My school didn't have big lockers. The lockers were square shape and could only fit your books/folders/whatever but not your backpack.

Layout is pretty accurate, though you've got to keep in mind when the movie was released- they use real schools to film in.

Everyone's shorter and uglier, and the jock-cheerleader-nerd cliques have sort of diluted into little subcultures now.

Most schools are actually pretty chill, except for inner-city ones.

I went to a small private school. I was the only gay guy in my grade so it was miserable but the education quality was high. Sucked having few friends, except the nerds, and in hs i got a few friends outside my grade but senior year they had all graduated and it sucked again so i got into drugs.
>>
>>28975960
It's somewhat accurate. There are a bunch of different groups/cliques, but jocks/cheerleaders don't rule the school. No one respects them or even talks to them. They party(drinking drugs sex etc) so much and so openly that no one cares about them anymore

>>28976110
They do that because it portrays teens the way they like to think of themselves, as mature and sophisticated. Most real teenagers just look awkward and goofy

some american schools are fucking huge. there are like 5000 students in a school and the campus is as big as some community colleges.

its pretty shitty ive heard.

I won't say HS isn't a really special and unique time here, and that SOME of what you see in the media is true, but it's mostly overblown.

The real magic of the American HS experience comes from the fact that you're all budding young adults in such steamy and exciting proximity to each other, in an environment that's so glorified and unique, you can't help but feel you're a part of something big or grand. Because think about it: This is probably the only time in your life when you'll be that close with that many people, all participating in the same experiences, both academically and socially. It's a carefree time usually, as our hs academics are anything but challenging. They place a heavy emphasis on culture and extracurricular activities. Everyone finds their niche, everyone makes choices at a tender time in their life when the choices don't matter too much.

It's beautiful. I was never a part of the in crowd. I did newspaper and I loved every second of it. I had more fun after hours in HS with the halls empty, the clubs locked up in their various rooms, the 4-o'clock sun beaming through the windows, than I've ever had in class or during school hours.

I hated it back then, but now I wish I could go back.

All the Chad jocks were dicks and came from insanely rich families so they got away with everything or just didn't care if they got in trouble and were all around assholes. Some totaled cars and their parents bought them new ones the next week. Stacies were sort of nice. I could tell some of them thought I was funny and wanted to be nicer, but because it's high school they couldn't be caught hanging out around the ugly weird guy. That bothers me the most I think. One of them even bought me breakfast and joked around with me just a few times in the morning before her real friends showed up. Other than that, I was the ugly weird kid with a small group of friends. We weren't the bottom of the pyramid, but still down there in the lower middle somewhere maybe. I went most of those 4 years unnoticed or ignored.

It depends on the movie. My school didn't really have a bullying issue, and cliques were no where near as clannish as they appear in the movies. It was honestly pretty boring.

EU immigrantfag who lives in the US here. I liked american school better but only because the work seems easier and Americans aren't as loud and invasive, Dutch normies in comparison seem to feel no shame in just asking a quiet beta why he's quiet and demanding you give up personal info because they feel entitled.

That being said, Americans are like 90% turbonormie, even in College. People here seem much more easily applied to stereotypes and normie culture feels much more pressuring. In the netherlands at least you've got a decent population of fuck ups and ugly people, here everyone seems endlessly chasing stupid shit.

All in all a better place for a robot, but definitely a more alienating one. It wasn't unusual here to be literally the only kid in a 30 kid classroom who wasn't part of the normie mainstream club, and the few outsiders are mostly the kind of shit you see on reddit and tumblr nowadays.
>>
pretty accurate. although I'd say movies/tv shows have kids just sitting around next to fountains and hanging out in hallways a lot more than is normal. most times you only have 5-10 minutes to get to class and the media makes school look like one big hang out session

they were at one time, like back in the 80s. it hasn't been like that since the mid 90s. some southern high schools are like that because they are really big on hurr durr football murica shit, but it's not like that in the north. no one cared about sports in my high school, no one bullied anyone, there were popular people that stuck with each other, but they weren't typical movie-level bully types, no one gave a shit.

