Breaking Down The High School Stereotype

So, to expand on an idea that was brought up to me just moments ago, and also defending yesterday's first post, I am going to write again to you all!

YAY!

Now, I think that in my meager experience with high school has taught me that there are popular people, but they don't meet all of the stereotypes portrayed by the media. That includes the internet, TV shows, books, movies, webseries, etc.

The Stereotypes...

They are all gorgeous: That is a blatant lie. Very few people are blessed with gorgeousness in compariosn to those who are not. There are definitely the girls who are very pretty, and that's all good and well for them. But my grade is severely lacking in blondes, so that stereotype just kind of fades away. Many girls don't have the perfect, thin body, and those that do are mostly lacking in the boob department.

They dress in sexually revealing ways all the time: That one is laughable to me. Most girls in my school dress awesome-ly only a small percentage of the time. The rest of the time they wear yoga pants shoved sloppily into their Uggs. Exactly, Ugh. And, dearies, if you're going to wear your pencil skirts with tights and boots, it looks better to wear those slouchy boots that are so in style right now rather than your rolled-down chocolate brown Uggs.

The lines in social hierarchy are VERY CLEAR: False. I have friends who are connected to both me, closer to the bottom, and the very top of the pyramid. If there are, say, 5 levels, I flow through three of them quite easily. The most powerful thing you can do is have friends everywhere.

They are whores: Nope. Sure, we all have our whores, but I've noticed that the girls who get less positive male attention (i. e., lower on the scale) are the ones to screw around more. But the popular people definitely have their whores. They just all aren't. Many are definitely the ones to say "I'm gonna wait until marriage," and other stuff like that. So, I say, good for you girls.

Now, I've basically hit the nail on the head, so I will say that many of these girls still feel an unrealistic level of self-importance and egotism, and that's where yesterdays post came in. Because very few of them are odd. That's why they're POPULAR. They are utterly normal.
