Ours has the stereotypical group:

Jocks/Cheerleaders
"Goths" (I use that term lightly, they THINKG they're goths ^.^)
Drug Users
Normal People
Anime Fans/Computer Geeks/DnD Players! (Yay! ^.^)

It is actually kind of sad, I wish everyone could just get along with eachother =(

Well, what about your school?

We have those normal cliques, but everyone gets along fine. People tend to shy away from the "goths", though.

I want to see these highschools on TV and in movies where everyone just dorks around on the lawn outside before class. Or where the lockers are situated outside. WTF?! I never had that kinda stuff. You had to be in your chair in homeroom at like 7:30 or you were getting detention..

Practically not at all. The vast majority of us get along just fine. The few "bad boys" that didn't give up on going to my school yet are practically invisible.

We're mainly geeks/gamers/roleplayer etc. of all kinds with a few "bad boys" that tend to get ignored and who just generally keep to themselves.

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.

This will be my school's second year open, and there really aren't any groups. I mean, the football people hang out with the football people most of time, but no one only hangs out with certain people. If you had to classify...

Soccer guys + girls
Football
Dirties
Computer gaming....people
Party-goers


Maybe?

Ghetto punks: (black people/white "black people) they are ok but most of the people in this group are just strange

Druggies/skaters: comprised of gang members and the like, they were cool as long is you didnt run around with a red bandana

Anime/gamer geeks(me): the name says it all

hardcore prepies: stupid stuck up people

Ghetto prepies (also known as skanky bitches)
annoying women with loose morals and too tight clothing (it was disgusting)

"normal" people: mostly Misc. people that dont fit into any other group, and they have semi groups in them too, but to many to list

then there is the ultimate evil of having a highschool and middleschool combined

the middleschoolers: most of them had their ego stuck up so high that i found it hard not to just at least give them a well placed kick to the face(i never did though )

Can I go to your school?

The rough and tough people
Everyone else

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

I went to a high school that was ~70% black. Now that isn't a problem, but it did lead to some poor, confused white guys saying things like that, "Here's a shout-out to mah marshmallow peeps!"
Barry, please don't kill me.

Anyway. The old alma mater was generally divided as such:

~ Preps
~ The Football team (Go Cougars! )
~ The Angst-Ridden Goth Poets' Society
~ Primps (the opposite of a preppy girl; think about the name and you'll figure it out )

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

Not really. For some reason, at our school the jocks and D&D players get along. The normal people help the drug users with homework, etc.

However, I am apart of a very small group of people, that hates everyone. Espically Goths.

I tended to think of the people in my highschool as three groups.

  • Those who will be spared
  • Random Targets
  • Priority Targets

    As you may have guessed, I really DIDN'T LIKE Highschool.

  • I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

    We had a good deal of groups in the highschool where I went, but they tended to get along with each other for the most part, as each group had members who crossed over to other groups. No clique tried to isolate itself completely from any of the others.

    Jocks
    Nerds
    Skateboarders
    Rejects
    Goths
    Cheerleaders (who controlled the yearbook, thus managing to dominate it entirely)
    Hispanics (they spoke their own language, so they hung out together)

    Among my closest friends were a member of the Hispanic clique and a Jock/Nerd crossover. I hung out a lot with the Hispanics and the Skateboarders, competed with the Jocks in phys ed, and spent most of my class time in with the Nerds (of whom I was one, and still am).

    We died in 1995.

    Actually never had too much problem with segregation issues, because our school system was "legally" segregated.. Two highschools less than a block apart, one was Elsik 90% black 10% everything else, Hastings 60% everything else, 40% black. Not to be racist or anything, but blackness was a clique all it's own when I was in Highschool, and where I grew up, this wasn't a good thing if you were white. I still managed to have black friends, so never any serious complications after my freshman year, but it did manage to brood distrust.

    Freshman/Sophmore year is really only BAD years as far as cliques go in my school. By the time you are a junior/senior, there is enough maturity to counterbalance it, and everyone generally gets along. Yeah, you still have your "tighte" groups, but for the most part, no caste system anymore.

    I had no group, I was part all belonged to none. My friends were Jocks/Nerds/Thespians/DnDers, you name it. I dated cheerleaders, I dated nerds. I had no social hangups. I had my few close/good friends, that were more neighborhood than school. So that was never an issue, if I wasn't accepted for a certain person, well didn't bother me none. etc.
