when you were in school, what kind of a kid were you? nerd, shy, class leader, jock, bully or other.
i was probably say i was shy. didn't talk to many people unless i knew you.
@prettytoes Agreed, I had 'nerdy' friends and 'sporty' friends, though probably not at nerdy or as sporty as either. Seems a bit pigeon-holey for me to choose.
I do not fit into any category, so went with other, whuch pretty much sums up high school for me, I was an other.
I played water polo and swam, but swimmers didn't fit into the jocks group. I was not shy and knew just a out everybody in my class, but was never in the "in group", though I knew them all and was friendly with them. I took all the science classes, but was not a nerd. It was the 70s, so I "smoked" certain things, but was not a stoner. I definetely was not a bully as I got along with most everybody. I was not a leader, but prefered to lay low and did not appear in the first three yearbooks, but I could not get out of appearing my senior year. I worked in the background, and got the most ill-qualified person elect snior class president by running the most nefarious campaign I could.
High school was an interesting time, and I was glad to be done with it, and nearly everybody in it. I doubt I have talked to a dozen of my classmates in the nearly fifty years since, probably less than a half dozen. My 50th is next year, and I doubt I will go since I haven't been to any others.
I was much happier at uni and grad school.
Great topic. I was certainly nerdy tending to shy which has born out in the rest of my life. I tried to stay away from the bullies but that wasn’t always possible. Didn’t mind a couple of the jocks though - especially the quieter ones with long hair 😉 Well we all had lovely long hair in the 70’s. ❤️
I think there's a bit of a trend here. Nerdy and shy was what I was like seemingly many others here.
I was a very shy and quiet kid. Always felt being the ugly stupid one ashamed of my need to cross-dress. Sometimes I would take the bus to the central library to be alone and do my schoolwork. I liked it there because it was a very old building and loved the music section. I would find the sheet music to a piece and then follow along with a record or cassette in the libraries audio section. It was a very lonely time. No friends. Never really fit in. Got "used" a lot by so called friends. I loved being a girl in my alone time then hated myself for enjoying it so much.
What is a jock please. It obviously has a different meaning here across the pond.
Nerdy, but with a bit of sporty throw in for good measure.
If there was an interesting 'after school' science based club then I'd probably join.
I was a chameleon. I could fit in with the nerds, jocks, greasers and others. I never had real close friends. I went to school in one school district, Boy Scouts in another and church ion another. As a consequence I was never at any one place long enough to "fit in" with any group. I started dressing while in High School as a means of escape. I am on the shy side and usually linger on the fringes of groups as I don't really fit in with any particular group. Looking back it was an interesting life where I gained some knowledge in a lot of things but never became an expert at anything. I'm glad I found my tribe though - here I can be me and feel comfortable.

I was a shy jock who didn't want to be a jock. I was trying to find my way in life. Decades later, I am still trying to find my way.
I was shy and reclusive, got picked last in sports teams. I was bullied a lot around 12 - 13. I found it a struggle and developed anxiety issues as an adult later. Now I wonder if my dressing up started due to any of this because it first happened when I stayed in at 13. It was my escape. But no, I had these feels I felt I could not talk about at a much younger age and I had already developed a stammer at 8. I think all this is linked. I have grown out of issues of course but that scared boy comes back to me. I now find it hard wanting to go out in public as Sarah. I believe I am on the spectrum or something but not tested. But having the this self loving side is linked to me feminine side I believe.
I was a misfit and a target for bullies all the way through school, although some years were better than others. Fairly studious, with good results although not amongst the highest achievers, and not naturally gifted at any sports. Normally on the edge of social groups with only a few close friends. I was just .... different. There wasn't any sign of burgeoning femininity in that era of my life, that I can think of. My son's Aspergers diagnosis some years later did explain a lot about myself though.
I divide my experience in 2 age groups. Up to age 13 quiet, I did admire and want to dress as a girl and experience their friendship. Age 13 on looked on girls in Sexual manner. Become a football player, car racer and buried the desire to be female well into adulthood.
To all my sisters who posted here, I am so sorry for the unpleasant memories of your childhood. But, it has made you all lovely and articulate representatives for us today. Proud to call you all sister.🥰
Kind of shy and nerdy. I was one of those that gets picked last because no one believed in my abilities. When I demonstrated what I could do others were always surprised, especially in sports.
