I get stereotyped I'm emo but I don't cut I just dress like one I don't know why I'm not depressed I just really love the colour black nod also I hang in my room alot on my own and people say I'm not emo because I don't cut I'm confused I don't cut but I swear alot of black am I emo or not
"pot heads" are by no mean stupid, if that were the case, then how do all the famous people manage to be succesful?
And how are most of the people at my school that are "pot heads" graduating with some of the highest gpas???
When i was 7 i started doing pot because of my older brother who was 5 years older than me and we both are very dumb
I have a friend who smokes weed and was accepted into Harvard for math
People who are addicted to weed. Bags under eyes, shaking, that sort of stuff.
sterio type "stoners are dirty, lazy, and un motivated." Reality, I'm a stoner girl who strives for what she wants. And I love doing my hair and make up. so dont sterio type (:
My friend smokes weed and just got into Cambridge. Behold, people. Proof!
I agree, anyone who says a stoner has no future, is stupid or anything similar has no clue. Two of the smarts, and most promising individuals at my school are pot heads.
Based on your grammatical and spelling errors, you have just contradicted yourself my friend.
not every high school kid that smokes weeed will go nowhere or not all get baaad grades 0R they can care about schoool ! so screw offfff.
not all potheads get bad grade or not care about school and not all of them fail at life.

i'm a emo-punk-goth and some say we cut ourselves, no we don't and we have feelings and we aren't always deppressed. i'm the sort of goth-emo-bookworm-nerd-punk-funny girl
Emo is not emotional. If that were the case, everyone would be emo. No, its short for emotive hardcore, a music genre that started in the 80s by a band in Washington D.C. Most people who believe that "emos" including emos themselves, commonly make this mistake. Another mistake is tgat all emos cut. This is not true. I and a group at my school are emo, and we dont cut. But it is a typical question we are asked by "popular" people.
i'm belonged to the group of emo's at my old school and honestly if people come and talk to us we are cool and we will talk to them..but people stay away from us cuz we look "intimidating" which i always found funny! and now i'm the emo girl at my new school. Everyone knows me as that...and it doesn't bother me. People think i'm weird but honestly i like being different from everyone else. Some people say they admire me for sticking up for what i want to do and ignoring all the hate-full comments. :)
I agree, Im not a emo kid, but I hang around that crowed and Im really getting sick of ally these sterotypes...
Emo is actually an offensive term people use to discribe someone who feels nothing but truthfully emo is short for emotional and aren't we all emotional?
How about you guys STOP making stupid stereotypes, maybe emo people LIKE who they are and want to be different, not like everyone else
I agree with both comment #5, and also with the comments about it being a music genre. Both are right - yes, this is a list of *stereotypes*, so there's no need to get your knickers in a twist because they're not accurately portraying you (I'm talking about you, comment #6) - it's almost as if you want to be emo! And, as far as genres go, isn't that how a lot of stereotypes or styles are born? I mean, emo (as a "style") is just a product of punk and new-wave, which both are taken directly from genres of music.
Also, to the author of comment #6: I am bi-polar. You could say that *my* emotions get in the way of everything, but I don't sit around pretending that nobody understands or feels as deeply as I do. When all is said and done, you can't possibly know exactly how strongly other people feel, and they may find it insulting that you feel you're on a higher plane than them emotionally. It seems elitist, when you're not even the elite. Personally, I think it seems like you *want" to fit into a stereotype, which means you're just as apparently shallow as the people you condemn. Nobody's emotions are superior to others, and no two people feel things exactly the same. Let's not be narrow-minded, now...
Yeah, emo is a genre of music. It's also short for emotional in music/fashion. emo's don't always cut themseles. Most do but not all!
I agree with the last comment. emo is actually a music genre but people decided to make it into a look.
ACTUALLY! emo is none of what you idiots above say. emo is a music genre, the longer name is emotional hardcore. as in hardcore punk. look up the band embrace on youtube.
im an emo n ive never cut myself, i occansionally wear skinny jeans, i do have the stereotypical emo fringe but i wear it back an awful lot! n i normally try to stay out of peoples way (so im not an attention seeker) bc i get bullied bc im an emo. i do wear eyeliner but no more than any normal girl wud!
to all: emo is neither a style nor a "I want attention" stereotype. emo is the way a person is. its not their fault if they just feel emotions stronger than others do. i would be stereotyped as what some would call a "wannabe" but if you KNEW me, you'd know i was emo bc my emotions get in the way of everything. so make sure you know what you're talking about before you talk about it. i dont wear my hair in my eyes. i dont always wear skinny jeans. im a classy dresser, but im EMO!!!!!! i dont cut myself. i dont cry in class- well i do occasionally, when i've had a stressful day. but im not the "stereotyped" emo, but im still emo, when the day's all done. PEACE!!!!!
People, you've got to remember that this is a list for high school STEREOTYPES. The 'emo' description is exactly how people stereotype emos, and they stereotype them that way because those characteristics are largely shared by that particular group. Don't get defensive over it. I'm not bothered by the 'cheerleader' description because it's obviousely stereotypical.
i'm with comment #2 and they dont want anymore attention than anyone else in the world. so you really should know what your talking about before you say things like that.
To comment number 2, you're in the wrong section, buddy. You're in wannabes. Also all emos are in the "I want attention" section.
uhm. correrction to your little comment there. emo is a style. and most emo people dont hate there life. how do i know? im one of them. and btw i rrarely ever wear eyeliner.
The kid that has longass hair that covers his eyes full of eyeliner, and hates his life

