[Bicoastal]

5. I was sometimes a Greak, sometimes a Gock...

...and occasionally I was a Frock.

[Pushed To The Left]

6. I was a nerd that didn't have any of the advantages of being a nerd

Basically, no social skills. I'm glad my teen years are over, even though there were some enjoyable times in there.

[Tikki]

7. Which one of those words means invisible?...

Tikki

[texanwitch]

8. None of the above.

I was a very bored kid who just wanted to get my GED and go to jc somewhere.

I hated high school.

I was to mature for high school.

[ghostsofgiants]

9. Skater kid.

Friend of the freaks and geeks, rival of the jocks.

[Aristus]

10. Geek.

I was the nice guy that all the girls liked, but didn't want to go out with...

Oh, and I played the tuba...

11. Replace the tuba with a skateboard and that sums me up, ahah.

[Jetboy]

12. Frock?

Most of my friends had some degree of both freak and jock.

[Iggo]

13. Geek on the way to Freak.

Even though I was in the Varsity Club. (Tennis.)

[enigmatic]

14. A geeky jock burnout

Seriously.

[rebel with a cause]

15. the holier than thou church kid

that hung out with the kids that no one else would accept. Did my own thing and didn't care about the masses. Pretty much a LONER!!!!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. New Girl...moved every year.

every fucking year.

oh well. anyway....at least I am not New Girl any more :)

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

17. geek in jr. high, freak in high school

not much difference in the two, other than learning to channel your frustrations into art

[ccharles000]

18. The very shy,chubby,gay guy

[handmade34]

19. Freak

[intheflow]

20. Freak and drama nerd.

I ran with two diametrically opposed crowds.

[bigwillq]

21. Jock (nt)

[NJmaverick]

22. geek

[Forkboy]

23. None of them and all of them.

I got along with all groups. Played sports but loved science, and I was weird, but not that weird.

[av8rdave]

24. Definitely a geek

[SoxFan]

25. All of the above

Played football and threw the shot put.

Played Dungeons & Dragons and traveller.

Was the kid who was into weird indy college radio bands.

[hippywife]

26. Freak all the way, baby!!!

Still lettin' my freak flag fly at 50.


But I'm also a geek because I love learning new stuff.

[Broken_Hero]

27. Of the three you listed

Geek, the Fat Kid Geek...:)

[Kali]

28. we had shit kickers too, but oddly I wasn't one of those

mostly freak - 80% with 20 geek.

[Richardo]

29. Band nerd

A phylum unto ourselves.

[Broken_Hero]

30. Which instrument did you play?

I was a clarinet player, from 6th grade through my HS years.

[Richardo]

36. French horn in orchestra, trumpet in marching band and jazz band

Haven't touched either since HS. :)

[tigereye]

31. geek

[AllenVanAllen]

32. A little freak, little geek

but not a definitely not jock. I kinda' did my own thing and was friends with a wide variety of people, smart kids the weird kids, and even the jocks. My close friends and I considered ourselves rock-n-roll rebels.

When I was a freshman I got in big trouble and was sent to a special disciplinary class for a month and when I came back I was actually more popular than before. I had girls who wouldn't give me the time of day before show interest once I was branded a "bad boy". Go figure.

[MineralMan]

33. Band Geek...

Even worse, an oboist.

Still, I got to be Drum Major. Why? Because I fit into the uniform, which was for a tall skinny guy. That's the only reason.

[old mark]

34. I tried to ignore High School as much as possible - Geek fer sher!!!

When I hung out, it was with a bunch of hot car guys
(This was the mid '60's) and we'd drive around town with about 5 guys in somebody's car and just listen to the radio and talk dumb shit. Kick in a buck each or so for gas, get half a tank in a '59 Pontiac V8 Bonneville. That was the best part of school - after.

I still hate school.

[PJPhreak]

35. My Screen Name says it all,

I've used this moniker since 1974.
I'm tall,thin,have long thick dark hair and wore "John Lennon" style glasses,
The car I drove in High School was a 68 VW Van.

I got accused of climbing out of a comic book a LOT!!

[Orsino]

37. Geek. n/t

[datasuspect]

38. gnarly, thrashing skate fucker

[Brother Buzz]

39. Freak jock

I played football, which was terribly unpopular, and politically incorrect at the time. My school had over 1600 students, yet our Varsity football squad could muster only 19 players. We did not even have enough players to practice a full scrimmage. We lost every game. Becoming a freak was a much more rewarding endeavor.

[blockhead]

40. considered a loadie

but was friends with most stereotypes.:smoke:

[CBHagman]

41. Geek.

We were called "straights," though (Not what you think, children), in my high school.

