What were you as a kid

Jeff & joe Aside, we're all 'grown up' now but what were you as kids??

i was the nerd with glasses who was really clever but lost confidence in ability, got bullied, and ended up a miserable shit, what were u (and yes, Az was a bully )

i was an arsonist and a rebel

went around and just climbed trees and burnt shit

yeah...that sorta thing

Because of my passion for hardcore music through my years of school I was known as DJ Satsuma, not sure why

I was a square cut glasses wearer who was underestermated at prep school, who ate all her packed lunch by breaktime, did hand stands in the front lawn and got told off for showing her knickers to the boys.

Excelled in sport and drama at seniour school until i discovered the more interesting ways to keep fit. Considered an out cast because i laughed all the time and said weird things and therefore subjected to mental bullying. Had few but very precious friends. Got wasted most saturdays and away with most other things that you can do at a private bording school.

nicknames, roots, freak

EDIT: think i had few friends becuase i was unconventional, i.e. prefering to play hopping tennis instead of regular, and generally not being 'cool' enuff for the poncy private school assholes i had to put up with. My parents were teachers at the boarding school so i lived in an all boys boarding house from ages 8-18. a bit like living in a goldfish bowl made me very selfconsious.

Rebelled heavily again the institution in my last year there and when i left the school, got arrested etc, was kinda fun.

Took the next 3-4 years of smoking dope and philosophising to understand my view of the world (how i got a 2/1 in my degree i'll never know) now i aint doing to bad and am constantly happy even if im not. Life just seems to get better, especially this last year trance, chris, tim, t00t, lam (and a bunch of non ta's) have made a very large impact on my life and all for the good

i was the nerd with glasses who was really clever but wasnt the most confident of sorts.

Bro dragged me out clubbing when I was 16 and my confidence grew stronger and stronger and I became what I am today...

happy

me too, a rebel, yet clever. which used to get at the teachers, because i was extremily sarcastic and cheeky and made teh whole class laugh at the teacher...unfortuneatley when i grew up in my later days of school, the teachers still hated me and got me in maximum trouble even though i wasnt really that bad

cant fault that

i was generally a good boy until secondary school.. then most of the time thru that i was the one who could do so much better if only he wasnt quite so stoned. i was a bastard to some teachers at times (only the ones that didnt like me tho) and i think i contibuted a lot to mrs glover's nervous breakdown.

i was also the one that liked organising things.. like for example when most of the upper school was empty due to a battle that was going to take place between our school and nearby st marys.. the police were keeping them in and us out.. some teachers came out shouting and everyone legged it but 8 of us.. pussies

then as it went on thru secondary school.. i think everyone thought i was on skag, which i found hilarious..

i have since been tamed by the fearless nita

when i was at primary school, i was the little goody boy, always used to finish my work first and get loads of house points , then when i went to secondary school, got in with the wrong crowd, stopped doing doing all my work, started abusing the teachers 'cos it was cool, and i had to impress the leaders of the gang so they'd stick up for me, then started getting bullied which completely destroyed any self confidence i might have had, then left school at 16 with two GCSE A-C's(maths and german)because i hated it. Wish i had stayed on now, oh well never mind.

Outside of school I was a really destructive little sod, went through this phase where i'd put all my old toy cars in the back garden, and shoot them with my air rifle , much fun was had, weekend were usually spent either buying a child travelcard and going 'dossing' on trains and buses with the crew, or going to the local field with beer and getting hammered. Fosters Ice, 6 for �5, or thunderbird was usually the drink of choice, a lot of fun was had

Nice thread

I was just your average anonymous kid that got his share of bullying just like everyone else who didn't get in with the "cool" gang. I sucked at math and woodwork, was the star pupil in english and always did ok in gym class. Teachers usually liked me, altho I did get into trouble now and then when the bullies pissed me off properly.

