I was a skateboarder in high school and thus considered an outsider. If you didn't play team sports or waste time taking part in after-school activities you were definitely not part of the "cool-crowd." Our allies were the punks and the artsy kids (this was before people actually called them Goths) who suffered the same verbal abuse we did. But I never thought of any of my friends as geeks or nerds and to this day I still wouldn't say we were... we were just individuals who liked things beyond the mainstream. Besides I always liked the punk and goth girls more than the cheerleaders anyway! :)

I was in the outside group in my High School...punks mostly. I did manage to date a few cheerleaders though....really kind of pissed off a few jock types.
