Also known as college-preparatory or secondary school
1. A place that prepares you for the real world (ie. if you make it through this place you can make it through anything. See anything.)
2. A place where everyone resents everyone else because because they secretly want to be part of the group they can't be in (the more adult version of "you can't play in my sandbox"..."your sandbox sucks anyway" kid conversation)
3. A prelude to the real best years of your life. See college
4. A place where you find out your place in society:
Preps: Abercrombie kids who hang out at each other's beach bungalow's during the weekends...usually snotty and spoiled...well liked by many faculty
Unholy Holies: Also very well liked by the faculty, except more annoying than the preps because unlike the preps they tend to actually have morals: they head student government, liturgy committee, participate in all types of community service and always get chosen as retreat leaders. They irk people with phrases like "Jesus loves you no matter what" and saying hey buddy to you in the hallway because they feel sorry for you while showing off their yellow Livestrong bracelets.
Potheads: Relaxed, laid back happy idiots. Cool to talk to in the morning when you yourself are brain dead too.
Teachers: This is a whole other spectrum of cliques within itself: you either have the administration brownosers, political zealots, monotone drones, spaced out dingbats, or the ones that teach you life lessons without you realizing it
Counselors: Secret spies for the administration who will try to rat you out to them and make your life even worse than it was before you went to them by "just trying to help". At best, they will just listen to your problems, nod, pat you on the knee and say "our time is up...let me know how it goes"; making a total waste of your time
Gangstas: Listen to hip hop and rap...always seem to have beef with some other member of their clan. Could be at the top of the social chain if they weren't always busy fighting with each other (ie. G is talkin shit bout me...im gon fix that bitch up)
Wiggers: Same as above, except they tend to be wannabes, of the caucasian race, and their only real beef is forgetting who borrowed who's homework
Jocks: Generally jerks or airheads. Laugh at gross out humor. Not all are bullies. Only talk to lower social cliques when they need to borrow a pencil they'll never return.
Nerds: Usually into weird card games and doing well. Formerly faculty favorites until they got replaced by the Unholy Holies. Wear slicked back hair, high pants and glasses.
Over-achievers: sometimes cross with the preps and unholy holies, somewhat smart like the nerds, but have a better ability of blending in...but these tend to be too busy to be involved with anything besides school (or get involved in so many things they break down). These are the ones who take SAT courses in their freshmen year and complain about too much pressure from parents.
Kids in black: Under these are the goths, people who dress in black, the socialists and pretty much anyone who's sick and tired of everyone else usually because they're tired of themselves. Some are genuine rebels; some are just anti-everything assholes
Punks: they skateboard, have their own bands, are basically pretty chill and have their own bands...not too involved in political activism anymore...most of this has been taken over by the emo kids and the kids in black
emo kids: the ones who always quote taking back sunday on their blogs and wear old converses...usually the hipster kids who tend to be vegetarian and of the uber-liberal elite (and the ones who use the word uber); the name emo is very misleading, as their expressions tend to be often serious and boring.

High school is pointless. If you want to make it in the world, you need an entrepreneurial spirit, not a report card.
All of these preppy straight-A kids are going to end up making ~$100,000/annual or less in the real world. They're going to have a $300,000 house with a white picket fence and a Chevy Suburban for their soccer mom wives to drive their intolerable kids to middle school in. They're going to spend the rest of their miserable lives going to work, coming home 9 hours later to their shitbag kids and nagging wife, getting drunk while watching ESPN and doing the same thing the next day.

Both my dad and my uncle fucked around in high school but are very well off from the stock exchange/business/real estate.

A disgusting and parasitic institution that destroys any hopes and dreams you may have. The students are a bunch of fucking assholes who's only goal in life is to get drunk, pick on the "unpopular" kids and experiment with drugs. Whoever tells you that high school was the best four years of their life were either rich, attractive, smart or popular. Once you get into college, you will realise what a joke and complete shit of an institute high school really was and whatever you learned in those shitty and awkward four years won't count for shit in the real world.
high school will suck your blood and soul out of your body in the most painful and brutal way possible

A place where people are called names, beaten up, and are targeted for suspention by assholes called faculty. With the pressures of fitting in yet standing out. Know wonder people resort to drugs and alchohol. (I had to just to get through the day) With the over crowding nobody can learn anything, and get fucked for the future. Now I know why people want to hang themselves or kill everyone in there school.(I did)The goths are the only ones that will ever become leaders because they don't care about popularity or politics. They have not been tainted. The government needs to pull their heads out of there asses, and clean the cum out of there ears, and accualy listen to the problems and fix them. I belive it could save lives and maybe we could accualy get some future leaders.

A place where (in theory, for all of you super seniors) you are supposed to spend 4 years of your life and get a nice education, whether it be in academics, social, etc.
considering the 15 pages of people giving cliche definitions of "prep" and "goth" i just felt the need to say i have either missed a memo or went to a high school that wasn't actually based off of a cheesy high school movie. yeah, kids dressed into some of those categories at my old high school but there were no designated places where different stereotypes ate, and as for cliques, lottss of kids were into multiple "groups".
i dunno, maybe i went to a fairy tale high school? i just don't understand what all of the bitching was about. and drama? if you don't hang around people who are into drama...your life WON'T actually be like a wannabe episode of laguna beach, surprise surprise.

Immature High schooler: Look at the nerd in the khakis and button up shirt and glasses. Bet he's a virgin.
Person who happens to be friends with both him and the immature high schooler: Actually he's cool, we went to a Lamb of God concert last week then he helped me fix my Ipod
Shall I resort to over-used phrases?
Don't judge a book by its cover, things are never as they seem, it's always darkest before the dawn (that one refers to highschool in general, in case you are having a shitty time)

1. A place that supposedly teaches you and prepares you for adulthood.
2. Absolute hell
3. Where all of your confidence, self worth and self esteem go straight down the toilet.

High Schooler - Dude why don't they teaches us necessary things in high school like how to get a credit card and how to pay your taxes and all that shit? Instead they ask us 'where is x'
High Schooler 2 - I dunno dude. What a shithole.
