Differences Alike

So as I entered high school, I quickly realized that there are many different types of people in this world. There are those who play sports – that’s it – and sports are their life. They wake up early in the morning to come to the school and lift weights to be in shape for a sport, they eat healthy food to stay in shape for their sport ; some even play a different sport just so that they will be in shape whenever it is time for THEIR sport to be in season. These kids, I like to call jocks.

Another type of person is the kids who may only take a shower once a week. They come to school and don’t care what they look like and don’t care what people think about their appearance. In our school they seem to hang around the gym or the right corner of our foyer. I had never stereotyped these kids before until I came to high school, where I learned that they are called “the dirties”.

Kids who walk around with different colored hair and baggy clothes were a new type of person to me too. Some do their makeup drastically, some where crazy clothes and some of their hair is styled wacky. These kids I have learned are called “emo”

In high school, you can be whoever you want to be and there will always be someone there to be a friend; either if you want to be a jock, a snob, a prep, a dirty, a teacher’s pet or an emo.
