I was a little too close to being The Mother Hen. She was also the girl whom all the boys were great friends with, but never dated.

I used to be the "thinky" before. Haha! Although I became the add-on "the couple". Then of course as it said, the final break-up. Although I haven't quite finished that I.D., because I just graduated. Haha

Oh, man. We definitely had a Stinky in my college ministry. This kid was so gross that his freshman year, the boys on his floor physically THREW him into the shower (no mean feat considering he probably weighs 400, 500 lbs)! AND HE STILL DIDN'T CATCH ON. On a mission trip, he stepped on a rusty nail and then went and let it get infected because he didn't follow doctor's orders to keep it clean. We were a very hug-friendly group, but he was the one nobody hugged cause you wouldn't be able to get the smell of several months of filth out of your nose for the rest of the night. Ah, memories.

One more to add-

"The Couple"

Everyone in youth group is happy when they are together. When they break up, everyone takes sides. They always end up back together at a retreat or camp. At the beach retreat,they get matching airbrush t-shirts.
You all think they'll get married but there is one final break-up and that's it. They marry other people from youth group or the guy becomes a youth minister.

Rachel, I <3 you.

I'm sorry, I am well-known to have a wicked sense of humor, but some of these are coming off as judgmental and mean… Youth groups are made up of individuals, not labels, and especially at the age they are, they don't need the so-called leaders in their life sticking gray dots and gold stars on them.

It seems like the ones with the biggest defects tend to go on to walk a great life in Christ later on. We're not much good until we've been broken of ourselves. Having nothing of our flesh to be proud of makes it easy to give it all to God. Just looking at most of the "heroes" of the Bible I imagine an image of God choosing them out of the Least-Likely-to-Succeed section of their school yearbooks.
