i was neither really. i don't think most people realized who i was. and i didn't really care either way!
in my senior year of HS, i knew more people and was more well known but still neither popular or unpopular.

I went to a school of about 20 (K-12), so sure I was popular, but only because we all knew each other and I was the oldest one.

I don't think I was particularly popular for most of school but then I didn't really care. I was kinda popular for about a year but got sick of it.

In a sense. I was known as a dork, but one of those cool dorks, Like Screech off of Saved by the Bell. But that was mostly during eleventh and twelfth grade. The rest of the time, no. I was just a plain dork, then.

I have lots and lots of friends at school and everyone knows me. Yeah, I guess I'm pretty popular. But I think I would rather be intelligent and pass everything than be popular and have to make up Chemistry and Computer Lab  * frown *

hell no. first i was a nerd. then i got mad, started smoking dope and grew my hair long and wore skulls and devils and all that on my jacket. then nobody would talk to me at all, which was fine. by my senior year i was smoking 4-5 joints a day at school, selling speed, and drinking jack and coke all day. i even went to school on acid a few times. i still graduated with high grades though, even though on the very last day of school they tried to expell me for setting off bottle rockets in the hall. then they figured, lets just get rid of him, i guess.

I wasn't popular at all and I didn't care, because I belonged to a very exclusive club. I was the only member.  * wink *

Uh.... no.

I was well-liked, but definitely not popular. I went to a pretty small school, so most everyone in my graduating class knew each other, but I assume by popular you mean cheerleader, homecoming queen, or class president kind of popular.

I was on the geek side back in highschool, though i got along with all sorts of people. I guess I am rather popular in college. In one class I was given a book with everyones phone numbers. Usually I develop home friendships that at least last the class duration, sometimes years.

highschool was a bit more tight for me. I would attend (i was pure dude back then) wearing a 15th century kilt and sword with purple inverted sunglasses and a leathar patch that read 'white kelts on punk', but still, partially missing three homework assignments in algebra would get you expelled from the class, and he was reluctant to clear any absence, including field trips from other classes. I got my first A+ in math though, and took his trig class next the semester. We got to do things like roam the campus with surveying transits.
In college, i'm often like an assistant teacher. In one art class, I had us jog through the halls chanting 'we are awesome' as a warm up for a class session I was directing.

Yes and no, I was popular when I was younger, then when I was 13 or so I became unpopular. In high school I was neither.

I don't know whether I was popular or not.
I had a lot of good friends and I was always welcome behind the bikesheds (where the smokers hung out)

But I didn't play football (soccer) and so I alienated myself from a lot of people but even they got on alright with me as I am generally an honest and open person and that came across I think.
I dont think anyone looked up to me or wanted to be more like me - except the copious amount of girl friends I had.

I'm still in school. I guess you could say that I am popular, I mean, I have a lot of friends, and nobody doesn't like me, but I don't know everyone.

I knew that you were going to answer yes to this one.... honestly- I have always wanted to know... how does it feel? Do you really get everything that you want? I bet you are a cheerleader and go to all of the dances and stuff.

I was pretty unpopular at Primary school (4-11) - I had a few friends, but not many. I increased in popularity as time went on at my secondary school. By the end of Y9 (aged 14) I had loads of friends. Now I'm at sixth-form I think I'm popular. I get on well with a good half of my year - I don't know the other people because I may not have lessons with them/have overlapping friends. I don't care though - so long as I have friends that make me happy, the number doesn't mean a thing  * smile *

My parents were WAY to strict to let me throw ANY party, let alone go to one... I could not be a cheerleader because I wasn't in the 'in crowd'. WHAHHHH! Okay- that odd feeling that I had in HS is coming back, I think I'm gonna barf.
Man, I wish I were you.

Back in my day, schools didn't have any kind of efficient system to rate the popularity of the students. We didn't have an applause-o-meter, or popularity polls or nothing. Of course, I went to school over 20 years ago. The technology was in its infancy. It wasn't as advanced, nor was it affordable like it is today. We had to go to school without any clear or decisive understanding of just how popular we were. Kids today just don't know how good they have it.  * grin *

I was unpopular in elementary school, but in High School I found my niche because I went to a Science and Math academy (a nerd farm). But even there I was a loner, and that gave me an aura of mystery that made me popular with some, pariah to others. When I was able to dress well, I was popular, and by 11th grade, when I no longer dressed well, I became more distant from the social scene, and spiralled away from the mainstream high school experience.

I am popular with my friends, but if you mean does the majority of the school like me, then no. Not even half of them like me, though that could be because I only KNOW about 30 something of them, and I've only met (i.e. talked to, however briefly) maybe 100-150 of them maximum. My school has like 500 people or something like that.

I'm in HS, everyone in my class (2003) is pretty close, i'm well-liked but i'm no prom king. I hang out with the stoners for the most part, but i've ventured into other groups as well. My best friend is the biggest weirdo in the world, but we've been best friends since 4th grade, so I don't care. =)

No,I was infamous.I wasn't popular in the cheer-leader sense of the world,I tried to do my best to stay out of every little group,club,disco meeting or whatever.But people knew me because I looked weird (I still do  * wink * ),and my teachers talked a lot of my writing,and I was so different than everybody else that they just couldn't ignore me I guess.

I assume you mean high school. Not sure about popular. I was very sociable. Anyway, it was a small school. And all girls.