some people chose to be loners and others have no choice if everyone ignores them
i have always been a loner. no matter how hard i try i cant make friends. i hate it.
just because someone is a loner doesn't mean they don't have friends! We just choose to be alone.
I'm popular, athletic, smart, and good-looking but I choose to be a loner....people get on my nerves so much...I have friends but I prefer to be on my own...especially around strangers
i was also a loner from grades 3-7 but i loved to have friends as they always were with me. but in my final grade at primary school, i left for overseas 3 months before end of semester. so when i started highschool i knew no-one and i was classified as a loner. i am now quite popular in my friend group and i am happy that i was able to experience being a loner because i can understand how others feel and i always talk to people at my school if they have no-one to hang out with.
i used to be a loner all the way from year 4-7, when i got into highschool, i was picked on a lot because of my height. after a while, a group of people asked me many times to hangout with them but i often declined politely as i am really nervous around people i dont know as i am used to being alone. but now im in year 9 and those same people are my closest friends and i am friends with nearly everyone in my class, as they are like school family. i have more friends than i have ever had now and i am happy. keep in there guys!! you'll make friends and make sure to just be yourself!!
Almost always people are loners because they choose to be. I am a smart athletic loner with some friends. Some people are just stupid so I ignore them and henceforth made my self a loner.
To all loners: just be yourself. Screw what other people think. We're in the same boat. :)
people dont realize being a loner is not so bad its gots its perks such as not having to deal with drama ,not having be frustrated about grades becuase we focus and we do make friends (the right type who will listen and you can be yourself around)
"Nobody's interested in me." My suggestion? Be more interesting.
I feel sorry for loners. I was one once but then I found a group of friends eventually. Theres still hope. :)
This year is the first year I'm a 100% loner. It's my senior year and I made the choice to become one. Totally fine with it.
Ugh, this ones me for sure! Sucks soo much. Been one since 5th grade & still am as a Junior. Can't make friends, not sure if it's because i'm shy or what.. Nobody's interested in me.
i'm a loner, and it's not because i want to be one. i moved in fourth grade, and at my new school a lot of the girls were really mean to me and started spreading rumors. it took like four years b4 i really even had like 3 good friends. and to this day i only have 3 good friends. its been 6 years. and still only those three people talk to me
being a loner myself I wait until people come towards me I won't try to get to know strangers because I'm very shy and it's hard to talk to people I don't know well enough
i'm a loner, but i like having friends. I just have issues with my self confidence. i feel that people won't like me and will think i'm a dork so i wait and see who talks to me.
Being a loner myself, I think that it's that people with friends surrounding them simply can't read the mood, (y'know, simply -sense- when someone's bored, happy, etc.), because they have friends that have their emotions practically on a billboard.
In other words, it's just lack of understanding.
^Aw, I want to take you to my house and bake you cookies. Bless.
Hang in there! (But don't go hating on the arts - being an actor or singer can be a tough profession, and it takes a hell of a lot of drive to be successful. It's not their fault if they have lame fans.)
I'm a loner at school, I only have like 3 real friends there and I don't speak much to people.
It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have the right comebacks, or I don't know about stuff they do (dyou think I give crap about *actor* or *singer*?)
As a kid I had friends, but in 1st grade, people just started driving away from me for no reason (I didn't change from the year before, like wtf?) and it became hard to have friends from that point on.
Anyways it's really lonely and I'm not the kind of person who likes to be lonely...I actually enjoy talking to people. A lot. (:
Yea. Most loners are only loners cus they don't have a choice. Often everyone we try to talk to simply doesn't talk back cus were allready labelled a loner. Its a never ending circle........untill the end of school.
not always by choice. some loners may be loners bc they were outcasts.

Jocks are sports fans with few or no other interests who are popular for the sole reason of being good at sports. In my experience, many misuse their popularity, are very egocentric, and are typicly not that great of a person, but they still manage to have more "friends" than most other people. But of course this doesn't address the main point. I think that jocks are sometimes stupid egocentric jerks, but they can occasionally be nice, good people.
i was a jock, but you would never expect it bcause i was always in honors and AP classes, never failed anything but people didnt know that either or they would have classified me as a "nerd"
stereotypically no brained, popular, plays a lot of sports... stereotypically
Jock: athlete who abuses his popularity and usually doesn't have good grades.
Athlete: Student who plays school sports
There's a difference
At all previous comments, if a jock is simply taken to be a person who participates actively in school athletics, then there is no need to attach additional information which does not exist. Of course, all of this may or may not be rubbish if you do not agree with the given definition. Otherwise, designating a specific associated intelligence is completely arbitrary.
If your saying that jocks are stupid think again... you do realize in order to play sports in high school you HAVE to maintain good average all the while juggling your schedule.
i was a jock in high school. i played softball and volleyball i did AP classes and never failed any classes and was in 2 clubs outside of everything. we have brains people were not stupid
You'd be surprised. they may act like they don't have brains, but it's most likely just that. an ACT. bc i know a LOT of "jocks" that are actually very smart, they just choose not to show it and goof off in class. besides, they have to have brains to play sports bc if they fail, they're off the team.

i live in sydney, australia and at my school (which is quite large) and in my grade, there are not really any popular kids or cliques, most people have friends and pretty much everyone knows eachother, but there is a class clown in my class (the smart class, im not bragging or anything, that is its name) who is quite popular and easy to hang out with. he is quite annoying at times though as he unties peoples shoelaces and is always annoying my group (the girls)!!
At my school, there is no such thing as, "popluar" and there are no, "groups" (ex: emos, jocks, preppies, etc.). So honestly none of these stereotypes apply to my school at all haha.
Differently of popular kids, this Class Clown kid didn't have to look amazing to get the attention and be popular... they simply are themselves. And they make everybody laugh. So people want to be with them cause they are funny, and not for shallow reasons like the way people want to be with so called "popular" kids, that just gain everybody's attention due to their "stunning looks".
also can be a class clutz- someone who falls a lot, trips over nothing, drops the beaker filled with dangerous acidic chemicals, etc. lol.
they don't have to be popular they can just be someone to make everyone laugh cause i'm a class clown and i'm a nobody kind of person or normal lol

Thats me... I just got an art scholarship, I am described as the "nice one" everyone likes me, I am as a "fashionista" apparently I do like posh things...
this is sorta like me. at school, art and french are some of my most interesting and best subjects, and im quite shy and some people just think im a classy nerd, but i get along with everyone else. im quite kind too, always helping others when they need it.
I feel like these traits explain me...
But I'm not really artistic at all...
i was an artist and i kinda hated it but no one knew i was so they classified me as a nerd and a jock
The artist, at best, is 'artistic'. There. Conversation solved :D
artists express themselves in different ways, therefore its incorrect to put them all in the same catagory. I'm an artist, but I'm shy in public, my friend is an artist, and she is one the loudest and most obnoxious people I've ever met
i agree with comment #7. I'm proud to be artsy, thats what i like to do. it shows who i am, and if you don't like it then i won't let it bother me.
^whats wrong with taking pride in yourself, its not like every one else is so giving at times.
^Why all this self-gratifying? God, I don't want to be an artist if they're all so vain!
Independent..excellent observer, as it goes, a great listner.

I posted the last comment I forgot to say that it amazes me how many girl gamers there are now but they still go for the cool kids and douche bags rather than people who have things in common with them. :(
I am a gamer and it is amazing. I love being me but... no one else seems to like gamers other than gamers which means its extremely hard to get any sort of relationship with a person who is not a gamer as they just see me as "that kid who plays games" I have fully functional people skills but no one sees that because I am a gamer and it sucks, thank god I always have a quest to do when I get home xD
Halo 4 here i come!!
+ my yearly exams are in 2 weeks
oh well, ill postpone to Halo 5 then...
JKS!!
GAMER FOR LIFE (i still study and excercise though) and i hate stereotypes about gamers only being middle-aged single men, because im a girl, and i love FPS games, especially on xbox & pc!!
world of warcraft 24/7 even while in school! The best dam people on the face of the earth, they don't give a crap about cheerleaders, there's plenty of night elf strippers on WoW !!
I'm more or less a gamer. Just know that while we use a lot of our time gaming; there is usually more to us than that.
haha at my school lots of people are gamers. im on the basketball team and more than half of us play games constantly
Oh.... those people are so annoying. The only time they are okay to talk to is if you know what they are talking about and have played that game before
We are the best to talk to on games...Go combat arms,Fable3 and fallout new vegas... we kick ASS on games

