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!

A person who has survived the worst year of high school freshmen year and now moved up in ranks. sophomores are usually more intelligent and mature than their freshmen peers they also have more confidence and are more adjusted to their school positions. They also get another level of work from their teachers and if not popular or well-known would usually stay out of the way of Juniors and Seniors unless they are directly provoked or picked on. Sophomores know the routine and unless they are new students or antisocial will remain calm and try to be 'cool' they are also more bigger and tougher than freshmen and can get away with a lot more, Their higher maturity from lower grades possibly explain why they dislike or outright hate freshmen so much. But to Seniors they are just big freshmen.

The armpit of high school. Literally the least important year of your academic career because no one actually gives a shit. No one remembers sophomore year and nothing happens.

The forgotten year of high school. The freshmen are busy being freshmen: preppy girls freaking out about every grade they get, others just being generally immature. The juniors are busy with homework, and trying to get better grades so they can go to college. The seniors are busy partying and generally having a good time. No one really cares about the sophomores. In conversations with adults, when you tell them that you are a sophomore, they have nothing to say to you. It's not "a big change from middle school", you havent started thinking about colleges, and you havent applied to colleges. And thats all adults care about. Contributing to the suckyness is the fact that you have 2 more years after this one, and for a year the only thing you are looking foreward to is getting your license, which you feel you are thisclose to getting for the entire year.
Adult: What grade are you in?
Freshman: I'm a freshman.
Adult: Do you like high school? Is it very different from junior high school? Are you getting good grades?
Adult: What grade are you in?
Junior: I'm a junior.
Adult: What's your GPA? Have you started thinking about colleges? Are you bringing your grades up so you can get into college?
Adult: What grade are you in?
Senior: I'm a senior.
Adult: What colleges did you apply to? What do you want to major in?
Adult: What grade are you in?
Sophomore: I'm a sophomore.
Adult: Oh. (has nothing else to say)
Kid: What grade are you in?
Sophomore: I'm a sophomore.
Kid: Oh, that sucks for you.
Freshman: I'm a freshman.
Adult: Do you like high school? Is it very different from junior high school? Are you getting good grades?
