As I see, some people are comfortable with others, and cannot seem to pull themselves away. that's fine, but there are always going to be people out there who Are of a different group that are going to care about you, and I'm one of them. I'm considered to your people, a "Goth" or "Dark" or even a "druggie" which has no standing point at all, but I do want to say that looks can be deciving, and we all do share the same color of blood. We are all one, yet different in our own ways. -Dark Sadness P.S. Good job about writing about this subject!!!!  |

When I was in high school, i graduated last year, I was in the "popular group" but it wasn't because that's where I wanted to be, it's kinda where i fell, I made friends with everyone, because I guess it was my peronality, not because of the clothes a wore, or my hair, or shoes, because those things i could care less about, i don't wear barnad name clothes or shoes, because i will never buy a shirt that is 40 buckaroo's.. But I have to say is that, my high school was different, and there were MANY types of people there and some were not as "popular" as many others, but I still were friends with them, and so where the "popular" people, and they weren't snobs or anything like that.. but I know what you mean. and it sad that some people can't be like you and treat everyone the same. great post! Peace and Love ~~Carrie~~ |

At school i made a conscious decision to be myself.You are very correct when you say that people can be very false,hypocritical,two faced and materialistic.The key decider of popularity is your personality.Some people are popular because their just nice people with alot going for them,while others are so threatening and confident people think it's best to have them as a friend than an enemy even though they don't particularily like them.Not me!I show you i like you if i do,if i don't i avoid you or just ignore you.As you can imagine i created a lot of trouble for myself_too opiniated i guess.But thats me.Best to be yourself.Highschool can be fun.It's not a balancing act its your life.You don't have to be friends with people just because you are already.Be true to yourself and keep being nice,i'm sure that won't be difficult.Best of luck anyway,Nifty!  |

Us freaks don't care about the superficial trends that goes on in the insecure 'popular' preppy groups.The word prep derives from the term "college prep". When you really think about it, the word prep in academic terms would describe us who are descrbed as Goth, because those of us who are described as Goth as usually the ones who are really into computers and end up having computer related jobs like programming and literary jobs.Preps are insecure, and that's why they dress and act like eachother.-TessekTheQuarren  |

That's why companies like Abercromie and music like Brittney Spears is very popular, because the preps ("popular" group) who listen to it all try to be like one another because they are afraid to be different.-TessekTheQuarren |

You make a very good point. I also had to deal with alot of crap from my so called friends, and it was not until i moved across the country that i found real friends and ditched those who i had been wiith. But eclipse...my post was not about freaks...it was about sokmething different, though many of those people are "freaks"  |

My high school also had lots of clicks. But I was one of the few people who could sort of join in any of them. I just hung out with whoever I felt comfortable around, whoever they were. At lunch, one day I might be sitting with the "nerds", the next day with some of the preps, the next day with the "skaters", etc. But overall, I'd say I felt most comfortable with the "nerd"-type because I could be myself and not worry about putting on any kind of an act to impress anyone. The other interesting thing is that I could really see a difference in personality in people depending on if they were with their "click" or just talking with me alone - and most were really cool people when they were alone. But it got pretty frustrating to see the people just not being themselves when with a group - I just wanted to smack them sometimes and say "snap out of it, stop faking and just act normal". Personally, I just can't bring myself to pretend to be someone I'm not - it just feels strange and wrong somehow because I can too easily see through my own act.  |

i dont care what people think about me.i was buliemic for a while just so i could be with the popular group. then i started usiing drugs so i could fit in with the druggies i could go on but for the sake of saving space ill cut to the chase. while i was doing all that i was never happy. so one day i just freaked out and said forget it its not worth my life just to be a couple rungs higher on the society ladder.i dont care what ppl think about me. theres always going to be ppl who think your nose is big or your hair is too short or you get your clothes from the dollar store. so why go through all the pain of being who you arent and be happy with who you are  |

Highschool is completely stereotypical. I made it a point in highschool to not be categorized. I didn't socialize with the "snobs", because they were exactly that.. snobs. I didn't need any of them in my life. Most of my friends weren't in any kind of "group." Once in a while I see the "popular" people from when I was in highschool, and I still don't find anything that great about them. I never looked down on people who weren't "popular" like they did, and I walked away from highschool feeling good about that. mom-to-be |

I think it's different in every school. That sort of thing, the "preps" segregated from the "freaks", happened to me only in middle school. But now I go to a very diverse school, and it seems that everyone gets along.(I'm one of those "freaks", by the way.) RoTNLoLLi |

When you talk to people from both groups and really listen to them, most of the time you'll find that both are very insecure, and that is why they are so segregated. It's hard to find your identity while you're still in school, and all of that "prep" this and "freak" that nonsense doesn't help either. At least that's the way I see it. RoTNLoLLi |

As I see it, most of the people want friends who are like them, because they want something incommon.If you are not like them they treat you bad and actually don't really understand you. When I was in school I didn't fit in anywhere. People did want to beat me up and tease me for being myself. But, as time went on, people noticed how different I was once they got to know me.They wanted to be friends. |