like teh populars, always saying "OMG OMG"
dress in brand name clothes and have their groupies
Comments:
Preps in fact can dress just cuz their like it, and be cheery cuz their are simply happy, and do NOT look down at people simply cuz their are different, oh and also their can be preps who are smart.
Typically "preppies" are some of the most impressive people in the school. I've found them to be smart, motivated, uptight (not always a bad thing), and all around high achievers. They also tend to have excellent people skills and are usually good looking. People's problems with this group seem to be mostly based on their perceived arrogance. In many cases, their arrogance is more or less justified. They are often extremely well rounded, and tend to be above average in almost everything (although they rarely excel at any one thing, besides social stuff).
yup...i hate all of em..the ones at my school no one likes em yet they think that every one is in love with them...
"q" is nowhere near "g" on the Qwerty Keyboard. It's nowhere near "g" on any keyboard, for that matter.
Anyways, to my knowledge, "Preppy" is a shortened version of "preparatory," referring to the attendance of preparatory schools, which would be most closely linked to the status of wealth. In fact, this may not be a proper stereotypical class at all, as there are undoubtably various social structures and personal distinctions within these preparatory schools, akin to those present in public schools. Just my 2 pence.
obviously you guys are all retarded and can't just realize that you live in different countries so you spell things differently. or you realize that and are arguing for the sake of arguing cause you have nothing better to do in actual life. you guys would probably be labeled the "loners" accordingly, in reference to this list. why is everyone so stupid?
Preppies in my school are annoying... the only they do is jump up and down and go 'Yay!' It was freaky, one day, when this guy imitated them and they came into class at the exact moment. poor guy was labelled 'gay' for the next three days before he told it to their faces that he was imitating them. It was like World War 3...
btw it isn't spelled, it is spelt.
LOL, To the person who said "Everyone is sort of one" - No they're not. Lol. No they're not. I go out of my way to be friends with anyone OTHER than the Preps.
They really like the social environment and are very concerned with being accepted, so they dress in brand name clothes, as said above, in order to fit in. They don't like to be alone, and are almost always seen with their friends.
reguardless was spelt wrong-
Sorry that was me spelling requardless

It is BAND NERD!!!!!!!!!!!
and trumpets are the best ever!!!!!!! and band nerds are actually some of the greatest people someone could ever meet!
My friend ran off with m French Horn... NEVER TAKE A BAND GEEK'S INSTRUMENT!! You will pay the price.
In my band we aren't always the most popular but! We rocked our festival last year! And we where Pretty dang awesome this field season! BAND GEEK FOR LIFE!!
Band Nerds are the best. i play trumpet in a high school band in Alabama, and in my own personal opinion, we're pretty damn good:)
We have a 180-person band at my school and i'm not gonna lie, we're awesome. 8D But we don't get treated like it. :/ We went to the Midwest Clinic in Chicago a year ago, which is a huge deal(you have to audition to be invited, only about three high school bands in the WORLD get picked to go every year), and no one cared about the hard work we did at all. Our peers and the staff don't appreciate the tiny things we do either. They just use us. :/
awsome people but i heard someone overtallking saying that we had obligations to sit their jv football game and play
at my school the band is state champs. plus nobody really even cares if there in band or not
... My school is band crazy... your not cool unless your in band lol and there are people who hum pieces all day... the band people are there before school, at lunch and stay after school... weird.
the one who practices their part of music or work in class...with other bandies
not necessarily....... they could just hum band pieces all day....... lol.

I LOVE READING! I got a really high Reading level and some of the kids in my class where like "Whoa" I love reading and don't care what anyone has to sya about it! BOOKWORM FOR EVER!
I'm a big bookworm. There is nothing wrong with wanting to read books. I love to read and am not gonna take being bullied because of it. I'm a small girl and can take care of myself. People beware..... DON'T MESS WITH THIS BOOKWORM!!!
reading should not be a stereotype as it is a neccessity if you want to get anywhere in life.
i love to read, and when people call me a bookworm, i take it as a compliment!! ('you're such a bookworm" - "thanks, i know"). i still love to do PE and i love gaming too!! hater of stereotypes!!
reading is good. i dont think that this should even qualify as a "sterotype"
I'm one of the "popular girls and i know at least 5 of the girls in my group (including myself) read regularly!! :)

I play: Flute, Guitar, French Horn, Drums, clairnet and I like to sing alittle. I am a TOTAL Band Geek, Musician, and regular geek!!
that was me below, and I sing, play electric guitar and bass, piano, drums and anything else I can get My hands on!!!!!!!!
to be a musician is not to be confused with band lamo's. we're much more classy and sophisticated, and mostly play instruments such as the chello, piano, trumpet, violin etc. i love violin and the piano, but i am not stuck up like some people would think.
I play flute and piano!
I'm not really a loner but I'm not very popular either, but when we're in music class everyone wants to pair up with me, even when it's individual work!- that's why I kinda like music lessons :)
I understand. I have a friend whose love for music is so great I think he's going to do something in that field years from now. He would compare composers, their works, but not obnoxiously.
I'm a popular girl but i'm a Museo. I sing, play guitar and piano!!
Also a bit of more mixtures.. i dance (modern, hiphop, contemporary and ballet) and act.
there is always stereotypes within each clique
I'm in the children's choir in church.
It's for 2 graders all the way to highschool.
I barely fit any of the groups.
Although I have friends I consider myself a loner.
I'm totes a band geek, but I get it. Band geeks have marching spirit and like the social aspect of band. They watch marching videos. Musicians love...music. They practice all the time and they have a high level of musical knowledge. It's COMPLETELY POSSIBLE TO BE BOTH!, So don't be hating.
the difference is that band geeks play brass instruments and a singular drum etc the music they play is completely different -.-
these people are in rock bands i think and play instruments like guitar bass and drums
Seriously...this is the same as a band geek. THERE IS NOT A DIFFERENCE!! They both play instruments. Please tell me what's so different about them!
im guessing they mean students who play an instrument outside of school, like people in local rock bands and such.
Band kids are MUSICIANS!!!!!!!!!!! if your gonna place band kids under the term "band geek" then this category shouldnt be here!!!!! orchestra kids would be under "orcha-dork" . do you even no what the definition of musician is???? here i'll tell you.Oxford dictionary defines it as a person who plays a musical instrument.

