i had my own circle of friends, we weren't cool in everyone else's eyes, but to each other we were.
Total nerd here too in HS. did the AP and NHS thing too and only focused on academics. I'm kinda thankful for that....it made a full tuition scholarship possible for undergrad. Not having much of a social life in high school was a small price to pay, I guess. However, I think it would have made me less self-conscious later in life had I had one. Anyways, I was also completely and utterly terrible looking. Was jeans and turtleneck and sweater/sweatshirt girl. Ack. My senior year I started to slowly become a goth....which became full-blown in college....been one ever since. My ten year reunion is coming up next year....no one is going to fucking recognize me. Seriously. I haven't been in contact with anyone either...except for a guy that I saw about 4 years ago...we went out twice.
A note to Tart: WOW...you are really beautiful (not that you other ladies aren't....you are too)....it's just that Tart's really stand out, especially the one where your face is framed by the fur...
haha omg andy. can you remember how long it use to take to make your bangs stand up like that? I use to use aussie hairspray and two of my girlfriends would fan and blow on the shit while it dried into a nice big poofy arch above my head.
I was the outcast, the dork, etc. I had friends, but they were all in the band program with me. DId every kind of band I could-jazz, marching, concert, ensemble and I loved them all. Was first chair alto sax grades 11-12. I did photo and yearbook one year. I was the tall quiet girl, so many people thought wrongly that I was a bitch. Usually dated guys from other schools. I worked way more than any high school student should work. I didn't lose my V until I was 18 and in love![]()
Never thought I'd get into stripping, and didn't even inquire until I was 20.

I was an overacheiving know-it-all. AP courses, English teacher's pet, etc. But after school I hung out with the black and Hispanic kids, the "ghetto" group. There is no way in HELL I thought I was gonna end up being a stripper.

Hmm.. I was a complete rebel! I graduated But.. I got expelled within 2 monthes during my 1st year of 9th grade. Then I went to another High school. The pricipal liked me, even though I was always in Detention, He still saw me as a good girl. But.. i refused to quit school, so they threw me in another highschool to graduate me where the absences didnt matter. You can be absent alot!! All you had to do in order to graduate was to be good. No sellin drugs, No violence, ect. The class was soo fun. I never had homework! But I straightened myself out completely after seeing my bestfriend get highly into drugs. While my friends took the drug route, I chose to go to college and through my dancing years. Its really odd, but when I started dancing, thats when my life started to mellow out. I saw myself making some really good money, So I ended up buying houses and going off to college. But, before dancing, when I had a reglar job/not making sh*t.. I goofed off completely! So, Back when the dancing industry was much easyer/more $$.. I banked soo much. Stripping gave me hope and thats when I got it all together. : )
Wow...the answers are really interesting...it seems that there are a few general trends with girls that ended up being dancers. My story is actually rather similar to the other girls' responses.
When I was in high school, I too was a straight A student enrolled in tons of Honors and Advanced Placement courses. I cared enough about getting into a good college and career field, so I studied just enough to ensure that I got A's in my classes, but that's not saying much...scholastics came to me pretty naturally with less effort than the average kid in my class. Most of my classmates saw me as a "smart girl" and an "overachiever." Because a good portion of my friends were either older or from different schools, I was a bit of a closet case...teachers and some classmates only saw my good grades, and weren't aware of how much of a nympho and a pothead that I was outside of class.
In middle school, I was a total idiotic nerd and I hated myself. So I started rebelling in small ways, such as wearing lots of make-up, belly shirts, cursing out loud in class, etc...but overall I was still kinda a goody-goody because I had very strict parents that didn't allow me to party or date. (They gave me hell for the cursing and make-up bits!) In the early part of high school(9th grade and part of 10th), I fit in somewhat decently with my classmates but then again I was kinda made fun of for working at McDonalds and lacking dating experience. Then I started dating much-older guys, smoking pot, drinking more, and having um, a bit more fun during the last half of high school. My friends consisted of the more eccentric classmates, including the punks and goths and such. I was rebellious and my parents hated me for it!...but despite my frequent partying/hooking up, I somehow still managed to make the grades.
Hmmm...why does this comment hit a little too close to home for me?Originally Posted by jackie555
Although I had some fun by the end of high school, I feel like I didn't have enough fun to make all of my high school years completely interesting. I worked crazy hours after school at places like McDonalds(and was ridiculed about it by my snobby classmates who didn't have to work because they had rich parents). I took on all those honors and AP courses as a means of getting into a good college....just to end up going to a "safety school" that seemed more affordable, studying tons more in college because I took on a triple major at one point, and then having that safety school not do much to help me with job placement afterwards. It's because of that, and the money issues that go along with not being able to find a job, that I started dancing. Even though I've always been a bit of a nympho perv, I never woulda predicted that I'd be dancing, back in high school or early college. My high school classmates probably wouldn't have guessed in their wildest dreams, either.
Hey - would anybody guess that I was a geek? Notice how I said WAS? And by WAS I mean....IS? Wait....am. Whatever.

