Maybe you are pyscho. :p

Have you ever met someone "too cool for school"?

This one dude I know who was too cool for school is now in prison for a few hundred years.

I think I posted an article about his sentencing once.

Anybody else?

I deal with it every Monday-Friday between the hours of 8:55-3:05pm.

Guy who I could never figure out how he was in the popular group, fits this description. He was always a fat, non-athletic guy who somehow was in that popular group and had really hot girlfriends.

He hit his peak about 8th grade, and even as high school was continuing he popularity and overall significance really dropped. Last time I saw him, he changed my oil - something that surprised me, b/c one of my good friends swore he had gotten the "too cool" fired from the same shop b/c the kid had forgotten to put his oil pan or cap or something on. Luckily my friend recognized the mistake before making it much beyond the parking lot. My friend actually insisted that the kid be fired, something I found hilarious.

Does anyone know people who were super popular, but were actually nice people, and now they're stuck in your hometown? I know one girl who has been in and out of the local community college for 4 years now. Still supposedly planning on making it a 4 year institituion to finish off her degree, meanwhile other people we graduated HS with (like myself) have graduated and are in professional or grad school or have really nice jobs as teachers or engineers or the like. I feel bad for the girl because she really was a nice person, and I thought she'd have a better future than the way things have turned out.

I went to grammar and high school with a girl named Patty who was always the most popular. you always wanted an invite to her party, she was a cheerleader, in the dance squad etc.
She was never openly mean to me, but when she was with her other friends, it was a whole different story.

well, she got knocked up Senior year in hs (this is after having an abortion once already). she did go to college to get her nursing degree, but last I heard she had already had 2 other kids. so now she's like 25 with 3 kids from different dads.

cant say im surprised though. she was always a little slutty even back in grammar school.

What's her number?

There was a group of 7 in Blazercheer and Ballerina's class who thought they were IT. One has done well, is a senior at UGa. Good--she was the only nice one.

The rest: the "queen" of the group flunked out of Ga Southern with a 0.0. Two more couldn't get into UGa so they've been hanging around Athens at the local tech college for 4 years, pretending to be UGa students. Another one got pregnant and I'm not sure if she ever made it to college. Another one developed an eating disorder and last I heard, was bumming around the state mooching off of friends and relatives (this from her grandmother). The last one is in and out of the local tech college.

I'm SURE they envisioned vastly different futures for themselves back in the day, probably that they would all go to UGa together and be co-Homecoming Queens as well as sorority sisters in the same selective sorority.

I kinda liked - in a friend way only! - the class moron. I mean, you have to have a little respect for someone who is LAST in a class of over 780 people! If that were me, I'd probably just give up.

Anyhow, he stuck it out, got his high school diploma, and is now a butcher at one of the stores where I like to buy meat (it's really lean & fresh there). If he sees me there, he'll cut me something specially. I know, big deal - but if you smelled my steaks grilling, you'd be happy, too!

the sad thing is... the kids that were 'too cool for school' actually went on to college and are getting degrees... see I lived on a military base in Japan, and those kids dont have much option of any thing else... the sad part, the kids who worked their tushes off couldnt afford college, some are housewives, others were forced to go military, which no one wanted to do really right out of school, and i feel so bad as to be one of the kids who actually made it to their junior year... cause all my 'good guys' friends had to leave college if they went at all...

An 0.0 GPA???? WHOA! :rolleyes: :eek:

actually I knew a kid who was too cool for school even back in high school. His goal in life was to cut the meat at Boston Market. I think he got his wish.

Re: Have you ever met someone "too cool for school"?
 

Yep. 1 is dead (car accident), one has leukemia, 2 others have brain cancer, 2 are in jail. All in my same class in high school. The cancer stuff - I blame on trailers built right next to electrical towers. There were a few that grew up, got a quick reality check, and are very successful.

There used to be this girl that every guy wanted to date in high school & every girl wanted to be. She was in the class behind mine. She was very sweet and genuinely nice but people used to say the most awful things about her (out of jealousy & spite) but she just ignored those losers & did things her own way. I later learned she became a sister of Alpha Phi & did very well in her chapter.
