<p>In my school, the 2010 nerds have branched off into four primary groups… I’m in one of them, but I’m decently well known (mayhaps the same as popular?) throughout school. I am involved in many, many different things on campus… ranging from swim team to AP anything; i’ve seriously got a laundry list of interests. This summer I’ve spent partying almost non-stop since June… I’ve had some get-together or party to go to almost daily (at least 4-5 times a week).</p>
<p>I kinda wanna go back to just studying. <_<"</p>
<p>At my school, you see lots of the jocks in Honors but not AP. Most want to go to UGA I guess. When I was in AP, we mostly had gifted kids but it’s funny because I wasn’t gifted. When you take the Intro/Beginning Theater class, you get people from every clique including the preps/jocks. I am in the advanced class next year, so I probably will be with lots of the Theater kids. I know lots of the popular preppy cheerleaders and most are just in college prep classes.</p>
<p>Well, I have a group of friends and we don’t really belong to any clique. We’re pretty diverse in terms of ethnicities (1 Norwegian, 1 Asian, 1 Canadian, 1 Venezuelan/Polish). </p>
<p>And I guess we’re pretty diverse in terms of personalities/interests. One is on the school’s dance team which has a slutty reputation, but she’s not slutty… :] The other is ranked second in the world for her age/sport (we never get to see her outside of school…). I’m the volleyball fanatic who actually cares a lot about her grades. And my other friend is the clown who is crazy about running.</p>
<p>We’re best friends, but we all have other different friends. Sometimes, the popular kids come over to talk to us, but we’d never become “part of them” because they strike us as unusually shallow and immature. Sometimes the dance/cheer team comes over and we manage to hold up a decent conversation. And once in a while, a nerd will pull me aside to ask a question. </p>
<p>I honestly don’t know what clique this could be considered as. As for stereotypes, if you ask anyone, the answer will probably be [fairy_dreams] is sweet/nice/smart I guess we’re “popular” in a sense that each one of us knows a separate part/clique of the school. We’re pretty well-known and people just refer to us as “those four”.</p>
<p>-Theater Geeks
-Smarties <- So serious, there are maybe tenish of us. lol
-Crazies <- Okay this one has nothing to do with me really, but my best friend has cycled through every mental health professional in our school becasue she was *****y to her first one and now she lies and overexagerates everything to make it seem like she’s really crazy. It’s actually quite amusing becasue in general she’s a sweet, smart, theater geek type girl. XD</p>
<p>Here’s how my school goes:
Slut moron partiers: not me
Stupid jocks: not me
Smartish jocks: not me
Fairly smart, fairly average at sports: me
Nerds: sort of me
Geeks: not me
Social rejects who all just sit by each other silently: not me</p>
<p>I am not really one thing, but I’d say I am most like a jock and smart. I wouldn’t say I am that popular, but most people know who I am…It’s weird when 7th graders say hi to me and I have no idea who they are, but I remember when I was the 7th grader looking up to the juniors and seniors. Now, I’m the one being looked up to. But I would say I am generally well-liked by the people that do know me.</p>
<p>Well, I’m kinda well known, well liked. I’m friends with some of the jocks, nerds, geeks, theater, and other groups. I don’t base people off of the group they’re in, but who they are, because not everyone fits in a clique exactly.</p>
<p>If I had to give myself one, I’d say Nerd/Theater-ish, only because I hang out with those people and like musicals and theater as much as them =]</p>
<p>well back when i was in high school,
i didn’t hang out with anyone because i was too busy schmoozing with the teachers,
and i didn’t even know what the cliques were,
except it was a magnet school so there were black people cliques and white/asian cliques</p>
<p>but somehow i got voted homecoming princess,
i’m not sure why,
i guess i was popular even though i had no friends
and people definitely knew me/teachers talked about me,
because i was that kid in advanced classes who was graduating early and was really smart</p>
<p>don’t have a focused clique, i just tend to hang out wiith whoever, whenever. glad that i don have any enemies, and glad that somehow, me and alll the people we know love to get along.</p>
<p>Universally hated, I would say. I’d probably put myself into, like, the ‘evil villain’ clique. But I would say my presence affects the students at my school positively; they are all united in their hate for me. So, ya, I’m a good person.</p>
<p>I’d say popularity and renown are very different (just as the OP said), but not just in the sense of whether someone is famous for being a jerk or well-liked by everyone. There’s also the difference between the renown of a top student and the popularity of a football star.</p>
<p>^^ Haha, that’s an interesting response. Are you the villain because you are misunderstood or because you are intentionally a jerk? And good job on getting into Princeton. Maybe things’ll change there</p>
<p>^No, I was jk about villain lol. However, I would say that a lot of ppl at my school know me, yet most would rather not befriend me, just cuz I’m a boring person lol. Thx though, I hope I am a little more social at Princeton =)</p>
<p>It always seemed to me like the sort of cliques you see in Heathers or Mean Girls don’t actually exist and most schools have a fluid social structure.</p>
<p>Or the idea of cliques is outdated and doesn’t really reflect the reality of many American High Schools.</p>
<p>I guess I was sort of popular. I mean a lot of people knew who I was and had no reason to dislike me. I was definitely not heavily involved in the social affairs of the school though…</p>
I guess we’re “popular” in a sense that each one of us knows a separate part/clique of the school. We’re pretty well-known and people just refer to us as “those four”.</p>
