School Stereotype

This is a post I made 5 months ago, I posted it on my tumblr. Click here to see my tumblr

1. Preps

The rich kids. The Preps often seen wearing an expensive clothes, carrying iPhones or custom Blackberries. They are popular, pretty, and kind of cocky sometimes. But they’re nice to certain people. I think they don’t really care about school, maybe they just go to school for the social.

2. Indie

Indie people love art. They don’t like the crappy, mainstream music. They have their own style, they don’t follow trends. They don’t care what people say, and they’re clever. Indies don’t hate their life, like emos. They usually like to go to music concerts or movie festival or art museum. I think they’re the coolest.

3. Wannabes

Posers. Followers. Fakers. Wannabes copy or imitate all or most of the aspects dealing with their idol (this can be a celebrity or a popular person in school). They may wish to have certain clothing, skills, vocabulary, etc., of their idols instead of their own. I think they just don’t have the confidence to be themselves.

4. Jocks and Athletes

Jocks and athletes are different, but they both love sports. But my school don’t have a lot of jocks.

Signs of a jock: Rude, arrogant, stupid, beats up people, dates only cheerleaders and hangs around other jocks

Signs of a true athlete: Love their sport, try to stay down-to-earth (a little arrogance is expected), hang out with whoever they want, date whoever they want, might beat people up but that doesn’t mean it was uncalled for.

5. Alay

Mix emo with scene, then you get alay. They dress like emos (sometimes even call themselves emos), wear makeups like emos. and they have scene’s haircut, piercings, and they username on facebook/myspace would be like Xxxcute9urlzxxX or something like that. Sometimes they even dress like scene too, but worst. They listen to crappy alay music (which suprisingly very popular). The boys like to beat up people, so the girls would say they’re brave. The girls act slutty (forgive my words) around boys. These alay, they usually don’t even know that they really are an alay. and they’re not so bright, almost stupid actually. No offense.

6. Geeks, Nerds, and Dorks

There’s a difference between geeks, nerds, dorks. to explain it, I got this from UrbanDictionary.c

……………. Technical …… Social
Title ………… Skills ……… Skills
————— ———————— ——————
Normie ……… No …………. Yes
Geek ……….. Yes …………. Yes
Nerd ………… Yes …………. No
Dork ………… No ………….. No

Normie: A normal person. Blah.

Geek: An outwardly normal person who has taken the time to learn technical skills. Geeks have as normal a social life as anyone, and usually the only way to tell if someone is a geek is if they inform you of their skills.

Nerd: A socially awkward person who has learned technical skills due to the spare time they enjoy from being generally neglected. Their technical knowledge then leads normies to neglect them even further, leading to more development of their technical skills, more neglection, etc. This vicious cycle drives them even more into social oblivion.

Dork: A person who, although also socially awkward, doesn’t have the intelligence to fill the void with technical pursuits, like a nerd, and is forced to do mindless activities. Almost always alone. Usually with an XBox. Like playing Halo. All day. Every day. Not even understanding how the Xbox is making the pretty pictures on the screen. Very sad.
