American Schools So the other day I had someone ask me if American schools were really like what is seen in the movies. I've decided to answer this question to the best of my ability, so wish me luck. It all depends on your surroundings, but not really. Like allot of movies show these schools with all these different races, and these mean a** kids(which kinda exist) but all schools aren't like that. My school is like 97% Black/Latin 2% White and 1% Asian(I'm friends with her). Also there are the school bullies, but they USUALLY don't go the extremes of the movies. And with the schools that do have all those races, its usually special admission schools or suburban schools. In our schools, its not just bullies, we have like... a friggen monarchy as far as labels go, I fall somewhere in the middle. The thing about the monarchy is, if you mess with someone higher than you(even if they started it) them, and all there little minions, are on you like white on rice. Also i'm pretty sure if anyone burst out singing in the middle of school like they're on "High School Musical", it wouldn't end pretty. Actually I'm pretty sure they end up in the nurses office. Oh, and even though some people are, kids in America are not nearly as stupid as they are portrayed in movies. Also, even though I focused allot on the negatives, our schools aren't as bad as it seems as long as you stay in your click, and don't break the rules of the monarchy. Actually even though there are allot of people higher up than me in my class/section, if another class were to mess with me or someone else from our class, our entire section has our back.... We're knit tight like that. So I hope this helped anyone who was curious, and if you have any questions feel free to ask, bye bye :)
