High School Cliches

I have to admit—I never really suffered nor benefited from clichés in high school. Mainly because I never stayed in the same school, I spent my first two years in one school and my last two in another. The point is that I never stuck around to see how it affected my fellow classmates, so I can’t really relate to any of the student in this article. But I found it incredibly interesting and saddening to know what teens roughly my age had to go through for four years. It’s hard to have an identity when coming-of-age and knowing where you belong in the world with or without guidance from parents. And it certainly doesn’t help to have social groups like nerds, jocks, or cheerleaders to make you feel inadequate about yourself.
