The quiet kid, often the student in class that goes unnoticed. There are voluntary quiet
kids, and there are involuntary quiet
kids. Voluntary quiet
kids are often loners, who are very self-sufficient, and can in some cases be motivated to stay unnoticed, or low-key. Involuntary quiet
kids may have
shy tendencies, and may actually be too timid to initiate friendship. Often labled as mysterious, or weird by classmates. Many have suffered negative lables by judgemental people such as: gay,
emo,
goth, 'mental',
shy, rude, mean, stuck-up, and boring, which is unfair to the quiet kid, because most people (yes, even teachers), make these judgements without taking the time to understand or get to know the individual. Often the quiet-kid is not "boring" as some may suggest, but instead may not feel that the people in their environment are good for their personality, especailly with most people being so judgemental anyway.

Adult colleauge: Damn, you'
re pretty chill, I would've never thought.
Friend: I never really fit in, it's funny because they never took the time to get to know me.
