Were/are you a &quot;good kid?&quot; Get a bigger avatar today!

Were you a "good kid?"

Were you a nice quiet organized who always did their homework and never fought with his parents and all that?

Or were you rambunctious and badly behaved? Did you fight with your siblings a lot and always get grounded and sent to principals office?

That sort of thing.

I used to be a rambunctious sort of kid who didn't do his homework, always got sent to the office, etc. but I stopped when I was 13.

Edited atrocious spelling of principal.

I was quiet and generally regarded was a swot- this was complete bollocks, I think I did about 5 days hard work at school.

I wore glasses though and luckily for me adults seem to think that I must be a hard working person as I was polite and answered questions in class.

I was a pretty good kid, except that I was stubborn as nails, so I wound up taking quite a few "time-outs" until I'd relent.

I was actually a good kid until my high school years...

I mean..as a preteen I was mouthy with my parents...talking back and what not..

didnt really FIGHT with my siblings...more like my older sisster used to beat the crap out of me, cuz back then and even now, shes twice my size

I was a straight A student through 8th grade..

and then all of the sudden I got stupid and lazy in 9th...

barely scraped by 9th..scooted into tenth.....scraped by again, scooted to 11th...scraped by...got to 12th...almost didnt graduate...

not due to being DUMB....it was more lazy and not really giving a fu**. I guess that was sorta dumb huh....I know if I had applied myself I woulda have been awesome..

oooh yeah..I was in a magnet program too....the "liberal arts academy"...focused on the social sciences.....what i HATED most..and why did I choose to go there anyway? cuz my friends all were...i should ahve gone to the OTHERT magnet program at another school..the science academy..I would have done MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCh better


ANYWAY...yeah..I hated it..I didnt apply myself...at one point..i was making a 30 in english.,



but I managed to pull it all together and walk across the stage to get my diploma..

and here I am now...





and I was never a BAD kid....only ever been grounded once.....umm..

what was the question again?

Hmm good kid in general. I didn't do much (if any work) but i walked through high school and to a lesser degree my undergrad degree.

Never got in with the "wrong" crowd as such, always too busy playing basketball.

There were a few things me and my parents disagreed over (having to go to church being the main one), but in general they are ridicilously liberal, and saw no problem in me going out on the lash when I was 15-6.

Doesn't sound like me... I never learned to hide that for teachers... but, ehmm... those teachers never learned it either (Thank God, I have only had 2 of the EXTREMELY annoying teachers (those who hated me, because I hated them... and thank God, I don't have them as teachers anymore )


But apart from that, I have been a "good kid"... I think

I got into trouble for being " opinionated" sometimes

For example when I was about 4 years old and I was playing in the plaza, I saw a father beating his little son with his belt.

While everyone remained frozen, I walked up to him raised my little head and told him in an angry tone "Are you a fascist, Sir?"

And I was just 4 years old

And other little things like that
Apart from that , yes a good little boy

I was generally good although on one occasion, when I was about 14, some kid who had been bullying me for a couple of months started on me again. I just snapped and punched him hard with a right hook - I broke his nose. Despite the great praise landed upon me by friends the headmaster didn't take too kindly to it.

on Thanksgiving day when i was 7, the assclown religious kid down the street commandeered my bicycle, and I ran after him, threw him off, and gave him one good shot to the stomach. Then his older sisters came and told my mom what I had done, and I got punished

I didnt get into trouble with that fascist father

he just stared at me with disbelief (stop beating his little son in the mean time)
and then my mom came and took me away

I dont remember ever being "punished" because i never did anything "bad"

apart from beating up a kid in primary school (a real sleazeball) but then my mom talked to me and i never did it again (except once more but word never got out )

yeah pretty much. I only got in trouble a couple times for stealing mail, and shoplifting. I once broke into an abandoned house but what kid hasn't? . We spread toilet paper everywhere. We even turned on the gas stove. Amazing we didn't burn it down. The next door neighbor caught us and then he said he was going to get the manager and left. Well obviously we didn't stick around. We ran like hell out the back door. I never really got into any serious trouble. The school kicked me out a few times for bringing kittens to school in my lunch box. Don't ask me why I did that.

I was a hyperactive kid and used to get spanked all the time. Even today I'm much more headstrong than my little brother.

I'm very nice to my brother, though. He's my best friend in the whole world!

I didn't have much choice in the matter, since my parents are just as stubborn as I am. I think that my longest stretch in the corner (it wasn't called "time-out," it was called "standing in the corner") was about nine hours before I finally relented. I was hungry, dammit!
