Freaks and Geeks

Last week we watched a t.v. show called freaks and geeks, which accurately portrayed how some high schools can be. There are definitely many different groups in high school, but the way these groups interact is a little different. At Stevenson there are not a lot of fights between different groups, because people don't care as much. I think that if people consider themselves popular they just wont talk to the geeks. They wouldn't make it their business to torture a kid. A lot of what was in this show about teens skipping class and smoking is not a whole lot different these days. There are tons of kids who skip class and smoke weed just because they think they are cool. This show really related to sociology because we have such a clear vision of what high school should be like because of movies like this, and it really gives of the wrong impression. We are fully aware of the fact that there are kids/groups of friends that might not be as cool or as liked as other groups, but we just ignore it. I dont think that one person or a few people really have the power in our school because everyone has their own friends and people try to stay away from causing drama and being in control. Ya there might be a few people who have the power in certain groups of friends, but its not power over everyone in school.