I think sm of them (in particular, the one that I like), can be nice, but others can be egotistical arrogant idiots just like the jocks that they love so much for a reason that is still unclear and hated by me (my crush likes one of those heartless types of jocks if it was a nice one it'd be fine but a egotistical idiot? *shakes head*)
Cheerleaders in my school aren't technically 'popular', I'm one of them. We may be more I don't know noticeable than other kids, but people don't really like us at my school, they do a little bit but not a lot, like the Band Geeks. We also get stereotyped as well, people say aren't you supposed to do this aren't you supposed to do that? I'm about getting the crowd & student section excited, and pumped for our football players. It doesn't matter who we are we just like what we do.
I'm a cheerleader and I know it can be really hurtful when people call us sluts and airheads. And, cheerleading isn't about short skirts and popularity. It's about raising spirit, and getting people excited.
In my experience, after a while that is, most popular girls have hard edge toward other girls and, of course, are great with guys and stuff. I tend to associate a popular girl with someone to steer clear of because they can be kind of cruel in their own way, whether they really mean to or not.
there's a difference between popular girls and cheerleaders. You CAN be popular and not cheer of be a mean girl. Some of you guys are confusing popular girls with preps.
They are people who attract the most attention
in school. They can take advantage of it
and put down people.
Okay my school doesn't have cheerleaders, and most people can't be fit into stereotypes... ive had things from many of these... and the one cheerleader I do know would probably be classified under goth, punk or emo..maybe even hipster
I was very popular in high school and I wasnt the most attractive one or the bitchy one or the mean one. I was just nice to everyONE. And that got me far in life. I have a great family, friends, and job and couldn't ask for more. Just give someone a friendly smile every once in a while and see what happens. :) higdfhjf
Plus, that's what makes popular girls popular: they simply gain attention easily and are admired, envied and desired. But for the simple fact they look gorgeous (flawless hair, flawless makeup and flawless flattering style) in a way that everybody desires. And if they are total bitches, people will just talk bad things behind their back, cause they wouldn't have the guts to risk their social status for fighting with a beautiful girl.
Believe me, beautiful girls WITH girly beautiful style intimidate and gain attention easily. That's why they are popular.
Society is superficial, just like teens, even if you deny it.
When you are in a place full of people, if a perfectly BEAUTIFUL and STYLISH person enters the room, won't everybody automatically look at her? And won't simply most people be attracted to that, both girls and boys? But girls in a manner that admires or envies, and boys feel romantically attracted.
Well, those are Popular girls, and they might be bitchy, but they are still desired because they are ATTRACTIVE, so they ATTRACT everybody else's attention, both of girls and boys...
And that's because they have flawless hair, flawless beautiful faces and they dress stylish and pretty... and this overall look makes them simply damn attractive. And you want to LOOK like that or be with someone attractive like that...
Even if they are damn bitches!
I mean, you might not be superficial, but it's human INSTINCT to WANT TO BE LIKE or DESIRE to be with a beautiful flawless looking girl... and that's why POPULAR GIRLS are popular... cause they are desired... and that's for their FLAWLESS looks and style.
Being popular is desired by the rest of the school population but why ? they are all bitches who just ***** about eachother behind their backs - wouldn't you rather desire something worth your time ? like a real life because the popular are left with nothing once school ends, its us nerds and geeks that have a real future ahead of ourselves
they are also a bunch of sluts even if they try not to seem so and most think they are not sluts but they are just a bunch of sluts... get use to it.

Goths did not start dressing the way they do because of movies. They where inspired by the way band members from goth bands dressed. Bands such as Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Cure and Bauhaus. Being goth does not mean that you are a loner or like to hide your emotions. It just means you enjoy goth music, probably like creepy movies and the supernatural, gothic literature and find beauty in darkness and in the unexpected. They don't always wear black and not everyone smokes...just like normal people. All the goths I know off are happy and have friends. The majority of goths are very artistic. Some play music, others sing, other draw, paint or sketch and others write. It depends on the individual.
A book that it has very good facts and info on goth is Gothic Charm School by Jillian Venters ( The Lady of the Manners)
Plz, excuse my grammar. This is not my native language.
An offshoot of early punk called death rock was when it became a subculture . Influenced by the gothic era
I agree witht he second post. If you want to know what a tru goth is then please read this book:
Nancy Kilpatrick "goth Bible"
traces the origin of goth
Goth started off as a style. They copied it from movies, however it adapted into what you'd think a goth is.
Most goths I see, including me when I look at myself, yeah. Those comments say mostly all of it. Most of my 'friends' barely know me and don't even try to get to know me because they know I wont share about myself:
Not all Goths smoke. A lot of people need to know "real" Goths .. none of the poses, nor the GOTHS with a capital G ..
Research and knowing what Goth is helps ..
im the biggest goth at school and i dont smoke, i have about 5 good friends, i nearly always wear black, dont smoke think deep and really HATE how i look
I am absolutely delighted that the comments on this section are all correct and aren't insulting goths. Perhaps besides the 'most smoke' part, however.
i agree with number 2. they are (in my opinion) basically the opposite if emo. emos wear their emotions on their sleeves, whereas goths hide their feelings. not bc they're afraid of getting hurt by someone, but just bc they dont really want to get personal with anyone. they LIKE the distance, so they enjoy it when you try to avoid them in the hallways.
well she or he didn't say always they said likes to wear black lol but thats a good description lol
Stop. Goths don't always wear black. They are good at hiding their mind, and they think deep. They usually don't like themselves or anyone, but they can seem like they do. Some skate, most smoke.
likes to wear black clothes and tries to be undected. not to be confused with Emo and Punk

You don't necessarily need to act feminine to be gay. That's the entire stereotype in one word. An athlete, jock, prep, band geek, nerd, emo, goth, teacher's pet, and any other person categorized into any other superficial group, could be gay. Why does it have to be "The Gay Guy"? Girls can be "gay" too, they just like girls..Wow the things we realize when reading stuff... :-/
This shouldnt be a group because just because you are attracted to another dude doesnt mean you have your oen category. Gay peoplecomefrom all types of different groups

Not to be confused with goth. this person listens to mainly hard/classic rock and wear a ton of chains

people who are usually rebellious , listen to punk rock and do what they want really.
Punk is an attitude. Not a look, fashion, or genre of music. The attitude of being a punk has paved the way for all of the other stuff to exist.
punk usually just implies that a person dousn't like 2 blend in or do something just because they r expected 2. may b rebellious but not necessarily rude or anti-social
Punk - an individual who liikes to stand out in a crowd, who knows themselves to be more creative then most. can be caught wearing black and greys or band shirts and alot of studs and mostly in jeans. the hair is major you can be like euro punk mohawk spikes and all. or 90's style just long hair that will grab the eyes especially if its fried. Im 18 n a girl I wear a fohawk, everything i do or buy must be absolutely different then everyone else. I love to be very versatile in my music and ways, I like to get along with everybody buy I promise I'll never blend in.
Yeah, um... Punk is a style that was defined by punk artists, therefore "punks" listen to punk rock or pop punk. I don't know many metal or classic rock listeners who dress punk rock
yeah they dont have to wear chains to be punk, its a kind of really good music and there own way of expressing themselves. i'm a punk myself and i dont wanna look like everyone else in my school and being punk thats not a problem
They don't always wear chains.
Punk is also not to be confused with skater.
Some do skate, others scooter, other bmx.
And not all listen to hard or classic rock. There is a genre of music called punk, along with metal and pop-punk, plus more.

This is me to! I love listening to Ipod loud. I try and tune my family out sometimes and i like it and let it stay loud!
yea this is all me! i Love listening to my i pod HELLA loud..wile on the bus..wile in class nd teachers dont say anything to me :) while im walking throught the halls..basically all the time! Music is my life
Black or dark tee shirt, rocker belt and jeans with boots, plays guitar
Lol. Rocker people are usually the ones that are the EXPERTS at rock music. Or the ones that have their song writting or bands or the guitarist haha
Deaf people don't listen to their Ipods "hella loud"
It ruins your hearing
Due to this they understand that they cant listen to music hella loud for, it will make them more deaf.
and hair styles typically involve spikes or board-straight hair. you don't usually see rockers with curls or waves. some tend to have many piercings, as well, such as nose piercings, eyebrow piercings, gages, etc. but, that's just the "stereotype" (i hate that word soooooooo much!! lol.)
okay who doesnt listen to there music hella loud???? its an image to not just listening to there ipod. it's wearing band shirts like pink floyd and ac-dc ext.... and alot, not all have long hair

love metal a lot ( not so much nu-metal or doom). it annoys me when people think that its just people screaming and nothing more -_-
I'm not a metal head but I do like cradle of filth and I hate it when someone says that it's punk or emo. They just don't seem to get it -.-
I completely agree with that last comment. My friend thinks that ALL metal is screamo and that ALL metalheads are goth. Neither is true!
amen! we are not punks or goths! we just enjoy GOOD music! and its not ALL screamo!
Live for heavy metal music (of pretty much any subgenre except nu-metal/metalcore). The general public frequently confuses us with emos or goths- I have no idea why!

