They’re almost identical to the basic kids, but when they’re online, they’re…something else. You often have discussions with your classmates about the insane stuff that these otherwise normal people post online. With that in mind, we decided to break down the various groups of high school kids. An important note: Many of these groups overlap, and none of them are any worse or better than the others. Remember, high school is tough stuff, and it’s impossible to make it through without having a few awkward phases. This group thinks they’re better than all the other groups on this list. They’re not. They’re uncomfortable with high school and uncomfortable with themselves, so they take out their confusion on their peers. They think that they see through the phoniness of the world, but they’re just as wrapped up in it as any of the rest of us. The big difference: They don’t get to enjoy the high school experience for what it is. During their senior year, when will these two be together? When will these go to prom together? When will these have a happily ever after?

Played with Tommy's mother, Larissa had been emotionally neglectful to her son and it was justified because she haven't gotten over about her husband's death. They’re similar to the cool band kids, but with one important difference: SoundCloud rappers can’t play instruments, and they’re more likely to spend time talking about their music than actually doing anything musical. They wear expensive, ugly clothes (see the streetwear fashionista entry below) and plan to get face tattoos as soon as they graduate. Unlike the overachievers, these kids prioritize their hobbies and social relationships. Still, if they just put in a little more effort, they’d be in the running for valedictorian. Every once in a while, a well-meaning teacher will arrange after-class visits with one of these kids to try to push them to the next level, but these teens are happy with academic mediocrity. The Streetwear Fashionistas

These kids think of themselves as hilarious, but they confuse “funny” with “quirky.” They’re random for the sake of randomness, throwing out references to memes and internet videos for no apparent reason. They dress like their parents, adopting strange affectations to try to seem creative.

I agree that small steps matter. That includes operators like Sweden's Swedavia with its three airports that achieved the 'without-plane target' and will add another seven soon. Hurray! Sweden is a relatively tiny place, though, and matters less in the context of the air travel climate change debate. If we do make airports carbon neutral, it needs to happen at global frequent-flyer hubs. I tallied statistics by the Airport Carbon Accreditation. Despite its ridiculous nature, 'carbon neutral airports' largely failed to progress in regions outside Europe. Actually Averted with Chase's father, who happens to aware about his sexuality and defends his son from all that homophobia he had faced. He realized he's been to caught up with work instead of paying attention to his son's needs. While their preferred music genre focuses on devils, demons, and witchcraft, heavy metal kids are usually friendly and welcoming. Feel free to accompany them to a Mastodon concert. Just know what you’re getting into before you start moshing. The Normal Kids That Act Totally Insane On Social MediaNot to be confused with the drama club kids, the dramatic kids look for any excuse to make a scene. They break up with their significant others in big, vague social media posts, and they’re constantly feuding with their friends.

The joke keeps getting worse. Last year's pledge was made by more than 500 European airport operators who promised to "drastically slash their greenhouse gas output by 2050" - but only including airport infrastructure, of course.

The Overachievers

Some of them are also AP kids, but the dedicated drama kids are too consumed with the school’s upcoming production of Arsenic and Old Lace to hold down a better-than-perfect GPA. The Dramatic Kids Who has two thumbs and still collects Pokémon cards in 2019? These kids do (picture them pointing their thumbs at themselves). Something as simple as foregoing your car to switch to bicycle: that bike still needs to be made with a multitude of materials and paints, assembled and disposed of responsibly. The bike, as with any other product, is not a completely greenhouse gas emission-free object. In short, every product and every activity in the modern world has an environmental cost and the argument as to what is acceptable needs to be a grown-up one. We can't condemn everything and yet we need to be aware of the consequences of all and how we can influence that balance by making informed choices. That is what we hoped to achieve in this series of articles. Jonathan Wilson, online managing editor 'You've got to make the science fair as exciting as the football final': Dean Kamen

Give them a few years, and they’ll drop their rap aspirations and take an internship at their dad’s investment firm. Mumble rap might be their passion, but it doesn’t pay the bills. The Drama Club Kids Big Man on Campus: Chase Lewis, Greenview High's star athlete on the basketball team, rich, handsome, popular and dating the most popular girl in school. He's well liked and respected by everyone. Young people began proudly identifying themselves as “geeks” and “nerds,” and nerdy culture grew to encompass not only academic and technological prowess but also traditionally “nerdy” activities like reading, gaming, and enjoying fantasy/sci-fi media like Star Trek and Dungeons and Dragons. Today, “nerd” isn’t nearly as stigmatized as it used to be, and people within nerd culture wear the title like a badge of honor. Cameron was succeeded by Theresa May, who seemed the ultimate safe pair of hands, with her grey hair, the daughter of an Anglican priest, married to an investment manager, MP for Maidenhead, educated at a women’s college in Oxford. No one could have been more different than Boris Johnson, regarded as untrustworthy and the ultimate cad by his critics, unreliable, duplicitous, choosing between two articles about Brexit, the biggest political issue of his day. To his admirers, Johnson was clever (Greats at Oxford), funny, a people’s person, who was elected twice as Mayor for London and won the biggest landslide since the 1980s.

The Kids Who Hate Everyone Else

Prep” or “Preppy” is a subculture that became popular in the mid-20th century until it evolved into what it is today. In the 1920s and 30s, magazines and films started to advertise a “preppy” look that came to be associated with specifically the elite students on college campuses, which is sometimes called the “Ivy League” style as well. Lovable Alpha Bitch: Emma is a preppy popular and lustful cheerleader with standards, but she's a likable student in Greenview High School. Most teenagers enjoy the occasional video game, but these kids think that video games constitute an entire culture. Maybe they’re right—they spend hours online each week talking to their friends on Fortnite and Apex Legends, so it’s not like they don’t know how to socialize. At school, they talk about Twitch streamers and show no interest in anything that doesn’t have some sort of tangential relationship to their favorite games. They’re happy. Let them be.