[Odin2005]

60. I thought the term was "squares".

:)

[Bunny]

42. There were nine of us in my group.

We were all stoners, further subdivided: jocks six, band nerd one, cheerleader one, and geek one. Any guesses as to where I fit in?

[Fire Walk With Me]

43. I was the weird one outside of those definitions.

And was given my share of abuse.

One of the abusers ran into me at my college dorm during a party. We partied and he apologized.

:thumbsup:

[semillama]

44. Freak here.

I was in high school in the mid-late 80s and I was the ONLY headbanger with long hair.

[femmocrat]

45. None of the above.

I was the all-around over-achiever, but not a geek. I was in lots of activities, gifted program, and had friends across all spectrums of the HS continuum. I loved HS.

[libnnc]

46. uber band geek

faculty called us the "Music Mafia" because we were all so serious and dedicated -- tight group

[begin_within]

47. We also had "stoner," "sporto" and "soch"

"Stoner" were those guys who hung around the back fence a lot, we suspected that they were smoking pot before school, but we never knew. They were kind of antisocial, but did not lack social skills like loners did.

"Sporto" was our term for "jock." "Girl Sporto" was kind of a nebulous euphemism for either tomboy or lesbian. "Queer" was used for effeminate boys.

"Soch" (short for "social") were those very popular girls who were either on the cheerleading squad or whatever, had lots of friends, were always giggling, and were usually going steady with a boyfriend by the time they graduated (and in the yearbook said they planned to marry him). "Soches" were well-known around the campus but kind of despised by the loner crowd.

Oddly, though, my high school seemed to hold nerds or geeks in high esteem, if they had high grade point averages, made the National Honor Society, or had some other academic achievement. They were not belittled or ostracized at my school.

[CBHagman]

68. There was overlap at my high school too.

I knew jocks and cheerleaders who were among the brainiest of my classmates and showed up in the AP courses. It's not that everyone was highly well-adjusted and free of stereotypes, but it just goes to show you...

[sakabatou]

48. Geek

[Fran Kubelik]

49. No ex about it.

I'm still a geek.

[davsand]

50. It was the late 70's. I was a "late bloomer."

You gotta figure that in the late 70's we were all chemical in some way--mostly booze but a lot of other stuff too.

I did the music thing and the theatre thing--so I was never really alone even if I was neurotic enough to think I was.

I never really hit my stride until I was in college, if you want the truth...

:shrug:

[struggle4progress]

51. Geek-freak. In my era, "freak" meant hippy as well as outcast: I hung around with

disaffected anti-establishment outsiders, and did well in math and science

[S n o w b a l l]

52. Freak

I wore torn jeans, peasant blouses & skipped school. That made me a freak.

[MrSlayer]

53. I played hockey, D&D and in a Metal band.

I got along with everyone.

[applegrove]

54. I was a jock in grade 9. I won most valuable player for our intramural team.

By the end of high school I was depressed and could only be called a very seemingly breakable person.

[Bennyboy]

55. FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAK!

[realisticphish]

56. Honestly, my school didn't really have that

We only had 150 people in my class, and the whole school had less than 600. Most people knew each other. There were cliques, of course, but not the rigidly defined ones that other people experienced. I was a band geek, for the most part, but I got along with everyone :shrug:

[Odin2005]

62. ONLY!?! We had 150 kids in our entire school!

:wow:

[realisticphish]

65. haha

considering that where i live now the local schools sometimes have 2000 in a class...

[Odin2005]

57. Geek and Nerd

I was the only high-functioning autistic in my entire little rural school, so that make the the resident archetypal nerd. :evilgrin:

[madrchsod]

58. mod-hippy

[Gormy Cuss]

59. Freak geek.

[JonLP24]

61. My own unique self

I never fit any stereotype of a freak, geek, or jock. Pretty the only labels were Preps, mormons, and skaters. Some of every group got good grade, played sports, or may have done unusual things and some were part of a group and did all 3(Grades, sports, freak things).

:shrug:

[martymar64]

63. I was a freak/stoner in the gifted program

I was a gifted child but had a chaotic home life so I became a stoner/freak. I got along with the geeks/nerds because I could talk to them on their level but I was generally at loggerheads with the jocks and the soches (except for the ones that I sold weed to). I went to a lot of the parties and had a girlfriend and my teachers generally liked me (again, the smart thing).

[distantearlywarning]

64. Freak on the outside, geek on the inside.

[Haole Girl]

66. I couldn't be labeled,

and I liked it that way.

Missed 21 days, my Senior year, to go skiing. lol

[DarkTirade]

67. 75% geek, 43% freak.

There's some overlap there, which is why it adds up.

[Unvanguard]

69. Nerd. But "geek" as the closest of the above. n/t

[Strong Atheist]

70. Nerd. nt.
