at first school with all my friends lol,
at middle school i was very good at my school work, i did O level English at middle school with a small group of other kids as we were ahead of the rest, but seemed to be useless at getting on with the other kids,
used to get bullied every day, i was always the smallest at school too so that didn't help,
at grammar school i was in the crowd of rebels, adults said do, so we did the opposite and i very rarely went to classes but one of my friends did so i used to get the work from her and do it at home so i didn't get to far behind but this was the first year of grammar school,
for the next two years of grammar school i was hardly ever there as i was needed to stay at home and care for my mum who had got bad with her cancer, i looked after her right to the end when i was almost 16 but school had ended for me then so i didn't do well in the exam area as the teachers would not let me sit them because i had not been for the last two years
didn't get the help back then that i would have done these days as a child carer :!:

Hey Twirly Tail -
I LOVED school and I hate to say it (but if I don't Geeg will) ... I was popular - but I was also kind and I used to be kind to everyone - even the lads who were nerdy but sweet... some girls would take the p*** but I thought that was mean... the bad part to that is that all the nerdy sweet guys then ended up fancying me and of course the feelings weren't reciprocated. (BTW I realise this now... didn't realise it then) :lol:

Sam says that if I had been in the USA I totally would have been a cheer-leader (fuuurrr shuuurrr) but I hate that idea becasue in all the US films... the cheerleaders are bitchy and mean and I was never like that!!

I look back on 1981 to 1987 with the fondest of memories... totally had the best time!!

 

[angel fingers]

liked school till i got to upper school. then sudenly i seemed to have very little in common with other kids. not sure if that was because i was more mature than them or if they were more mature than me, we just seemed to be on different levels.

i was pretty good at academic subjects and very good at art. i was c-ap at sports, the games teacher sometimes used to let me mend the netball vests or paint the rounders posts. when i had the other nasty games teacher i used to forge notes to prevent my humiliation.
i was the girl who always got picked last, it was excruciating. the girl who got picked second last was the fattest girl in the school and even she was better at sports than me. out of that though we have forged a life long friendship and still see each other regularly even though we are 30 years older.

i wanted to be an art teacher at school and i eventually acheived my goal but having moved on to nails and bing a trainer i am happier still.

 

[adelekeegan1]

I went to a very old fashioned girls only grammar school that was totally academic. There was art and pottery and domestic science but they were looked down on. You were expected to work hard, go to university and go off and become a doctor, nuclear physicist or something similar.

I rebelled (well it was the 60s) and ran with other rebels (some of them made me look really tame and conventional) I got out after 'O' levels all prepared to convert the world to hippydom and it was suddenly the 70s

Then I grew up and became the sensible person I am today:green:

 

[MINKUS]

Then I grew up and became the sensible person I am today:green:

i was bullied (now everyone say AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH:green

I was VERY popular with the boys (no not a slapper either!) and so....the 'girls' didnt like it so much!

And its emtionally scarred me for life ....NOT:green:

I had the opportunity to do well at school handed to me on a plate but...i bummed out. If only i knew then what i knew now hey !
