I had the best time during 82-86 but it was also horrible because I went to 3 different schools. Always the outsider. One school I stayed with friends because I didn't even live near the school.
The way I dealt with it was being better than the others. Finding something I could do and they couldn't- writing. A couple times, girls got snooty with me and I just gave them a one liner and they left me alone. (Of course, that was pre-gun days.)
I hung with the nerds cause I liked it. I wore parachute pants/leather pants/VANS (unusual for a girl at a white bread Catholic school) and got the dress code rewritten esp for me. I was "anti-social" to a point because the students idea of fun and mine were not the same. I didn't come from the rich background and doin the nasty in the back seat of a cramped car while smoking a joint was not my thing.
Outsiders are more put upon because people are afraid of what they don't understand.
My revenge has just come. I am successful while many other populars arent.

I'm married to a Nerd. And he is far better at everything than anyone else could have been. :-)