No. My high school's buildings were bretty nice, though.
In real life football players weren't always assholes and cheerleaders weren't stuck up bitches. Most of the cheerleaders, if not all, were actually pretty nice to everyone, like genuinely nice.
As for the football players, they were okay. When basketball season starts or something the numbers dwindle down a lot when it comes to who does sports and games and whatever.
Pretty much anyone could be friends with anyone, too.

>Most of the cheerleaders, if not all, were actually pretty nice to everyone,

the cheerleaders in my school were mostly just weird and none of them were popular stacy types. they were just mediocre looking girls who like dancing, there wasn't one stacy there, a few of them were actually kind of chubby. the stacies where i went were just hot girls who didn't do anything, they were just....attractive.

To any american downgrading the experience they must've lived throughout highschool, know that it'll always be far superior to what we've lived in Europe, where most of us are cloistered in cities where our schools are tiny, and that there's no true "school spirit" (so no school team, no school events) because we were just one of the many schools of that.


As to the cliques that somewhat punctuated my school-days in France, here they are:

>jocks, or anyone the guys whose role Americans would acquaint to that of jocks, who basically were just the most rowdy of the guys, and between whom were shared most of the school's girls if relationships occurred (and strangely enough, despite this being France, and the country of "muh romance", relationships were actually quite earth-shattering things were they did occur, and I probably saw only 7 or so bloom in my years of HS, but as to party-sex, I can't say how much that went on) but they were friendly enough, and it wasn't really something sect-like because there were lots of them
>the guys that desperately tried to tag along to them (probably the only people I was socially superior to, because at least I didn't actively seek the jock's approval, and jocks would sometimes like me without even trying)
>more beta guys, most of them being invested in computers and geek-stuff, where I pretty much hung on despite hating technology, and that group wasn't so ostracized because we were decently funny and had one hot guy in our group that basically always tore down the "nerds are ugly xD" delusion because girls would always get wet over him
There were lots of other subgroups, particularly in how those jocks split up, but eh, who cares.
>>
>>28977606
>then the gossip girls, who were uppity and the only girls that didn't actively hide from everyone that they were judgemental as fuck
>de facto regular girls who didn't mind staying at each other's level (so we were spared those retarded american drama "girls bring down girls" narratives)
A subgroup in there were the lesbian girls who somehow liked hanging out with me. In fact girls didn't actively resent being around me, unless I was being severely autistic, because I'd conform to some "nonchalant, chilled-back" attitude around them. I've noticed that most girls are only pissed against you whenever they've reason to believe that you, ugly girl, are interested in them, "le so hot girl". So I just always this erm "uncaring" vibe when around them just to emphasize how much I wasn't interested in them. And so with them we could just be friends, without them being scared that I was attracted to them and would ruin their popularity (don't ask me, ask them; that was how most would view things back then).

I went to a rural voc so "cliques" didn't really exist except for different shop cultures. All of the "stacys" were in cosmetology. All the nerds in Comp Info Sys and Electronics. The "jockish" guys were mostly in Auto, Welding, Carpentry, and Machine. Fatties and the hufflepuff types ended up in Culinary. Future hipsters ended up in Graphic Design. Serious girls went to Health Professions.

Sport season was pretty much every season since we had enough room for nearly every sport you could think of(short of rich-kid ones like crew and sailing). It was fun.

The cheerleaders weren't a big thing for my school since the football team sucked. Our soccer, softball, swim, and golf teams however were god-tier. Tbh, my high school was better than the media portrayal of American high schools.

Fuuuuck this feel. There was this one popular girl that sat next to me in my French class. She had the most beautiful smile I've ever seen on someone before. She would always talk to me like a genuine human being and seemed like she actually enjoyed it when we joked around. Of course I never thought to ask her out since she probably had Chads lined up for a mile waiting for the chance to hook up with her and I wouldn't stand a chance.

"School spirit" is a meme.
The only people that gave a shit were the ultra normies. Most people I know didn't care about the school sports etc. unless they were on a team themself. Most everyone else just cared about the club they were in.
I was in the marching band (objectively the "heart" of school spirit at sporting events) and went to all the football/basketball games because of it and I can assure you most of the band members hardly paid attention to the game. We were just there to goof around, and get an extra A+ on our report card. Plus some of us actually liked playing music.
>>
>>28977691
Yup that's my point man. How were you meant to feel cosy about your school where none of those things instilled you with any pride for it, or just find places wherein to meet friends :c. Americans are incredibly lucky with their schools out on campuses separate from the town, that therefore could host stadiums, fields, recreational grounds, etc...

