Hang on. Back up.
I think we need to distinguish between the "popular kids" and the "poser kids" (who ran with the popular kids).
In my experience, the "popular kids" were the Type-A personalities who were football captains, student presidents, valedictorians, etc. Natural leaders. They went on to be doctors, lawyers, professional athletes and politicians.
The "poser kids" were the hangers-on. Some of 'em made it, some of 'em didn't.
LOL Times have changed. It's reverse now.
The guys on the football team are the normal kids and its considered uncool. Those Type A a-holes are on the soccer team. It was more pronounced at my first school because it was split racially and was completely bizarre. No black kids on the soccer team in 75% black majority school. While the football team was completely the opposite. Myself and 2 others were the only 'white guys'.
The Natural leaders are A-type neo-cons who berate women and worship fascism. The school president was a self proclaimed fascist. Lovely bloke...Everyone hated him and he makes fun of people who died in car accidents... he was a poser.
The 'in crowd' is apolitical that lean conservativebecause they vote what daddy tells them to do, they've completely gone materialistic. So the outkasts really run the show if you will. The popular girls don't do cheer leading, popular girls don't do much of anything.
The Brainiacs are part of the outkasts now. Then if you went to a religious school you have the holy rollers and the everybody else.
So everything is reverse now.
Outkasts are the majority. Except the hanger ons or wannabes get elected because they're deemed safe by the administrators and 'in crowd'. Mr. Fascist boy ran sexist stuff in the newspaper, ran the school developed a fascist club. Obviously I was on his 'hit list' the guy hated me he created the fascist club in his words "To piss SD off ", but I must say he was a complete idiot in civics class, anti-semetic, anti-immigrant, wanted to nuke everyone that type... Just another blowhard that people followed publicly because they were scared of him and his ilk but not privately he was the most hated person in the school and quite possiblely the world. I mean he made fun of a classmate who died in a car accident because in his words 'he deserved it'. He ran on a campaign of silencing women and 'putting them in their place'. The girls hated him obviously, but the guys loved him.
Clarify:
'In Crowd': Captain of the football team but they'd get hated on by everyone on the soccer team, the basketball team. The 'in crowd girls' don't do much they might play softball or volleyball. They're materialistic. The focus of the 'in crowd': sex, sex, drugs, getting drunk, smoking, more drugs, partying. That's all they did, but they also would get good grades like a 30 on the ACT. Then they'd party themselves out of university. Spent most of the school day talking about who they f-d the night before and there drunkeness. Most are now either not in school or in community college just taking courses living off their parents. Most have a record of some kind. All the girls loved the drug dealer. The majority of the girls in this group have already had kids. These folks lives end after High School. They don't really have any plans.
'Posers'. Outkasts who masquerade as the 'in crowd'. Can be anyone from school president to the idiot who wants to be accepted. None of these people were actually smart or anything. Hated by all the groups. These folks eventually get 'eaten' socially. They become the suck ups as adults.
Outkasts:
Smarts: These are your top of the class people, the ones that become doctors etc. Hated by the 'in crowd' in league friends and buddies with the rebels.
: Anti-In Crowd, usually a mix of lower to middle income people who were the 'police' of the school. In crowd boys would pick fights with us only to get their ass handed to them. We ridiculed the 'posers' for being fakes. Usually the rebels are split between class lower and middle with the middle having a couple super rich people who weren't cool enough to be in the 'in crowd'.
Lower class rebels are the ones who mostly have kids now, they were seen as the varmint of the school, you know the future mechanics etc. They were 'southern' sometimes wore confederate stuff, heavy smokers. Self proclaimed rednecks. The girls in this group have had kids for the most part. And some of the guys are already fathers.
Dating wise, they dated each other.
Middle class is made up of the smarts, the class clowns, the politico disrupter's with some holy rollers and the group was multi-cultural and looked like a UN meeting at the lunch table. I was a leader in this group (although I was political oriented and didn't see myself as a leader per say until people would tell me so, then I'd become baffled at such a notion. The other leader was a joker and we had battles over control, it was quite epic) we'd attack anything that was associated with 'in crowd'. For example we would sabotage the 'in crowds' parties by calling the cops on them. Stuff like that. The Smarts were attracted to us and we would date each other, eventually, just not in high school. Middle class guys become the guys girls want to date in college, but for some reason in High School they're not 'cool' enough or something. I never understood why, but for the most part the Smarts if they were dating were dating College age kids who were exactly like us, just a year or two older. lol
Wow! A lot of writing nobody at DS would read!
