Apollo High School

Take a look around school, and you might notice many different kind of people. Their differences may be few or they may be many. But does the fact that someone is different from you give you the right to ostrasize them. The answer is NO!

Those students who go to this school, who have a style that is obviously a little different from everyone elses, do not deserve your ridicule. They have done nothing to you, all they have done is become an individual. For some out there it wouldn't hurt to try to be a little more unique themselves. The certain styles in this school seem to define us as one thing or another. That isn't a fair or good judgement of who someone really is.

This has all of its different little cliques who have their own little judgements on other cliques. For example, in the eyes of the so called "punks", "preps" are the kids with the best in life. They're all rich, have loving parents that will do everything for them, and etc. But the "preps" have the same judgement of "punks". They see "punks" as all skaters and rockers, when in all honesty, people whom believe themselves to be so called "punks" aren't. They are most likely semi-talented grunges. If you are in fact a "punk", most likely you won't call yourself one. You'll more then likely say, "Well these guys or these girls say I am, so yeah." (Punk lingo may sometimes be preceived as stupidity, its not. It's pure genius, if you don't act smart and people won't expect brilliance from you.)

Then we have our ever so busy bodies and slackers. Two of my favorite cliques, whom are so much a like and don't even realize it are the busy bodies and slackers. Busy bodies work harder then anyone, always doing homework or studying, week day and week end, while your average slacker spends every waking moment trying to get out of spending all their time doing homework and studying, I guess they don't realize they put more work into not doing it than actually if they did the work and just got it over with. If slackers put as much effort into their work as they put into not doing it, they'd be the smartest students in the history of school.

As we move on in the assortment of cliques we come to Emo's and Goths. Do not mistake Emo's with the ever popular Seasame Street character Elmo, they are in no ways the same. Emo's are a musical and very emotional group of people. They spend most of there time expressing themselves in many different kind of ways, through art, writing, song, or acting. They let their emotions out, hence why there called Emo's. Then you have your goths, people confuse goths with about every group except preps. Goths are not punks, they don't skate, Goths are not grunges, they don't claim there something that there not, and Goths are not even Emos. Goths are very angry people with a lot to say, and have a different kinda of way of saying it, thats all. But in all we all shouldn't judge our fellow class mates.