Clubs or high school based sport teams and shit didn't even exist at my high school in the Netherlands.

Infact my city of 60k people had about 5 different high schools in it so you were never going to get that sort of 'big community' feel I tend to see at American high schools.

Everything is just way more down to earth here, you go to school, you go home after and you do whatever or you hang with friends who still live nearby because your school is at most 15 minutes away from where you live.

Don't you get it! That's one of my keystone points. That there were no places where we'd be this tied to other people in our school, since our schools were underfunded messes thanks to socialism, and that no one dared step foot there more than they needed to because of how in a pitiable of a situation they were.

I'm so glad I'll be at an American university next year. Finally some campus that doesn't make you want to run away in fright.

I've also been told everyone in America gets the same classes in terms of difficulty, no matter how smart the kids are?

I have difficulty wording this but in my country in the EU everyone gets split up and put into different classes based on how good they are at learning etc which is apparently not a thing in American high schools?

>the kid dies a little more inside as he sees everyone pretending to care about him for a couple days until it's no longer a social fad to do so

Seriously, those lectures do more harm than good. I still feel bad for the kid even though I haven't seen him over half a decade. I was like his only friend for two whole years, and that was only because his parents forced him to play on the soccer team for those two. He was the worst male player but I still put in the effort to help him out genuinely because I've been in that spot before in other areas of my life. He was like the Samwell Tarly of our soccer team and I was like Jon to him. Kinda pissed me off everytime that assembly came through because of it. You can't just feign friendship for a couple days. You have to be there for someone for months and actually help.

I feel sorry for europe because they want to be America but they can't. People of all races can be patriotic in America because being American is an idea of freedom and pursuit of happiness. It's not something that is genetic or anything like that.

France is a cool place but Europe needs to purge itself and preserve it's heritage and culture. Europe is supposed to be the ornate homeland of white people; not the third-world shitting ground that it has become.

I truly feel for you, my dude.

If you were his metaphorically Jon to his metamorphically Samwell, then why is it that he was ever allowed by you to be sat alone? You should've heralded me to his table, though I can see that your heart otherwise was in the right place.

Thinking back on it, I've embodied a Jon to many Samwells. I've always had this ability to be greeted by the normies without ever much effort, just by being that kid they gush over for being especially nice, and cute for being a little religious. (Author's note: that doesn't I was invited to their parties or anything, they were just nice to me at school, never bothered to talk to me outside of it).

Anyways, when I was 11, I actively tried to bring a poor lonely Jacob into the normie group, but then had to abandon him when changing schools. Then another kid from 11 to 12. Then another. Rinse and repeat because I've changed schools a bunch in my life, probably twelve changes or so. And the last one I tried to help was from middle school to high school this one kid that was especially autismo at the start (wannabe youtube celebrity that would post videos on there for the whole school to see, maybe I'll link them to you, and basically a bit unpopular). But we ended up high school with him outdoing my popularity so I like to think that I served him alright.

Eh, shits too nice looking. Maybe its because I don't live in a rich area with tons of extra money that can get thrown at the school but my high school was a fucking wreck. 15-20 year old textbooks. desks that would fall apart if the fat kid sat in them. all the lockers were ether scratched to hell or dented, some didn't even have handles.

Seriously TV is nothing at all like the high school I went to. Why doesn't it ever show what an inner city school life would be like?
>>
>>28978026
Yea, sort of. It's kind of determined in junior high though. In 7th grade for example I was placed in Algebra 1. while most kids were in basic algebra or something.
So basically if you are book smart you can get classes out of the way early. But like I said when you get to high school and the final 2 years in particular you have a lot of flexibility as far as schedule goes. Some people took 2 or 3 math classes if they wanted, or extra Lit/writing classes. You have a lot of choice in making your schedule. You're still required to take a science class even if you suck at science, but you can take an easier science class.
Sorry my explanation is bad lol.

We let him hang out at my table whenever he wanted to sit at it. He preferred to read during lunch though and thus sat alone(my table was pretty roudy).

