Why the fuck are American high schools so fucking weird when it comes to ranks and popularity?
The most popular guy is quarterbeack for the football team and the most popular girl is head cheerleader.
They also have prom king and prom queen to show the most popular guy and most popular girl at the school.
Do others countries also have this high school culture or is it just the US?
my high school didn't really have popularity ranking that much, a little bit
everyone had friends cause there was a big population at my school
and if you didn't have any friends at all, or were a pussy nerd then you'd get bullied and you were less than normal
but most people were fine
other counties have it too
>not picture: high school attendants
>it's a trope of teen movies, therefore it's fact.
This
Almost everything in life is about status.
We just cut the bullshit and don't pretend it isn't.
>The most popular guy is quarterbeack for the football team and the most popular girl is head cheerleader.
You've been watching waaaay too much US media.
Not even a lie, It might not be every high school in America but it's very common.
Most popular guy is quarterback and most popular girl head cheerleader.
most popular guys are the homecoming crew that throw drunken house parties for the hot chicks and waltz into school at random because le homecoming
most popular girls are just the hottest ones unless they're super alt, sometimes they do cheerleading
>Most popular guy is quarterback and most popular girl head cheerleader
lol no
1. this is a major university, not a high school
2. this is not true and you're literally basing your view of american schools off of disney channel shows for 11 year olds
Depends on how good the football team is. At my school gangs ran shit and the sports teams were mediocre, so while they were popular among the sports people, they weren't shit in the grand scheme of things. Most people didn't even know who the cheerleaders were.
The trope/cliche of clics and the football player Chad and stuff doesn't happen in high schools in the city, it's more of a country/rural thing and it's real
No
The city one is that it's too crowded to fucking care
The rural one is the drug dealer is the most popular one
This. Why are Croatians the only smart Europeans?
my school didn't have that no one have a shit about our football team and the cheerleaders where trash but i went to a ghetto school so I don't know about the suburban ones
Nah, I think it all depends on how good the teams are in the city/state. Otherwise, school pride is definitely smaller in urban areas yea.
>niggers don't use this sit-
You're basing this all off fictional american media. Did you go to high school in the US?
I went to a few high schools with over 3,500 students. 90% of people you saw there every day you wouldn't recognize as ever seeing before. Everyone just hung out with their own group of friends. The football players hung out with each other but were generally pretty friendly and open to everyone.
>white people don't live in the city
Also, it was a hispanic school.
We don't even have a high school. We study 11 years in the same building with the same people.
My highschool wasn't anything like that. Don't believe everything you see on TV.
Based af
someone that is athletic and attractive/sociable is bound to get the most attention. usually his name will be in the local papers and girls will want to fuck him. makes perfect sense to me.
literally my school whenever we had a substitute, sometimes they were super mean tho, some of them had no idea what they were up against and handled it the wrong way :/
There pretty much was no popularity hiercharchy in my highschool. Each grade up that shit just mattered less and less. Fuckin Elementary school had the most of that popularity bullshit but mostly just because there wasn't many kids so everyone knew each other pretty well, and then in middle school there was a lot more people so the old hierarchy began to crumble, and then in highschool there was just so many different kinds of people from different schools around the area everyone just stuck to their own group and didn't care about anyone else. No one gave a shit about the football fags or the hockey fags. And we didn't have retarded shit like "Prom king and queen".
Highschool in moves or on TV is so retardedly inaccurate
Half of those photos aren't from school. They're from what you would call "a college" and what we call "a specialised professional school". The place people study at if they decided to leave the school after 9 years.
>Highschool in moves or on TV is so retardedly inaccurate
Depends, in the highschools around the suburbs of the GTA for instance you don't see it. If you go to high school in "the country" though like Peterborough you see it all, it's like a shitty teen drama TV show.
t. I've experienced both back when I was in high school
What a retarded thread. If I walk into a British telephone booth will I be able to travel through time?
My town only has 7,000 people but since highschool was made up also of tons of students from smaller school from several neighbouring towns it kinda fucked everything up.
Like probably a good 40% of my highschool was "out of town" kids.
I'm not gonna blame him for believing stereotypes but him saying "Not even a lie, It might not be every high school in America but it's very common. Most popular guy is quarterback and most popular girl head cheerleader." as a non-American is hilarious.
I mean it's basically true unless you go to a giant school where you don't even know half the people in your class on a first named basis. jocks = get in papers = more people know your name. it helps too if you're rich and your parents bought you a car and let you throw house parties.
do american bullies really shove kids into lockers?
>i mean it's basically true unless it's not true
america is a big place, sometimes i have to remind americans of that too
They really do have lockers?
More likely to get shoved into a trash can desu.
Some do, I've personally never seen a school with lockers though.
it was more common to lock your best m8s in lockers than a random bully doing it
probably only americans. The only popularity contest we had in high school was electing the "5 member council" of each classroom and the 15 member council of the whole school.
"They shoved me into the trash can and laughed...I shoved them 6 feet under and laughed"
I used my locker once in 4 years and that was on the first day of school.
No, lockers are way too small nowadays.
>let me tell you about your country
Eat a dick Mahmoud
Out entire culture is very hierarchical and high schools are an exaggerated microcosm of the wider world.
Canadians are the worst about this
Very true
>Out entire culture is very hierarchical
Even more so here down South.
Exactly. More rural areas, more conservative ones, have high schools more oriented around a few elite, sportsy students. You lose this in more urban areas, though urban schools tend to be shit. Southern schools are the most like TV.
Me and a few buddies of mine used a locker nobody was using to grow a biome with leftover food from lunch
That section of the hall smelled like shit the whole year
You too.
But my view has mostly come from some of my American friends, they are not even joking when they say that being a cheerleader or on the football team is huge in American schools.
same
In one locker we put a McD cheeseburger in the first day of school in August and took it out the last day in June. The scary part was it wasn't molded at all and looked the exact same but it was 2x smaller.
My high school was in that transition zone between the "country" and the city, so we had levels of popularity. Fortunately, I played baseball and was in the student council my senior year. Therefore I was not really popular, but well known. I did have friends in the so-called outsiders, 2bh they were the most fun to be around.
Lol
>americans
>not following tropes
How else would school shooters know who to shoot first? Take a straw-poll before starting the shooting?
what the hell where do you live
america
is
beeg
at least stereotype by region, but even then big difference between rural, suburb, and city
I'm not sure if you realize this, but TV shows and real life are two different things.
100 miles north of Houston
I didn't think that I would see school classrooms and environments similar to ours in a different place.
I love how in this boring world Russia keeps its misteryous soul and personality.
these must be the russian hackers we hear so much about
No.
I live in Texas too. Lockers in middle and high school but literally never used. They needed to zip tie them closed to prevent people from fucking with them
lol, both the guy and the girl are sub-8 subhumans. if it weren't for the fact that the guy on the pic was 6'2 or something along the lines of that, he'd be a subhuman incel posting on Sup Forums.
We never had any sort of clique system or anything related to popularity. There was just a number of social circles that all bled into each other.
I went to a small public country school in the middle of nowhere only about 500 total students. We didn't have a football team and it was really comfy because literally everyone knew everybody.
I don't think popularity was that big of a thing because like I said only so many people went there and wasn't big enough to create huge social divisions. Everyone was practically friends or seen as social equals
You watch too many movies.
Stop believing dumb bullshit.
is that her
california, arizona, and arkansas
I know americans are fat but dizamm
My sister was prom queen. Now she's an autistic journalist who spends most of her time staying inside, playing mmo's and talking to her cat about how great the newest Star Wars movies are
The prom king was gay.
I had fun at my prom though.
Stop watching TV, swedfag.
