Were you popular in school?

Absolutely not. I was a total loser.

there was no point in being popular at my school.

lol, i keep getting ignored because I was the most "perverted" one, if you can say that.

When I was in high school I wasn't popular in the typical sense of 'popular,' especially in the way we think of the term today in the context of high school.

I think I was different from every one else and that kind of made me stand out a little more.

I'm glad I wasn't 'popular' because I found that, the people in the 'popular' group were comprised of no-brains, who were aren't going to make it far in life, lol.

I love you 38 people who also said no ♥

Nope, I never saw the point of popularity. The popular people were normally the drama of the school anyway. They normally only cared for themselves.

I was for sure a quiet one but I had my own group of friends and still love them when its been 4 years since high school.

haha I've always been voted shyest female. ^.^

The last day of my senior year a few people told me they thought I was a popular snob who didn't talk to them because I thought I was too good for them.

I told them the truth when I said that I was socially awkward and was too shy to talk to many people. Yeah, they felt like shit afterwards.

So apparently I was popular with a pretty horrible reputation. And never knew it until the last day. Weird.

yes cause i liked fun and laughs i had friends but not everyone liked me boo hoo to them

College: yes
School: not really. Didn't care for most people in my school. Most of us had wildly different interests.

I was overly popular. Not much of a snob but I almost always found ways to help other people.

complete loser

I'd have to rank myself as a likeable outcast. That is, back in Yr 7 and 8 i was pretty much an outcast, but I somehow(no idea) just started being accepted when people started associating with me, either because they were forced by school projects or were just ignorant of the social structure. Now I'm pretty firmly placed in the average spectrum.

I was popular and didn't know it

I don't truly know what most people think of me, it's slightly impossible to. Yet I do have a lot of friends at school.

I'm not popular, but everyone knows my name.. I'm shy. And I'm not a drama starter, so I have no enemies.

There was no popular. Everyone knew someone, but nobody was known by everyone.

I'm probably an outcast, seeing as rarely talk unless someone speaks to me or I need something from someone. Though I'm not akward about it when I do talk. But I give zero fucks about popularity anyway, so it doesn't actually matter to me where I am on the chain, as long as people don't try screw with me.

Freshmen through Junior year I was well liked and my name was known for little more than being the skinny kid who acts really awkward and awful at sports. Senior year I was one of the key players on my wrestling team (huge sport in my high school unlike many others) and I got short lived 'true' popularity for the remainder of the season.

For the most part though people just knew me because they thought I was funny (in a bad way).

Oh how times have changed!

Everyone knows my name, but I know almost no one's name. People think I'm just being a douchebag, but my anxiety has kept me from keeping in touch with old friends as well as striking up a conversation with a potential new friend sometimes. I would say I have a million acquaintances, a good number of friends, and next to no close friends. I also have a problem with recognizing when someone is my friend, and asking for help, to be touched, to spend time together, etc. I look at myself as being alone, and that person and I have to pretty much be conjoined at the hip for me to consider them to be even a friend. With that being said, my judgment of my own popularity probably isn't very accurate.

I was never in with the popular crowd, but most people knew me because I had a reputation of being the smart, quiet, good girl. Some people wrongly interpreted that as meaning 'snob'.

I was NOT popular.. I was the complete opposite..

At the school I went to, the lunch tables had 14 seats........ when I went there... I had one of those tables completely to myself.. nobody wanted to sit with me.. I'd offer to let people sit with me, but no one wanted to.. I always thought there was something wrong with me, but I later found out that they didn't sit with me because rumors were spread that were COMPLETELY not true, so the school pretty much hated me.. I was the biggest outcast, and unfortunately, it hurt my self esteem a great deal and I'm still dealing with it now... 6 years later..

So, was I popular? Well.. everyone knew my name..? Everyone knew what I looked like..? So... in a sense, I was kinda popular... just not in the way I wanted... =/

Depends on what you mean by popular. If you mean well known and generally seen in a positive light, then yes. If you mean someone social with lots of friends, then no.

i quit middle-school when i was 16teen because i could not spend another year in the retarded-class i can't take the shit that gos on in thos classes plus i didn't want to stay in the same class-room for another whole year and then the next year i would have to i was never popular in school i was the dumb-ass

Not in the least. I was an introverted, loner and misanthrope. I had a few friends and a boyfriend, but other than that, people didn't want to talk to me, nor did I want to talk to them :-P

Does it count if you were popular for being the biggest outcast? Bwahaha. Small school, thats how it went.

All of the above. I have gone to 10 schools in all from elementary to high school. At some I was very popular, in others I was an outcast, then I was just average, and now I'm homeschooled.

I was and still am a geek. I got all A's in school, and was tortured for being smart. I was stuffed in my locker, had wet paper towels thrown at me while i was using the restroom, and constantly bullied. I despised school. My life was a living hell.

No. But I preferred it that way cause I don't think I'd have wanted to be part of the other so called cliques. Far too superficial and bitchy.

Well-known, but not exactly popular. Have a medium-sized group of friends, about 10 people, none of whom like to talk to people we don't know very often. We pride ourselves on having our own individuality and enjoy the fact that we only fit in well with each other. It's like having our own secret club. I love my friends.

I digress; I'm not popular, but everyone knows my name and face even if I've never heard of them, seen them or spoken to them. I'm too shy to be popular. I stand out because I'm quiet and weird, but don't have popularity for the same reason. I always disagree strongly with popular people who try to bring me into their circles; I keep away from popular people because whenever I see popular people I see destroyed personality and no individuality. I wouldn't want to be popular.

To the OP: I'd advise against using IIN as a part of a sample for any sort of research; we are not very representative of the world at large :)

Quite a bit of people made friends with me, even thought girls don't like me. I didn't make friends with anyone, they all just kind of accumulated. I've always had an indescriminate taste for people-I don't notice individual differences-so I ended up making friends with all of the chollos (as a result, the cholitas never bothered with me) and I lived in a ghetto neighborhood and made friends with most of them so people just didn't mess with me.

I was well known and well liked by most, but that was cause i think people respected that i was always just myself and never tried to be anything more then what i was.

Everybody knew my name, but I didn't necessarily know all of theirs... Most people, if they got to know me a little bit, found me likable I think. I pretty much did my own thing though. High school was not my best time in life and I didn't enjoy it a whole lot.

In two of my Highschools I was well known. I couldn't be bothered after those two times of trying to climb up the social ladder anymore.

I had a chance to become popular in my last hoghschool I was in, but there was someone else that was far more interesting to know than the popular gang in the highschool. Turns out I made the right choice, because we were the ones doing all the things that the popular people claimed they were doing to act cool. Should of seen their faces when I made sure a few of them got the negative sides/consequences for the things that we done that they claimed to do.

Turns out that alot of the popular people nowadays are boring douchebags that try to take credit for things they didn't do just to feel cool about the things they'd never do.

eh... semi-popular im not friends with the girls who are really creepy... everyone else was my friend. never been in a fight...
