i wasn't popular, but i hung out with the popular kids lol. if that makes sense.

I hung out with the popular kids in middle school. And then realized I didn't want to be friends with people who are constantly talking behind each other's backs. When I started high school, I was hanging out with band geeks instead. So no, I wasn't popular. But I was much happier being friends with non popular people.

I wasn't "popular" as in I wasn't included in the "in crowd." However, I had a lot of different groups of friends. I had close friends in 4 or 5 different groups in my high school. They ranged from the "soccer girls" (2 of those friends were my roommates through college and my bridesmaids) to the "weird/smart kids" (one of my very best friends now who I've known since 2nd grade and...DH :)).

I hung out in the "popular" crowd in middle school, then randomly got "banned" from their table at the cafeteria. I still stayed friends with a couple of the girls... and by the time we got to high school - I was on good terms with all of them. I'm sure it hurt at the time, but in my vague recollection, it only changed me for the better. In high school, I was friends with all different people in different groups and I vowed that I'd never shun anyone away for wanting a friend. I think I lucked out in having a pretty normal, easy ride in high school as far as the social scene.

I hung out in the popular crowd ... but there were only 100 kids in my high school... so if you were an athlete you were in the popular group.. if you werent athletic you were in the other group.

Not really, nor was I really concerned about it. I hung out with people from varied groups and yes, some of them were the "popular" kids but I was by no means popular myself.

I was goth, and did theater, orchestra and choir. My good friends were mostly guys and they were almost all nerds and skaters and outcasts. You know what? DH and I met because of them and we are still friends with a lot of them years later. I feel like I made the right choice.

I wasn't popular but I do think I was well liked. I graduated with only 56 people though so everyone knew and talked to everyone else.

I hung out with some of the popular people during the school day but never was a part of the parties and such they did outside of school.

Popular enough. I wasn't prom queen or anything, but I was known and very involved. I was friends with that crowd, went to those parties, hung out with those boys. I had a lot of fun in high school, so it worked out.

i was popular, but in a "people loved to hate me" kind of way. i am sure all 4 thousand kids knew who i was, but i really only had 3 or 4 friends.
unfortunately, i was your stereotypical high school girl....blonde, thin, cheerleading captain, senior class president, homecoming queen, and valedictorian. i made some friends through being so involved, but most of the student body probably just wanted to throw up on me.
looking back, i wish i didn't try so hard.

I wasn't prom queen/cheerleader popular, but my best friend was. And my husband (varsity football captain) was, as well. I wasn't all about being the center of attention,, and I've never been one to try and get to know everyone, so I think I came off as more stand-offish. I was involved in a lot of clubs, though, and I also had no problems hanging out with the oddballs/stoners/surfers. I think that left me in an odd spot because I didn't fit nicely into a category.
