I was like the nerd popular freaky random recess-ish normal girl in elementary school.
Liked by normal guys, DATED normal guys, awesome at art, math,
loved recess. I really loved being in elementary school. MIDDLE SCHOOL is gonna be
another story..

oh yeah middle school, let's just say i was really awkward... and my eighth grade year was HORRIBLE. or so i thought. my grades were dropping, i lost my friends of 3 years... everything was spiraling out of control. and it was horrible. enough said.

i dont really like labels but i was and still am the martial arts nerd

I was talkative when you talk to me, but mostly I read books and ate alone etc. I answered a lot of the questions in class though.

Most people I've talked to have changed for the better since elementary school (guess why ._. )
The same has happened for me. In elementary school I was the silent one who barely talked to anyone. I only had two friends at one time, and I was often very sad.

Now I've been in 'efterskole' (something related to high school, where you live at the school) and there I learned a lot of social stuff, plus people there was much nicer.
I've definitely changed since and I'm really happy about that ^^

I was one of the 5-or-so non-white people at my school (in very rural West Virginia), so it was kinda hard to fit in. Plus, I was one of the minority who didn't think riding "four-whillers" and huntin' were the best things I could do with my time. I was really nerdy and only had like 3 friends. It didn't help that I won the county's Math Field Day thing 3 times and got the most points in the school in our A.R. reading program thing (that's just me throwing some bragging into here). So yeah, I was a Puerto Rican super nerd in a rural school.

I was the bullied loner with the shoddy grades and with a grand total of five or so friends (at least in the last elementary school I went to. I moved at least three times during my elementary school years). We were all young and stupid back then, so I (kinda) forgive the people who did that to me. Of course, this had a profound effect on my social life, and now I'm too shy to talk to people unless I have a friend with me. |D

Thankfully I moved in the seventh grade to where the people are much nicer (though there are a few mean people), and I'm now thriving and going into my junior year. <33

heyhey o.o i guess i was quiet and had like one friend (still is, never betrayed a FRIEND as in friend) o.o who ws a year older. a few years later i made another friend who convinced me i shld sing in front of a crowd... xD... she was a friend as in friend too... ^^ i was picky ^^; but no one ever 'betrayed' me so i guess i was good with picking my friends ^^ and with the class piece for when you leave ur first school to get into ur teenage life.. i guess i kind of changed then o.o i sang becuz i had the role of the 'diva'... and i was pretty good at it ^^ so i at my first year high school (new class new people) i sang too... and i exceeded at arts.... so i made some friends.... from the normal or outcast kids... and im good friends with the teachers... but our teachers are nice so i dont get bullied or anything... lucky~~ ^^ so from quiet and almost unknown i became the nice girl you can talk to who dares to sing in front of a crowd
thnk you Laura and Dara, you helped me show myself ^^

Elementary school? Well, I never was the bully. I was the showpiece good girl (bootlicker, some might say ;) ) hanging out with the bullies. I don't know why, but despite being small, thin and sickly I somehow managed to actually put them under control and keep them out of trouble. :D

I don't even know where I took the self confidence back then, for later in my teens I developed the self esteem of your average door knob. But in elementary school, I had no problem with (if the situation required it) beating up those guys twice as large as myself to keep them from getting themselves and others into trouble. Completely crazy. :sweat:

Nowadays my self confidence is still somewhere below average, but I still think it's okay the way it is. At least I don't have to beat up anybody anymore. ;)

nerd, i guess. actually, i'm in 7th grade now, so i'm still sorta nerdy. lol and when i was little, i was a crybaby, but i didn't get made fun of. i had one friend who i actually hung out with each year. i moved several times, so i didn't get to keep all of my friends close. and a nerdy clumsy book worm dosn't make a good first impression, you know? currently, i hav like 2 close friends i actually talk to, and my internet friends. i don't think i'm a complete nerd though. i'm just smart and have glasses, and soon i'll have braces, which won't help. people judge by appearance way to much, if you ask me. i don't even wear the glasses, or at least almost never.