I remember one incident in particular. It was winter, and one of the bullies had been pelting me with snowballs all through recess. Then as I made my way past the sled hill, I slipped on the ice and hit the back of my head so that I got a serious bump. I was just getting up and shaking off the dizziness when that fucking bully showed up yet again and threw another snowball(laced with ice and gravel for good measure) straight in my stomach. I got so pissed off that I chased after him and gave him a straight punch to the face that knocked him down and gave him a nosebleed. Needless to say the teachers weren't happy with my actions (and neither was I since I never liked violence), but right there and then things just boiled over big time.

After another 4-5 woeful years of puberty and insecurity, I started to not give a fuck about anything and anyone, which gave me a lot more confidence, all while biting back more fiercely and flamboyantly than ever at the people that annoyed me. It paid off in the end, and people started leaving me alone. Unfortunately this also caused the people I DID like to be scared off by my sudden burst of confidence and my ability to stay different from everyone else. Combined with my dark and brooding periods, it ultimately made people shy away from me. Since then I have been a lonely soul, and I still am to this day.

Now I'm properly awake i'll finish mine off

Aged 8 I finished all the 7-11 year old books in the school, and basically went onto adult ones & got bored in the end.

I was also 2nd best in maths in the school in year 5, with only my mate in year 6 being any better, we'd do 'speed tests' where u got100 sums and had 10 minutes to do it, I managed 2 minutes 12 once, he'd get like 2 minutes 2 which is still a school record.

I never really connected with too many people as I was a bit different, I found music & maths easy but was picked on cos of my food allergies including once being forcefed by the teacher (paul lane his name was) who was like 20 stone & out of shape, yet had goes at me for being slightly lacking in stamina back then. I also was really into computer games & the teachers from all classes used to call on me to help which made ppl jealous, in a way jealousy was sadly the spice of life


Moving onto secondary school, I never really fit in with many of the guys, only some lots on & off, guys who were jealous of me used to try show me up, but I was good at maths until algebra came into it & equations & stuff & I began to receed, in year 9 I got level 8 sats, but only got a E in the gcse due to missing an exam though illness, but i'll go there in a sec.

I was always popular with the girls as a friend, someone they could talk to about boys & know it was in confidence, so it's kinda like that now even here, im close to jolz, eleni, leeann, toni, julie & many many more, just how I've always been

I was never good at sciences, I couldn't hold things steady & found it all boring apart from astronomy. Still draw paint & colour in to a 6 year old level, and my writing was poor due to stubby fingers & arthritis in the family which means i can't always grip a pen for an hour straight at a time, cos it'd hurt me a lot. Couldn't do wood or metal work, my nana always did the sewing (teacher thought i was good lmao, i once didn't plug the pedal in to get out of doing it myself in lesson so she sent the machine off to be fixed) and was really creative in cooking, way above most other ppl.


In gcse years i was in the top set at maths but demoted for a) throwing a chair at the teacher who refused to help me when i started to struggle mentally, just after my grandad had died, I kinda went downhill from there. I was top set English, and although quiet at times could come into my element. I took art & fucked around cos the music dept wouldn't buy synths & decks & stuff (i tried my best)

I was dropped into set 6 out of 8 for science as i grew poorer at it, also i found biology icky. I was top set at business studies, german, and even stayed after school for french gcse as my timetable was full, plus it was me + 6 cute girls and looked good on my roa. Due to a short attention span coupled with finding a lot of the work too easy, I began to not bother & got worse & worse, funny classes included IT where it was 18 lads who all had a big laugh, Food cos i melted & blew up a lot of things & business cos it was just funny with the teacher who was 24 & she related to us in things, which helped a lot.

