"What's High School Stereotype?"
Stereotype Stereotype is a belief that may be adopted about specific types of individuals or certain ways of doing things, but that belief may or may not accurately reflect reality. However, this is only a fundamental psychological definition of a stereotype. Within and across different psychology disciplines, there are different concepts and theories of stereotyping that provide their own expanded definition. Some of these definitions share commonalities, though each one may also harbor unique aspects that may complement or contradict the others. Stereotypes are not what every person may be. Everyone is unique and do not have to follow a particular stereotype, unless they choose to. Stereotypes may be offensive to some people.

ATHLETES(The popular people;hunks,players,preps,party animals,queen bees) are people who joins the sports team at school. Such as a Cheerleader (is an athlete who supports a sports team by leading the crowd in cheers. Some cheerleaders like All-Star cheerleaders, don't do sideline, they only compete. Cheerleaders stunt, tumble, jump, and dance. You can become a Cheerleader at your local area school or association or look up on the internet for All-Star teams you would like to be in.) and a Jock (The term jock, when used primarily in the US, refers to the classic stereotype of a male athlete. It is generally attributed mostly to high school and college athletics participants who form a distinct youth subculture. In sociology, the jock is thought to be included within the socialite subculture, which also contains the preps and Ivy-Leaguers. As a blanket term, jock can be considered synonymous with athlete.
Similar words that may mean the same as jock include meathead, musclebrain, and musclehead. These terms are based on the stereotype that a jock is muscular, but not very smart, and cannot carry a conversation on any topic other than one relating to sports or exercices.)
A BULLY/THUG/GANGSTER is someone who is habitually mean to others, inflicting both physical and psychological abuse on his or her victims.
Bullies can appear at schools, in workplaces, and on the Internet. Bullying can also take on an international scale when nations bully each other with their politics and militaries.
Bullying can be extremely harmful on every level, and there are a variety of ways to deal with bullies and their actions.
EMO/GOTH/SKATER is an emotionally I'm-so-stuck-in-the-middle sort of person which doesn't know what to do. A person that sort of keeps away from the lime light and doesn't have many friends .
Emo/Goth/Skater is a person who dresses with black and tight jeans and tight shirts and spikes and sometimes eyeliner and sometimes black nail polish and an emo bag if he/she wishes.
And black hair someitmes with another unusual color like blue/red/purple, some piercings and other stuff like that.
TOMBOY/LESBIAN is a girl who exhibits characteristics or behaviors considered typical of the gender role of a boy, including the wearing of typically masculine-oriented clothes and engaging in games and activities that are often physical in nature, and which are considered in many cultures to be the domain of boys.
In recent times, as the ubiquity of traditionally female clothing such as dresses, blouses, and skirts has declined among Western females, the distinction has become more and more one of behavior. A general increase in the popularity of women's sporting events and other activities that were traditionally male-dominated is today broadening tolerance and lessening the impact of 'tomboy' as a pejorative term.
There is a perceived correlation between tomboys and lesbianism. While some tomboys later reveal a lesbian identity in their adolescent or adult years, behavior typical of boys but displayed by girls is not a true indicator of one's sexual orientation.
GAY/HOMOSEXUAL
The term was originally used to refer to feelings of being "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy"; it had also come to acquire some connotations of "immorality" as early as 1637. The term's use as a reference to homosexuality may date as early as the late 19th century, but its use gradually increased in the 20th century. In modern English, gay has come to be used as an adjective, and as a noun, referring to the people, especially to men, and the practices and cultures associated with homosexuality. By the end of the 20th century, the word gay was recommended by major LGBT groups and style guides to describe people attracted to members of the same sex. At about the same time, a new, pejorative use became prevalent in some parts of the world. In the Anglosphere, this connotation, among younger speakers, has a derisive meaning equivalent to rubbish or stupid (as in "That's so gay."). In this use, the word does not mean "homosexual", so it can be used, for example, to refer to an inanimate object or abstract concept of which one disapproves. This usage can also refer to weakness or unmanliness. When used in this way, the extent to which it still retains connotations of homosexuality has been debated and harshly criticized.
HIPPIES were teenagers and young adults during the 1960s and early 1970s who were part of the counterculture movement. They were in favor of peace and a loving attitude to all mankind while against war and violence. It is often said that they were for a "free love" society where everyone was free to love anyone whom they chose to. They were against the government of the day and are seen as one of the first environmentalists. Most people think to become hippies, a person must listen to certain music, dress in tie-dye clothing and often uses psychedelic drugs or marijuana. I personally have looked up serval dictionaries for the definition of "hippie"; this is what I found. Young person who rejects established mores, advocates nonviolence, and often uses psychedelic drugs or marijuana; also: long-haired unconventionally dressed young person. Well, I personally don't use any drugs or smoke pot. I obviously don't wear tie-dye clothing all the time; and I do not have long hair. So, what's hippie? I believe it is the way you think, which makes you a hippie. Not whether you smoke pot or not. A hippie is someone who believes in peace, love and freedom. A hippie is someone who appreciated simple life and cares for the environment. A hippie is a person who hates violence and wars. Hippies are peopling who just being who they are and accepting and embracing others for who they are. If you find all of these qualities within you, than, there is a really high chance of you being a hippie.

A NERD/GEEK/DORK is a derogatory stereotype of a person typically described as socially-impaired, obsessive, or overly intellectual. They may spend inordinate amounts of time on unpopular, obscure, or highly technical pursuits, or those relating to topics of fiction or fantasy, to the exclusion of more mainstream activities. Other nerdy qualities include physical awkwardness, introversion, quirkiness, and unattractiveness. Thus, a nerd is often excluded from physical activity and is a social outsider. In the stereotypical high-school situation, they may be either considered loners by others, or associate with a small group of like-minded people. As with other pejoratives, nerd has been reappropriated by some as a term of pride and group identity.Has strong aptitude in the sciences, math, and particularly computer science, and who may also be viewed as out of step with popular culture in matters of dress, or who is socially awkward. The designation of nerd may simply be applied to a person whose uniqueness sets them apart from what is considered the "norm," for no particular reason at all. The term is first mentioned in the Dr. Seuss book, If I Ran the Zoo, which was published in 1950.