Almost every high school has a debate and forensics program, and those who participate in it form a whole new breed of students. Hard to describe, unless you know a debater.
Comments:
Get in an argument with me you will never win even if I'm wrong
I have lots of friends who are on the debate team and are super popular. they werent like the mean type of popular either..nice and well rounded well at leats i thought so lololo
my brother was more of a debater in high school and he was reallyyy outgoing, and even if he wasnt very "popular", he was still well known. He is very intelligent, but slacked off a lottttt
Pretty much the biggest hipsters ever(that is a compliment by the way). The debaters I know span from all social groups, and are not just smart but witty. Everyone enjoys talking with a debater(:
travel in their own clique, but again they aren't nerds but they are veryy smart. i love them, they have all these inside jokes SO AWESOME
personally i love debaters. they are not nerds, but they are intelligence and it's interesting to talk to them.
they like to argue and they make sure to do their research just to prove you right or wrong.

you do NOT need to have sex in highschool!!!!!!! you people are idiots!! JUST WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I go to school in Southern Maryland(an hour away from D.C.), and there're at least four girls that've gotten pregnant this year. Two of them were freshmen(15), and a girl in middle school(14) even got pregnant. Most people are rednecks where I live, and don't leave the county.
let's just consider those who got pregnant by rape, they're still good pepole, and I feel sorry get teased in school for this when they've done nothing wrong
I was a teen mom myself. I had my first son a week after I turned 16. My sweet sixteen was a party shower. I stayed in school and by the time I was 21 I had three boys just because you have a baby when you are a teen doesn't mean the world is ending it just makes some things a little harder. I am in college now and working on my BA degree. My world didn't end.
I'm sorry, you love this show!? I'm not sure how you meant that to sound, but I'm going to take that in the least offensive way. THIS ISN'T A SHOW!
Oh yeah, sure she could have an abortion but what if she feels strongly that she shouldn't. I would admire her all the more. Think how brave she has to be to keep going to school, endure all the abuse you people (that's a generalization) throw at her everyday, and raise a new born baby. I mean, give her some slack, sure she probably should still be at least trying to do well in school (another generalization) but when did you last try to take care of a newborn baby?
I'm probably taking this way too seriously aren't I?
why slutty or misunderstood? things happen for a reason, doesn't make someone a bad person. she could have gotten an abortion.
Actually, most teenagers do NOT have sex, but just because someone does, does not necessarily make them a "****"
slutty? really most teens have sex. it's normal. some get knocked up. **** happens. its waht you do next that makes you the person you are. which could be good or bad.
As in the afford to take care of the child and have the time to take care of him/her!
this person may either be slutty or misunderstood, generally become very responsible after the birth of their child

im a slacker i dont really do my work or care about most stuff but i am a very deep thinker and 75% of the time im in my head thinking about complete random stuff XD

Are a little bit of everything, people who are just trying to fit in and get through high school a.k.a your average high school student.
Comments:
I'd say that the normal kids should be called "independents" instead since they usually do their own thing, or they may borrow from different, more stereotypical groups without fully being any one of them. The independents are really the most mature and complex, because they're real people, rather than walking, talking stereotypes, which is unfortunately what most H.S. and college kids are.
if we all think we are normal but ither people aren't normal. What is Normal????
people need to chill. you act like calling someone normal is a slur. this is called "high school stereotypes", this is the group of people that don't fit into any one stereotype. its not a bad thing.
this one shud be removed, nobdy is basically "normal" they have SOME thing out of the ordinary!
Normal just means the kids that aren't part of any particular stereotype. They're the kids who haven't been labeled. I think everyone should be considered normal, and no one should be given a label! Giving someone a stereotype is totally judging. For fun between friends or something, it's alright. But in real life, stereotypes shouldn't even exist.
Let's see, I read the phrase "average high school student." Thus, let's analyze this problem. High school student obviously refers to some unnamed member of the set of all high school students. Thus, we create this set, and we find the average of all of them. Since "average" or "mean" are arithmetic terms, they must be performed on quantitative, like values. Further, since each student is described by more than one value, quantitative or otherwise, one must quantify every aspect of each student, and assemble a set of very specific characteristics which describe the "normal kid." However, as certain crucial data about any given person is necessarily, irreconcilably qualitative, the best which is realistically possible for description of high school students is the arithmetic averaging of all available quantities (height, weight, number of chromosomes, etc.), accept the mode for well defined qualities (eye colour, level of participation in organized extracurriculars, etc.), and indiscrimination for all other qualities. Thus, it may be possible to for the image of an average high school student, though a wide range of people may be considered normal for aspects of humanity which can not be analyzed.
So true, even the most "average person" has something y'know, different about them doesnt have to be something big, just something.
Normal kids definitely do exist ! It is possible to be a little emoish, popular, jockish, preppy, geeky, artsy and a class clown. If you think about everybody knows one. They're usually somebody everybody knows, nice to everyone, and fits in no matter where they are. They're most likely decribed as the All- American.
Ummm...There is no such thing as 'normal'..That word shouldn't even exist...Nobody is,was and ever will be 'normal' and you can't be a bit of everything, that is impossible.
LOL! Average high school student? The normal kid? Haha that's funny, there is no such thing as normal. If so, define normal.

Chav: A person, usually a teenager, who acts loutishly, usually disrespectful towards adults.
Trust me, I'm British. I know plenty of chavs, and they usually are very disrespectful towards adults, especially teachers. They do wear trackies sometimes, but I haven't really seen any with any 'bling' round their necks, which is a stereotype I've heard. Yes, they are stereotyped to be the cause of crimes such as shoplifting and vandalism, but not all of them do that. Most are just looking for attention, I suppose.
In response to the one about the blonde girls, blondes are still stereotyped as dumb, but dumb blondes and chavs are not the same thing. Dumb people, blonde or not, are usually numpties, bimbos or bampots here.
Ya, in America they're just called blonde. You know like when some one says that was a blonde moment. (I'm talking to #3)
In britain, they are girls who have a certain accent, stereotypically, blonde and dumb
Idiots... it's the 'fashion' that should never have been made. Don't also forget obsessed with their cocks and think they are cool, and that they can pick up chicks.
people who wear tracksuit tops and bottoms or flat bill hats under a dark hoodie. They are stereotyped mostly for commiting various crimes such as shoplifting, vandalism and street fighting. They hang mostly on street corners on their mobile phone. They mostly travel in groups as they may seem intimidating at first but are mostly cowards when threatened. Not all chavs are criminals but because of a few intimidating features and dress scense, they look like people who would start a fight.

generally black, but don't have to be. grew up in the hood (a bad neighborhood) and are often interested in the 4 parts of hip-hop. probably dress very "G" as well. can be obnoxios as hell if they'er posers, who are known as "wiggers", regardless of skin color.
Comments:
imo gangsta's fall under the catagory of punks .and they're the one's that won't go far and that are sooner than later prison bound
"Gangsta" is a state mind created for survival. Bad neighborhoods exist everywhere so that "hood" comment is so ignorant! Gangstas could be of any race. The biggest "gangstas" arent nearly black. Hip Hop music is a genre listened to by many who are most likely not "gangsta." Posers wouldnt even fall under this cateogoy- the would fall under moral disgrace !

