*Ditzy people: The girls seem ditzy and too obsessed with materialistic things. They need to grow up.
*Popularity: Please, like I'm going to kiss the @ss of other students to be more liked. I'm secure without codependence.
*Dating: I don't think declaring you love someone 2 days after learning their name is really genuine. I hate how people always go ';Do you have a boyfriend?!?!?'; and stuff like that like it's an effin trophy. People at my school actually date the hottest people just to become popular! Ugh!
(I鈥檇 like to add that some relationships can be serious, but I鈥檝e only seen one like that.)
*Sports: I鈥檇 like to actually see someone put ';I can run a 40 yard dash in 4.8'; on a college app. I realize you want to be fit, and it may be fun, but it's taken too seriously. People are always talking about who the best players are ect ect. Enjoy the game and worry about banging the blondes after they get tested.
*Cheating (Academically): I had the ';Popular'; advisory class last year. There were 5 students who would come in and ask ';Did we have any Spanish homework? Did you do that packet?'; And people would help them so they'd become more popular. If you didn't help them, they'd whine and gossip.
In fact, I never saw them come in with finished papers...
*Stereotyping: I wore glasses, played games, loved computers, and got strait A's last year. I got stereotyped as a wimp since I have chronic asthma and can't gain weight (It's hard to believe but it's true). People were always trying to act big and tough to get me to share homework or test answers. Some football player got in a fight with me since I wouldn鈥檛 help him write a HTML page. He tried to punch me in slow motion. I just moved a bit and sucker punched him. He cried.
*Attitude: Just because you have a couple more friends (and they aren鈥檛 trophies, don鈥檛 say they are.) doesn鈥檛 mean you鈥檙e better then me.
*Clothes: I don鈥檛 mind if you wear stuff from a thrift store IMHO. If you wear 70$ Abercrombie and Holister shirts, you鈥檙e trying too hard. I don鈥檛 mind AE and Aero since they鈥檙e extremely comfy and affordable.
To girls, please be more conservative. Don鈥檛 stuff your boobs, wear XXS instead of a M, and tie back shirts.
*Skating: Don鈥檛 wear a million Bam Margta (SP?) Element T-Shirts if you havn鈥檛 even stepped on a board. I think power to you if you wear skater style clothes, just don鈥檛 wear like skateboard brand products because they鈥檙e popular. Element, DC, and DGK for example shouldn鈥檛 be worn if you don鈥檛 know what they are.
*Rebelling: I鈥檇 like to see you try. See what it does to your freshman year. My sister bombed hers since she was rebelling to fit in.
*Drugs: Don鈥檛 poison yourself because it looks cool, or they did it on MTV.
*Music: Don鈥檛 listen to what you don鈥檛 like, and don鈥檛 criticize taste. If someone likes Techno/Rave, let them be.
Rap is very unoriginal, in my opinion. Don鈥檛 listen to Rap songs that have a million curse words at church (This happened, actually.)
*iPhones: You have to be kidding if you think this is actually a good deal. These are REALLY expensive and have crazy bills. Don鈥檛 buy them, buy normal iPods. A 200$ ipod and 100$ phone + 20 a month is better then 400$ + 100 a month (What my sister average bill is).
Anyway, thank you very much for reading this, if you did. I had to get this off my chest so bad. I鈥檓 going insane.
I鈥檓 sorry if I鈥檓 stuck up or any of these opinions annoy you. I'm so mad :(I feel like people/dating/popularity in High School is immature. Do you? PLEASE ANSWER!!! =)?
I agree, it is pretty ridiculous the lengths people go to just to fit in and appear normal. I've always made a point to myself to remain independent - never do anything because THEY want me to.
Honestly, though, ignore those idiots. I'm always criticized for refusing to conform to common desires, beliefs, and activities done by High Schoolers. People in High School will always be immature jerkoffs...and no amount of reason or logic will sway them any other way. I decided that after my first year. I got together my own group of friends, all of whom equally did not give a crap about trivial HS norms, and we just hangout. It works out pretty well.
OF course, this is no reason to close your mind to joining activities that are seemingly pointless. I joined a sports team my past semester, and I had no idea I would enjoy myself as much as I did.
Good luck with the rest of your HS career.I feel like people/dating/popularity in High School is immature. Do you? PLEASE ANSWER!!! =)?
everybody has to vent. don't worry about it though. high school is like a playground with its bullies, cliques, and popularity contests. they'll grow up as they mature (hopefully). you don't need to be surrounded by a group to have fun. you'll get by eventually just by being yourself.
you typed too much but i just think that's all a part of it. usually the people that can't get a date or aren't popular feel that it's immature. it may be but you just have to have fun with it. it won't change so there's no point in dwelling on it.
