Ok, we've all heard of them. High school's stereotypes. The classic ones that you see in movies all the time, like the jock and the nerd, and some relatively new ones like the emo kid, and the crazy ones like the quiet kid who snaps and shoots everyone...

Ah yes, beloved high school. It's not fair to judge, but by god, we can't possibly know everyone, so we make little categories and groups in our mind, right? I've heard of a few, but help me out here guys. What stereotypes/cliques/groups/fads/etc have you all seen or heard of? What exactly does that mean (not everyone might know)? Which groups do you love? Which groups do you absolutely hate? Which stereotype(s) are you, in your opinion? What stereotype(s) are you considered by your peers? And any other thoughts on stereotypes... This is a discussion! Blab all you want.

I think that all of the high school stereotypes are basically true up to a point. As far as which ones I identify with, I honestly have to say...none of them. I can't really think of a good category to organize my friends into, either. And honestly, I'm not too upset about this because most stereotypes are formed based on the variety of ways that people can be dumb/annoying.

I is a jock

My high school has these stereotypes;

The CAFricans; A group of african people, all annoying and stupid as hell, who sit in the cafeteria all hours of the day banging on the windows and not letting anyone out the main doors.

The "Hockey Boys"; the boys who play on our local hockey team. they're usually arrogant assholes, but you find the rare one that is not.

The Hockey Girls; the girls are usually nicer, but a lot of them have a very nasty side.

The Wannabe hockey boys; The boys who wish they knew how to play, and sit with the hockey boys/girls to look cool.

The Abercrew; Wear Hollister and Abercombie & Fitch. Usually rich and stuck up.

The Tech Crew; bunch of weird kids who are good at the tech and stuff.

there's like a million more, but i'm too lazy to list them.

That's another stereotype, lol... the normal kids who don't really fit into one stereotype.

CAFricans, lol, what does C stand for?

I know what you mean by Abercrew, I just never had a name for them... they are always wearing those brand name clothes and I envy them because they have rich parents to spoil them...

We don't really have a tech crew, but TV Video is pretty substantial at our school. They make video bulletins and cover major sporting events and school events...

I consider myself the guy who does everything, the prep, who is... in cross-country and track teams, is trying for the lead in all 3 school plays next year, is going for a seat in acadecathlon, takes as many AP classes as he can cram into 7 hours, is learning to strum the guitar, is doing community service (volunteering) every weekend, is going to start a Salsa dancing club next year, a member of Link Crew, an officer of Key Club, has the most hours of our Red Cross, and is friends with all the teachers in order to get recommendations, all to go to college. I pretty much hang out with everyone everywhere. ^_^

The only stereotypes I can't stand are the underachievers and the kids who don't talk to anyone at all, no matter what you say. I don't mean underachievers like "Ah, I don't feel like I need Honors English this year, and it seems pretty hard, I'll drop it." I mean underachiever like "School's GAY I think I'll just come here to bash on the teachers and make sniping comments toward everyone."

When I attended college we had a wide selection of annoying assholes.

The Pakistani cunts who love to block hallways and even though they live in our country, still speak urdu and try insult you if the oppertunity arises.

Goths, typical really, they stay in the common room whenever they are not in lessons and play music, they don't cause a fuss.

Emo kids hang with the goths.

Chavs don't make it to college generally, but the ones who do are scarce and have learnt not to be such dicks and hang around in various casual groups.

General population, the people who don't care to stand out and are generally the nicer bunch, unlike the goths and emos whom like to shit stir amongst each other, they're everywhere and anywhere and make no fuss.

I've just generally noticed that a lot more of the goth looking kids are having sex with each other than other 'groups' are. Is this just what I see or is it kind of true?

Your school must be different than mine. At my school, it's the usual: the jocks and the girl-jocks. (I can't just say "cheerleaders" because everyone who's on a sports team at my school thinks they're the best thing since sliced bread.)

I'm an arrogant ass...what group am I in?

I think you could be a part of just about any clique in my school.

I don't wanna be a part of a group full of idiots.

Yeah, but regardless of if you want to, you just said that you were an arrogant ass. If that's true, then you would fit in anywhere at my school.

I'm fairly new to the school I'm attending now but from what I've seen there is a couple basic stereotypes:
Drama kids
Band kids
Smart Jocks
Not-so-smart Jocks
The Socially Awkward
And finally the kids who come to school just because they're forced and figure they might as well ruin people's days while they're at.

The only group I'm really not fond of is the last one. I hang out with everyone and try to not get too deep into their circle so I don't have to deal with any of the drama :].

At my old school there were only two stereotypes:
The rich kids
The scholarship kids

I don't think I'm really in a group. People think I'm really weird though, but that's only because I can't communicate my feelings properly.

my school isn't too diverse:
-the stoner really "cool" crowd that wears the "green team" shirts and listen to hip hop and are all really lame
-the speech and debate/choir/theatre kids who are cool
-the band kids who smoke too much weed, generally
-the skate boarders/BMXers who often fit in the with the stoner crowd
-the hipster crowd who are pretty okay, but boring
-the scene/emo kids who are generally freshmen.
-the mexican emo kids who are okay
-the mexican pride kids who generally don't like me.
-the jocks who are okay, I guess I could fit in this crowd, but not really. I remember at the my English teacher saying "Liz, I didn't know you were a jock" at the mention of my name on the announcements during soccer season. They're okay.
-the really pretty girls I like but don't talk to me girls.
they're really neat.