I love our school sluts - they are the sweetest girls. If a little morally unsound...
At my school, this and the above are the same thing. (except like, 2 goths)
Usually a girl who is highly sexually involved with the male race of the school, sometimes even the females. A lot of times she is this way because she had/has a bad background. It isn't just girls, though. Boys can fall into this category as well.
hitey reed is the most sluty in curwensville history so far. she has done most of the strait dudes in school but most guys here are gay. but they try not to seem so next to her is codies fenchks nees. and then lacy micormic. oh and all the cheerleders are on the list of that.
the girl that basically sleeps with evry guy she met, also full of STDS

I'm a cheerleader and at my school the cheerleaders aren't the popular kids. The stereotype is completely off we aren't all blonde, most of us are brunette, we keep good grades and we don't hang out with the popular kids. We care how we look and stuff but we wouldn't be a cheerleader if we were like tomboys were girly and there's nothing wrong with that
That's so not fair! Just because we enjoy doing a sport that involves short skirts and skin showing, that's the only real reason people label us as sluts.. I know I get super nervous around boys and its hard for me to make new friends too. Cheerleader isn't a stereotype. It's a sport.
Cheerleaders aren't always popular, I'm one of them, and we are more noticeable than other kids but we're not popular. it's different at other schools.
I know someone who used to be a cheerleader. She was very athletically fit and nice to boot.
normally wear bright clothing/ aeropostale and abercrombie and normally perfect hair either straight or loose curls
Im a cheerleader... but I'm not really what you call "popular" I fit the drama geek discription better
Don't forget about guy cheerleaders too. They're the ones who have to do the heavy lifting too.
i am a cheerleader. im not "easy" or "skanky" and im not stuck up. none of the girls on either of the squads at my school are either. (jv or varsity) we are not stupid or ditzy. go ahead and judge me. but im not at all like the stereotypes people put me in.
I don't know about other places, but the cheerleaders at all the schools in my town are fat and ugly. This may be because nobody really cares about sports teams or who's on them.
at my highschool our captain is african american, so i disagree about the whole mostly white. usually they aren't over weight because they are picking people up all the time and running and exorsizing. and if any of them are "sluts" its because they chose to be that way. it has nothing to do with the fact that they are cheerleaders.
Sometimes hey may look down on others. no offense to any cheerleaders ive met some pretty cool ones. but i have been bullied and pushed around by many. :O so they are some
Maybe I just go to a weird school or something, but at my school, the cheerleaders are by definition not cool, there are a couple who aren't skinny, and more than half of them are asian.
They are worried about their weight and there never is a fat cheerleader thats like over weight. and usually white.
yes they are they just try not to seem so i put more coments on cheerleaders on theslut and populer kids.
they're also automatically assumed to be "easy" or "skanky" but they're not, really.

Annoys the rest of the class by keeping everyone in school a bit longer to ask questions and appear interested in the subject, when in reality...a good grade is what is desired. So everyone has to sit in until there are no more questions...which could take hours...
Comments:
A person doesn't need to hold the class back to be a pet! There can be a very fine line between suck-ups and people who have genuine interest in the subject, and actually DO enjoy conversations with their teachers - people just blur the boundaries, that's all.
Wait wait wait.... hold up. I'll openly admit it, I'm a teachers pet. I'm called that all the time, I joke about it with everyone, me and my friends have made it like an inside thing, but I DO NOT do any of the things listed above. I do not 'appear interested in the subject', I AM interested in the subject. I do not just desire a good grade, I want to know about those things. I do not keep everyone back, I'll stay back all by myself and the teachers are happy to help. D*mn it, I'm a teachers pet but I am not ANY of the things you said above.

They are "uglier versions" of popular girls. Except that they are extremely un-stylish and don't look their best, so they are not considered 'cool'. And they try really hard to gain attention from popular girls and other people... but fail.

I am a Scene, Party animal, Prep, Popular girl, Musician, Drama Kid and WIERD KID nd im loving it :D : O o_O
Dude!! Everyone is weird. There is no normal kids on this day. Just pretend like they told you how awesome you are.
I'm deffinitely the weird kid! I am totally proud of it too, i love sparkles and bright colors, often go to school with no shoes (they annoy me) and am just very random, I never had any trouble making friends, every one was just like yeah shes weird, i love being the weird kid, its never gonna change :) people did think i was a witch ;)
My whole group of friends were the weird kids. The preps would talk to us all polite but they were afraid we were going to shank em or something like that because we wore leather jackets, combat boots, played violent video games, painted disturbing art and listened to Disturbed. The occasional homicidal poem didn't help either but most of us were just eccentric. I loved It!
I have been labeled as the weird girl spfor as long as I can remember. Sure I'm random, insane, unbelievable, unpredictable, but I have to agree with the other comments, we are unique. My friends are weird, and we aren't afraid to admit it. The fact people don't want to befriend us is bull, we make good friends.
Who wrote this?? We're not weird. Just unique and different from the others,
we're not weird other people just find us "different" from others
This would be all my friends and I. Lol so my school has a tottal of 8 weird kids in grade 9 we had 9 but she changed schools and btw weird kids often befriend the gay guy :)
The weird kid is almost never ignorant of being weird, sometimes being labeled as the weird kid is just too painful to accept
Neither 'painfully' aware or ignorant.
This is me. Build a bridge and deal with it.
The one who normally hangs with the outcast cliques, although still doesn't quite fit in. The one who talks to themselves and glares at people they hate. Most likely thought to be a witch, and usually says strange things in class that makes everyone stare. Probably nicknamed "Freak", and is mixed with other stereotypes such as Nerds, Emos, Goths, etc. They're either painfully aware or blissfully ignorant of their weirdness.

