Uh...

I can honestly say that I didn't go to a school with geeks, jocks, goths and preps and thank god-vishnu-allah. I went to an all girl catholic school that was less than half a mile away from Roberto Clemente. The teachers sucked but the two or three that didn't were awesome and when it came down to groups these kinds of things didn't exist. Seriously, it was normal we eventually made groups of friends but the groups weren't determined by how well we played basketball. We all just mingled, it felt like a family and like any family there were always people you wished you weren't related to but when it came down to it we joined forces and rocked the boat as much as we could. Considering that we wore uniforms there wasn't much going on about cloths, when it came to language there wasn't much of difference either because we all came from similar neighborhoods that is when we were speaking English. Ethnically the school was primarily Latina's and African Americans and yes we all mingled so the only time language became an issue was when we'd talk to eachother in Spanish. It didn't matter if we were sitting at a lunch table talking in Spanish about our weekends you could always count on someone starting something because of it, 'OH, you're only talking Spanish to talk crap.' 'You shouldn't be talking Spanish because that's rude, OH this is America and this school talks English.' We never talked in Spanish in our groups because our groups were mixed and that would be rude. We talked Spanish if two of us were eating lunch or waiting for our rides after school but it was always a problem with every body else regardless of the fact that we were doing it respectfully.

That was the only division I saw and I was always one to fight back. Assuming that two people are talking French I'm not going to walk up to them and say 'Hey, you have no right speak your that language because I don't understand it.' That's a load of BS, what does it matter to me when two people are having a conversation among themselves? If I was in a group and they started talking French and laughing and pointing that'd be different. But outside of that there were really didn't have cliques of geeks and jocks. Not that we didn't have nerds and all that stuff we did but we all just kind of hung out. Besides these kinds of definitions wouldn't of worked for us, first of all I was(am) a nerd but I was(am) the person that always told teachers off when they were being ignorant. I had PLENTY of ignorant teachers which lead to plenty of arguments which lead to me being sent to the Deans office which lead to detentions that I never served because the Dean loved me. The Dean also happened to be one of the teachers that didn't suck so she sympathized with my outburst of stupidity fighting. The point is, troublemaking nerd doesn't kind of fit in stereotyped cliques. Neither does nerdy jock or computer geek prep and there were people that could definitely be defined as such. In the end it was a small school and it seemed kind of stupid to divide ourselves that way.
