21 jump street was fairly accurate

Not really, there are typically cliques of course, but not as the ones stereotyped in flicks.

If you go to wealthy one in a nice community then yes

they rike public sex, I learned

> born in USA
> play American football
> fuck girls

What a easy life
I wish I was born in USA

I went to an upper-middle class majority white high school so it might be different elsewhere but the division between cliques wasn't nearly as bad as movies would make you think.

but they don't eat a da fry rice

Before Sup Forums this is was my image of America.

After Sup Forums Freedom Writers are more accurate.

No.

If I went to an american high school I would've been the fag dork whom everyone liked but nobody really understood. I would've fallen in love with the most popular kid who later would've beaten me bloody when I admitted my feelings for him which would have caused me irreparable psychological damage, resulting in my suicide or a mass shooting.

I think it's for the best I didn't go there.

So what happened in your Hungarian high school instead?

Hungary seems like a really unhappy place.

Yes, but the parties are certainly less intense.

Possibly the most socially and academically damaging periods in any american's life. The only upside is that the nerds actually do beat out the jocks afterwards.

You understand us perfectly

10/10

me and my highschool girlfriend would just make out and fuck all the time everywhere around the school

is that movie like?

as produced by Brazzers, yeah

kek she made other girls eat my cum without knowing too, that was fun.

no its much more diverse then hollywoold would like you to believe

Fuck is wrong with you people?

Australia, shitposting even IRL

she thought it was hot it turned her on and i didn't care

The same except I didn't got beaten up for admitting my feelings, so I got out relatively sane from the whole ordeal. I was moderately popular in high school because I was humorous, highly inquisitive and intelligent - if somewhat socially inept due to my ADHD, though not spaghetti levels of awkward.
Most people were willing to overlook my eccentricities for a good talk. I could pretty much walk up to any clique and have a great time with them. I was mostly "neutral". But it sucked too,because ultimately I was always an outsider who never belonged to any group.

What would you have liked to be in adolescence if we'd get to decide? I like this:

The nickname "Doc". Hair combed neatly but semicool style. Dress shirt casually direct outdoor trousers. Would sit on skateboard ramp and create impression that I'm a good skate but I'm too tired, comments like "Good Ripe, almost able to 360, way to go!".

McDonalds I'd order but black coffee strong, and I would follow the discussion. Between going to smash between a good comment, and others that would "Hmm! We did not understood before the tota!".

Chicks should me a personal, a little mysterious.

No

that's Bella Thorne

hey man if your girl likes to do weird stuff let her do it

5/5 murican dream

There are cliques (guys who play on same sports team, people into the same music) but not as rigid as in the movies, also there are fights but kids don't beat up other kids just because they are nerds or wear glasses, people just ignore them usually.

I see what you did there

>Americucks

The average American Sup Forums poster is only familiar with the dorks and other outcasts.

Depends which films you're referring to, and which high school.

Mean Girls, Scream, The Breakfast Club, and Clueless? No. The level of social organization is much less complex and not taken very seriously

Dazed and Confused, The Last Picture Show, Election? More accurate, but still a bit of a fantasy.

There is usually an upper crust of about 15-30% of the student body which earns good grades and takes advanced classes while also maintaining a social life and participating in extracurriculars like sports. You could call them jocks or "the popular kids," but they're not really, they're just active students, usually middle class, who are being primed for university.

There is also usually semi-distinct cliques like the stoners, the theater kids, the band kids, 2nd generation of immigrants and various minority ethnic groups, but outside of Koreans, most intermix constantly. I'd say this is about 60% of the student body

The bottom 10%, the nerds in the Hollywood movies, would be those who suffer from a deep socially incompetence in some form or another. They might be great students who suffer from autism, but most I would say are neckbeards, physically disabled, mediocre losers, and literal retards

This is just based on my experience at a decent public high school in the suburbs. Ask Travyon from the inner city or Cletus from rural Texas and you might get a different answer

Eric and Dylan are kinda worshipped on 4ch

I'd say Election captured it very well, at least for a typical middle-class school in the Midwest. I liked how the jock was basically a good guy whereas a lot of the outcasts and losers were actually the mean, angry people, because that's often how it is irl.

>>Slags walk past drinking bottles of wkd at 2pm on a tuesday
>>I will always be a Britbong

nothing wrong with that

It depends.

Mine had cliques but there was no clique wars. Everyone was actually really cool to everyone, except for that kid who went nuts and killed his mother then himself.

That was crazy senpai

but we a do eatada frii ri

What is wkd? All the slags and chavs I have encountered seem to have a natural addiction to Stella Artois

Actually no, we probably wouldn't have beaten u desu.
Social justice is very strong in this country and in high schools.

I think its a bit more tough than its potrayed in films desu

alcopop vodka shit

What a dirtbag

Speak for yourself. He would've gotten beat in the school i went to

Guess I went to a non-shit school.

That's how it was in the Chicago suburbs

No middle class to upper class school in a suburb

I would have just beaten the shit out of you

Pffff we would have kissed that faggots cheek bones haha

Fucking fags

Exactly the same as I was, but I would have asked out this one girl when i had the chance

So you were a living Funland copypasta?

Ayy Downers South class of 2013 reporting in

I was the one stoner who was actually kind of smart (most of them/us were not that stupid, but I was good at science).
I was very tall and lankey, but not comicly so, had long ash-blonde hair, wore a green or red plaid shirt over a band T-shirt almost every day and spent a lot of time poorly playing an electric guitar.
I hung out with a clique of somewhat nerdy stoners and/or the punk-ish skater kids and the cute, but not that popular foreign girl was in to me.

