I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight toker

In my High School there were lots of different groups, just like in every other high school, and I was mainly part of two: the band geeks and the art freaks. I played tennis for three years, but was never considered a jock because I did not fit in and I did not plan my life around it. I think I was labeled an art freak or a band geek because I spent all my time either in the band room or the art room, and did not hang out in the common areas. As with every group, which is discussed in part of the reading, there is a place that everyone meets and talks before class, and my spot was in from of the art room and the dark room. We were all art freaks, but most of us fell into other categories also: one of my best friend was a jock and the other was a band geek, but we all had art in common.

There were the quiet kids, who kind of hung out together, but kind of in silence, the art freaks, the band geeks, the jocks, the gothic and emo kids who hung out together and wrote their own bad music, the pot smokers who always went off school campus for lunch right behind the school, and there was always a group of senior girls that you would always hear stories about on monday mornings that were called the hussies.

I have listed some of the groups above, however I think that no one really belonged to one group, but they hung out with their friends and followed them. I would say that 80 percent of my friends in high school smoked pot, and I hung out with them at our spot, but I was not a burn out, and I really did not care if I was classified as one because I fit in the the people and their interests.

I do not know how to explain how each different groups spoke with different slang and what not, however I can try to explain how they interacted with each other. I feel like the band kids were cheesy with their high fives and slaps on the back, kind of geeky like, but it was their form of affection, compared to jocks hitting each other on the butt, and are sometimes louder. I am trying to to stereotype these groups, but we have all lived through high school and know how different people act, and that is one reason why groups are made because they have their hobbies and personalities in common.
