In year 7 and 8 I was geeky, paid attention in call and got very good grades, there where talks about me sitting my gcses a early. Then by year 9 I started hanging around with all the rock music kids and got drunk on the regs. In year 10 I sated bunking school and was never there, bunking like 3 weeks straight at a time.
Did things like set tables on fire with deodrent in the middle of class. locked a teacher in a cupboard once because she left he keys in the door. Only got into 2 fight the hole time I was at school. I would chat with everyone, from the rude boys to the geeky people I called friends. I got D's for all the important stuff like English and maths but then A's and B's for all the stupid stuff like music and product design.
Did music tech at college and it was the stupidest thing I ever did, cant get a job with that shit. Started smoking weed and failed my 3rd year because I was to stoned to do any work.
Got in to uni anyway (lied about my grades). started smoking more weed and drooped out by Christmas. AT uni I smoke so much weed and made so many tracks. In fact that was all I did was sit in my room smoking weed and making track after track. My flat mates thought I was fucked, and I was.
Now im back at college doing english and maths gcse so I can go to uni without lieing. Gona do engineering next year and then go to uni and do electronical engineering.
Iv stoped smoking weed now. havent touched the stuff in over a year. Shit was fucking up my life.

hmmmmm
in primary school i was the best student there but it wasn't hard since it was one of the worst performing schools in greater manchester, i was house captain and answered everyone's including the other teams answers in the end of year general knowledge quiz - in short i was a know-it-all but i was also pretty hard, fought a lot cos i got bullied for being basically the only non-white kid in school and no one really messed with me
went to a grammar school and was slightly above average but it was a different type of kid at that school and i stuck out, still performed really well in exams and got mint grades but i was a wanker and most teachers hated me cos i was cheeky, rude, disruptive and lazy, got suspended a few times, threatened with permanent expulsion cos my best mates mum told the school i was selling drugs, a mixture of being kind of popular but kids being scared of me so there was a lot of shit chatting behind my back, fought a bit but always normally sticking up for mates, mixed in all crowds of kids but never really with one solid group as all my best mates were from different groups anyway
by 6th form i wasn't allowed to sit next to anyone in any of my classes, and basically would have dropped out if it wasn't for one teacher taking the time to come in and see me on my saturday detentions and encourage me to get my head down and get out of the school
wasn't particularly shit but not amazing either

Was quite a good student, always getting As or Bs, smoking weed with my friends on lunch breaks & got pinched a few times by my teachers but everyone let go because I was basically "the sweet boy", discreet & smily. Never fought against anyone, never even shouted at anyone or anything. I was lazy as fuck though and now that I'm at uni I kinda regret it. When you're used to pass everything without really working it's hard to get rid of the habit.

I was in advanced classes and usually some sort of teacher's pet when I was 5-12 or so. In later school and into my teens I was one of those unclassifiable kids who did a bit of everything. I was a nerd who excelled mostly in science, history, and English classes. However, I also played sports and then would go skate with the punks and stoners after school. I didn't do drugs until I got into my 20s though. I kinda roamed freely into all the little school cliques without being an official member of one. I was definitely seen as weird though due to my film and musical interests mostly.
I used to get into trouble quite a bit for my hair and clothes haha. I still have some reports from teachers that got me suspended for red spiked hair and grotesque clothing/objects. The objects were usually films I would bring to trade or show people, and political/movie/band shirts. Like I showed some Vienna Aktionist footage in art class once when the assignment was to bring in art that helped change the art world, and they wanted to kick me out for good. It was a kid who complained to their parents though, the art teacher was somewhat intrigued.
Towards the end of school I also had a bad habit of doing my work but not turning it in, and arguing with teachers about what they were saying. Like history teachers would leave out a lot of the grim details, and I always felt compelled to mention some of the more negative aspects of the particular history subject they were discussing or openly critique them when they let their personal opinions come out in class.
Definitely was on a first name basis with most of the staff an counselors at schools I attended when I was in my teens. Some of them liked me, most just thought I was trouble.

Haha, school man fuck that. I was short, overweight, loud and probably quite annoying. Took a lot of shit from people all the time, and that really got me down for a long while, but changed schools for sixth form and went to a college full of like minded people who were fucking jokes! Started acting myself again and been on the up from there really. Only got in a couple of fights, one of which where I ended up breaking a guys finger, still feel guilty about it
edit - should add the first school wasn't ALL bad, still very close mates with a few people from there and we did do a lot of jokes stuff involving your usual teenage pyromania phase

I was bullied a bit in the first years because I was a little fatty, but that went away. I always kinda stood up against the bullies and started hitting them after a while.
Always got along good with the teachers. One of the top students even though I barely did something for school; i'm still not a genius though.
I was a very nice person and tried to stay out of trouble really, even though I used to smoke weed before and after school on the regular.
During lunch breaks from time to time, class trips, .. You know, basically the same as everyone on this forum lol.
I kinda was the responsible one in my group of friends. That has changed quite a bit though now. Still responsible, but sometimes just not (i.e. anytime alcohol and/or drugs are involved).

I hung out with the artsy hipster group, but I don't think I ever really fit in with them. Interesting people though, I still talk to most of them. I never had classes with my friends though, so I mostly kept to myself, did nothing but read or listen to music until the last couple weeks of the semester when I would do all the shit I needed to to get my marks up to passing. All my teachers loved me despite that haha
I would usually skip to write songs or wander around my neighborhood, so I wasn't even really at school much anyways.

I hated school at the time but only once i had left i realised how piss easy it was. I suppose i could have done a lot better than i did, not saying i was ever going to be the star student though. Took a couple of negative times for me to realise and sort my act out a bit. Same situation as a lot of people in this thread i suppose.

Wasn't really anything in school. Bit of an outcast, didn't have many friends and the ones i got all turned on me by the time i left.
Just the quiet one who occasional came out with some (they thought) some hilarious sarcastic bullshit.
I fucking hated it though, pure loneliness.

Hair down to my elbows, 110 pounds dripping wet and listening to metal all the time. Teachers loved me though because I was the quiet smart kid. Just hangout with the metal heads and talked about metal, ate lunch in the hallway with the other metal heads because we weren't cool enough for the cafeteria
Oh and extremely awkward around girls and the popular kids...

in high school i was just a lone wolf who hung out with whoever. i was cool with the popular kids, the jocks, the stoners, the shop kids, comm tech kids...whoever. did good in almost everything, but hated going to class.
my favorite memories:
- welding the prinicpal's office door shut while he was inside
- seeing some kid start a fight (with someone twice his size) by attempting to throw a ball-peen hammer at the other guy
- seeing a fight happen in the alleyway where a kid got suplexed, then weggied right after
- seeing a 21 year old guy pull his girl away from a cat fight...then seeing him get chased and beat down by 40 people (essentially the mob caught up with him and he was naked when they were done lol.)
- singing 'backstreets back' every day in the darkrooms.
- filming my rap video about the kraken
and the list goes on.

me and this guy got kicked out of class and i when down to my car and drove it next to the room and blasted the doors while dancing.
i kicked my shoe off at the top of the stairs and i was trying to get close to hitting a girl that i would joke with and the shoe hit her on the head.
i brought boxing gloves to school and boxed some people and i brought my bongo drum to school and played it in the hall.
i was a stoner
