*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’d like to add that some relationships can be serious, but I’ve only seen one like that.)
*Sports: I’d 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’t 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’t trophies, don’t say they are.) doesn’t mean you’re better then me.
*Clothes: I don’t mind if you wear stuff from a thrift store IMHO. If you wear 70$ Abercrombie and Holister shirts, you’re trying too hard. I don’t mind AE and Aero since they’re extremely comfy and affordable.
To girls, please be more conservative. Don’t stuff your boobs, wear XXS’s instead of a M, and tie back shirts.
*Skating: Don’t wear a million Bam Margta (SP?) Element T-Shirts if you havn’t even stepped on a board. I think power to you if you wear skater style clothes, just don’t wear like skateboard brand products because they’re popular. Element, DC, and DGK for example shouldn’t be worn if you don’t know what they are.
*Rebelling: I’d 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’t poison yourself because it looks cool, or they did it on MTV.
*Music: Don’t listen to what you don’t like, and don’t criticize taste. If someone likes Techno/Rave, let them be.
Rap is very unoriginal, in my opinion. Don’t 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’t buy them, buy normal iPods. A 200$ ipod and 100$ phone + 20 a month is better then 400$ + 100 a month (What my sister’s 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’m going insane.
I’m sorry if I’m 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!!! =)?
wow, what high school are you going to? I'm going to be a freshman in the fall... and i think i just rethought my entire high school life.
I like the way you got this off of you though, because i think that everyone thinks this way sometimes. I actually don't care for dating or stereotyping for many reasons... idk about what skating thing was about... rap... yeah i'm the person who had only listen to classic for all my life... iphones.. is it really that bad? i mean, i kind of like the idea of music and a phone together.
i must agree with you with the whole people/dating/popularity in high school thing.I fell like people/dating/popularity in High School is immature. Do you? PLEASE ANSWER!!! =)?
I agree with u
Report Abuse
Well... There's no such thing as love until about the age of 20, just little relationships people have that they claim is love...
Annoying I'll give you that, I wouldn't say immature, just.. Foolish...
Oh my god, someone who has a brain!
I wish there were more people who thought like you.
i totally agree with you :)
Eheheh, geek. My 100 friends and I are laughing while we read this.
yeah, it doesn't really end out of high school. i don't like rap either. Yeah well good luck man that stuff happens all through life. i'm guessing it ends once you get elderly.
i agree.
i'm a senior, i don't try to impress people, i'm dating a sophomore and everyone makes fun of me for it. screw them. everyone's to judgmental and to hypocritical that it drives me up the wall.
i'm not afraid to 'be smart', i am smart so why should i pretend to be a dummy just so people like me?
but high school is a pretty quick trip so don't worry
no hun, you aren't stuck up. That was really brave of you to say that. I mean ye a people in high school are shallow..and ditzy but you know just dont even glance over to them, think that they dont exist....
you know?
♥ Hop I helped:)
For someone who dislikes high school social light you seem to be obsessed with it. I was in advanced classes in high school, made friends that shared my interest and had a girlfriend going to the same college as me. I barely even gave a thought once about popularity, alot of people liked me because I was a nice person and that was it.
You sound exactly like me when I was your age. I am now 24 and my husband is 32. You are just more mature than most of the people in your school... honestly! It was really hard for me to have such an age identity problem in high school and most of my friends were the younger teachers. You are just going to have to plow through it and not compromise yourself for anyone else. Try to get into some college courses in your Junior year or graduate early if that is an option.
Lighten up. Everyone has their issues in life. Jocks are judged as being stupid. Pretty girls are thought to be rude. Smart people are suppose to be weak. Everybody has personal tastes. Most people are a little of everything. Live your life and let live.
Oh don't worry I feel the same way! I think most people in high school nowadays are to concerned with how many friends they have. Chances are, once you get out of college your never going to speak to them again anyway. Aren't ditsy, dramatic people annoying? I think the whole ';popular people'; and all those labels are a complete waste of time. But I mean if others like them it's not my problem, I don't care haha. But don't worry, theres people out there who are down to earth and mature, you jut gotta find em :)
The book you just wrote is practically every high school. I usually kept to myself during school and only had a few friends and I was fine with that. BUT not to worry, it's all the same out in the real world. ;] Only a lot bigger... it's life..get over it ;] be yourself and just be happy with what YOU are doing...
Just try to get along with people you like. If a skater wants to wear clothes like that or someone wants to waste money on an iPhone, let them - it's their life...You mentioned stereotyping but you seem to have a few stereotypes yourself. And as for the people acting tough thing, you are doing the same - ';I just moved a bit and sucker punched him. He cried.';
I'm just surprised there are people as young as you who know the truth behind high school and how full of sh*t it really is. I'm going to be a senior this upcoming year and cant wait to be out of there.
Just dont give any of the idiots the attention they want and you'll see how stupid and weak they really are
The truth.(most of it anyway)
That is EXACTLY what I think. I'm with you %100.
A lot of my peers think I'm a ';nerd'; because I go to school to actually LEARN, wear conservative clothes, and because I don't go around saying ridiculous valley girl phrases ';Like oh my GOD! Did you see what she was like, wearing?';
Blah. I wish there was more people like you.
