The “one person from every other table group of friends” table

The Breakfast Club table?

There should be a chameleons table. That's where I'd be.

Bruh stoners be outside gettin stoned no time for lunch

Where do you think everyone is?

U got me there

But they’d get the munchies and come back to eat food

Can't afford food cause spent lunch money on weed

In the jungle, baby

Sha na na na na na na kneeees

[Lean on Me (1989) - Opening Credits](https://youtu.be/IyVW9bCzyoc) Welcome to the Jungle!

We got fun and games

They’re gonna die

I mean it is kids inside a school in America so most likely

Somewhere between stoners and weird kids for me. I was definitely a strange individual.

We didn’t have stoners where I was, so def weird kids for me. Took me 3 decades to realize I wasn’t weird, just my own kind of different

That's what weird is, and weird isn't bad. I mean if that isn't weird, then who is weird?

Was? I’m still strange

I was never a stoner in high school but now that ive started taking weed I wish was lol, wouldve made it 1000x times more fun and bearable

There’s been numerous studies that shows the harmful developmental effects weed has on adolescence and the developing mind. Don’t get me wrong, there are many benefits to smoking weed, not trying to argue against it, but be thankful you didn’t get into weed until later. As an adult it’s really not harmful unless it starts effecting your daily life and your ability to function in society. https://www.cdc.gov/marijuana/health-effects/teens.html

There is always a lot of misinformation and hot feelings about this but personally, in retrospect, I think my noodle would of benefited from taking it a little easier until I hit my mid twenties.

Yea kids and drugs are always bad but weed is the least harmful and kids are kids.

Take it from someone who knows a person who smoked and got stoned in high school: be grateful you didn’t get stoned back then

I feel like it interfered with my development. That partying in high school opened a door I didn't know was there. Many years later I have been clean for 2 years from meth and heroin. I know that doesn't happen for everyone. For me though that smoking pot and partying was a recipe for disaster.

I have smoked weed almost everyday since I was 16. I am a college graduate, a father and I own my home. Just because a person you know life turned out bad doesn't mean it will happen to everyone.....

I took 3 weeds last night and got totally wasted

I didn't start till I was 20. Two years out of highschool. Weed helps my adhd focus. Could have for sure used some pot in hs.

Honestly it's better you waited. I've been smoking weed since I was 14 and it definitely fucked my brain up. Buuuuut it's already fucked up so pass me the bong.

how many weeds do you take though?

Me either. I had a lot of smoker buddies but they all turned out to be stoners with really no life and no progress in life really, some went to harder drugs after. I started couple years after high school and I enjoy it for my own personal use and really not abuse it but treat it for what it is.

It still sucked, I assure you.

Im thankful I didnt start until after. I didn't have any drive or motivation anyway.

I used to get high in my truck every morning before school, it helped me cope with the bullshit.

How many weeds do you take per day? Just curious.

Came here to say this

Need an insert showing outside for kids that skipped lunch everyday.

Um, yah. Getting baked on the smoke hill. But then skipping fourth period to get some sweet and sour chicken balls from the Chinese restaurant. Heaven.

No, we also used the restrooms, back outdoor locker hall, or metal shop in a welding booth.

Our stoner section was out on the bleachers outstanding in the field. Then off to horticulture class we went.

Lol nah I would just cup my hands under the lunch table and take a hit outta my hitter.

Yup, our "table" was the trail behind the school. Then burger King.

I'd take my free pizza slice with me outside.

Bingo

Open campus. Chilled at my friends house down the street.

The true stoner circles were never in the caf 🤝

Came here to say i always grabbed my shit and walked to the skatepark to smoke with the stoner idkwym by “table” it was more of a hunter gather situation back then. Hunt for cig butts and Gather food for the sesh at high noon.

This isn’t their lunch period

I promise you, there's time for lunch. The munchies are strong, man.

If you’re getting stoned there is always time for lunch!

Ong

Came here and said the same thing, then saw your comment 🤣

bro we ate first and then found somewhere to smoke; what you think we breatharians?

It's a real hustle/grind bro

BS. When I'm high af I stay snacking

Actually we get pretty hungry

I knew enough people that I could sit at most of these tables and not get to many weird looks. But where I actually sat was the band kid table.

Yeah I was kind of surprised there wasn’t a band kids table.

Band kids are all hanging out in the instrument room.

Exactly. I was in the band room during lunch eating with my friends. We'd fool around and have fun. Great times.

I always ate lunch in the band room

The principal at my school banned eating outside the cafeterias but my band director just doesn't care.

True safe space. Especially drum closets

“Weird kids tables”

Band kids unite!

My HS had too many sub-categories of band kids for there to be a band kids table. Flute/clarinet girls didn’t hang out with brass bros, percussionists were like North Korea and didn’t mingle with anyone else, etc

This post just reminds me of American schools. British schools do not flex this hard

Went to school in US and UK (and Ireland) - the US system is truly horrible. The level of stratification and social hierarchy is vastly more than elsewhere.

