The cafeteria in your school isn't divided into jocks, geeks, goths, etc. like it's portrayed in some TV shows/movies, amirite?

The sad thing is that it actually is seperated. Maybe not as dramatically, but pretty close.

I think that the TV shows/movies get this idea of social cliques from an actual school atmosphere and then amplify it for good television. Then, once a teenage "jock" goes home and sees on TV that he should not be talking with the "geeks," he doesn't talk to them. The social climate and the media continue to build upon each other until we reach a point where it is socially unacceptable to be a geek or a goth. D-WIGHT OUT

since i go to an all-guys school, it isn't spread out goths, geeks, jocks, etc. but more so what sport you play since about 95% of the student body at my school participates in a sport.

And I'm guessing yours is basketball?

Nah, it's way more subtle. Someone from a different school wouldn't be able to see the lines, but they're there. It's mainly just cool people vs. uncool people, and in those groups are more intricately drawn groups. Highschool man. It's a bitch.

Our school is, sadly. But like Jodie said, not as dramatically. We have a "goth" table, a "popular" table, and I just sit with my friends in the back of the cafeteria. We call ourselves "The weirdos" ;D

Kids at my school don't really care. I remember we had a few jocks in my drama club, actually, and they were some of the best actors there. There was also a 'nerd' on the basketball team.

We pretty much have a popularity scale, consisting of several groups. considering our highschool only has 400 people, a lot of groups get grouped together. like fat girls who take pictures in swimsuits and goths and people who sleep all over are in one group.

My school is separated into one small group of rednecks, and a large group of people who hate the rednecks

The stereotypes arent as obvious at my school; however, theres the 'most popular group', the 'second most popular', 'third', etc. It's pretty fucking stupid.

The cliques at my school are all mixed and mushed together. You get a lot of people who are, for example, in band, running in track, in art club, drama club, and they're in FFA. We have different tables at lunch, but everyday there are different people sitting at them. It's never 'nerds sit here, and only preps can sit here'.

We have three "big groups", and each of those groups is split into two groups, which some people call the "sister groups". It's. . . weird.

We're divided. Just not extremely. You can still pretty much talk to anyone without getting made fun of like in the movies, but the problem is you don't want to talk to other people because you have nothing in common.

We're divided, but again, not as extremely. The jocks and ASB people all sit in one section of the quad, the hipsters at this one table away from everyone else, and then everyone else is kinda just scattered.

We have a cafeteria but no one eats in it. Everyone usually eats in teachers classrooms or goes off campus for lunch

We all sit on a lawn for lunch :D and there are cliques but our whole grade knows each other and are free to mingle. The only real divider is language: some Xhosa girls sit together.

Nobody sits in the cafeteria at my school, but different social groups sit in different hallways. There' are hallways like the band/theater kids hallways then like three hipster hallways and even the JROTC kids have their own hallway.

We don't have a cafeteria but it's kind of the same, except in my school there's two groups: Cool people, and not cool people, and then there's different branches of cool people and not cool people. Like the lowest would never talk to the highest, but the people somewhere round the middle aren't necessarily friends, but they get along.