Listen up buddy:
';You are not special. You are not a unique snowflake. You are the same decomposing matter as everything else, we are all part of the same compost heap.';
aww i feel bad for you, i HATED high school too, im in college now so ive escaped all that bull ****, dont worry though you'll be out before you know it
Dont worry about none of it really matters once you graduate. You'll see at you ten year reunion. Keep your head in the game and you'll will be alright. Dittzy girls will just end will 3 kids by 3 different baby daddies, the people that cheated on exams will try to cheat through life and end up working for you, Sports jock will end up working a regular job just like everybody else, the drug users you will never hear from again, music will always be there, skating will go out of style, soon as the get a job unless they're true to it, clothes will change once they get bills and the popular ones usually loose everything that made them so popular. God I love class reunions
yea hahaha that pretty much sums it up. lol. high school doesnt last 4ever tho. but i feel like the people who dont pay attention to that kinda stuff and are true to themselves (this is gonna sound preppy) and Legit. are the one who others look up to. I know i look up to those people. they're hard to find. there is alota fake people your going to find. and ur not stuck up ur telling it like it is.
Harry Potter, is that you ?
Nice rant,. very true
some people are just stupid and crave some sort of acceptance from their peers because they obviously don't believe in them self's, sad really when you say it like that
any way why would you want to be The same as every one Else a clone of Societywell thatthat'st i call them and i want to be more widely used and im using you(in a nice way) to get it international, use it a lot and it might catch on!
back to busines some people are idiots when it comes to that, they think because its diffdifferentmust be wrong biology has proved to us that we NEED variation, not in that scence, but what would the world be with everyone being the same.
rubish
Sorry you can't be any of those things you listed...
And why is popularity stupid?
Who doesn't want to be liked??
And the drugs thing...
I';m not gonna go into it on this question but I do them because they are fun, not to be ';cool';. Usually I don't want people to know I do drugs cuz then they look at you differently and judge you.
holy ****! I'm a freshman too! and I can relate to you!
I totally can't stand preppy little twits that have nothing to do then gush over the retarded jocks and over abercrombie %26amp; ***** and their hair.
everything you said is so true. I'm more into my music then my academics but still I'm not going to fit in with everyone. The dating thing: I'm not going to date until I am an adult because when teens today use the term I love you so loosly.
I don't like rap: I love rock
Rebelling: I'll only do that just to NOT fit in.
I'm not goth and I don't stereotype anything I'm cool and calm and I am a 80s rock chick.
I'm pretty much the opposite of what a teen is. I got straight A's but I don't even try (its not really fair) but its all thanks to the music!
Dude, don't worry about any of that stuff. Just stick it out, keep getting straight A's and get your a$$ into college.
Listen, don't fall into the high school trap of being a failure to become a success!
I was one of the ';popular'; kids in high school, and to maintain that image I had to wear the latest fashions, act like I was better than everyone, nail all the hot chicks at school, make the football team, go to all the parties and get wasted every weekend. In school it was a lot of fun and I never felt better in my life.
But it was only four years.
Now I still have most of my friends from high school, but seriously, if I had applied myself, my career would have taken a different turn and I would be doing something today that I wanted to do, instead of something I have to do.
The other kids are going to make fun of you, the other kids are going to get in your face, but trust me, when it is all done and done and you are in an Ivy league school getting your masters degree, you are going to make new friends and contacts.
Now I am not saying that you shouldn't have fun, high school is a time that impacts the development of your personality the greatest. If you live your high school life as an introvert, you will more than likely go through the rest of your life like that.
The best way to go is just to be yourself, be cool, and everyone will like you. You don't have to be friends with the cool kids, but you don't have to hate and disrespect them either. High school is a brutal, brutal social cesspool and everyone just wants to ';fit in';, that is something you have to understand.
High school is what you make it, really. Yes, there are people who are going to bug you and yes, it's inevitable, but no, you don't have to make that your focus. I see your point, however, and wish some people would stop thinking entering high school means fulfilling the stereotypes.
To me, going into the whole ';well in 20 years those people will be total bums'; is pathetic. I've seen the pretty pretty princess fall flat on her face, I've seen the egotistical football star get a scholarship to a four-year university, and I've seen the straight-A student fail out of college (not to scare you or anything. I'm just saying this kind of thinking is egotistical). Some people grow out of stupid behavior and some don't.
About the whole sports thing, don't hate on it too much. It's an outlet for some people. Some people also see it as a goal. A girl from my high school ended up competing in the Olympics and recently graduated from UCLA.
Remember that high school doesn't have cliques. People make the cliques and the trends. As long as there are pre-highschoolers entering with the mindset that they *have* to fulfill these stereotypes to survive, it'll keep happening. Just don't fall for it. You seem to have a good head on those shoulders so make the most of it.
Ditzy people- They never go away.
Popularity- biggest waste of time, does go away.
dating- does go away, I will never understand how just because someone is your boyfriend that mean you're in love.
sports- people take them too seriously but they can help people get scholarships for college.
cheating- I always used to tell those people off. Never give them your work.
stereotyping- never goes away, your insecurities and confidence will grow and you will learn not to care.
clothes- girls think that wearing hollister and abercrombie with their boobs hanging out with either make them popular or get boys to like them. In other words, they want approval. All of those clothes are poorly made.
skating- a dumb phase.
drugs- another way to get acceptance. Every person who does drugs used to tell me they envied me for not doing drugs.
music- Who cares what other people like to listen to?
Iphones- expensive phase, sidekick 2.0.
Poindexter.
