Not that it matters now, but I’m curious. I don’t know if I was popular. I had a lot of friends in middle school and I would say I did in high school too, but a lot less people knew me as the middle school I went to was smaller.

I wasn't popular, I don't think I was unpopular either, I was certainly a bad kid though.

Was kicked out of class a lot and used to pick on people and get into fights.

I also used to get picked on by others so I've no real sense where I stood.

I'm still friends with people from school over 15 years later and I'm married to the girl I sat next to in English who i routinely got kicked put of class

    I'm kind of in the same boat I think. I definitely wasn't one of the "popular" kids, I didn't play sports and was a pretty average student. I had a smallish friend group, 5-10 of us; we had a big bench at the end of a hall by a window we "claimed" and hung out at.

    I had a couple specific people that bullied me. It wasn't until about a decade ago I realized there were a few people who actually did see me as mean and a bully. It put things in perspective and gave me a lot to think about.
