>From my POV, the school social structure in USA seems very "schematic". Like there are popular kids and they look like this and have these attitudes, then there are geeks who are socially awkward and physically weak, then there are jocks etc.
What are the odds your POV is coming from television and movies?
- The_Colonel 4y agoIt surely comes from television and movies, that's where I first got to know it. And for many years I thought that this is just a media illusion. But seeing real conversations using those stereotypes ("I was your typical nerd kid at school") here, on reddit and even talking to people IRL convinced me that this "caste system" does actually exist in real life (of course not to the overblown degree shown in movies).
- rchaud 4y ago> What are the odds your POV is coming from television and movies? I'd be interested to know what the odds are that students themselves are self-selecting into categories based on what they seen in TV and movies. Today it would be more IG and Tiktok, but what even are those if not micro-reality TV full of tryhards desperate to get a TV deal?
