A Question for Thought, since we already have Q of the D

I was in Orchestra and loved it!! I was in a lot of groups and activities including Softball, however I wasn't a good hitter at all.
I talked to ALL types of people and really took care of my friends. I was outgoing and weight wise about 100lbs heavier But i still did a lot and loved HS.

I was the art girl, but not like a freaky art girl. I took every art class there was and won awards. I wanted to go into something to do w/ art, but somehow got into the legal field after HS I had quite a lucritave business making and selling jewelry and painting storefront windows.

I dressed sorta preppy..I remember spending entire paychecks at JCrew on one sweater lol

I was friends w/ everyone..popular, middle and not so popular. I never really had one certain clique that I belonged to.

I was VERY shy. I had been a fatty fat in Jr. high but lost A LOT of weight in HS so I was not out of my shell yet.

I was a people pleaser then. Now, I could give 2 shitts if someone doesn't like me (its not like I ever give anyone a reason not to anyway)

I HATED gym clas but I was at Lucille Roberts EVERY day workng out. I was so not into sports except going to the occational school game.

We had too many 'bad' kids in my school that we werent allowed to have school dances b/c cops always got involved.

I always say that I really hope my kids are like DH and not like how I was in HS. I cut class and in trouble for stupid things like smoking on campus. I was friends with lots of different groups but I was known as a bit of a brat. I am happy to say that I have changed since HS. DH was the ultimate good boy jock

wow you and your dh and the same situation of how my dh and I were. I also hope my kids end up like him lol, he was also a good boy jock and too focused on that to do anything bad plus always got very good grades in school and did well.

Well i was smart too lol and had skipped a grade and in special programs but then HS really messed me up, and just got into bad crowds and doing things i shouldn't be doing. I regret it too bc originally i was supposed to go to St. Johns prep for HS, i went to orientation and everything, but then that summer towards the end I went away. Of course i ended up staying longer and my passport expired while i was there and didnt realize, it was actually a big mess to get a new passport overseas and all that. I had missed the deadline for payment to St. Johns and classes had already started, i even started my public HS a little late bc of it. ALl bc of that one little mistake how it changed everything, i think about that. I had said ill just apply for St. Johns prep next semester but then ended up staying in the public school since all my friends were there. St. Johns was alot more strict and you couldnt cut school or any of that. I wish i had never went away that summer bc then i wouldve gone there and wouldnt have gotten into all that trouble in HS.

we should make a thread posting pics of ourselves in HS, i gotta go digging to find some of my old ones and scan them though lol

---

OMG YES!!!!

i have some on FB! i don have shame and will post away!! lol

---

yeah i dont care either, i'd post them. Problem is finding some real good ones and by good i mean bad lol, like pics where i had real huge earrings and clothes on lol. For some reason those disappeared YEARS ago, i wonder if my mom hid them so nobody would see those pics of me anymore my friend has good ones, i need to get them from her and make copies, they are histerical.

---

heres some of mine....

i'm on the right: (freshman year)


i'm the one 3rd from the left:


and here i am on the right... @ my BF's house for her prom (we went to different HS's) WHY did i ever wear cut off shorts like this?!?!??!

---

awwww you were so cute, those pics arent bad at all. Ill have to look through boxes to find old pics

these are the 3 pics i have in my folders online and theyre not even that bad, i need the bad ones those are funny lol. First pic i was 15 and actually wore a skirt which was rare then lol. The other 2 i was 17. Holy crap look at that brown liner ewww lol

I was the skinny track girl (with babyish straight bangs) who had one best friend that I clung too. You never saw me without her. I was friendly with most people, but definitely stuck with the track girls...always running. I got picked on for being skinny and having no boobs too. Now I crack jokes about being so flat, I've finally embraced it

i have a scanner just gotta find the pics lol. Im afraid to see some pics and remember what i looked like lol. It did look so stupid, i dont know how we all thought it looked good

I was a dork lol....no but really I befriended anyone who was nice to me and had my group of friends but I really couldnt classify us...we certainly were not popular...but we were totally rejects (at least i dont think so lol) and i had friends in all different groups (i went to a big high school) I was pretty quiet in high school..i never really got into any trouble.. I always had my twin brother to support me haha and we used to sneak out of our house (and basically do nothing lol) and i def had my share of cutting class...i wasnt overly smart/athletic/ect... I was always the nice person who smiled a lot

Then I went away to college and became MUCH more outgoing (drinking helped that LOL)

but basically im the same person I was back then

i had a very eclectic group of friends i had friends in every kind of group there was......i was also a loudmouth and a punk - napolean complex i guess.....i even got into fistfights and liked kicked a$$ which is so the opposite of me now - omg i'd be so afraid to get into a fight these days - but back then i had serious anger issues i guess ....i was a big rebel, cut class, did bad stuff - i was a bad seed!
