A person who is in their second year of high school or college. Most of the time, this term refers to the high school sophomores. It's the most important year academically, even more-so than freshman year. Most sophomores have matured a bit since freshman year. Many of them of generally good people. However, there are idiots that think they are the best thing since sliced bread because of the fact that they are sophomores. They buy into this idea and start picking on freshman. There are also people that haven't matured one bit since freshman year and still act as retarded, sex-obsessed, and jock-like as ever. Some sophomores actually get along with freshman. Seniors and juniors don't really care much about sophomores. There are a few who are actually friends with sophomores, however.
Sophomore 1: Hey, it's a freshman, let's go beat up his ass.
Sophomore 2: You can go right ahead. I'm staying right here.
*Sophomore 1 goes to a freshman and holds him up. A dean sees this and brings him to his office.*

The disease many Sophomores in high school are stricken with. Usually occurs once an individual has become accustomed to the routine of high school. Symptoms include laziness, the gradual discontinuation of homework being completed, elevated sociability, and a desire to partake in the use of drugs.
Shirley was a straight-A student last year, but she's not doing so well academically this year. I think she has a case of Sophomoritis.

A sophomore is a student in their second year of high school or college. They are usually considered the useless class:
-the freshmen being the.. well, freshmen,
-the juniors are pressured from sats and realizing this is their last shot to fix their shitty gpa,
-and the seniors roaming the halls and doing absolutly nothing waiting to graduate, leaving the sophomores at a standstill doing the better part of nothing.

Really the laid back year in high school and kids are the nicest. Classic teenagers. The only thing you really need to worry about sophomore year is getting a learners permit and maybe have an idea where you want to go to colllege, but the rest is a pretty easy ride. But you get pounded with a lot of homework that year and your classes are gritty. This is usually the year to read Shakespeare and you usually take an American History and Biology/Chemistry class that year. You may take world too in some schools.
These kids are usually head up your ass teenegers. A lot of dating, teen pregancies, anorexia, etc. The worry of fitting in is not as bad as 9th so you turn into slobs watching Family Guy. This is the age when you like to go old school and start liking classic rock. The teenage classic rock/indie heads are usually sophomores, but you get corporate by junior year.

A disease that affects a wide number of sophomores. Most common causes include their first Honors and AP classes, often including AP Biology and/or AP World History. Symptoms include increased complaining about arbitrary things like B's in English Honors, sleeping at 2 AM, poorer study habits, and increased social awareness--including the fact they "may be single for the rest of their life." It is not life-threatening and pales in comparison to Senioritis; however, people experiencing sophomoritis may be prone to extreme mood swings and bitchiness. Sophomoritis is often the precursor to the more serious Junioritis.
Sophomore: Dude. I have a C+ in AP World History right now. I think I'm going to get a 3.5.
Senior: Calm down. Sophomoritis is nothing; I'm literally failing all my classes and I might get rescinded from college.

Someone who thinks they are so much better than freshman just because they are 7 months older. They're the reason why freshman have bullying problems. They represent absolutely no authority at all and when asked why they hate freshman they give the stupidest answer, like, "They're annoying"
Freshman graduating: We're not freshman anymore! Yes! Now we can make fun of all the little freshman in 3 months!
Sophomore graduating (By this point they understand): Why?
Freshman graduating: Because they are freshman! Duh!