Scene is usually the bright colored energetic person. (: They occasionally have teased hair and colored hair.They are veryy random. and very interesting people. they can also be adventerous and daring.
Comments:
I feel kind of like a scene because I'm creative, bright, daring(almost violent), energetic, and always skipping through the halls swerving around people looking like an idiot(interesting). However, I don't dye my hair or anything "unnatural" like makeup and things like that.
No. they are not, all they do is cry about there life and have colourful hair.
To comment number five I think, scene in America is pretty much the same minus all the Japanese and Anime obsessions, and most of the scene kids listen to Blood on the Dance Floor, Cobra Starship, Hollywood Undead, Jeffree Star, Saosin, The Medic Droid, Brokencyde..
huh, that sounds like me, i color my hair all the time! i love bright colors and im really really random
The differences between scene emo and emo is that Scene makes other wanna kill themself. I really can't stand scene... I don't know how scene is like in America, England e.t.c. But where I live all scene people MUST love cupcakes, must make "rawr, I'm a dinosaur" pictures, must watch Naruto and Death Note, must go with unmatching clothes, dye their hair every week, listen to "Cinema Bizarre" and other asian bands, they also learn Japanese outside school, and use their entire year planning their outfit to coscon and aicon and their favorite shop is "Neo Tokyo" And for some reason nearly all the scene girls are bisexual. They also wear hipster glasses. (I have a lot of bisexual friends, and i adore them. Just wanted to point that out so everyone don't think I hate them :) ) But they are usually nice people. (Sorry about the bad spelling)
Me but without the colors you know what I mean? I just stick to blue xP
They are the ones at concerts who do their own dance that doesn't fit with the music and gets in everybody's way. They don't really talk to anyone else there but still want to be noticed.
I love bright colors I usually take one color like yellow and get a sweater that cokie and wear it with my brightest shirt the same color. But I'm also the weird kid and the hyper kid :)

I agree that shy kids appear a little boring (kind of like bookworms) but we are always extremely creative and those people who give the floaty, DIVINE, impression. Plus, we can be really loud and funny once you get to know us.
Yay for Shy People! ;D We have got to be some of the MOST creative people in the world. ^.^
I'm known as the shy kid but I am only shy when I first meet people and once you get to know me I'm really loud. Everyone is unique in their own ways.
Not all shy kids are kind, or unique. I should know, I'm not kind but I'm sometimes cripplingly shy. :3

buy hipster mugs, tshirts and magnets
Referring to young people of around 18-30 years of age, who drink cheap beer (most often Pabst Blue Ribbon, on occasion Budwiser), smoke Parliaments, Lucky Strikes or hard to obtain foreign cigarettes (such as Gauloises) and take recreational drugs, coke being the most popular. Use a great deal of sarcasm, claim to be ironic. Are usually less than 5% body fat, drink copious amounts of coffee and eat children's cereal. Listen to Indie Rock, rely heavily on Pitchfork Media to tell them what's cool. Don't dance at concerts. Wear a mixture of thrifted clothing and items bought at American Apparel (commonly Tri-blend v-necks) and Urban Outfitters. Extremely tight jeans worn by both sexes, pairing these with either a band or b-movie t shirt and a plaid shirt/v-neck and a cardigan along with Nike hi-tops/Vans/Keds. Females often wear retro style dresses and racerback tank tops without bras. Eschew public transport and instead choose to ride fixed-break bikes. Often claim to know about literature and film - will have googled a good deal of Vonnegut and French New Wave cinema.
Comments:
i hate hipsters. I really do. They seem to get all their clothes and their stuff from a really tacky shop and claim its vintage.
Hipsters are also commonly known as Indie, which I highly prefer. We don't ONLY listen to Indie rock, just anything below the radar, and not all of us dress weird. And we always wear a bra. But, yeah, we like artsy movies in French. What's wrong with that?
not all hipsters are skiny, most know about literature and film, all most all dance at concerts, only some drink large ammounts of coffee, most are ironic, not all do drugs, not all smoke cigarettes, and they dont only drink cheap beer. almost all the rest is true

skaters, basically, but in a skiing enviornment. most found in the north east(NH), or colorado-utah area. they dress incredibly steezily, with mucho swag. they probably smoke pot. probably skate. probably partly like a mofo. generally loved by all.

Have to admit about that loneliness part. It does strike-even when I'm with close friends.
A person without a set group of friends or place to belong to. They drift around and meet new people, usually if dating someone. But if that relationship fails, they move onto the next lucky/unlucky clique. Floaters can either work alone or with a partner, but never exist as more than two people. Floaters are usually strange, creative, troubled, and/or have an offbeat sense of humor. Floaters usually don't mind being a floater, although bouts of loneliness may strike at times. A floater is usually single and plays the field.
they people who float around between everyone with no significant signifier to what they truly are

funny I thought we were called shadows or chameleons cause we blended in with any group at our school.oh well live and learn/
This is me!
I think this is the best "stereotype", because it isn't really a stereotype! This is the person that gets along with anybody, from the preppiest, snobbiest girls in the school to the nerds and geeks that play Dungeons and Dragons and stuff. I used to worry about what other thought about me. Trying to conform never worked for me. Just being myself has earned me a whole lot more friends than when I wore a mask of conformity.
I mean, I still wear Abercrombie, Hollister, and other name brands, but that doesn't mean that I am a snob. Just because I wear brands preppy people wear doesn't mean I act like them. I play all sorts of games nerds play, like Minecraft. I am a girl, and I have played some 1st person shooters a few times......
People appreciate my fresh attitude (as well as my gum). They don't have to worry about conforming or being uncomfortable because I get along with everyone!
Thats me, friends with everyone, funny, dressed well, mormon, gay, metal head, cute, ect. I'm in every group (even those that hate each other jocks-emo's) never a dull moment and a lot of differnt pesonalitys I have to act
I know this guy in my school, who gets along with everyone, yet he wants to be an loner (he finds people annoying). Also he never changes the way he acts to fit in, everyone is attracted to his personality.
Im one of those teens who is completley accepted and its not for a lack of personality its just I have an easy personality to get along with. Im always me, even if I dont agree with some things I dont judge people for it, and thats why people naturally like me. Im nice and dont judge.
Agreed. My friends and I call them "Compatibles" though. Some people just have "that personality" and get along with others really well. They're just themselves and they just naturally "click" with other ppl.
I don't see how it's a bad thing to get on with everyone? I got on with the stupid white kids/skaters in my school, the 'goths', the football team, the basketball team, the band. And the really interesting part is that I didn't have to change my personality in the least to hang out with them all. :/ So it's not 'being fake' necessarily. Maybe if you're being a Ditto and transforming into every clique out there, but if you gel with people easily because you're passive [usually], I don't think it's really fair to say they're fake. :3
I HATE THEM! my ex bff was one. she gets all quiet and moody with the emos, slutty and flirty with the sluts, funny and cheerful with the populars. They dont have a real personality and it is really creepy :(
They are fake people. Don't have a true personality and copy a certain group. One was one of my best friends when i was popular. He left me cause i wasn't popular.
Its a very slipery position. Its hard to stay cool with everyone.

The girl who always wears the PERFECT outfit to any occasion. Usually a subspecies of chearleader or dancer. Always keeps up with the latest trends and can be found saying" can you believe she wore that?!"

I'm into fashion (though most of my friends are theater geeks and artists) and I have to say I am nothing like this description! The reason I love fashion is that it is a way for people to express themselves and their style. I'd much rather see people dressing for themselves, than wearing what everyone else wears, so I'm really not critical of people wearing avant garde or unconventional outfits!

