So... I think I'm a Loner now?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm a senior and I've gotten tired of hanging out with the type A Asians (I'm Asian, btw) who only wanna talk about SATs or whine about grades and the Type B Asians, the ones who think they're really cool and perpetuate the Black stereotypes about a bajillion times more than any actually black people do, and the rich jock crowd who only wanna talk about football and basketball, and the band kids--of whom I used to be a part of--who are frankly just kind of weird, with all the promiscuity and drugs. So... yeah... I actually don't really feel the need to have anyone's company during lunch, but the idea of sitting by myself as a senior and being pinned as the "loner" isn't too appealing -.-</p>

<p>I kid you not, this was the conversation in the cafeteria the other day.</p>

<p>Guy 1: Yo, wazzup, **<strong><em>?
Guy 2: What?!?! What you call meee?!
Guy 1: I called you a *</em></strong>*, mang!!
Guy 3: Yo, mang, We gonna beat you up!!</p>

<p>This carried on for about ten minutes. I don't know if it went on for longer because I left. They're not actually as stupid as they sound. They get good grades. Their conversation, however, is er... not very intellectual</p>

<p>Anyone else in the same boat?</p>

<p>Yeah, different circumstances, same idea. Homework time, as far as I’m concerned.</p>

<p>Sounds like the type A asians are the ones you probably want to hang out with… you can’t go wrong with talking about stuff that’s not bad for you- at least it’s better than drugs, and ■■■■■■■. And there’s some cool type A’s (me), you’ll just have to find them.</p>

4

<p>I consider myself type AB. I work hard and play hard. There’s nothing wrong with partying every once in a while.</p>

5

<p>Just get along with everyone. There are people at my school who aren’t restricted to one group of students, and they seem to have a good time.</p>

6

<p>I never really saw these stereotypical cliques at my school…</p>

7

<p>In my case, I feel like the clique situation is what separates us from a lot of other schools. My school is somewhat large (I guess), so there really isn’t a “popular” crowd or anything like that. It’s just the cliques. And it’s pretty tough to break in to the cliques. </p>

<p>I have friends, I’m just not really part of a clique, and the majority of my friends come from outside of school.</p>

8

<p>there are definitely cliques are my school but i tend to float between groups. i’m an all around kind of guy. i’m not part of the football jock, but more like the tennis jocks- get it?
i’m not part of the type A asian crowd (who also happens to be the “gangsta asians” in my school" but i am sort of part of another asian crowd who parties a bit more.
GET IT?</p>

9

<p>I hate the type A sort of people. But i ended up sitting with them today at lunch…considering that all of my other friends were in a different lunch period. I was so lonely…lol. And believe it or not i used to be good friends with those people…no i barely speak to them and even when i say hi they give me a bland “hey”.</p>

<p>i wonder what the hell happenened?</p>

<p>tikiman, don’t sweat about it :D</p>

<p>a lot of type b asians live in my neighbourhood. weird. but most of them are vietnamese/hmongs…lmao.</p>

10

<p>Try to get to know them. So many people just act like that because it’s so much easier to socialize without intelligence, but in the end they have something insightful to say if you can get to that point.</p>

<p>Well, maybe not those particular kids, but I’m sure a lot of the others do.</p>

11

<p>I know exactly what you mean. Especially about the sitting alone at lunch part. I don’t mind sitting alone but the fact that I am a “loner” sitting by myself at lunch bothers me sometimes. All I can say is to look harder for people who share your interests. There has to be at least 1 person.</p>

12

<p>there’s no way a person can be completely type A, people just aren’t that rigidly segregated.</p>

13

<p>You can’t be all type A, that’s impossible.</p>

<p>I’m in a similar situation. Sadly the people in my lunch last year are in my same lunch this year… and they suck. So it sucks for me to have to find someone to talk to. Though I did find my robotics friend, who has some cool people to talk to.</p>

14

<p>Im type ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP</p>

<p>My friends arent in my lunch so I only sit with 2-3 other people.</p>

<p>I can skip study hall and go to lunch at a later period even though im not supposed to, so its not as bad</p>

15

<p>I’m part of the type X group, where my friends and I act like normal human beings, dissimilar from those who you describe exist at your school, and carry on normal conversations about movies, food, the weather, different places and countries, teachers, colors, music, etc. with a good joke here and there. Are you sure there aren’t any normal people at yourr school?</p>

16

<p>OMG you have groups of Asians at your school? B-b-but we have ten or below Asians at our entire school, I kid you not. Take out the losers, and what’s left all dilutes through other groups. I never dreamed there could be enough Asians to form both a type A and B. Gosh.</p>

17

<p>Lol yeah, trust me, to the people who’ve said no one can be all type A… these guys somehow manage to only talk about grades during lunch. Occasionally they’ll talk about online games, which I don’t play</p>

<p>^ Haha, yeah, my school has tons of asians. We make up like 35% of the school</p>

18

<p>^See, imo, type A-ness extends beyond grades. It’s a personality style which applies to all aspects of the type A person’s life.</p>

19

<p>“^ Haha, yeah, my school has tons of asians. We make up like 35% of the school”</p>

<p>That’s a lot, where do you live?</p>

<p>My high school was like ~15% Asian, and I thought that was pretty high.</p>