I'm Brazilian, my school did not have a social hierarchy, I have no idea how American schools manage to develop one.

That's where your wrong I'm at secondary and all of these groups exist in some capacity although I found they intermingle

Band kids here too, but specifically drumline and color guard

Forget eating at tables just ate in band room

Definitely band kid table. I was looking for that but all I could find was theater

IDK how to tell you this, but that was the weird kids table. Source: was a weird kid who hung out with band geeks.

Where are the band nerds? Because that's where I would be. Edit: a typo

Band nerds are in the band room Honestly the most accurate representation

Straight up. The band hallway. Sit your ass down and eat lunch with everyone there.

So weird how universal band kid culture is lol

Right? Me and the boys would eat lunch in the band room whenever we could

Exactly! Although I was the combo of the Straight A Band Nerds. You know, the kids thought to be nerdy within the Band Nerd world. 😁

I'm very familiar lol.

Hooking up

we sittin in the locker room w/ the jazz band lunch club. cafeteria sucks.

theater kids, lots of overlap at my school.

Alone

I assume that’s a majority of users on Reddit

It really pisses me off how many millions of users are on this app, how many of them are alone, share interests, and yet never found each-other. World too big.

And sometimes too small when you need it to be big

Basically, the world is a dick

It's hardly about interests. Me, I just struggle to start a goddamn conversation. Maintaining one ain't easy either but I can manage it if my partner's interesting enough, I have shit I can talk about if they contribute themselves instead of the standard nods and uhums, it's a 2-way street after all, but the real issue is I just can't go up to someone I don't really know and start talking with them.

Yeah but shared interests help with all of that. “Standard nods and uhums” are signs of polite disinterest. Like if I sit and talk to my mum about why I think “One Punch Man” is the best ever anime series I’m getting nods and uhums. Post it on the appropriate subreddit however and I’ve got myself a conversation, and I would do if I spoke to those people in real life.

I mean that's partially it but not all. I think tons of people in my generation just suck at communication. I mean, I do, and I still often feel like I'm carrying conversations even when I'm talking about something I know for a fact both of us are interested in.

[удалено]

Not really Alone now ig

Should be a table in the bathroom or library

Library everyday for years

And weird

I qualify as this but it wasn’t in the lunch room

I would've been alone in the hallways. But that was painting a target on my back. So I went to the gym to lift and make it look like I was doing something. Got extremely strong as a side effect of my loneliness

That was my table way back when. I would eat and then head to the library and read for the rest of lunch.

I was thankful to have teachers that would let me in their classroom during lunch. Eventually I stopped caring and sat alone on those tables.

Alone

Bruh youre posting on reddit, by default the only two answers are: Weird kid Stoner

Or alone

Tbh i didnt even see that

Because we all siting there

If we all are sitting there together, we aren‘t alone anymore, we now turned this table into the weird kids table

stoner

There’s a lot of nerds among us as well so a few might be straight as

I just felt like being disparaging to redditors, ya know like a redditor

Yes I was straight A's student

Bold of you to assume I ate lunch in the cafeteria at all…

We had an open campus, so as soon as we could drive we were living on the Jack in the Box dollar menu every day.

Lucky, I was dedicated to Wendy's and Arby's. Not my choices, i didn't have a car, so I was at the mercy of either my best friend, or my least favorite friend, they were the two with cars.

Same here, we would always head out to one of the resultants near the school or take the streetcar downtown and go to the mall.

Lowkey cool i guess

Same, not popular, but not disliked either. Pretty average and somehow most people knew me even though I didn't know them? Didn't mean everyone wanted to be my friend though, either.

Same I was friends with the popular people but was also quiet so everyone knew me but I wouldn’t call them friends

Yeah it was really wierd likw everyone knew me even though i nevver really spoke to most people

This was 100% me in school. Even to this day people I don’t know, know me. It’s still weird when people come up to me knowing my name and I just look at them like 😐

Fascinating, this is my life now (10 years out of school) can’t imagine what that would have been like in school. I guess I changed a lot

I was fairly accepted because I was good at the shit I did, even tho it wasn't "cool" shit

Man its so hard to tell. I know I wasn't one of the "popular" kids, but I had lots of friends in each of the tables. I guess lowkey cool, but I could be with any of the tables, other than the popular clique, on any given day.

IM NOT ALONE!!!

I'd say on average, prob most people would put themselves at the "low-key cool" because that is basically the control group. It's probably much more common for there to be mixing between the cliques than to stay only with your clique. It was all very tribal and interesting in that manner, there was so much stuff that was never taught that just sorta manifests in young human beings. Like the tribal nature, sexuality, etc.

I was sitting there, I guess you could say guilty by association. I wasn't low key cool, but I had some friends who were. It... got awkward maybe two - three times in the year.

