*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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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 fell like people/dating/popularity in High School is immature. Do you? PLEASE ANSWER!!! =)?
Okay, I actually took the time to read this... %26amp; I agree on some of these things. I'm going into my sophomore year. But last school year as a freshman, I was so unhappy about some of the same things you are upset about now.
Ditzy People, not all girls are ';ditzy and materialistic'; like you said. I am deffinatly not one of those girls and I hate girls like that, I agree they do need to grow up.
Populartiy: I sort of agree with you on this one... I don't want to be one of those bitchy girls but I deffinatly don't want to be some geeky ugly annoying girl that no one likes.
Dating: You have to remember that in highschool, we all have raging horomones. But we're humans, we do have feelings for people.
Sports: The reason why teenagers do sports is so they don't get fat, meet new people, to stay out of trouble, and to get into a good college.
Cheating: I'm not gunna lie, I have cheated on a test before. But it's cause teenagers are LAZY and don't wanna do the work themselves.
Stereotyping: It's like racisism. Many people want it to end, but you can't stop people from having their own opinions.
Additude: People who think they are better than other people because they have more friends, have ZERO confidence.
Clothes: Teens buy expensive clothes like abercrombie %26amp; hollister because they want to fit in. %26amp; because everyone else is wearing them. Or maybe they just like the style... kinda like me :)
Skating: Same thing as the clothes thing... maybe they just like the style. Just because you like the style of clothes doesn't make you a poser. IT'S JUST CLOTHES.
Rebelling: I have a friend who rebels against adults because she hates being told what to do. And guess what!? She does cocaine %26amp; has been arrested 4 times. I agree with ya on that one!
Drugs: I was very unhappy with my life as a freshman. I started drinking, smoking pot, and doing inhalants. Stress is what causes teens to do drugs. Not the craving for popularity.
Music: Most people don't listen to stuff they don't like... %26amp; yeah I agree, rap music does suck lol.
iPhones: They have EVERYTHINGGG! That's why people want them.
Hope I helped calm you down, if you wanna blow off some steam, come talk to me :)I fell like people/dating/popularity in High School is immature. Do you? PLEASE ANSWER!!! =)?
you remind me of malcom from malcom in the middle :/

you need to stop bitching my friend and just live life.. i do agree with most of ur points but who gives a rats *** . high school isnt about caring what the **** everyone else is doing, its just living life and spending time less moments with ur friends!
Report Abuse
LOL ??
IS your rant over now?
actually i totally agree with you on everything some things that ppl do to fit in and ';be cool'; is really stupid and just because you wore glasses or anything like that then that doesnt make you a geek
This is soo true. High School is immature. Im glad some people like you have a clue.
wow... tht was long... but very worth reading!!!!! i think i love u!!! hahahahaha jk but ya i agree with most things up there, i do play sports but i REALLY dont think im better than anyone else juss cuz of it or my aeropostale and hollister clothes =/ CUZ IM NOT!!! u seem lyk an awesum guy... tht juss made my day!
I actually did read this and you make some very good point's but dude,u need to loosen up and go have some serious fun.
ok.i do agree and you do need to just calm down,i see your point and yes i do agree but take a chill-pill.
I can understand how you feel on some things. But sometimes dating can help your grades. It helped me. But I new my ex for a year and were friends before we started going out.
On the cheating part. I understand. I had this advisory class that were filled with people that they think their better. If they didn't finish their homework they would ask other people and get the answers. Also they only had party's for themselves and left half of the class out of it even though it was suppose to be for everyone not just for the ';popular group';.
I don't like rap either. Iphones to me are a waste of money. My cell phone is old but its ok I can still text, call, and take pictures (thats all i use it for). =D
Dude you are a BEAST haha, i'm 19 and in college and i know exactly how you feel now because i felt the same way. Don't even worry man, you see you're one of the very few kids in highschool that manages to pull himself away from the losers and realize that all that status quo stuff is a bunch of BS. In other words your normal haha, to be honest i don't think i disagreed with anything you wrote, more power to you man.
