I was that guy that tried talking to those like Kali, the quiet ones. It usually ended in them hating me, them being cool with me and hanging out in the small group of friends I had, or they showed the reason they were always alone and had no friends. In high school, I got along with everyone, Never had big problems.
Before school: Pretty outgoing I guess. Then my birth father tried to murder my mom (after having been beating her for quite some time before this) resulting in a divorce. And almost everyone from his side of the family forgetting I exist.
Elementary School: Shy, but made quite a few friends during my time there. Good times.
Intermediate School: Even shyer(sp?) due to friends having to go to other schools. Friendly with everyone in the school band, except one girl who I eventually became sorta friends with in 8th grade. Was kinda cool with everyone in my year. Both popular and unpopular people.
High School: I was super quiet. Didn't really every strike up a conversation with others. Lots of people thought I was interesting or something and started talking to me though. Was on good terms with everyone in band. Built up a small group of friends in Sophomore year. By Senior year petty arguments ended up decimating the group, so I kinda floated between the fractions. Lost touch with everyone.
Also, spent a lot of my time in high school irritated at all times. Rebellious phase (aside from refusing to do homework) passed me over and I wanted to rip my hair out every time someone bragged about how wasted they'd been or who the latest person they slept with was. Or girls pressuring others to sleep with someone, because you can't leave high school without getting laid!
...Or how many orgies they attended the past month. I wish I was kidding. ._.
People seem to look back on high school fondly. I hated almost all of it and I wasn't even bullied.
