The Stereotypes Of High School Students

Kids in middle school, are enduring a time period in their life where they're becoming teens, who are becoming adults. Kids going into middle school are at a point where boys being friends with girls was somewhat acceptable, to adults thinking if two 11 year olds of the opposite genders are gonna have sex with each other if they're left alone together for 5 minutes.

The media portrays high schools being full of identity stereotypes, whether it is in movies, TV shows, or sometimes music. Each school has the group of star athletes, the kids bound for broadway, and the kids who could become the next Einstein. Every show or movie has the same supporting character who each belonged to different cliques.

The stereotype being displayed in this picture is that Asians spend all of their time studying and as a result are successful in school and life. I first encountered this stereotype in elementary school when a girl came up to me on the playground and asked if I could help her with her math homework because she, “knew I was good at it.” At the time, I was confused because I had no idea how she knew I was good at math. Then, as I became more aware of the stereotype that followed me due to my race, I noticed how it influenced others’ interactions with me.

The two high schools I went to during my time in Arizona and Virginia, consisted of a racial composition of either a majority of White Americans or African Americans. The impact this had on the social makeup of each high school made each experience unique in its own way. As you read, the demographics of the city or town, high school, student body, and social hierarchy amongst that student body reflects on its relation with Milner’s data. Both were public schools with a homogeneous mixture of students, that understood how to fit in by conforming to the social norms. The crowds within the schools were based on an overall establishment of what was “cool” at the time, and this affected your social status. Despite there being an establishment

Though we may say words don’t hurt us, they do in one form or another. By the middle of fourth grade instead of being known as the nice girl as I was in my old school, I became the outcast. It all began when one of the girls in my group had a comment about why I was in school when I could be doing her yard work. It was the furthermost embarrassing moment in my entire life, and while all the students laughed uncontrollably all I could do is hide my face in shame. This moment had sparked the never ending bullying that was my fourth and fifth-grade year. While walking the hallway’s boys would call me “illegal” and, of course, a “wetback”. Though I find it humorous now, this was undoubtedly the ultimate dilemma I faced living in Georgia. Two

In helping to minimize students being in the hallways, skipping, and missed instructional time, please accept all students into your classroom who are late and mark them tardy. If a student is more than half the period late, and you feel they were skipping please write a referral. Please do not lock students out of your class or send them to SAO for a pass, unless we are having a Tardy Sweep. This will help to minimize students being in the hallways and skipping. We do address tardies with students on a regular basis. Thanks for your understanding and support regarding this matter.

Have you ever heard any jokes at school that have to do with someone’s race? Apparently, these stereotype jokes occur quite often. It might be just a “joke,” but sometimes it becomes more than just that.

Society often thinks of teenagers as immature, irresponsible, careless people. We, as individuals, are nothing of that sort. Teenagers often think about their future, set their priorities, and take serious thought into popular topics or current events. For me personally, I try as best as I can do to those that are listed. We put on “hats” so we can act different around different people. For friends, family, or the general public. When I hear people stereotype teenagers by calling us ignorant I often want to jump in and show what I can do, that I care.

The past 720 days of high school and 2,340 days of school all together seems like a lot but boy has time flown. And here we are gathered hoping that we didn’t screw up again and can actually graduate. Some of us will graduate today, next week, next month even but i’m proud that I get to graduate with this class, the class of 2017. I have known some of you since maddux, most at nagel but we really came together once highschool started. Tate Sheppard and I became best friends after I punched her in the face for cutting in line in the fifth grade, I don’t regret that decision. Natalie Gould and I became friends in seventh grade from our guitar class and five years down the road she is still my best friend. No matter what scenario I run into, I can always count on this class to be there.

In a classroom with grey-blue carpet and starch white walls, my 3rd grade class and I sat nervously gripping our pencils. From my seat, the small American flag blocked the clock, but I was positive we had been sitting in silence for hours. Our teacher migrated between pods of desks and placed thin, light grey test booklets in front of each student. I reached forward to touch the pages that felt like the glossy outside of a newspaper. Mrs. Lewis’s navy heels clicked back to the front of the room and she meticulously straightened the remaining tests in her hands. “Please keep your hands in your lap until I tell you to begin,” she said before turning around. Our hands quickly retreated into our laps. She continued, “The results are only for us

Most university alumni loved college. Most university alumni felt they had a perfect combination of a social life and education. Most university alumni felt that their education made them as successful as they were today. On the flip side of that coin lie the students in High School. Most of whom hate their school, their teachers, their workloads, pretty much life. These two sides of the same coin seem like night and day, but there's one commonality that lies between them. At the beginning of their educations in their respective institutions, High School and University, how many of them knew what they wanted to do almost immediately?

The academic subjects I excel in are history, mathematics, science, and Spanish. It is a typical stereotype that since I am an Asian American, I love equations and numbers. I happen to fall under this phrase because ever since I was a little kid, I loved numbers. To my current day, I have a keen sense of how math and science are used in life just as any other subject. I found out that I am a deductive and inductive reasonable person because I learned it in my Theory of Knowledge class dealing with various subjects. It is interesting how long ago in time philosophers such as Newton or Pythagoras came up with ideas and shapes that are similar to our reality for instance, something a simple as paying for groceries at the daily supermarket or even

Instead of making sure that she had her hospital room reserved and her bags prepared, Kim Kardashian was instead on her phone making sure that her hair and makeup were perfect for the day of delivery. Celebrity’s lavish and luxurious lifestyle often inspire teenagers to imitate their clothing, habit and lifestyle. All of these remain bearable until some teenagers begin to do illegal or harmful things to follow their celebrities.

It’s not as simple as it sounds because I’m talking about making your own decisions.

They began to laugh at me because of my "friendless" reputation at my old elementary school. "If you will excuse me, I have to find my next class." I said kindly, not wanting to cause any problems. Little did I know that those girls would be the cause of so much sadness in my life.