Dude!!!!! That's EXACTLY what stripping did for me! I used to do drugs and party too much BEFORE I got into dancing! I too was working "shit jobs"(Target, McDonalds, Giant, movie theater, etc) and had no money...so I figured, "What's the point of sacrificing fun to save my meager earnings? Even if I save 100%, I won't have enough for a house or even a small studio apartment." So I overcompensated for my lack of money/progression/intellectual career growth, by spending all my money on drinking and drugs. When I started dancing, I realized that making enough money to live comfortably WAS a possible reality for me, so I became more motivated to save towards stuff like my own apartment and to pay off my massive mountain of a college tuition bill.Originally Posted by TROU8LE~
Isn't it cool how most of the strippers' responses kinda resemble each others to a certain extent? I find it really interesting and I can relate to it a lot!!
UGH in high school I was a complete metalhead/stoner/underacheiver/dork(slayer shirts, torn jeans leathers and AD&D). I guess if my dad wasn't overly strict I would have looked more like I do now, but he's half the reason I was a rebel without a clue
I grew up in a dysfunctional home. I was a free spirit and did alot of crazy things, but I was very quiet, and reserved and a dork. I partied some, but for the most part, I was to myself. I left home at 16, graduated at 17 and was in L.A. four months to my 18th birthday, and stripping because my room mate was making all this money and I wasn't. LOL.. I was always loud, obnoxious and opinionated, but it rarely came out, it only came out in English Class in Highschool where I loved to write, so given a subject, I wrote the controversial version, I got expelled my 10th grade year for writing a paper on war that my teacher didn't like. He then said to me, "out of all my students, you were the last I'd expect this from", I turned the paper in two years later in college and received an A...
I went to my ten year, no one recognized me. I walked right up to the assclown who bullied me in 9th grade and grabbed his ear like he used to grab mine and said, "Betcha don't remember who I am!"...

^^^^^Assclown....I looove it!
Yeah, what's with the bullies not even remembering the people they bullied?? When I was in 6th grade, I really wondered if I was invisible...no one cared to talk to me or even acknowledge my existence...unless it was to make an insult. There were a few people in particular that mocked me more than others. A few years later, I was perfectly cool with those people. At times in class, we'd all remininsce sixth grade memories and when I'd chime in with my two cents, one of the "former bullies" would say "but you didn't live around here back then, you didn't move here til 7th or 8th grade." Hello, I moved there in 4th grade, do they think I don't know my own life story?? I told them that, and they honestly swore up and down that they did not remember me before 8th grade. And we're not talking any big time gap here...just 2 years later, from 6th grade to 8th grade. So I wasn't even good enough to remember after they belittled me! Well, at least they forgot about it, so it was less embarrassing for me.
I was straight A's, all the time. I was huge chested even back then, though, so I wore tight tee shirts and wonderful bras and slept with most of my teachers. I didn't make friends with the girls my age, obviously, and I was always into older guys, so I ignored the guys my age completely. I got my diploma at 15 (correspondence courses I did at night - couldn't WAIT to get out of there.) and started dancing.
you started dancing at 15??? yikes.
Oh, I musta took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.
howdy ho, junior rangers.
With my mom... as is being hotly debated in the "Your first time" thread in stripping general.
Well, I was popular enough, but I think I was somewhere in the middle. I was friends with the chicks who weren't bitchy sluts and the guys who weren't pervert jerks, basically. I got along with the semi-dorky kids well-enough... I didn't go to parties... Well, a couple with friends that didn't go to the same school. I found a bunch of friends from high school on myspace and they weren't surprised I was a stripper... Apparently, I'd told them all that I was going to do that after I graduated, lol. I got decent grades, but not straight A's... and I was in a couple of honors classes.
I'm the one in the red.
If you think school is hard, try being stupid.





