Personally, I wasn't... I was just kind of in the middle. When I WAS in school anyway, I was in the middle. Of course being young and dumb, I decided that cutting class and running around with friends was a lot more fun than going to class. Especially since I was one of those kids who showed up aced everything and then skipped for a week. The school system I would imagine, considered me gifted, but I didn't want to be there. Anyway I ended up getting a GED.

So I guess my point is that I kept to myself and like four other people because I thought everybody else in that school were a bunch of idiots.