However come year 11 stress was getting to me & in the end tbf i bottled, I lost it, bigtime, in 5 months of being off sick, no1 even phoned me to see if i was ok or came round & I became bitter & resentful, suspicious of people & motives, wondering what they were saying about me, and bullied a lot, and in the end i shut myself away to what I am now, I dont know how to get out of this mess, I don't know if i will, but some of the guys here have put faith in me & I owe it to them to at least try

Edit - I'm always slightly deaf to voices at times & tones, and i always talk 'loud' even tho i don't think i am. anyway thats enough rambling, but i guess u could say im a genious gone troubled, my IQ is terrible now, and im receeding a lot to what I was, amazing what confidence adds to u, and u dont realise til its gone

Edit 2 - I think losing my grandad was the hardest, as he was the only male roldemodel I have, my 'dad' is a twat, doesn't care, consistantly puts me down & makes me miserable, and is only my dad in dna tbh, he loves my bro cos he's at university, and i think losing the male rolemodel just scarred me a lot, esp cos my grandad was so good, like a dad brother & best friend, and the only male to ever stick up for me

I saw dead people.

i was the token genius guy who couldnt be arsed, when i started comprehensive school i hated football, by the end i'd earned the knickname psycho for my defensive "exploits", was kinda quiet and jsut tagged along with everyone else really coz thats the best way to survive the arrogant if-you-dont-fit-the-mold-your-a-reject type society that is secondary school. lucky thing is trance was popular when i was at secondary school so that wasnt thought of as wierd. however i was pretty much at the heart of most of the "friendly" piss taking as i never said anything back as i dont like offending people. eventually detached from most of my mates (apart from gibbo of course) as i couldnt be a cyber and close friends with those people, their thoughts on things pretty trapped and narrowed by the fact we've all lived in a village all our lives, although now everyone grown up they dont really care, as dont i

At school i was a good boy
But out of school me and me mates used to wander the streets smoke/drink and throw stones/rocks mud dobs, cause damage and basically were little shits!

I was a little shit, a big trouble maker but not the worst exactly.

At lower school I was a wee thug, my parents remember me getting sent home once, because this big kid in the year below me pissed me off so I kicked him in the nads and I kicked him so hard he had go to hospital or the doctors or something about it all I remember is the shit didn't get up anyways he looked like Pat Butcher so he fucking deserved it. I remember I got in a few rucks then I started to behave myself as the school had called in my parents and they advised them that I should see a shrink or something because I was a very violent child, so my father sat me down and explained the bullshit had to stop well it did stop untill the last year and so scrawny little scally pissed me off so I punched him and smashed his head off something in the play ground I was very lucky I didn't get much shit for that

At middle school I behaved myself and didn't cause really that much problems, but if there is a bad influence in the room I'm influenced needless to say I used to join in sometimes. Had quite a few fights but I remembered most of them just broke up before a teacher or someone would see them. Got in a bit of trouble etc not much though.

Upper School I went to an all lads school apart from their was birds in the 6th form etc, however this school was like a prison more then anything, teachers cars got overturned when people finished exams, there was people getting mugged even teachers! lol and if you started on someone was connected you could guarentee you'd have a gang of 20 year old lads from some dodgy area of town waiting outside for you. I tried my best at this school I really did but as I said I get distracted very easily and my temper lets me down a lot. One good thing I learnt at this school was I couldn't walk around as if I could have everyone I got in a fight with as there was loads of people who could give me a shoeing there.

As I started I got in with all the hard lot kept my contacts however I didn't really hang around with them, because if you meet most of my friends their totally different from me you'd be suprised. I was alright in the first few year then a couple of us got into smoking etc and started selling gear and we thought we were proper Gangsta we were right twats, we'd fight all the time even after school we'd fight other people, bully the kids who smoked in the years below us tax them to walk down certain alleys near the school, this carried on after school we'd terrorise our local park set fires in the forest near the school my friend nearly burnt the whole thing down lol.

This gang behaviour stopped at the start of the 11th year when we'd grown up a bit but we still all had this attitude on us and you know how you always get some cheeky little kid I remember that kid said something to me so I was furious and this other lad stood up for him as he was a little shit so I was right 'YOU TWO FUCKING BOTH AFTER SCHOOL!' After the lesson I remember punching them both and they run off to the bus stop nevermind. I thought I'd get away with everything untill a certain teacher who was an A grade **** had it in for me and I've only really have teachers cause trouble with me in middle school, but this bloke really was out to get me and my friends, so one day I cracked his head open totally by mistake but it was funny seeing blood piss out of his head I ended up getting suspended lol and when I got back I had to work in isolation in a room outside the head of the years office. But I went out and just knuckled down and got some alright GCSE results etc.

