Lenlalron had this to say about Duck Tales:
Can I go to your school?My school just has:
People who are popular
The rough and tough people
Everyone else
No. Sorry. We can't have you growing an ego.
Cheerleaders/Britney-spears look-alikes(I lump these all together because they all had A. No brain cells B. Extremely tight and awful-looking clothes, most on girls who should NOT have worn them. C. They all grouped around in the halls eight across so you couldn't walk past.)
The jocks actually didn't form their own groups, with perhaps the exception of those football teams.
Goths were evident somewhat in either school, dark to artsy.
Oddly enough, the smart kids were often athletes, actors, artsy people as well, so there wasn't really any 'nerd' clique at all.
Now for the different ones. In the Philly school there were the Abercrombie prep clones, and the inner-city blacks/hispanics brought in so that they could get a better education. There was also what we used to call the "Asian Mafia", a group of about two dozen asian kids who all sat at the same lunch table all four years. In Seattle there were skaters seperate from the goths, but both groups were stoners at the same time.
Since I had moved around so much, I had learned to adapt to just about every group, so I almost had my pick of where to sit, with the exception of the Brain-dead cheerleader/slut(there's no other word for them, I'm sorry =P) table. [ 08-15-2002: Message edited by: Azrael Heavenblade ]
that is all.
No, Really. Bite me.

1) Whores. This is pretty much every single female in the school. The ones who wear revealing things in winter. They generally flow with the tides of fashion, and even if they live in Regent Park, always seem to have expensive clothes/cel phones/pagers. Our tax dollars at fucking work.
2) Rap freaks. The ones who, like, base their entire life around it. It's scary. Very scary. Oh, they're not all wiggers, either.
3) Career students. The ones who, like, plan on spending their life in school.
4) Artsy people. These tend to span all groups but have their own individual thing too.
5) Me. I am like the only "goth" there. Note I use that term loosely.
"Preppies" - Follow fashion everywhere. Lots of dumbasses.
"Perfectionists" - Anybody could be in this category. Nerdy, preppy, whatever, if you get straight A's there's probably some sort of 'perfectionist' effort involved. Though almost all of them dress preppy and also fit into the "Preppies" category. I kinda-sorta fit into this one as well.
"Former or Current ESL Students" - Asians and Indians, mostly. They clump together because they speak the same language, though there's tons of inter-mingling between other groups.
"Wanna-be Goths/Metalheads" - I don't know much about this one because I don't know how they identify themselves. I know one who I *think* calls herself "goth", but like 90% of what she listens to is the Doors, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and some nu-metal. I think she said once that she had 14 Pink Floyd CDs or something like that. I don't remember because it was last year.
"Loners-ish/Quiet-ish" - I kinda fit into this one. Some of the "perfectionist" kids are pushed into this one because nobody really wants to talk to them because they're considered "geeky". Which would be why I fit here, 'cause I don't really talk to anybody unless they talk to me, and that's usually nobody. My friend Brandon fits into this one pretty well because he tends to be extremely misanthropic, and nobody really liked him much after he smacked the crap out of one of the idiots jabbering away in Biology last year.
"Ghetto Playaz" - We be up in da hizzouse. This guy I know, Jay, fits pretty well here. Some people call him a wigger because he's only half black, though. =\ Alot of the Asian guys seem to like this group.
"Jackasses in General" - Most people. Alot are football players or cheerleaders, but my friend Brian is on the football team and he is one smart cookie, so obviously it's not all of them.
"Druggies" - There's not really any designated "thing" for a "druggie". Some are preppy, some aren't, some smell like weed 24/7, etc.
"Cool People" - Because in Mustang, if you aren't fucking, using, or drinking, you aren't doing anything!
Nerds: I sharpened my teeth on these thick-skinned fellows.
Drug Users: They did not like me because I enjoyed mocking their habits.
Preppies: Accepted me as one of their own.
Twits: See Jocks.
My group? We were the jerks, of course. 
I mean look at it. You have youre jocks who are the guys pumping your gas when you are 25. Then you have your cheerleaders who are pregnant with the Jocks 5th kid.
Then you have the smart kids that no one liked working for Dow and making 75k+ right out of college. and the Geeks who played on the computer working for Cisco,Microsoft or IBM and making about 50k+
Ahh life is good.

