I'm actually glad I speak such good english and everything that I can be taken for an American :tongue:
My high school was really small so we didn't have cliques. Everyone knew everyone and aside from a couple of little feuds everyone was generally cool with each other. In my first year there in 2003 (The year the school opened) I was one of only 40 students. When I graduated four years later at the end of 2006 there was about 250 - 300 students. Now I think theres about 400. But yeah, only a couple of people really spring to mind that you could attach a stereotype label on.
Here's my bro in the 11th and me in the 12th I was cool with everyone in high school, I was your neighborhood d-boy. I was thugged the fuck out at the time though, I ran with alot of bangers back then. C.A.L.(Crazy Ass Latinos/Nortenos) L.O-B(Lo Mob/Pueblo Indians) and my click BC/The Burrito Click(Brothers United Rebel Revolution International Thug Organization California Living International Crime Kingpins). Yeah, even then with the acronyms. Actually, if you guys knew me back then, you'd probably hate me. I was cocky, irretable, and ready to fight at the drop of a hat. I remember playing a game called "You wont rip em" when we'd see a random person and someone would say you won't rip em, right now and whoever was called out would walk up to that random person a K him on the spot. Damn, I was a dickhead in those days. Yes, I was one of those guys who people looked at and said "That kid's a menace."
i was the outsider who wasn't accepted by any of them. oh the art and the engineering folks would occasionally smile at me, and let me eat at the same table in the dining commons, but i had maybe a total of one or two really good friends and that was about it. but then i was just about the only one at the little highschool in the little town up in the forested mountains i went to who'se parents didn't own a car. so the only way i got anywhere was by walking, greyhound, or my dad's pass on the railroad. greyhound did offer local service then, and the railroad had one or two trains that were kind of semi-local, and the schools all had school busses to get everyone there and back. and yes, it was a three mile walk if i missed it, which i guarantee i didn't do often. so i really didn't get to hang out with anybody, outside of school. well most of everyone there had even longer busrides then i did to get there and back, the district streatching almost 50 miles in one direction, and at least 20 all the rest of the way arround. i was lucky in a sense to live within a mile of the town it was located not more then a couple of miles the other side of. a town of little more then a single thousand people. up in my forested hills. my dad bought his first car, a little red 63 datsun pickup, the year i graduated in 66. and that was only after he sold the only place we had ever owned to move to a slightly larger town to complete some training he was taking. my mom never did learn to drive or want to, and i got my first vehicule, a 59 chevy panel truck, three years later, after i had left home and was, elsewhere. brothers and sisters of course, i had none. after me my mom didn't want any more, even if she physically could have, which is dubious. =^^= .../\...
The clique system at my high school was different from your typical high school. Basically, you were either cool or not, that's it. Jocks hung out with gangbangers, cheerleaders hung with nerds, as long as you weren't a sucker it was saucey. There were so many gangs at my school that the code of the street actually bled into the school culture, it's all good as long as you don't snitch.
I hanged with everyone, the cool people, the losers, the potheads, the jocks.. dunno what that makes me but i didnt care at the time
I actually spent 1 semester in a hs in Texas. Senior year. I was.. the popular French girl who everybody wanted to be friends with.. the local distraction.. the person with the coolest clothes.. the skinny girl who ate like a horse.. the girl guys wanted to be seen with.. the mediator.. the questions answerer.. and I made some great friends.. but my family life (well host family) wasn't going so well at all.. in fact that an euphism.. it was HORRRRRRRRRRRRIBLE
i was a plotting scheming brainiac stoner jock with a dont fuck with me attitude in a very small school system.I defended the weak n geeks and caused enough trouble to be sittin in an office with the superidiot of the schools on a weekly basis but never enough trouble to be expelled permanently.I was a leader but desired no sheep and tended to be a standout amongst the crowd because of my tendencies to change my hair styles n colors ,play non female sports and went to college half day while high school the other half... i guess i dont fit into any stereotypical role,,,, i just am
eh, can't say I was in a clique, I barely was at school... Though when I was there I couldn't stand to be around my peers, I always enjoyed being around older people then I... I just went and got my learn on so I could graduate and get out of there...
I hung with the freaks, which included the hippies, goth/trenchcoat types and army guys... Also...no football team= no cheerleaders.
Isn't it funny though to look back at school and pictures of yourself during those wonderful preteen and teen years.. Ah, memories like little treasures that warm your heart...
I guess I wasnt part of any group either. I was friendly with pretty much everyone I came across but only had one actual friend who I hung out with everyday. Outside of school I used to hang out at this girls house and a bunch of girls came over and smoked pot everyday, that was pretty much my routine. Then there was the guys I hung out with who made it their goal to buy and sell as many drugs possible. But in the actual highschool that I attended the longest, I was pretty much the kid tripping on mushrooms staring at the sun, and that's if I even went at all. I used to show up for the homeroom, and when first period came my friend and I would just walk outside and drive away. Smoke in the woods, drive around and explore, etc. I went to a highschool that was more than half gay kids for about half the year in 11th grade, but was caught with drugs and sent back to my old highschool. Lots of mushrooms, acid, weed, whiskey, and so on. My highschool had over 3000 kids and there were only a few cliques, too many kids to even decipher.
