High School Stereotypes

Superior Essays
High school is a different type of experience. During this time you meet many different types of people who come from many different backgrounds, you may have even attended school with most of them since elementary school.

Every year when you come back to school you see them and you automatically know who they are going to hang out with and basically can sum up what they did all summer because even when you weren't in school they were putting their entire life online for the world to see. Does it ever get amusing or even boring seeing these same people return to their same routines and "normal" behavior? I am sure …show more content…

Did they think that wearing short skirts and impressing the boys were going to get them far in …show more content…

These are also the couples who you see fight in public a lot and when they fight it's like an all out war. It's almost better than watching National Geographic and Lifetime combined into one great show. They are also the ones who will contentiously be on and off with each other and eventually go their separate ways, go through a few different partners, hook up in between those partners and always claim to be just "friends" as adults even though they secretly still love each other to just only have

Though these student archetypes are quite cliché, they are extremely real and exist in almost every school.…