That's pretty cool of you though to have helped so many of them. I only had a couple kids like that where I was their only friend. IIRC, the Sam that I was talking about is now an engineer and recently graduated from a decent uni.

A dozen or so pedophiles, one teacher got caught having sex in the office, one was a sex trafficker, the typical.

There was also another guy who invited a bunch of kids to his house and got naked and "played games." When the yearbooks came out that year he had a whole page dedicated to them and they had to recall it.

>That's pretty cool of you though to have helped so many of them.
Don't think that those benevolent undertakings of mine didn't hold a degree of selfishness to them. Sometimes, I'd reach out to them even in a way that wasn't that discreet (while most others would veil from their normie friends that they were hanging out with "losers" because that shit wounds your reputation, yo) at all because I actually depended on my more normie friends to see it, just for it to recycle this image they'd had of me of being the "overly nice Christian guy xD". Sometimes I also would lend them an arm for them to be lifted up only so I could remind myself that there were students out there socially worse than me, and that it was quite the rush to have someone look up to you for being more socially adept than him. To be fair; I'd spend my days mostly with the normiest cycles, and in their midst, I didn't often feel like that.

But sure, it also partially was driven by me just reflecting about it all that it was the "right thing to do". Sometimes, you realize that it's you that's burdened with fighting the good fight against the hypocrisy and cruelty of HS.
Anyways, I'm glad for "Sam"! But like us all, he'll always feel pursued by that dread that he "missed out on his teenage years", no matter his accomplishments.

I'd do that, though I'd specify it as "Europe" and not the EU, because my country's quite special, and in mentioning it, I receive unearned levels of attentions, like saying "fem here" would.

So I just hidden as anon and let people imagine that "Europe" means that I hail from the UK ;/.

We had to recall a speech for my school's 8th grade graduation since the overachieving flamboyant vice president turned out to be a homicidal pedo.
Two teachers of mine also got fired for a suspision of student relations(though the girl who brought it out was a bitch so i'm not sure how true it was) and accepting bribes from kids to score them better on tests.

Same province, but we didn't have a soundproof music room. I think it was the office in the stage area where it happened.

Sorta. Don't lose your sleep over it. It's not usually that we're rare within the Internet, but rather that we cower away from the english part of it, since we have the reputation about us that we can't speak English (which is partially founded).

Shop is essentially the word we used for vocation. For example, if a Stacy started talking about what was happening in shop, she'd be talking about what was happening in cosmetology section of the school. The school was setup with two weeks of academics and then two weeks of shop. For me, that would be Computer Info Sys. So instead of saying "only 3 days of academics left, I can't wait till we're back in CIS", it would be "I can't wait till we're back in shop".

If that wasn't what stumped you, the rest was about the one girl in my shop who was emo. She had the hots for me. Regret not dating her in high school because she was a serious jackrabbit back then. Lost my virginity to her on a casual basis.
>tfw she's cheated on every boyfriend/fiance she's ever had with me

Have you ever heard of the Streisand Effect? I really doubt anyone cares, but it's cool.

I would say that
>the stereotypes about cliques are true, and there are people literally indistinguishable from movie stereotypes
>but they're not always well defined and no one gives a fuck if you're not "in" one
>the non-advanced classes really are hilariously easy if you're not impaired in some way
>it's probably only life-changing if you're a normie

I've just finished it and it felt like a massive 4 year waste of time, though I did learn a few new facts. Thank god I am done with it.

Most of the chads in te school I went to weren't assholes. No one ever went out of their way to fuck with any of the losers, except for one kid who tried really really hard to fit in with them. Then he got cancer and everyone was nice to him

Depends on the girl. Some do. Most don't. I knew two girls who were pregnant by 16. I didn't know any girls who were virgins by 17.

Another French anon here, and yeah. It's sad how accurate this is. Modern France is failed America, just as it keeps denying it. I became a robor and dropped out because I couldn't deal with that depressing culture of cynicism and bitterness against anything beautiful.

Fast forward a decade, my savings allow me to finally visit the US; what is this, white people talking to each other on the street? Not asking for a smoke with a scorn, but smiling and making conversation with strangers?

If I were born in America I would have been a turbonormie, instead I'm a loser socially. France is a failed state.
