High School Styles1

             School is one of those activities that takes a good portion of one's life until your mid-twenties; but what we are going to focus on is high school students. Do you remember your first day of high school? The place was full of all types of prospective students. Each type has its own style of dress, grooming, speech patterns, and attitudes. Even though they are all students they differ to include bangers, kickers, preps, jocks, and nerds.
             Bangers or head bangers dress in darker colors, usually black. Their pants tend to be very baggy and sag while their shirts are very small and tight fitting. Their grooming habits differ widely in the fact that they always appear dirty, or look as if they just crawled out of the bed or some undesirable place. Some like the style of long, stringy hair and grossly overdone makeup, while others like colorful, spiked, greasy hair. A lot of them favor dyeing their hair; either yellow-corn blond or shoe polish black. The speech patterns used by this group consist of violence, darkness, and profanity. They usually express this by adding tattoos and piercing all over their bodies. Their attitude is very negative toward others outside of their group.
             Kickers or cowboys dress in tight Cowboy Cut Wrangler jeans usually the 13MWZ style, western or polo shirts, and cowboy boots (Ropers are the most popular), or Justin Chukkas. A fancy belt that has a lot of silver on it and a large, shiny buckle are almost required apparel. Their grooming habits are neat, the guys having short hair and being clean-shaven. The girls usually have long hair, frequently up in a ponytail adorned with an ornament. They talk in a rural style, preferring words like ain't, ya'll, yonder. They use a milder form of profanity that normally refers to animal excrement. Their attitude is cheerful, friendly, and somewhat tolerant. They are polite and respectful to all.
