Comments on 'The Comprehensive (Compressed) Guide to Middle School Life, No. 2: Social Classes'*Jocks* - can be followed by the suffix "strap." Need I say more?
*Skater* - some can be grouped with emos (though I honestly can't figure out how they would be able to maneuver with their sister's pants on).
*Nerds and Geeks* - geeks play MMORPGs (Massively-Multiplayer-Online-Role-Playing-Games), for example. Nerds usually tend to know things, get good grades, etc. These two classes can be mistaken to be the same. (EDITED now, people. Quell your worries.)
*Normal People* - like the earth's amount of freshwater, these breaks in the system account for less than 1% of the student population.
So, not too confusing? Basically, the social pyramid consists of those who conform - dumb blondes, jocks, those who wear Hollister - at the top, while non-conformists - nerds, geeks, genuine individuals - tend to stay at the bottom of the middle school ladder. An interesting side note, however, is that later in life, the non-conformists at the bottom are often receiving checks from the conformists.2008-06-28T03:43:41Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/31070Comment on The Comprehensive (Compressed) Guide to Middle School Life, No. 2: Social Classes<p>Hilarious, and how very true.

But we think you’re crazy to make us write this essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us. In the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. That’s the way we saw each other at 7 o’clock this morning. We were brainwashed.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/31070?basename=635162008-05-20T01:39:45ZBARomerohttp://ficlets.com/authors/baromeroComment on The Comprehensive (Compressed) Guide to Middle School Life, No. 2: Social Classes<p>I love the definition of jocks and the idea that later in life the conformists end up paying the nonconformists.

Just some. Enough to notice.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/31070?basename=634902008-05-20T00:03:51ZStovohobohttp://ficlets.com/authors/stovohoboComment on The Comprehensive (Compressed) Guide to Middle School Life, No. 2: Social Classes<p>This is interesting. But really, in my opinion, “skater” is not really “emo” but it stands by itself. In my school we have I guess (for lack of a better word) skater dudes, and they are nothing like the emo people. But still. I thought the jocks=jock strap (one word? maybe….I’m a girl, don’t need to know quite yet) was hilarious.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/31070?basename=634892008-05-20T00:01:47ZBring Out Your Inner Emo Kid <3http://ficlets.com/authors/cappygrl95
