Middle School Society Freewrite

Ok, so my Language Arts class had this assignment to do this quick freewrite about the middle school social levels. It was an in-class assignment, and here's what I got done in about 8 minutes:

I think there are three basic social groupings at my school. The easiest way to put it would be lower, middle, and upper groups. The lower group has the nerds, "weirdos", and loners. The middle group contains the "normal" kids, nice kids, and athletic kids. The upper group, or better known as the popular group, consists of pretty people, funny people, and usually athletic boys. I happen to be in the middle group currently, or at least I think so. Sometimes I find myself in the upper group, sometimes I even feel like I'm in the lower group. It is harder than it seems to control social status.

Right now I am going to talk about the lower group. These kids are usually made fun of, which is very sad. I would never make fun of them. It seems like they are already having trouble in school (with social status) so why make it worse? I am a person who is not afraid to be seen talking to kids in this group. They are usually nice, so I don't understand why they've been place so low.

Now I will talk about the popular group. Although this group is usually very cruel and disclusive, if you make friends with one of them you make friends with most of them. If you are not friends with them, they will simply act like you don't exist. If you are enemies with them, they will find some way to make your life miserable. I've been in all three of these positions before, but thankfully I'm not in the Enemy position right now. These people are funny, mean, happy, dramatic, disclusive, and pretty people. These people can be nice, but other than that they're usually very unreasonable and inhumane. In my opinion, I think all this group and categorizing is all in our heads. Instead of being "nerds", "norms", or "populars", can't we be just people?

Ok, so the essay ends there. It's definitely not the greatest essay I've ever done, and I typed it from the rough draft paper. I also knew it wasn't going to be graded strictly so.. well, you get the point. But I think the essay shows how much pressure there is on kids to be cool, or something like that. Even I can't say I don't care about what other people think about me, because I worry about what people will say if I wear something strange or different, or if my hair is a mess on a certain day. Hopefully in highschool people start to get over themselves.

Yeah... By the way, Panic! At the Disco is coming out with a new album on March 25th. MARCH 25TH!!! DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN SINCE THEIR LAST ONE CAME OUT? You don't? Unbelievable...
