You guys go to crappy highschools.
Observant, aren't you?

Yes, we do. Or at least, I consider my high school crappy, others might not, if they went there. It really depends. The school itself isn't that bad, but the other stuff sucks.
QUOTE
My highschool has 140 students, and most of us are delinquents from the bigger highschools in the district. Actually, it's made up of:
Kids who don't give a crap
Kids who are lower income and have to support their family
Kids with certain social or family problems that make life hard enough with all the pressure
Kids who hate homework
Kids who use it for dual enrollment so they can take classes at college
We have no cliques or stereotypes, there isn't a big gap between teachers and students
Lucky. Or maybe not. My school was designed for a maximum capacity of 800 students. We have 1200+. And our cliques aren't so much all the preps, all the goths, all the jocks, all the emos, etc... It's split up further than that, it'll be a couple of smaller sets within those. And most people fit in with two or three groups of different stereotypes.
QUOTE
I could sort of be considered all of the above except for having a low income and not caring. Likewise, we have different cliques, but they're not really cliques, and sometimes people misinterpret cliques. It seems to me at my old high school cliques were mostly about exclusion than inclusion. Here its just people have their friends but they'll hang out with whoever is around, and almost every human being at this school could have a conversation with another. No one feels pressure to conform either, like a lot of my friends smoke a lot of weed and are total burnouts, but I don't feel any pressure to smoke as much, and sometimes I want to get in my other friend's 15 second car and hit the freeway looking for some place to eat. After school sometimes I'll literally just hop in a random car with some homies from my school and head out to a club or something.
The best part is you always have a ride home, and when I drive my car will probably be unintentionally packed, too.
Again, lucky. Or maybe not. There are people who will not allow you to speak to them. If you do, they make your life a living hell. Didn't happen to me (I realized what would happen ahead of time and kept my mouth shut) but one of my friends found rumors flouting arounf that she was a whore because she talked to someone who was just "better than her."

I´ll just say that you, Danny, Channler, Doomed, Kindred, Megil, Kell, etc, are really nice and smart guys that anyone would love to have as friends! And your parents must be very proud of you.....I would be if you were my sons...

You're funny. Nice and smart guy, maybe, it really depends on the situation or time. I've done many stupid things, I'm too sarcastic to be really nice a lot, but I tend to be fairly nice most of the time. And my parents... My dad mostly cares where I am so that he can go out with his friends and not lose the little one to my mother for negligence. Other than that, I can go anywhere, he doesn't care. Then my mother doesn't trust me out of her sight. Probably because a lot of my friends smoke. Or because I refuse to introduce her to my friends. Or because if I did introduce them, I would be grounded forever.

Kindred you said that you either have to fit in a neat little box or create a new one. . Well I seem to have refused to do either.
Ah. No, it's that other people tend to put you in the boxes, not that you go into them voluntarily.

Ah. You have class, gamer10.
