Diversity

I went to a school in a very rich neighborhood, Lincoln Park. This high school was know for their art/drama program and the diversity. The main group that amused me when I was there were the goth wannabes. They tried very hard to not look typical-to be different, tried being exclusive with their headphones turned up way too loud in art class not talking to anyone, dyed their hair extreme colors and let it fade without keeping up with it (even though it was old news and not "cool" anymore-to me anyway) ...and of course all their friends had to dress the same. I believe their favorite store was Hot Topic-ha. 

Then there were the tough/'gangsta' kids who hung out with each other. They loved starting fights and robbing whoever was weaker than them. They were pretty popular; but were shady for the most part. Shady as in they WILL fuck with you.

The skaters pretty much got along with everyone. We had a huge stage and hill where everyone hung out in our mall outside of the school- pretty nice campus. The skaters/writers would skate, play some hackie sack, maybe some graffiti, ...smoke with anyone..not much secluding so that was nice. 

Everyone had their own style, clicks, and interests and were separated in that way but they didnt mind the diversity. It was hard to not get along or become friends/acquaintances with people especially because we were all coming across each other all the time.
