I was often treated as mascot though no one ever said the word.
If we had had labels I would have been " loser freak".
Band nerd with a little bit of freak mixed in.
This was before “The Breakfast Club” otherwise I’d say “basket case” (ala a male version of Ally Sheedy’s character)
I was nothing. I smoked pot but I wasn’t a real stoner,. I played varsity soccer but I wasn’t really a jock. I was smart but my grades went to hell so I wasn’t a geek or a nerd. I wasn’t popular.

My friends and I were considered “brains.” (A term used even before “nerds” and long before “geeks” 
)
in secondary school (uk equivalent) i was considered one of the smarter kids but i got on with most groups in my year. i ‘dated’ one of the popular girls. i travelled a bit to get to school so didnt really hang out with mates there out of school, i had mates back home who some were good but bad influence at same time.
ive only kept in touch with one person from school.
I was in a writing class in high school and one of the girls wrote a classification paper saying that boys could be divided up into Freaks, Jocks and Nerds. Everyone agreed this was true, but the guys weren’t able to classify girls quite so succinctly.
In Jr High I was ‘the great athlete’ as I stumbled and stepped on people in PE.

I was the token badass in high school. The military kid.

Where I went to high school-in the American Southwest- we had goat-roapers (cowboys) I wasn’t one of them. We also had jocks and nerds and of course the “popular” ones. It was a military post and town. When, my father was promoted we moved up to “colonel’s row.” It was near the movie theater ad library. Anyway, the popular officer’s girl down the street came to house and tried to befriend. However, I just decided to stay with my “not so popular” friends who I mostly enjoyed lunch each day. After that, she was rude to me. At my first job, one of my older co-workers told me “in a hundred years it won’t matter.” That is so true about a lot of life experiences; especially high school. It is just a shared terror we must experience in this society.
Myself.
Really. I was labled being myself. I had green or blue hair. I went to the interresting classes and skipped the boring ones. I got really good grades on the subjects I attended.
I was actually depressed but nobody noticed. I played ice hockey. I was the green haired goalie.
I got an award when school was out for the last summer. "Award for being yourself during 3 years and not one among the others. "
For a brief moment in time I was the class clown. But then I was considered the stoner.

Yeah, I remember when that term was popular.
Yeah, I can picture that SurprisedJ.
Why are kids more harsh then adults?
Everyone(aside from a few) learn that everyone fails and we are largely the same.
