Freaks and Geeks

In every high school there is definitely different kinds of stereotypes. Whether it's boys and girls or jocks, cheerleaders, nerds and freaks. A perfect example of a setting that contains stereotypes is the TV show "Freaks and Geeks". The episode we watched was about this "freak" Lindsay who wants to not be portrayed as a freak anymore. She starts to hang out with the "cool" kids. Cool meaning slackers. While she doesn't want to be portrayed as a freak her brother is getting bullied. The bad part about it is that she tries to stick up for him but he ends up getting teased more. The brother ends up fighting for him and his friends. Another girl whose name is Kim doesn't accept Lindsey into the "cool" group so she makes both Lindsay and her brother school day hard. Our school isn't very cliquey and the only groups we have are really boys and girls. Girls normally hang with girls and boys are always with the boys. Sure there are people here that stick out more than others but we all are unique and stick out in some ways in other people's eyes. I like to follow peoples trends but I would never want to the be the person who makes the trends and takes control. That isn't my personality. I can't relate to Kim at all but in contrary I can relate to Lindsey.