Rock On, \,,/ %26gt;.%26lt; \,,/
Finally a young person with a brain and knows how to use it. Interestingly I was like that in high school as well. But being I didn't want to follow the crowd I did get made fun of. But for me being independent and not a sheep was way more important than how many giggly self centered kids I knew. Just stay the way you are. Brilliant and thoughtful. God Bless You
Ok, I just finished your novel lol
but I must say, I agree with most of that, except the part about sports, I am not going to sit here and say ';I am starting QB for a D1 team'; and stuff, But I was fairly decent in high school. Sports is way more than about showing off, it is about forming a brotherhood, a close band of friends that you can count on no matter what, a group of people who accept you, a common gathering of people who share a mutal love for the game.
Teenagers are immature, who would've guessed? You're one of them. You whine about stereotyping while doing it just as much as any of the people you whine about. You say ';don鈥檛 criticize taste.';, yet that is what you are doing for your entire rant. If you can't stand how immature people in your high school are, try to change the immaturity and make sure to start with yourself.
I totally agree with all of this! I'm an upcoming Junior and I get so aggravated at the stupid stuff that people do. My friends love to go tanning, they are actually paying for skin cancer! And all of my friends shop at holister and AE, and places like this. You know what they buy? Plain t-shirts with the stores logo on it. Excuse me, but I don't want to be a walking billboard!!!!
I'm glad someone else out there sees the immaturity and stupidity that goes on in high school.
I'm pretty tired from my work out, and kinda got a headache, and when I saw your ';speech'; here lol, I nearly passed out lol
Now, I wont lie to you, I didn't read all of it(although reading isn't a problem......I'm just REAL tired today), but I choose to skim through it, and I've got a pretty good idea of where your coming from here.
My answer is yes.
I agree completely. I'm in college now, but back in highs school and even public school, I was extremely mature for my age.....still am. Now that I mention it...I was pretty well behaved in kindergarten, too.
So, seeing all of the other students act the way they did, was .....yeah, kinda annoying, but I learned to live with it.
Venting wont make them grow up, dear :)
Just go on living and pay no mind to any of'em. You'll get to where you want to go in life MUCH faster that way.
Hope this helps

I'm a freshman girl, and I can tell you now you need to let this crap go. Just because people don't think like you, doesn't mean they are bad people . I felt the same way awhile back, but then i realized, okay you don't have to like everyone. Not everyone is going to think the way you do, or have the same beliefs. Not just in high school, but for your entire life. You really need to ignore people who annoy you, find friends with the same beliefs. Don't let it get to you. If you get this upset in high school, there is NO way you will make it in real life.
You won't like me saying this either, but I can tell... don't be jealous of the sport guys. What is there to be jealous of, unless you want to ';bang'; the shallow ditzy blondes that you complained about in complaint #141. Think of it that way.
Main line- chill.
And dude... I was once told that calling everyone else around you immature... is a sign of immaturity.
Okay umm, the clothes thing.I wear Hollister, Aero and some Unbranded stuff.What about it? -_-
They are just clothes.I couldn't fit into Limited Too anymore so i had to upgrade.L.o.l.Yea there are some girls out there that stuff their bras and that's retarded.but just because the shirts are form fitting and it appears that they have a large chest area doesn't mean they stuff their bras.i mean I'm only 36A and their shirts make it look like i am a B lmao.
And their are some girls out their that do try to hard to get guys attention and say that your a geek or whatever if you don't wear it but it doesn't flow that way.People try to fit in just by wearing those clothes thinking it's cool when your just like everybody else. xP
Btw, I think that like flip-flops for like $36 is dumb.They look like they just make your feet sweat.L.o.l. Converse are better but now everybody is wearing those trying to fit in again %26gt;_%26lt; Erg.Now you have me wanting to rant.I'm not even in high school yet.Sheesh.i'm only 13 going to 8th grade.
All this tells me you are a very Intelligent mature young man who will go far in life. all points your points are valid, %26amp; that goes back to when I was in high school in the 70's , So It will never change, just keep doing what your doing %26amp; you will most likely be reading about a lot of those popular people in the paper when they are older, because once in the real world %26amp; reality sets in they can't deal with the fall from fame, the part of the paper you will see them in the Police blotter, for drug possession, or DUI's. I have seen several of my old '; Popular '; Sports'; people from high school who have not turned out to be the hot shots they were back then, but still manage to make the paper*
