yeah was just wondering if you did something that made you popular in High school

mine would be when i was in a field trip and sat right beside a hot girl at the bus and some kid spread rumors about me and her french kissing and did something else, we were 14 at the time..so it was a big deal...so monday morning I went to school and as soon as i entered the class everybody started applauding and all the kids my age thought it was cool..LOL.

One more time is when i was tagging in the bathroom and got caught , and got supended for a day. news spread about it they thought it was funny.

Football team. Wrestling captain. Class Vice President. And a 347rwhp 340rwtq Camaro. The last one was a panty-dropper.

Umm... my mom working at my high school, my upfront boldness won/is winning me infamy, my friends in "high" places, my chivalry, trying for ASB and making a sweet video alongside that (and winning), my sense of style, etc.

A lotta things.

:P

But it's overrated.

Nothing at all to make me popular. Every time i see the "popular kids" i feel a deep rooted hatred buried inside me. So i'm known as "the freak that tried killing himself" JOY

I ran (and lost) for cIass president against the popular douchebag. I was like a voice for the slightly less popular.

Not like I did things intentionally, I did them because I felt like it. Some people know me as "the guy who rode a table down the stairs". However people like me (I assume) because I got a quick wit so I can often give good responses on the spot and I am generally considered to be funny, albeit a bit weird due to my taste in film, music and literature (the last one is stupid considering reading Dune or The Picture of Dorian Gray is considered "weird").

Grades mixed with "apathy" ... I'm cynical about everything in school, yet everyone knows me for getting a 100% avg. four out of twelve marking periods. Also, sarcasm to the point that some people don't believe a word I say. :(

Why try to become popular? Chances are you won't see those people in the next ten years.

She speaks the truth. It's overrated and pointless. I am who I am, and I'm popular for it. Whoop-de-freaking-doo. :P

That happened to me too. the cockiest mother***** in the school challenged me to a fight(it was friendly) and I ended up pounding on him. He had a good 30 pounds on me. I got a pat on the back for that.

I wasn't popular in HS, most of the people there were pretty fake if you ask me. I have made a bunch of really good friends in college though.

Popularity is overrated anyways, nobody cares about that stuff after HS

Yeah, well his forearm was about as big as my thigh. He was THE JOCK, his dad and my dad used to powerlift together and I guess he took after his dad and started using the steroids. But this guy was a beast, but he's a pansy and I showed him up.

[QUOTE="Arctic_Grillz"] yes but there is nothing wrong being popular. But trying to be popular......is no good.

Then why ask why the person refused to be popular? He didn't want to be popular. That was the person's choice. There might be nothing wrong with being popular, but people try to be your friend so that they CAN become popular themselves, then leaving you once they are popular. Also, there might end up being more rumors about the person that is popular and having the person being looked at differently than if they weren't.

Maybe its just me but hated or loved - I will be remembered. I know I have left my mark. More lovers means more haters too - but either way, they have me in their heads and in their memory... I have made an impact of some sort in their life and that's far better than someone saying "WHO?!" and have one fade into obscurity.

I wasn't technically in the "popular crowd" but I was popular in my own way. :P I was known as the preacher boy who did well in school, could draw well, and was captain of the robotics team. I pretty much got along with everyone, I just did not intentionally seek to be popular.

I existed. Honestly, I dunno what made me popular, and I certainly didn't try to be, being the guy who considers LAN parties an amazing saturday weekend and spoke in the most dull voice you can imagine (see ben stein for reference) but people liked me. I suppose just talk to people, and don't be a jerk.

But that's in one area. Just because you "fade" in one area, doesn't mean you're nonexistent when you live somewhere else. That just doesn't follow you forever. And memories can be as easily as forgotten as a face or a name.

Because I wanted to know his reason. the people who I hang out with the first day of HS were still the same people who I hang out with on the last day of HS.

I hear you. Like I said, popularity just happened in high school and I have some awesome memories. But then I look at some people (friends is too strong a word) who LIVE in the last 2 years of high school, letting that being their crowning glory in a pithy existence. Better to be a slow burner than a flash in the pan.

I was very quiet, but for whatever reason turned heads. I heard things about myself through the grape vine, nothing bad, but still laughable. I was never motivated to be popular and by some people's standards I may not have been, which is fine by me. I still kept a low profile (i.e. avoided chatting it up on facebook/didn't have a myspace, or give my number out at the whim my peers seemed too) A lot of people came to know who I was when I started throwing parties. A friend of mine originally hosted them at his house, but there was a situation and we had to relocate...

I was a ghost in high school, people would never recognize me even after school. 8 months into my senior year, the teacher called out my name and a couple of students asked who it was. These were small classrooms, too. Middleschool, I was semi-popular for beating up some 8th grader when I was in 6th grade.

It depends on the person whether they are going to forget the memories or not.

why refuse to be popular?

i dont want the attention of others, especially during high school. to me, it is irrelevent during that time.
