Just for fun if anything

I would say I was known as the quiet kid who supported Bolton.

Forgery, I used to write absence notes for all my mates. I was known as "school forger"! I'm secretly proud that at a recent reunion someone reminded me of this (40 years later!).

I was known as the very quiet 'weird' spotty girl, whatever the weather I would keep my coat on as I felt safe in it when I was made fun off or pushed around, I was also a loner, ate alone and just walked around at break/dinner times on my own....

Oh but how times have changed! Grin

For having bright red hair, and being a choir geek Blush

Being able to sneak out of school 😂 none of the teachers ever figured out how I got out as they would stand at the exits. Not sure if they ever figured out that at the back of the field I could fit between the gate and fence and shuffle my way out the gap.
The rest of my year always seemed baffled that I never mentioned my pregnancy and just rocked up one day with a large bump.

Being a joker and a rebel

RedskyToNight · 26/10/2019 20:06

The one who was good at maths. Which makes me sound very dull!

Layoverlife · 26/10/2019 20:09

@RedskyToNight

I'm so jealous of you! Maths is my weakness, still is Sad

Nut's girlfriend.

Sliversloth · 26/10/2019 20:20

Setting fire to the kitchen in cooking (by accident and no one was hurt) and being good at sports

Nogodsnomasters · 26/10/2019 20:25

The quiet girl who sold the single cigarettes for 30p.

SalemsMumHasGotitGoingOn · 26/10/2019 20:27

Forging handwriting, opening lockers with a bobby pin, and getting suspended for having pink hair.

ShinyGiratina · 26/10/2019 20:40

If the Harry Potter books had been written, I'd have been summarised by Hermione Granger quite nicely Grin
Being dire at sports. Really dire.

SimonJT · 26/10/2019 20:42

Being the only brown person

Having a full beard at 12

Being the schools best prop

Talkallday · 26/10/2019 20:47

The girl who was crazy over boys, a dodgy character and always smoking... And bunking off

BetterEatCheese · 26/10/2019 20:50

Being clever and having no common sense

00100001 · 26/10/2019 20:53

The one that beat all the boys in my tutor group at arm wrestling in Year 7...was then known as "the hard one"...and nobody would touch me Grin

Even in year 11 some boy kicked off making some bother with me saying some shit like "I'm gonna fucking deck you" (or some bollock) and I just looked amused and said "you're going to fight me?" and then was like "oh shit, I don't wanna mess with you Binary.. you'll destroy me"

Fuck knows why they thought a weedy 16 yo girl could utterly destroy and built 16 yo lad Confused

elQuintoConyo · 26/10/2019 20:59

My nickname was Flexitime because I bunked off so much Grin so I guess that's how I'm remembered. And for being told off by the headmaster for wearing my tie round my head like Rambo, while he was walking some parents around.

I miss those days!

MyBootsAreMuddy · 26/10/2019 21:12

Having loads of brothers, I have 7 actual brothers, but also had 5 boy cousins that lived with us, so some thought I had 12 brothers!

In last few years of secondary, I was the girl who's cousin was an international rugby player...... funny how many people who had previously taken no interest in me, suddenly wanted to be my best friends!

slyoldfoxystoat · 26/10/2019 21:18

Big tits Grin

WhispersOfWickedness · 26/10/2019 21:22

I went out with the same boy for 3 years, so there was a bit of whispering in corridors when we broke up, as nobody really knew us as separate people, i.e. 'oh, so that's Whispers of WhispersandBF'....

TroysMammy · 26/10/2019 21:23

The shortest and skinniest. The one either sitting on the end of the chairs or the end and on the floor of school photos. I can easily be spotted Grin.

MissLadyM · 26/10/2019 21:24

@nerdy...surely not Myra?! Urgh

TheFesteredStiff · 26/10/2019 21:25

Being a girly swot.

Fuck you, Boris.

jmh740 · 26/10/2019 21:30

As being the super tall girl with the boyfriend in his 20s