LMAO. Fights between schools had tons of them they used to be hilarious I remember a couple of them got stopped due to the cops or some teacher hearing about it. But the ones we had it was always over cos we went an all lads school we had a bit of an attitude and some lads from another school we beat up someone from our school and that was it, everyone would be gathered and go down after school if it was between someone in our year like a personal vendetta with someone we could muster a good 150 lads. If it was a whole school rivalry thing about 600 odd and we had some very very very nasty ******s at our school needless to say we won all the time. But I remember we had a row with Kingsthorpe upper once in the old golf course and and I remember they'd nicked some milk bottles in the morning and stashed them to ambush my school I remember was getting milk bottles launched at our head but when they got caught HAHAHAHA. They did used to get silly I used to remember certain people who bring blades with them etc Its all quite silly really though but ah memories.

ill tell u when i finish skool

Brilliant stuff. This Mrs Glover sounds like legend lol.

Some teachers used to make me laugh there was a maths teacher Mr Livingstone he weren't my teacher but one class made it their duty to drive him mad, as he was a weak chracter who couldn't stand up people the rougher people who didn't care would beat him up etc,and everyone called him Tool no one said the usual sir or mr etc it was Oi Tool!. One time my mate Jake threw a paper weight at his head it just dented the whiteboard and this teacher just walked out, I don't they every had lessons really.

fuck why is everyone a "special" kid...

just kidding

hmmm well, in primary school i was the top grade person blah blah, fitted in well etc etc.

Secondary school more of the same, except that i put less effort into work and i underperformed. Its all because of the trance i telll ya!! Never was a bully, never was bullied, was quite popular in fact Left school with 10 a*-c GCSEs.

College was more of the same, except i did shit and only got 3 C's.

our school also had a grudge with this other school (Orleans Park) and there was gonna be some massive ruckus which was quite funny cos it all escalated from some year 7 boy from our school dumping a girl from the other school there were gonna be two massive fights but the police got tip offs all the time and stopped everyone getting off the buses, haha. people got searched and they found mats of mine with bars and chains, and my mates excuse for the chain?

"its my bike chain, and i forgot to lock up my bike over there"

what school you go to Lam

i went to teddington

i was always fucking fighting at the school i.e 2 weeks into secondary school i got suspended for kicking the shit out of some boy in the year above us, but he was a plebe and deserved it

i also liked to smoke a lot of weed at secondary school 3 of my mates got expelled cos they got caught dealing it the reason i didnt get caught cos i was off that week (suspended for fighting )

but i am a calm soul now once you start taking ectoplasm there is no going back

god when i thikn back im a right boring **** now compared to what i was like when at school

At primary school i was bullied until year 4...then I started going out with the girl everyone liked! And that made me cool! In year 5 I became best mates with a lad called tom! Tom stole my girlfriend! So I beat him up! We are still mates though.

In secondary school! I did work but still remained in the cool group! Did alot of sports, esp swimming and running. Got some gcse's. Moved schools of a levels. Got kicked out of the school I moved to, so went back to my old school!

Started going clubbing, took alot of drugs and had a real good time.

until year 10 i was just normal really, although a genius of course, but I did a good job of downplaying this fact to be more cool.

then in year 10 i met a bloke called Will who was gay and a goth, and i thought that he was well cool. so i became a goth.

and then a year or so later i got bored of that and became obsessed with the Manic Street Preachers and a certain manic depressive Richey Edwards.

but then a teacher rang my mum and told her that i was 'the ringleader of a cult of self destruction' which didnt go down too well at home.

so i just beacme normal again.

I didnt go to school i found better things to do like sniff glue smoke and graffti

school was shite, was bullied like fk cos i didnt fit into their groups, simply weren't cool enough... but didn't give a shit

shit happens, gotta live ur life!!