No
Our groups?
1) A very small collective group of nerds/DnD players/etc.
2) People on drugs.
3) Comedians.
4) People who sell drugs.
5) A very small collective group of pretty rich kids.
6) People who do and sell drugs.
7) Potheads.
8) Crack addicts.
I could go on forever with the drug thing. My school is the kind of placw where a lot of people show up on mushrooms. Buncha racists perverted bastards. But that's life.
Populars/cheerleaders
Jocks(which was most of the male student body)
Artists (Weee =) )
non populars,/dorks
*shrugs* was a small school... three towns went to it.

I don't think its so much the 'jocks' won't suceed or the 'loners' that will suceed, it's the more effort you put in, the more you get out of school. You have to have some motivation to play football, correct? At our school, you have to keep good grades also. So, a lot of our football players get 3.5's and 3.7's, and still do a great job in the game. With they're four years of football, and good GPA, and maybe they have a job or fairly good SAT or ACT scores, a lot of these kids will go to college, good ones at that.
Also, take a look at the dance team, or the soccer players. Both of those take a ton of practice, and almost all of the dance team is smart, and the soccer guys and girls all do well in school. Again, you have to be commited to do school clubs or sports. You have to have motivation.
To me, the kids that seem like they won't get anywhere in life, are the ones who have no comitment and don't care. I know a few guys who are really into the computer, to the point at which they aren't motivated to do anything else. You could call them socially retarded. They get poor grades, they don't particpate in extracurricular activieties, and they aren't really interested in anything. To me, these seem like the kids who won't go anywhere or do anything. They'll just end up working minimum wage and living with they're parents until they are 25 or so. Them and the druggies. Winners don't do drugs.

Thank you.
What I'm going to do is put down the Major catagorys which everyone will fall into at least one of these at my school, then the minors which you could belong to none or all of them. Now lets see if I'm any good at this.
Major:
Accepted Jocks: These are the football players and whatnot, the ones that play the big 'revenue' sports.
Band Nerd: While everyone in band may not be obsessed with it lets face it, you spen 2 and a half hours a day with these people, they are going to be your friends.
Goth: While mybe not actually goth in the whole wearing black and drinking peoples blood type thing (that has happend at my school by the way), they normally hang out with an odd group and are shunned by most others.
Losers: The people that refuse to participate in the entirerty of High School social life, normally go around in small groups of 3-4.
Minor Groups:
Grade Whores: They are obsessed with grades, can normally recited the top ten students in the class.
Club Whores: Can't validate themselves in any other way and thus participate in more clubes then you can fricken imagine.
Small Sport Jocks: Play in the bizzaro not really suported sports like tennis and lacrosse. They gell well even with people from other small sports.
Whores: Cheerleaders and the like.
Skaters: Wearing the classic skater duds, if you see them not wearing a hoodie advertising some bearing, deck, or team count yourself lucky.
Gamers: The magic players that only think they are the higher form 'True Gamer'.
True Gamer: The people that played magic before the cycle phase of magic and have moved on to other games and plays multible roleplaying, table top, and board games.
Punk: Normally jokers and fairly nice people, elitist about their music though.
Posers: Hangs out with punks or skaters no one likes them but dosn't have the heart to tell them to go away.
Well I got maybe half of them there but I'm too lazy to try and remember the other ones, feel free to add major and minor groups. Remember that a major group as to be distinct enough to seperate it from all the other major groups.

Grendel painfully thought these words up:
I've always been this way.. except when I was little, I was very outgoing then.. but so is everyone.I have trouble making friends, am kind of shy, and don't really like to talk much. when people do talk to me, I'm very friendly. But I usually have a very straight face, no smile and a hard stare. Just the way I've always been.
Thats EXACTLY how I am... I haven't really started a conversation in the "real" world in about a year... I'd be fine if people talked to me, but... I usually just follow my friends that fall somewhere in between borderline anti-preps/skaters... Too bad I only see them at lunch and when we play tcg's... heh
