High school is a time of experimentation and finding yourself. I don't think I really have that time to experiment, but maybe it is not a good idea anyway. I am not going out to blow money on some type of piercing or tattoo just to fit in with a certain group - I really think these teenagers look like idiots. But there are many teenagers that do that - they blow money on stupid stuff.
But that is part of being a teenager is to find out where you fit in society and what you believe in.
Back then, teenagers did not exist because you were basically all in the same boat. Pretty much if you are a guy, you are to work on some farm or some factory, or maybe become a merchant or something like that, and if you are a girl, you are to be a housewife. Things seem to work out back then. But the first true teenagers took place when we have more options, more subcultures and you have the ability to chose what subculture you are in.
How do you know where you fit emo? Or prep? Or punk? or nerd? I think it has to do with personality and interests.
Preppy people are the ones that usually are in family that have a lot of money and they tend to be conservative and comforming. This is the easiest teenager stereotype to fit into because all you have to do is comform to the fads and go along with the teachers, etc.
The emo teenagers are usually the ones that are depressed and they have some issues at home. Goth teenagers are ones that are interested in witchcraft and all that creepy stuff. Gangsta kids are usually the ones that have anger issues or bipolar and are involved with dope, drugs, and the street life. The nerd is usually the one who studies hard and is very intelligent but socially ackward. They are usually the ones that are going to get somewhere in life in the adult world.
It looks like I fit into many categories, but I tend to be creative, especially with the music. I could be like these teenagers that like to make their own music and have fun. But I tend to be pretty conservative so I am not a big gid up fan. I am probably going to be attracted the best to scene kids or emo (I have a tendency to whine a lot) or maybe a preppy, normal conforming teenager. I am not really a gangsta kid because I don't have the aggression but I seem to be pretty passive. I can be pretty nerdy as well if I want to be as well.
But it looks like that teenagers are turning out to be the same. This recession or this economy is making these teenagers be a little bit more conforming and conservative these days. I tend to lean on the conservative side so I would probably stick to your basic comforming teenager, but I tend to have some artsy and musical tendencies as well so I can fit in with ones that know music as well.
I am not a one to take drugs or do alcohol or anything like that which basically weeds me out of a lot of stereotypes but it looks like romantic relationships are important to me. It seems like I haven't really gotten far in relationships because I am the one that likes to keep to my self, but I can find someone. I probably like sex if I get exposed to it...lol
Now I am almost 21 but I am still like a teenager at heart - trying to find out who I am. But maybe I do know who I am better than I think. I think I had a pretty good idea for who I am for a long time and I might as well stick to it.
It looks like I should try many things and see which fits me the best, and I should fire up Slacker or some music thing, and find out where I fit.
