Which group at school do you feel most accepted in?

Post Reply New Topic

I am a loner/geek/skater?/metalhead/goth/industiralite/hippy/punk/anarchist. Do not know where I stand. But definately not rapper or chav. Definately not.

I kinda was in two groups. The Academics and the oddballs. One of our group called us The Chocolate Chips in the Muffin known as school.

Without the us, ChocChips, then school, the muffin, would be boring...

i was in a gang of one - me. can't say as it bothered me at the time. not hugely.

am still in a gang of one. sigh. /me sings, a la tammy wynette...

"sometimes it's haaard
to be a weirdo..."

Never really struggled to fit into groups in high school. I think i was lucky to have been classed with kids i was always on good terms with in my area. Collage was a different story, kinda felt like i didn't belong and felt a lone at times mostly during break times & lunch, during lesson's i'd get along with most foik.

You can't be in a gang of one. You a member of WrongPlanet, and that's a gang of about 1000+

Yeah... school is bad that once youve gotten used to everything you grow away from your mates and stuff. i ended up in a different group with my boyfriend which was fine until i got sick of their continual criticism of me, and left them, to go back to my original friends who had forgotten about me but "accepted" me.. then to find both groups merging together and me cast out on my lonesome. they tried to convince me to come back.. but i dont think they ever really understood why i refuse.

There wernet any Goths or Nu-Metallers when I went to school. I am glad. I would hate to have to be a teen now.

It's kind of hilarious to see some people at my school; there are some kids who think that they are gangsters (some call them wannabe gangsters). They try dressing and acting like gangsters, but they don't do a very good job. I never quite understood why some guys pull their pants down far enough to see their boxers; I'm a girl, and I don't like seeing that type of things in guys, but perhaps that is only me because I'm a nerd/jock/loner/bandgeek, plus an aspie. What if there was a wannabe aspie? I wonder what they would be like

I never really had a group, I enjoyed walking around with just me and my best friend in secondary school (primary school ages 4 to 11, secondary school ages 11 to 16 and 6th form is ages 16 to 18, anything after this comes into the 'adult education' section, you can leave school at 16. This is for anyone who doesn't know the english system.) I had one or two prep or trendie friends, I had a few skater friends and then my best friend. The trouble was people have never likes me or the way I dress, I like the 'gothic' clothes and corsets, I also listen to black and symphonic metal which nobody but me there liked.

Afterwards I would hang out with others older then me because I fit with them better, my boyfriend is 2 years 5 months older than me and I fit with people his age much better than people my own because people my own are so immature and wont grow up.

Group at school lets see..........

The ME group. I don't belong to any group. Never have, never will. Never really have felt accepted in a group. Just me walking around skewl alone. I don't feel lonely at all. I talk to myself which keeps me company. Its better that way in my opinion. I don't wear anything but plain shirts and plain sweat pants and hang around myself unlike the other people who desperately try to fit into groups by wearing a certain kind of clothes, listening to a certain kind of music, etc.

I've never liked trying to fit into popular groups at school; I think if someone wants to always keep up with the new trends (like fashion trends) they are wasting their money, since those trends change so fast. I always liked fitting into groups that require being myself. For some people, that means fitting into the Electronics Club, the Knowledge Bowl, the Cheerleader Group, the Band, or even having yourself as a group. There are many kinds of groups out there that nearly anyone could fit into.

oh my god - i'm in a gang??! !! !! !!

pah - everyone here hates me, anyway... (well, someone's got to do it, now that malc's gone ).

Ugh... I dislike people being down on themselves...

I kind of have two groups. There’s the quiet, hard-working, high-achieving kids, whom I usually hang out with because I too am quiet, though I’m neither hard-working nor high-achieving. Then there’s the cool kids (indie music, cannabis, etc.), whom I hang out with sometimes because- well largely because one of them took a liking to me a while back, for some peculiar reason of her own.

Both are easy on me socially. The quiet kids for obvious reasons, and the other bunch because they mostly just lie around killing time and don’t expect much from you in terms of conversation. All I have to do to keep them happy is make a sarcastic remark from time to time. They enjoy my sarcasm simply because I’m the last kid you’d expect to be sarcastic. The Amazing Barking Mouse.

In personality and outlook I’m closer to the cool bunch. In habits I’m closer to the quiet studious bunch. In interests I’m close to neither, but oh well.

Social status was never an issue for me and over the years I spent a lot of time on my own being called "the quiet one" or "the nerd". It never actually got to me that much and I guess I grew up pretty unique because of it. Something changed this year in school though and some people started talking to me whithin the space of a few months I became some one that everyone said hello to when I walked into the room. ( Well everyone is an exaggeration, maybe about five people but it's a big increase on before.) I found it kinda overwhelming but it's nice to have some nice friends.

Anyway to answer the topic creators questions, I'm in the freak group, damn proud of it too, no one else in my year seems very interesting.

I would have to say all the Disabled people I always hang out with them at lunch.
