preps!

I think we scared her away with our rugged honesty, and being dicks.

High school is a crappy time, because teenagers do not know who they really are. They lack self-confidence. So they do whatever they can, to create an identity. They all want to be popular. So someone who is "prep", is just trying to fit in. Just look at them as people who have bought into the idea that it is "cool" to have money, and to wear the right clothes, etc... But it's just insecurity. The more they group together, and act cool, the more they believe it. But it's not true. They are just as insecure as anyone else. They just follow the pack mentality. The same thing happens with Goths, and other subcultures. They all like to think they are cool, because they are into something. Because they all wear the same thing, or because they fit in, or because they don't. It's all just insecurity, and survival of the fittest. Cling together if you must, but realize it's all an illusion. Just a bunch of insecure people, trying to be popular...

Have pity on them, and try to rise above it all. Be yourself...

heh so true deathknight... i see so many people struggling to fit in and not be themselves... i tried that once... ONCE... and absolutely hated it.
so i went back to being the weird girl

[Rockwulf]

a bunch of people clinging together... kinda like this message board? argh!
just kidding. I think we scared her away with our rugged honesty, and being dicks.

Yeah, I'm good at that.

[Evilbink]

Which part? the being clingy, or the being a dick part? It's so hard to tell with you.

[KilLAtomiK]

i happen to like whearing Khakis i dont care what people say and i also like watching sports on TV and drinking beer (sorry guys im not as cool as i led you to beleive) does that make me a prep? if it does well then god damnit im a prep but that dosent make me a jerk who judges people on how they dress or what they look like

[TheDeathKnight]

Exactly...

[Rockwulf]

Which part? the being clingy, or the being a dick part? It's so hard to tell with you.

Both, I multi-task...

[Mr Karl]

I thought preps were just a myth

[mmmcherry]

hah no no, they exist... ive got a couple as friends... i dont really classify them as anything like that, but im sure other people would call them preppy... i dont care tho theyre sweethearts... i always made friends with the people that i liked, and that liked me back... if someone doesnt want to be my friend for whatever stupid reason, then fuck em. but ill be anyones friend no matter what they dress like, as long as they have a cool personality

Just because we've got chiseled good looks, great hair and perfect bodies, doesn't mean that we too cannot be killed in a freak gasoline fight accident.

[Phoenix Blue]

One of the lessons of history is that Nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say.

[mmmcherry]

and be careful when youre having a gasoline fight and want a smoke.

I'm a teenager and myself. I'm one of the lucky ones that reliazes popularity now will be irrelavent to my future, it's a waste of my time.

[TheDeathKnight]

That was totally my attitude in high school.

I knew that it was all bullshit, and I could not wait to get
away from those idiots.

It's one thing to bump into idiots in the real world,
but it really sucks when you are forced to deal with
them all day long, like in school... And yes, some
workplaces suck too, but you can always quit
and go work someplace else if it sucks...

At least with work, you can find a place where you
can fit in. Like working at a tattoo parlor, etc...
There are at least some workplaces in the world
where you don't have to worry about being trendy
or fitting in... You have to work hard to find them
sometimes, but they are out there. Sometimes
even very normal jobs have people there who
are pretty cool, and you can just be yourself.

[Mr Karl]

[mike pullen]