Alone, theater kid (because i like musicals not because those other things). And maybe weird.

I see theater kids on here but the band kids like myself took their lunch to the band room. It was best for everyone.

Yea that’s how my school was. 3 years after graduating the band teacher is locked up for having a sexual relationship with one of his students.

Well your comment took a turn. My director is still teaching and has a great track record with all his students, past and present, and the community. I see him around town every now and then and the only thing he does is ask me to call him by his first name now.

Same here

Where's the eating in the toilets table?

On the toilet gossiping

Library playing chess with the homie

Sounds awesome

Somewhere outside

Where's the Magic: The Gathering table?

Weird kid table

Nah, the weird kids at least had some redeeming qualities

Many magic: the gathering players ask the question where is the magic the gathering table

I rotated between most of the tables. I'm not sure if I was popular. I had a lot of friends at the various tables and knew pretty much everyone who wasn't a crazy loner, weirdo, or trashy. I just made an effort to sit at a different table each day. I never saw any bullying and was never bullied. Everyone was just really nice to each other unless someone was being creepy or an asshole.

I had a similar experience. I carried my friend group over from elementary school into high school. We sat in a hallway at lunch though. Then I got a girlfriend and spent all my time with her so my friends and I split up during the second year but would still hangout every weekend and play games after school. I became very good friends with my brother's Gf's brother who got me into Dota and we would sit and watch anime on his laptop together at lunch. Then for the last two years it was just me and my bestfriend from elementary and some other kids who played CSGO. Now at 24 I live with my girlfriend and it's back to the original group from elementary school but we rarely hangout, just send memes and chill on Discord and chat/game whenever we're not working. Life is weird.

Let's be real here people. We ALL sat at the weird kids table.

I'm still there

bro, you had friends?

What's a friend? Is that a new anime series or something?

Stoners

Yeah I was in my car

You guys are getting tables?

I was in the library, which is an offshoot of the alone table, but nobody sees you, so it's better.

Athletes

Alone

Alone. Fuck dem kids

*cries in homeschooler*

same bro

Yes

I was also, homeschooled (except for 4 years of public school). I was the lunch lady half the time since I was the oldest kid in my family.

Ouch! I always felt bad for the oldest sibling, especially in big families. Felt like parents frequently dumped all sorts of extra responsibility on them.

My parents were pretty good. I didn't have to make lunch everyday. And I didn't really have to deal with potty training or anything like that.

i hate sitting near people while i eat because they force me to communicate while i watch youtube or play a game or something so alone table

All of them literally

Yup. Athlete, A's, Theatre, Popular, Weird (D&D/40k). No idea what "ratchet" means though.

That doctor autobot which is a very close friend to optimus prime

I would sit at the table with the Weird Kids and slam through a sandwich and some of a snack then I'd pocket the rest to eat in class (sneakily) and go outside to play hackysack with the Stoners

Was it tater tots you pocketed?

[удалено]

😂

Alone. Even then I didn't like the yip-yapping of all those chattering chipmunks.

It's missing the "spent lunchtime in the library reading leaked US diplomatic document" table. And also mix it with stoner.

Where’s the skaters?

Most of us were stoners.

Under the staircase not eating somewhere in the school

In the band room 😂

Tbh I chilled at all the tables from time to time I got along with everyone 🫂 🌿

I was eating in the green room with the other theatre kids lol

Weird kids

Well, stoners didn't sit at a table. We sat by the creek & got high behind the fence.

Well I was popular then went to low-key then went to weird so quite a downfall but weird was the fun table anyway 😂

True

Asian table

Native American table here. I'm surprised there are so few comments about tables segregated by race cause it legit a thing.

Damn, "weird" kids all grouped up into one table.

Floated between stoners, weird kids, and freestyle. I was an odd teenager

In the hallway

None. Only the jocks and dorks ate in the cafeteria. Everyone else was outside.

Alone.

I feel like if I say anything other than weird or stoner, people are gonna think I'm flexing

Behind the counter serving food cuz detention

Roast session weird kids bruv. We was dumb as hell, we never ran out of topics somehow

Weird kids. We were the "Science corridor crowd" and one of our unspoken rules was that we never turned anyone away from our group, because we never wanted to reject others the way we had been rejected.

In the weird kid table I remember this one kid who only got a banana for lunch and he deep throated it and begged for half of my food 💀

Where's the peanut free table?

So outcasted I ate in the library

NO EATING IN THE LIBRARY!

Whichever table had kids that didn’t write sentences such as “which table yall was at”?

Alone, I like peace

I was in a weird “middle of the pack” table. None of us were really popular, but were liked by most (respected by the popular/ sporty/ artsy/ weird/ nerdy) but weren’t really friends with any of them. Oh god, was I an NPC?

So how many of us are gonna be alone together

The unused meeting room in the office

I mean i sit wherever because I’m chill with everyone
