Yeah, it really sucks. I am one of the shyest people on the planet. If I'm around people I don't know, I just automatically clam up and when I do talk, nothing above a whisper comes out. So people think I'm really snobby.

Sometimes if I'm really nervous a whispers comes out and yeah it's not real nice to be called "The girl that doesn't talk" when I do talk but just not much. It really gets on my nerves but I don't have a real miserable time I just don't really pay attention to them. I'm not snobby or anything or something I don't even know if they think that because I really don't care much. I mean sometimes I care. Well I did get better I used not talk very much like in 5th grade, I was real quiet then and I am still now but it's improved, 6th got better. You kind of have to know that you really shouldn't be real quiet or people will start thinking bad things about you and things will be not good. After 5th grade, which I hated I wanted to change so I started doing that. I made two new friends and they are nice and I have one best friend and we have been friends since 2nd grade. After school was over I went to a fun program, for a month that you can pratice your instrument and learn more things. It was an Enrichment Program not summer school or a special help thing. I went there and I made a new friend too bad she's going to the other middle school in my district, which is the better one.

Lorelai: Well, I want to be in the Bangles, but that doesn't mean I quit my job and get a guitar and ruin my life to be a Bangle, does it?
Max: The Bangles broke up.
Lorelai: Yeah, that's not the point.
Max: Well, that's got to be part of the point if there's no band any more.

I guess I am in-between I have alot of friends. I have a big mouth and I love to talk. But in all honesty I don't care what people think of me.

I'm in between. I know a lot of people popular and unpopular, but most of the popular ones are like my associates(sp i think) and most of my real friends are the non-popular ones.

yinz guys are all quiet losers lol haha school is waaaaaaay more fun if u are loud.like in math class my teacher jus talks the whole so i'm bad in that class and I act up and throw my book bag off my desk and fall outta my seat and throw pencils at my teacher just so people will laugh and have a fun time in math class.If it wasnt for people like me then school would suck who would be there to cause scenes and get in trouble and make class pause while u get yelled at. IM ALWAYS GETTIN YELLED AT,AT SCHOOL!Its fun for me and otha people think its funny...

Like in band lol I get kicked out EVERY day and Mr.Riffle would sit and yell at me 4 five minutes and everybody would clap because I made them lose 5 minutes of class and it makes them happy.Like when me and my cousin Jessie got kicked outta band 4 a week he spent a whole day tellin the class not to do what we did or they will join us in ISS.People even pass me notes and ask me to get kicked out because it is boring!


so if school was overpopulated with quiet people then who would make people laugh and enjoy school?

Maybe we would actually get things done. It's people who ALWAYS get in trouble that really tick me off. Take history last year. My class was filled with the biggest troublemakers in my school. We didn't get our curriculum finished. We got through everything up to the Civil War. Ninth grade history starts with reconstruction after the Civil War. Hmmmm, guess what big even in history I know NOTHING about? All I know is the North won. Because of people like you. I'm sure you're very nice and I'm not putting the knock on the actual person... just the behavior.

am i a trouble maker? tough question... im too big of a suck up to get in trouble for whatever i do but last year i only got one detention and that was for chewing gum

but im a "rebelious prep" according to my friends, i was always getting kicked out of chrous in 6th grade but i dont mess around in normal subjects only electives

even though i did my share of messing around in electives i A- G.P.A., people at first think i am dumb a$$ cuz of chrous/ceramics but im not

but even when i do something wrong in a regular class most of my teachers have a blind eye for it, like i came in 15 minuets late and i was accused and someone had come in before me and got busted

Well, it depends. Because popularity in high school does exsist, but it's not the same popularity that exsists in middle school or junior high.
Like, I have have a lot of aquintences(sp?) from all different "cliques" ( God, I hate that word), but I really only hang out with a few select "best friends".
In middle school, you had to like the same things, listen to the same music to be in one group. You could never venture into another group who dressed differently than you and so on.
But now, nobody really cares about that anymore. Which is great! As long as you have a good attitude, and a few things in common with a person, you can be friends with anyone. Oh, and a sense of humor. That's a good thing too to have.
So, in that sense, I'm pretty 'well-known' in my grade. Enough to start campaigning for "Biggest Clutz" in the Senior Hall Of Fame the year after this. Woo-hoo! Vote for me! *slips on wet floor, sending schoolbooks hurtling everywhere* See, I'm getting a headstart already!

[KerriBerri687]

ok...my school is sooooooo cliquey (lol sp?) itz not even funny. we have like..such groups that people r just put into without their knowledge. there r so many groups...and they rank...like my school feels some people in school are beneath some people and it really ticks me off but o well. im a quiet person around strangers....but when you get to know me i'm really loud. im no trouble-maker. heck..i've never even gotten detention be4! im pretty shy and try to get good grades and all that. but in my school im considered to be in the lower middle group. dont even ask. ugh my school is so annoying with all the cliques and all that.

Wow... that was better than what I got. I received "Most likely to become a Rock Star - Female" and "Most likely to be arrested before 5 year reunion". I was high up on the yearbook staff, so I changed the page in the yearbook with the "Most" categories to read the most popular was "most bitchy". The stupid publisher caught it though after it went to press and called the teacher. Luckily I had already graduated, because he was pissed!

Eh, I'm pretty popular....

Hey, getting "Most Likely to become a Rock Star" isn't bad. Not bad at all. The "Most Likely To Be Arrested" one...tough luck on that one.
Too bad about the publisher catching your "typo". But lucky you already graduated!

Well, I was 1 for 2 by my first reunion. Too bad it was the wrong 1

This is true of college too. Even more so. As you get older, the concept of "popularity" dwindles to the point that it doesn't even really exist anymore.

Ok, everyone here who is quiet like me in school - do people think you're stuck up cuz you don't talk that much? I mean, I keep to myself and I rarely talk and people think that I act like I'm better than them, like I'm too good to talk to them. That's sOoOo not true though.

Hey, I know what that feels like. I am actually pretty shy and not talkative around people I don't know....in that I usually will not start the conversation at least...once it gets going I'll usually join in....but anyway, yeah, my freshman year in the dorms I wasn't really friends with alot of people on my floor (though I had friends on other floors) because I just didn't have that much in common with them, and on the last day of school, this one girl and me are by the elevators and she goes "So...why don't you ever, like, talk?" I was like..."I dunno, cause I'm pretty shy." She kind of laughs under her breath and goes "Oh. I just thought it was because you were a bitch." I was shocked b/c I didn't know that people thought that way. I never think like that when I encounter a shy person, I just think they are shy.

And I could be wrong, but in reality, I don't think very many people think like that. Most people probably just ignore shy kids or think that they are shy. I honestly believe that the people who think you are a snob just because you're shy are the kinds of people that have issues and insecurities with themselves.

I never really had the chance to be unpopular OR popular. For most of my time in school up till high school, I went to small private schools

But I went to a small public college and I was pretty well-known in the dorms
