popular

You know what is funny. I knew a few people that nobody liked. They were either socially awkward, jerks, or something of the sort. But EVERYONE knew who they were. No one hung out with them, but they were very popular, in a literal sense.

Many people try to be popular (including myself) in high school, but I never really understood why. It all just seems so silly to me now. Funny how everyone realizes that after they graduate.

Girls want boyfriends with skills.

Nunchuck skills, bow-hunting skills, computer hacking skills.

I wish I had skills...

Aren't you a good drawer?

My school, thankfully, is not tarnished by huge problems with cliques and stereotypes. We have some people who would like to think they out-do everyone else with their noses in the air and wallets out where everyone can see it, but we're really just laughing at them on their throne.

Academically, and by this I mean the kids the majority of the teachers (excluding the principals - go figure) feel most trustworthy and more intelligent, the freaks run the school. We love every minute of it.

Popularity among peers, it's a close tie between the freaks and the gangsters. It may just be bias, but I find that those of us in the "freak" crowd have much more respect for eachother, ourselves, teachers and the school itself than the image-conscious 'gangsters' who must disrespect authority at any given moment in order to keep their cool.

There is a lot of tension at my school. There is a lot of racial tension (the majority of it "reverse racism"), but the freaks keep it all together. We help the loners with their homework, we walk new kids to their classes, we take care of the disabled students, we respect our teachers, and most of all we are there for eachother. It's the most open-minded, layed back atmosphere I could ask for.

You should really get your stuff out of my locker, I can't fit my nunchucks in there...

Gah.

Dam, if i knew what i know now, and could go back to highschool, i would be the king of my school. Confidence is the only thing you need to be popular. People are attracted to people who have it. Unfortunatly, usually the only people who have it in highschool are jerks, stuckup girls, jocks, good looking, and bullys or any combination of these things.

Where I come from...

A Billy Joel T-Shirt
Tight jeans with a hole near the crotch
A pair of pink high tops

And a switchblade

equals AWESOME

And I find the look never goes out of style. But if I light a cigarette too close to any of my bitches, their hair catches on fire.

in england:

girls plastered with make up
boys who are way too over confident and dumb