I was a loser then and I'm still a loser now.
Not much as changed.
xD

Definitely the crazy. Kids would like to tease, but they always stayed back to a point. Almost everyone thought I was scary weird, and bad things happen to those who pissed me off. But now I just let it slide, people are older now, and more mature. They know how to actually joke without being mean. So taking revenge isn't always the best option to make friends.

I was weird quiet kid with no friends. People picked on me ALL the time and still do. Once in fifth grade I was on the little jungle gym thing with the fake rocks and I happened to have a large plastic bucket with. Now almost everyone knew my mom was dead and frequently asked me if it was true. Then a group of kids came up to me and told me that they were glad my mom was dead, and of course I got angry and began beating them with the bucket. Until the teacher ran over and broke up the fight. But strangely, after the teacher spoke to my dad and told him what happened and why he was proud of me.

At the beginning of elementary, I was the crybaby. I soon became one of the popular kids. However, somewhere around third grade, I kinda had a falling out with some of that group, so I befriended the loners. Yet, I still maintained a good relationship with my old friends. I was in a curious position then. I quite possibly had the best insight on the most people in my school. The popular kids knew a lot of people, but only knew of each other. The same went for the loners but on a smaller scale. I was one of the few people that actually knew everybody.

It's funny. I definitely do not have that privileged position now.

I was the overachiever, everyone in my elementary school, or most kids in my class at least were overachievers, smart, booksmart, anything of the sort, but we were in a "fundamental" school. I didn't understand what that meant until I went to a non-fundamental school and felt like the smartest kid in school.

I think in elementary school i felt that the only thing i had was school, i was competing with my brother in a way. He could play every sport well, draw amazing, pick up a controller and easily beat a video game. Although what was important to my parents was school and getting amazing grades and doing amazing, what my brother did was amazing, and thats probably why he was my best friend when i was younger.

I was an overachiever in everything, i tried and because i couldn't do well in anything i submerged myself in education, education and being intelligent is everything or a lot to me because thats all i could do when i was little.

As for the overachieving what i mean is i was a very busy kid. Especially in the later years in elementary school. I spent weeks writing stories, I volunteered my time during lunch and after school for the just say no program and our sign language helpers program. When i was younger i could fluently sign and helped yard duties during lunch and recess' because we had a deaf class at school(i almost said on campus). I participated in sports and activities like crazy, from before 4 to 13 at different times i took a ballet/tap class, taekwondo, soccer, a basketball camp, volleyball, hip hop class, lifeguarding training, cpr/first aid classes and on my free time i played tackle football, street hockey, soccer, basketball, wrestled and made websites, all by the age of 13.

I'd quite say i've changed but that could quite possibly be due to the chronic depression. Now I can't submerge myself in education and often run away from it although growing up it was what i strived for and excelled easily in.

In addition I was very socially awkward, not as socially awkward as I am not, but nonetheless socially awkward. I don't think it was necessarily my fault as I had quite a few experiences where it was other friends and when i was younger, except the one rock throwing incident, i handled rejection much easier than i do now.

I think for the most part i've just grown up and looked at the world differently, I don't remember my childhood well enough to say whether or not I've changed for the better, but I think,from what i remember,i can make a safe assumption that I was a much better human as a child than I am now at 20.

Back in the day, pretty everyone was friends with everyone else. Except this one girl...All of the guys would pick on her...I never did anything about it. And she eventually moved to a different class. After being in her class for a few years.

And then I moved and I was definitely the lonely new girl, that had one friend. But she moved the next year. And I made a few friends in middle school. One of them is still my friends.

And now I'm a Junior in High School. And I went to a different high school for Freshmen year from all of my friends. That was the worst year. And yet it was still kind of fun.

I was the cry baby who was always picked on for it in elementary school.
