Being fortunate enough to have an older brother go to high school a few years before me I was lucky enough to take heed to his advice. He told me to talk to everyone no matter if they were in the "in" crowd, which mainly consisted of football players, cheerleaders, and usually people that had money and dressed nice. The "outcasts" mostly consisted of people that stayed in vocational classes all day and wore clothing that was usually dirty. With thanks going to my brother who told me not to be stuck up to everyone no matter how they looked or dressed, gave me the privilege of knowing a lot of good people both in the "in" crowd and the "out" crowd.
The type of people in the "in" crowd usually came from families that were doing pretty good in the financial part of their lives. Some of my classmates at the time that were in the in crowd hardly ever wore the same clothes to school twice, and if they did they thought it was a sin. Every day they would come in wearing Calvin Klein, Abercrombie, or Tommy Hilfiger from head to toe and walk into school thinking that they were the only people that went there. While they were at school they wouldn't do anything that would jeopardize getting their clothes dirty even if it was a
The "in" crowd also did fairly well with their schoolwork, which mainly consisted of classes like calculus, trigonometry and other advanced placement classes. Not one single time in my four years at north did I see a person from the popular crowd take a vocational class. Whether it be the rumors about everybody that went to north were a bunch of rednecks or just the simple fact that they didn't want to get their clothes dirty, and if I were guessing, just knowing the type of people that went there it was probably the simple fact of not wanting to get their garments dirty.
Although I had more friends in high school that were popular most of the people that I hang out with now were in the "out" crowd. I don't know if it is because of all of the teasing about the way they dressed in high school that made them the people that they are today but I'm glad that their my friends: and I know for a fact that if I would of kept hanging around the popular kids after high school I wouldn't be the person that I am today. And today, I'm proud to be who I am and have the friends that I have.
Even though most of my friends were in the popular crowd I didn't take part in the way that they treated everyone else. Most of the time the popular kids would make fun of the way the "outcasts" were dressed
