PREPS?!
This is the deal; I'm a prep.
Flat out, okay... but, in my school prep's are targeted. BIG TIME. Teachers make us write papers on how bad cliques are, and in class room meetings we disucuss the groups and every time people bring up prep and look at me. I have a certain group of friends and I sit with them, but i get along with almost anyone. Just beacuse someone has on all black and chains comming off their pants doesn't mean i hate them... I DONT ! BUT EVERYONE THINKS THAT?
Is anyone out there non-prep can you explain to me why people would assume that? they dont even know me.. and its not that im mean or stuck up in any way.

Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
well any movie pertaining highschool life has made society either hate or adore you.
and the fact you openly lable yourself can't help either, because you're falling victim to the fact that you automatically think everyone hates you.
A lot of people have the stereotype on preps that they think everyone likes them, they get what the want, they only shop the best, etc.etc.
You have to prove it to people that you're not just another clone.And by doing that you'll gain the liking of your peers.
dont be afraid to travel outisde of your box.the "goth" kids aren't going to talk to you, and theres automatically a barrier there. I suggest you don't even try to attempt to befriend that clique.

It's just typical stereotyping. Everyone judges and labels people, and your right preps are the most targeted.I guess it's because preps tend to form more cliques than other groups of people and they're usually the most noticed for some reason. Thet're always the ones being teased and made fun of. When people get an idea in their head how someone is they stick to it, even if it's not true. Everyone is entitled t their opinion. Some people may just make fun of a certain group because others are. Everyone has their own idea of what wrong and right is, but the teachers have no right to punish you for being in a certain group. Some preps are stuck-up and some aren't but people like to thing their all the same and stuck up. Just ignore them! People are gonna say that just because your a prep that automatically makes you a bitch. Try making friends outside your group,but you should just be patient and always be yourself so that when you meet new people and talk to people they will see you for who you really are and not just a prep.

Okay, me on my brutally honest side: people are gay-asses. The reason I say that is because everyone has a right to dress however they want: goth, prep, skater, whatever. And, I don't label. Don't believe in them. But, just from hanging out with "goths", they don't like preps too much. It's just a typical stereotype. Everyone has opinions, and they're entitled to them, unless the person is being just downright mean/rude. Anyways, there are people out there who judge and label and stereotype, and there's really nothing any of us can do, except just to ignore it.

it's not that * this is not how I see it it's just that I know what other people think about it cause i got friends that get target by the most random things....if you dress different that all the other people then your "weird" to then , just because what you wear is not what they like , or think as "normal" that's mostly why, if you hang out with the geeks they think your the same that's a perfect example I have friends of all types :S and it doesn't mean i'm like that weird kid who is really cool lol anyway ...people tend to target others mostly about their clothes not being as they would like them to be or just by being different from theirs =) any way you shouldn't care about it , those who know you will love you does who don't...who cares if they like you if you shouldn't mind ..unless what your friends think about you and family that's what matters =)

That's so harsh of your school!
I don't believe in labels, but I assume I'm "un-preppy", but I don't put down "preps". But I know why some people do. It's because they're shallow and arrogant, which is exactly what they think of "preps". The usual description of a "prep" is: bitchy, usually rich, wears A&F, popular. People only assume that because they've had bad experience with "preps," but they're only acting ignorant. They just take one look at you and think, "That girl's a bitch because she's prep." In a way, it's like racism.
Don't let them get you down. You know you aren't what they think. Eventually, they'll notice your positive qualities and their judgement will change. They won't think low of you forever, as long as you keep your good personality. Trust me, they'll find out your inner girl as long as you be patient.

I'm not exactly Anti-Prep.
I wear Hollister, I say 'like' too much,
and I'm a cheerleader, so I can't exactly
go off about how stupid preps are.
But our world thinks so lowly of preps
because of what's written in books and
shown on tv. There's really not a whole lot
you can do to change peoples assumptions.
However, I can happily say I'm not
judged as much as most people usually would.
This is only because I let people
get to know me. I say hi to everyone in
the hall, I always ask people how they are.
When I first started middle school,
believe me, people gave me the cold shoulder
when I walked around school with a hoodie
that says "CHEER" on it. Even one girl that
hated me more then anything for my cheer
sweatshirt, I can proudly say now she is my
very best friend.
So, with all that, there's not much
you can do other then to stand up for
yourself. If your teacher tells you to
write about cliques, turn the assignment
around. Write about how unfair it is to
pre-judge people, and not just emo or
gothic people, preps as well. Be specific
and yuo can even personalize it with
your own expierences.
Other then that, keep it happy.
Smile, talk to other people, hey you
never know, you two could end up being
best friends one day too.
Good Luck<3

I don't understand you. You hate it for people to label you something, but then you go & label yourself. Nobody should label you, not even yourself.
People are idiots & they judge others based on music, clothing, outside appearance, or personality. Just tell everyone who does that to you to fuck off, and if they don't like you because of the way you dress, then that's their problem, not your's.
It's okay, because I hate people who label others as well. But don't label yourself either. Because then you're right on their level.