Cherry_Sin is a hard act to follow.
Me, I was the outcasts, outcast. I went to at least 4 different high schools, before eventually leaving year 12 and going to uni. Father’s job took us everywhere.
High school was pretty much hell for me. I never fit into one particular group. I was shy and insecure, afraid of pain. The outcasts would have me, but even to them I was a strange one. When you don’t drink, smoke, or do drugs, no one knows what to think. Add to this wearing black or dark clothing pretty much all the time and listening to L7 and the Ramones as well as Tori Amos, Susan Vega, and the Scorpions you are pretty much up shits creak, without a paddle, or a raft.
I often found it odd, I’d have friends outside of school, but within those walls, I was nothing to them. I do have to admit, my barriers were strong, and by the time I was in the up north school (3rd high school), getting anywhere near close to me would be hard after what I had been through.
It did not help that I needed very little study to do well. At a couple of my schools you had freedom of movement, during lunch. Only problem was the café was too small for all the students when it was cold. I can’t count how many books I read through lunch in the cold winter snow. It was far better to have only the company of a book and the coldness of the weather, then the coldness of another human. Nature I can forgive, in the end the cold of nature was far warmer than the hearts of my peers, or myself at that time.
My last school had more accepting students most were from overseas. Then I found out the teachers were crap. I at least found a way out. Uni repaired some of the damage done in high school. Some is still being fixed now.
How did I end up here? I was looking for info, posted a story, and found a couch.

i was part of the "incrowd" in high school.. we were all very good in sports, had parties all the time.... people worshiped us....
I wasn't the most popular, but I had a lot of friends. I didn't belong to "one group" of people, because, frankly, I hate cliques. Even now...my biggest complaint with the mommy's at the park district is that they all think they're still in high school (and if you'd listen to their conversations, you'd swear they were). I like knowing and being friends with everyone. I was friends with the jocks and the cheerleaders (I was a cheerleader) but I was also friends with the stoners and the misfits (although I never got in trouble) and I was friends with the nerds. Different days I would walk around with different people.
Haha I had a rat-tail till 6th grade.
I got along with everyone, but being the electronics guru I still am today, I basically was known for fixing anything from my friend's mother's drier to my best friends GPA.
I never really got my work done on time, but I always C'd out of tests. I skimmed by doing the bare minimum in school cause I was doing much more in my free time. I was that kid that drew comics, read comics, read books, played guitar, was funny, but couldn't get a girl to spit on me if my face was on fire... just that way really.
My first relationship was 9th grade... the glorious disaster. But I had long hair and the band thing going on, and hadn't been in school long enough to have my "He's smart, but silly looking" image of years past to follow through.
I had a fun highschool years. But I didn't really understand life till the last couple of years.
People are not ruled by their memories.



What was I like in high school?
I was the punk/outcast/stoner girl. I also got the rep of "slut" when I went to a party held for the Aussie Exchange students and had a one night stand with this hot aussie from Kiama. I spent alot of time in hs stoned, skipping class with my other outcast friends... but out of all of us, I always had the highest grades. I was always wearing some kind of band t (usually the Clash or Green Day or AFI, whatever struck my mood that day) My nickname in hs was punk... thats what everyone called me...
I was never one for the preps or popular kids, but I got along well enough with them to invite me to their parties. For the most part tho, I was the outcast punk bugging the school for more "music oriented activities" (ie. Battle of the Bands) I also had pink and blonde streaks in my hair for most of my high school days...
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I was gonna become a stripper... at least not back then.....
