Freaks and Geeks

Raising a Child (3 Messages from The Rocking Horse Winner) Labeled: jock, geek, prep, outcast, etc. Everyone ends up receiving a label somehow. The question is how? How did these labels occur? Mom said that that guy was weird and dad said to stay away from him because he is a hoodlum. Mom and dad had been to teach us labels without knowing it. Mom and dad are the people who don’t realize that they messed up their kids until it was too late. Paul ended up dying because of his mother. In D.W.…

the infomercials on the "awesome and efficient" Dyson vacuum cleaner are not aimed towards fifteen year olds like myself scrolling through the channels to find a show to watch. Dyson plays directs commercials like so towards mothers, and cleaning freaks. How do they get people to buy their vacuum? Through the appeals known as Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. Although all three appeals are equally important when attempting to successfully persuade a group of people, one…

be like them. We see a lot of peer pressure among students and it reaches to the point where students will do anything just to make others accept them; An example of this situation is an old series called “freaks and geeks”, where a girl is coming from a stage that she wants to be like the freaks, so she starts leaking, smoking, and drinking just to feel like she belongs in the group, but eventually they accept her by how she really is. Schools should try educating teenagers about what are vices…

groups in order to have a normal functioning high school. Janice introduces the different groups to Cady, “Asian nerds, cool Asians, varsity jocks, unfriendly black hotties, girls who eat their feelings, girls who don’t eat anything, sexual active bad geeks, and the plastics.” Socialization is seen when the cafeteria is split into different social groups because they each have common characteristics. Socialization is a continuing process whereby an individual acquires a personal identity and…

Bullies they suck right? Or have you never been bullied or perhaps you have been the person to bully? Have you changed your self so that you are not bullied making your self a person you are not? Do you consider other people as outsiders or yourself as an outsider? Many people especially in high school do what I like to call following which is changing yourself in order to fit better if to a group of friends, maybe that means that you start to bully others because it's what you friends do or…

There is an old proverb that reads, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” meaning beauty is impossible to judge because everyone has a different concept of how they define beauty. This saying can be used in many situations. For example, everyone has their own high school experience, the good, the bad, and the ugly. High school is an awkward time for teens, most of which have not yet discovered their identities. As a result of the unknown, cliques are formed. Anybody who doesn’t live under a…

I was teased at everyday I was greeted as Twinkie, I was named called constantly in school I was called a geek, freak, a nobody. It was to much for me to handle I begged my parents to move but my father told me words may hurt but actions speaks louder than words. I then understood what my father meant. The next day I was greeted with the same name calling I …

distinctions — poseurs, populars, users, losers, social climbers, athletes, airheads, good girls, bad girls, girlie girls, guy’s girls, sluts, closet sluts, born-again virgins, prudes, over-achievers, slackers, stoners, outcasts, originals, geeks, and freaks, to name just a few — will melt away. The list is refreshing in that sense. It can reduce an entire female population down to three clear-cut groups."(Prologue) Key passage expiation The theme is explained in the beginning " The List",…

I am Cierra Howard. A 15 year old African American/ Indian Christian female. My skin is a light shade of caramel of which they call “lightskin”. This makes everyone question whether I’m mixed with African and Caucasian. I am 5’3 with brown hair and brown eyes. My friends say that around my eyes, I look Chinese. I’m in the school band for Mt. Morris or EAJ Highschool and I play the flute; I would love to learn a bunch of other different instruments though. My mom is a secretary and my dad works…

bullying. Like most Australian High schools, North Shore High School in Mean Girls has many different cliques including: “Asian Nerds, Cool Asians, J.V Jocks, Black Hotties, fat girls, thin girls, band geeks, want-to-be’s and The Plastics”.

Throughout the film she transitions to the clique described as “the worst people you will ever meet”, The Plastics. The Plastics are the stereotypical…