No. I went to a high school which was 60% black.

All the white girls got blacked.
Everyone was ghetto
There were metal detectors just to get in.

Does pE still have open showers?

good lad

>There were metal detectors just to get in.

Not sure if you're memeing

No it's fun if your not a socially retarded otherwise it's pretty boring. You miss out on alot and end up spending alot of time at home

Care to elaborate?

a few times after doing it she drizzled a bit of my cum onto her ice cream and let girls have a lick and a few times after sucking me off she made out with a girl with my cum still there

>school caste

high schools in the US are totally bullshit

>All the white girls got blacked.

How can whitebois compete Sup Forums?

I had a whole big thing written out to a Canadian who asked "Is there more to life than money, sex and drugs?" but his thread got deleted. This pic is of two young attractive people so my point will translate here.

Yes, there is, and I'll have you know, all memes aside, that in the big picture, I really do have a conventional godless/nihilistic outlook on things. But that doesn't prevent me from finding certain pleasures in life, or from answering the question in the affirmative.

For adults past 30 and throughout middle age, the main thing is what psychologist Erik Eriksson called "generativity", a view that I happen to agree with now that I'm a little older. In order for most well-adjusted humans to be happy, or to have a deep sense of fulfillment during this period of life, they have to be "building a future for themselves" in some way shape manner or form, cultivating a relationship now that you don't look like the people in OP anymore (if you ever did), or "helping the next generation". The most obvious thing here is to have kids of one's own, but there are other ways of approximating this generativity.

I would simply add to this that of course in the long view it really is all for nothing and you just rot afterwards. :^) But you're a human being with certain drives, (self preservation among them, even to the point of being old and wrinkly and looking nothing like OP's people any more) and so it makes sense to plan for enjoying the old-wrinkly time as best you can. Notice that I haven't abandoned nor even really questioned the hedonic assumption: you want to maximize pleasure in some utilitarian fashion at every stage of life. OP's question was not "should I kill myself at 30 since there's no point anymore?" OP's question was "is there more to life (ie othere reasons to life, derive pleasure) than money/sex/drugs", to which the answer is of course yes.

>high school in my country
>no cliques
>you were either a normalfag, semi-normalfag or an outcast
>the outcasts didn't band together to form their own cliques due to being too fucked in the head one way or another
>tfw outcast
I wish I had some weirdo clique to join but instead I sat alone during all my lunchbreaks.

10/10

>no weird clique
But those are the best

That's why I wanted one. Maybe I would have been less lonely in school then.

Pic made me cry

I always played 3rd string. And no girls really hit on me. Pic related that's me playing a game

sounds like on of those gay guys i used to beat up lol

They never beat me up, they mostly just said mean things and looked at me with that condescending/disgusted look normalfags always gave me when I did something weird. At least I had my DS.

>faggy helmet
>why don't girls hit on me

Hell i was such an outcast, i slept for 4 hours (each class takes an hour to finish) and nobody bothered waking me up

kanker rova ik haat jou serieus zo kankererg vieze tering flikker

Bad things only happened after I tried making friends with people. They left me alone after a few years though.

If i went to american HS i would be the most aplha kid in there

>vredelievende jongen

Inner city American Highschool was kind of fun. We BTFO some local startup and got nationally recognized for it.

I did nothing in my hs, nothing at all.

I wasted 3 good years living on clouds

Americans are ultranationalist military worshippers, but they somehow manage to get away with it.

No its not, I speak as someone from poor country and I earnd a scholarship in USA but I was like fuck it, I cant do that its big distance and diferent culture and in general I never gived a fuck cuz I had a nice life.
Honestly it was big mistake, I was idiot.
>I got like 10 friends in there
USA is nice country but many things are false and unreal.
Reality is that many people in there work a LOT, like 12h/day and have average life, too much stress and workd overall is going to fuck you up.
Thats USA.
On the other hand, all of my friend have bigger incomes and stability, thats not a small thing.
From my 20s to 25 I dreamed about coming to USA, besides the fact that I could move to Germany or Austria and have similar incomes.
Many thing got me dispaointed for "worlds best country" and its more a meme that is produced by their goverment to feed people out there that they live better and there is nothing more to improve in life cuz "we are best, we are USA".
Its BS but all those movies and USA cultur got me literaly horny thinking about USA from 50s to 90s.
After that its same shit as EU, capitalistic enviorment, no fun, no rest, big preasure, people are not friendly etc...
But that American Dream is something that was giving us a hope that world could be nice and it was in short period of 30years in USA.
You got to work you way in life user, life is cruel and life is beautifull, you have to achieve the seccond one by yourself.
Its more like thise seriously, I am not into Rihanna but its true somehow

You guys don't appreciate your armed forces?

>working hard and being rewarded for it

Work your way up, don't be a hoe about it.

Ohh then it's cool

Holy fuck this post.

No one has the level of crazy soldier worship that America has. For most countries the military is basically just a repository for kids that didn't inherit anything and didn't attend university.
The exception usually being WWII veterans, everybody worships them.

t. Canadian sitting too close to the border and getting an American flag

Stressful and angsty. People's parents thought I had aspergers.

Here's the actual one and it's still me playing
