i was just thinking about the stereotypes that always go around, and how funny and oddly accurate they are sometimes.
i live in northern california, and everyone says that around here we say "hellaa" all the time. which is pretty true, when i think about it. it like has replaced the word 'really'. its pretty out of hand, but its so accepted by now. i personally dont say it, but im so used to it.
and there's supposed to be tons of valley girls all over this state, and idk about that one. i think there's that valley girl type everywhere. but i guess so, they're everywhere around here. especially the school i go to is pretty conformist, if you're not this skinny and wear these clothes and have this much money, you're out. and its pretty sad. i envy schools that are accepting. :/
/end rant. ANYWAYS. :]
what's the stereotype of your state or area, if there is one? or is your school like mine, obnoxiously snobby, or the opposite?
Well, I live in eastern WA, and I think the west side has a tendency to think we're all just a bunch of small town, simpleminded, inbred hicks. haha But, we're not! People also think that everyone on the west side are a bunch of Starbucks-drinking tree huggers who worship Death Cab and Nirvana or whatevs. Ah, I love my state. lol
As far as school goes, I don't think my college has a stereotype. Which is good. lol
See? Nothing scandalous. :]
I will take that banana. Thanks. :]
I live in NC, near Charlotte. And everyone must think that we are all country and frankly, we're far from it. Every now and then you hear someone with a prominent southern drawl, but most of us are accent-free. And my school - wow. As long as you look cute and your not sporting some badly dyed hair, your pretty safe. Everyone will always be nitpicky, but usually, my school is pretty chill.
I live in England, I like in a little town called Doncaster, well conisbrough but doncaster is the town centre, Anyways everyones always calling it Chav Central, I dont know if you guys will know what chavs are but its like full of them haha! I have nothing agaisnt them but they can be jerks and Beatchs! But anyways yeah! Lol <3
I live in Southern California, so I know exactly what you're talking about Heather!
My high school was REALLY bad. But it didn't just end at the clothes you wore, it was like if you didn't own a nice car or your family didn't own a beautiful home you were shunned away. It's kind of sad, hahahaha. I guess I'm used to it because I was born and rasied here, so it's "what I know." I was blessed with a really social personality so I really didn't care who I talked to and what they thought about me, so I made friends with lots of different people.
I also think that California as a state has a "fake" stereotype from people who have never been here before, because of Hollywood and plastic surgery, ect ect ect. It's quite sad but what some people don't realize is that the majority of people who live in California have never gone under the knife, hahaha.