The Head-*****-In-Charge. The female counterpart to the H.N.I.C or the H.M.F.I.C. The "Alpha female". Usually a cheerleader who's mean to everyone except for her closest friends.

because there's so many in high school and they think they're better than everybody.
52.
Most of them are revered by the school, being on the same level of respect as the jocks, being plain old douches, but some of them are truely the most sincere, nice, and funny people you could meet. they are dedicated, but spawn many of the wannabes that are spoken of. close-knit to the longboarders, and are mostly asian.

though they would achieve high imagine all of the hard work it takes, studying all the time, listening really hard and doing extra work. Everyone wishes to be perfect but nobody is they probably have problems and flaws too in fact they probably are really hard on themselves.
The high achiever has it all; but at the same time they don't. Once everyone sees that they are the best, everything becomes a contest. Whenever they do anything everyone compares themself to this person. ----> not me. I wouldn't want to have to be perfect all the time with everyone idolizing me or trying to beat me... no human can live up to that expectation,
I never heard about this one. But I will try to set it: The High Achiever is very rare. This kid achieves high, meaning, he achieves what all other kids in school want and at THE SAME TIME, and that's what makes them so envied: They manage to look cool and be popular, they are the top athlete in school and they still manage to get the highest grades in all the tests.

cool kids in my school got busted for drinking in 7th grade, smoking in 8th and now they party every friday night with the seniors. they look down upon others and EVERYONE tries to be in the group. most of the girls arent too into school and the guys could care less. there are some exceptions. and no, im not just hating and i shouldnt just "try to get to know who they really are" they are going in the wrong direction and have nothing going for themselves and they will recieve a hella loud wake up call in college, if they make it to one, or at least one with class.
They are good looking and dress stylish, and they get a good amount of attention for that, and that's what got them well known and the label of cool.
But what differ then of typical popular kids then? Well, cause these Cool Kids are actually nice.
So people want to be friends with them, because they have two things that people desire: cool looks and style (shallow and stupid, i know, but that's how most people in society is and it's undeniable) and, for a good reason, because they are nice.
Also a great thing for Cool Kids: people would not **** talk behind their backs, cause they Cool Kids might look like Popular Girls but they are way NICER.

A loser that happens to be everywhere and involved with everything for no aparent reason. He is never good but hes never horrible.

Usually dancers or cheerleaders. Always involved in some sort of problem and are very defensive and moody.

Idiotic girls. Can be smart but are too self centred and naive to realise they are not the center of the universe. They generally are quite attractive.. with some exceptions of ugly girls dying their hair blonde and wearing expensive slutty clothing on their tiny bodies. They are hypocrites. They think they can get away with doing all the things that they ***** about when it's someone else doing it.. They use whatever new catchphrase or acronym that comes in fashion and uses it in sarcasm to beliitle anyone who might use it. Their general tone is sarcastic incase they say something when they are serious then people disagree; putting their popularity in danger.
In their minds everybody loves them and they are all that matters. Which is clear to everyone else that that is not true...

Mod (from modernist) is a subculture that originated in London, England, in the late 1950s and peaked in the early-to-mid 1960s.[1][2][3]
Significant elements of the mod subculture include fashion (often tailor-made suits); music, including African American soul, Jamaican ska, British beat music, and R&B; and motor scooters. The original mod scene was also associated with amphetamine-fuelled all-night dancing at clubs.[4] From the mid-to-late 1960s and onwards, the mass media often used the term mod in a wider sense to describe anything that was believed to be popular, fashionable, or modern.
There was a mod revival in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s, which was followed by a mod revival in North America in the early 1980s, particularly in Southern California.[5][6]

The one who's very sarcastic and sharp tongued. Hates the popular girls and will tell them to their face.
*If you're a theater geek like me and have ever seen the musical "Bare," think of Nadia*
My school has groups of really fat girls that are friends with each other & formed groups.
How is this a stereotype or clique?
Just cause people are overweight doesn't mean they congregate together and form a clique. Cliques and stereotypes are created from personality more often than looks. Although most good looking people fit into preps, populars, jocks,etc.
Stop judging by weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone wants to be nice to them because they feel bad but most people really don't want to be friends with them.
yeh i have a couple of those in my school but MOST of them are verry friendly its just there kinda pushed away from other groups becaue there .......
The fat ones are normally the nice ones, since they don't have anything to show off about.
there seems to be atleast over weight person in each group of people
thats mean but theres always one at each school not just chicks but dudes too..

Every single dumb stereotype rolled together but he is as fast as a negro altogether a dumb ass

the girl who hates all the other girls cuz they are B*%#&$ but gets along with the guys
all the girls hate her and do anything they can to put her down (me)
Comments:
This is me. I have a handful of girl friends but generally I hate girls because they're bitchy and dramatic. While they go to the mall and watch chick flicks together I'd rather be outside messing around or playing video games. It sucks because I don't totally fit anywhere, like the dude above me said lol. Guys are my friends until I get too close to them and then they start hitting on me. Misfit should be added to this list ha

Opposite of the "Teacher's Pet" and more related to the "Slacker" who doesn't give a crap about his education and future

Biggest losers in the school; usually has mental problems and can't get decent grades.
Most of the boys are thick bastards at my school. One time, they called my friend gay (he's not. he's a man slag) and started pushing me and my friends around so i tripped him up, grabbed him by his emo hairstyle but longer then threw him against a tree. I'm not a bully; i'm sticking up for my friends AGAINST bullies. It was only that one time.
they alwas try to beat you up and when you start kicking thare ASS they have thare freinds join in like the lokel drukin pothead tommy emily and his boyfreind tyler bloom. they try not to seem gay but thay are ive seen them my self getting ready to **** man i had to run its just nasty
the meanest people in school that think their the best and can beat anyone weaker then them up!!

HEY! I know what puerile means! You're probably never going to read this post again anyway but still!
Actually I'm going to have to say that at least twenty percent of Americans are "puerile", but twenty percent is infinitely better than all.
you do realise you are basically saying that religious people are idiots. are all Americans completely puerile or something because I am British and have yet to meet one that isn't ....or do you not know what puerile means?..

My best friend is blonde and she's alot smarter than you think we like to tease her but she also teases herself about it. It's just a hair colour! But I've figured out that most movies have the blonde girls as mean and stupid what's up with that? We like to call people like that hairist.
That's why I'm so happy that Asian doesn't have different hair colors. LOL
I've met many blondes that really smart.
right now i am just laughing at the girl you thinks that Bs are good...
I'm blonde and I'm in the higest class in my year (not bragging but just making a point). Most girls in my class are blond. Unless they dye it.
ummmmm, actually, its proven that theres more copper in brainy people, and also turns your hair blonder..............
GO comment #1. I am blonde but the thing I here people say about me the most is that I am smart. I don't mean to brag but I make A's and B's and no I didn't cheat. even though I know some people won't believe that because humans tend to be narrow-minded and stubborn.
Hey, most blondes I know get better grades than the brunettes. It is only a hair color!

Pretty sure I;m at least a little know-it-all-ish. I mean, my classmates have nicknamed me Athena XD
That's my sister. Not that I'm not happy with her being interest in all knowledge but it's hurt my ears almost the time.
That's me. The living dictionary: now with English, Spanish AND Italian functionality. :)
Walking dictionaries. We had a girl who knew what seemed like everything. Always answering questions, knowing things beyond our level. We called her the walking dictionary or walking encyclopedia.
