What were you in school?

this, except I didn't refuse to play football I refused to play Rugby and listened to the Manics instead of the Specials, oh and I didn't lose my virginity till I was 16, so I doubt that applies.

Basically we weren't nerds and we didn't like the 'popular muppets'. I learned to be quite lippy in school because basically when you're a short arse fenian at a prod school who didn't start puberty till you are about 16 you have to be or you'd have cunts on your back all the time.

I was both a 'hippy' cos listened to metal since I was 13 but also good at sports (football and basketball) and I knew how to tell people to go fuck themselves so basically never got shit from anyone really, not a single fight, though knew who to steer clear of (Divis Hoods, Turf Lodge Hoods, Twinbrook Hoods, Poleglass Hoods, A-Town Hoods)

But aye, I liked school, was pretty good at it and even thoughI found lessons themselves boring, I liked most subjects. Christian Brothers school.

I was white.
I was smart enough to not have to do any work so spent most of my time being as much of a gobshite as I could get away with.
I became cool in sixth form college because there were lots of middle class white people, it came as a bit of a shock so I didn't really make the most of it.

Pretty much the same here, except I don't know what the fuck sixth-form college is...I went to high school in a real shitty small town and I didn't fit in with the other white kids because they had all grown up together and were into cowboy/western sorta stuff and I had been a nerd in the fullblown subcultural sense before moving into that district. I'm an odd duck in that I would mostly keep to myself and just read books in school because I was so bored...but I would also make lots of wisecracks and in classes where I had a few friends, keep a series of gags running gags, often at the teacher's expense...tbh, I couldn't restrain myself from blurting out inappropriate things at random times...still can't.

The best memory I have was during a pretty serious precalculus test, the teacher had put CNN on to follow the breaking coverage of the ever-so-popular and entertaining Iraq occupation. Suddenly the commentator said, "Now, reporting LIVE from SEYMOUR JOHNSON Airforce base..." Me and my good friend (another move-in who I think may be a genious) were literally rolling on the floor for five minutes which did not amuse our teacher (who had previously stated that she thought AIDS may be a good thing because it destroys sinful people and I freaking lost it on her).

The school was small enough, however, that I played pretty much every sport: varsity football and track starting in 10th grade because I worked really hard at it for some reason. I was one of the guys who, at halftime, would take his pads off, grab an instrument and play with the marching band (I got the 'best marcher' award in 10th grade...I was totally taken off guard and really wished that I had been a bit lazier so as to avoid the dubious honor.)

Then in 11th grade I dropped all that shit so I could graduate in 3 years (the coaches were pissed...and I ended up getting a full scholarship to a fancy-ass liberal arts college and thereupon I met rich people for the first time in my entire life. That was also the first time in a long time that I had been in a majority-white setting. Also I was 17, horrendously awkward and lived in the worst, least accessible dorm on the campus...I think one of us got laid that year and he was raped literally against his will. It got better after that though.

Looking back, all the high school girls were just waiting for it and apparently a couple of them were screwing teachers and such. I had no idea they were even sexually active. Now most of them are pregnant and a slightly smaller number are married.

initially nothing in particular, then total nerd.
under my cousin's influence got to hang around with metalheads (it's weird that you call them 'hippies' in NI but essentially true) and drink moonshine in parks. Most of my nerd friends were in fact cooler than me as they also had the dough to be "hipsters;" most of my teachers loved me, which only spurred me to act like a total obnoxious twat in class (which earned me some meagre street cred, but mostly death threats).
I continue to be a nerd today, only at a completely different level.
FIN.

Fuck you were such a pious PC mother fucker when I first met you!

by my words you mean you said them in the high pitched indignant old lady voice?

which is your words, yes

eh eh I am interested in what your are saying wee girl *pushes glasses up in centre*

do a 'dead mans shoes' on them

no it's creeping on them in their house, putting lots of acid in their tea
then brutally killing them after torturing them and making them dance while they freak out
watch the film of the same name

Wait, whose the guy in the upper left? I don't remember him!!!

By the way, I was PUNX AS FUX!!!! (Which really means I was a nerd in middle school and desperately needed a way to rebel.) Also, I was pretty damn good at skateboarding.

our school was a holding pen until you hit 16 and could leave and get put on a YTS

i don't remember much about it, so can't really say who I was, pretty much exactly the same as everyone else there, bored, not interested, couldn't see the point, waiting around to leave, had no respect for the institution of education/school/learning etc.. that resulted in pretty much everyone being exactly the same in terms of attitude and type of person that was ultimately produced, there were no geeks or musos or swots or anything really

You can get out of school easily enough.
