The halls, the community, the city, the country, the world; it seems as if there are more chances of being a "nobody" compared to being an "anybody." In high school, being a nobody is the greater population than the anybodies, as in any circumstance as well. By juvenile definition, the nobodies seem to be narrowed down to those not "famous" to the general population--i.e. those not participating in clubs, playing on sports teams, or hanging up posters for student council. However, these nobodies are not just nobodies to everybody, for every nobody can find somebody who has something in common, someone to be a friend.
Perhaps the so-called nobodies are really just the extroverts, timid and shy, or not found causing disruptions in class as the class-clown. The nobodies generally do not carry a negative or positive connotation, but instead drift along as the everyday crowd, not causing a wave, or at least not in the spotlight.
Nobodies do not always come without substance, and more often than not have as much in common with the next person to come along. A "nobody" isn't usually a nobody because everybody means something to somebody else. :)
