If you had it to do over again...

It's High School, Adult Style.

You are your current self, yet find yourself trapped in a giant High School called "Boston". You must conform or have your books endlessly dumped by members of the other bloodthirsty social circles. What group do you socialize with?

I was an athlete (field hockey, swimming), was in the band (played French horn...and I played piano independently...then I quit the band after an argument with the director when a concert conflicted with a swim meet), I read a lot of science fiction, had a jock boyfriend who appreciated good music (but couldn't play an instrument), and liked cats, but I saw pretty much every metal band that came to the Worcester Centrum in the '80s (mainly because his best friend's father owned Out-Of-Town tickets and we basically just went to everything because we could. I graduated in '84). I was on the fringe of every social group yet part of none of them. And if I had to do it over, I'd probably still do it the same way.

I think, (I'm not positive) that I'm one in what is one of the smallest "generations" on record, and that as a result we lacked this sort of social order. The average class size was 16 and in four years it dwindled to 12. So, while I don't see myself in any of them; I've been in all of them.

I think that, as a mature adult (I'm assuming here), you would not see yourself fall neatly into a category, but this is a hypothetical, highly segregated High School where you fit into a group, or languish in wedgieville. Now pick! Edit: I should have included the disco/rap crowd. You know, the Toyota driving, tight shirt wearing, ecstasy swallowing, dancing crew. I apologize for forgetting you.

But I'd definitely actually attend school, pay attention in class and get better grades.

Group: Members - Basic Posts: 6,739 Joined: May 24 04 Member No.: 2,815	I played soccer, hockey, and baseball. But never hung out with the cool kids. I was more into riding my dirt bike or going to shows. I got okay grades - As Bs and Cs. Didn't really fit in anywhere @ the catholic HS I went to.
