Don't you forget about me

Teen movie stereotypes I have never encountered in real life :

Asshole Jocks : The jocks in my school were always either real chipper from working out, or real sleepy from working out. Never saw one abuse anybody, ever.

The real dicks were the kids with money, and absentee parents. These kids may take a sport or two to dress up the college application, but they were never really the jocks. Would somehow spend a lot of time clogging up the weight room, yet would exhale sharply when they had to pick up their backpacks.

The Hot Assed Cheerleader You Want But Can't Have : Anyone who wasn't aggressively challenging to their status quo sensibilities could and did have them, no sweat. Furthermore, not really that hot. Hard to get that excited over a girl that willing to give that big of a shit over essentially nothing.

That One Special Inspirational Public School Teacher : Every public school teacher I've ever met as a student or later has been a feckless, unquestioning, bureaucratic slug, which makes sense because who the hell else would put up with how badly they're treated as a professional class. Public school teachers are not in that job because they give a shit, they're there because they thought it would be something else, and they're too entrenched or afraid to move on. When a teacher who does gave a shit shows up, the first thing they do is leave for a private school where they get to do more than babysit. All I ever learned from my teachers was the indirect lesson of "you get what you pay for."

The Noble Nerd : If you're an outcast, you're pissed off. If you're a smart outcast, you channel it creatively. If you're an intellectually gifted but otherwise dim outcast, you build pipe bombs in your parent's garage and leave a suicide note that tries to get the post-mortem attention of your true love, that pasty chick from Evanescence. She, by the way, was likely a cheerleader, and wouldn't have peed on you if you were on fire.

Real stereotypes that I saw a lot in life but never in the movies :

Johnny Law : There are kids who know they will be cops right from go. You can't miss `em. Lips move when they read, fond of the buzzcut, not fond of asking questions. Get very upset if you fuck up the Pledge Of Allegiance in homeroom. Will, without fail, try to put their tongue in their buddy's mouth if they get drunk enough because, paradoxically, "queers gross them out".

The Chipper, Funny Goth Kids : I went to three high schools. Every single one had a group (or 'murder', or 'mope', etc...) of goth kids, and almost all of them were gregarious, funny people. The doom thing is a put on. If you have to be told that, you should stop trying to put your tongue in your buddy's mouth when you get drunk, and ponder quietly to yourself why you dream about those truncheons and uniforms so much.

The Egyptian kid : There's always one exchange student from Egypt. Just one, all by himself. He's always very pleasant, thin, well dressed, polite, quiet, intelligent, and clearly loathes everything we are, believe in, and stand for, to it's reeking, barbarian core.
Oddly, always quick with a spare pen if you need one.

The Very Non-Faggy Gay Kid : Started shaving at age 14. Into Zepplin, Van Halen and Sabbath. Built his own car from a kit, knows what the fuck a Dremel tool is and does, and is as unapologetically gay as the day is long. Will call you a fag if he catches you drinking a lite beer. Quick to point out that the Spartans lived in a homosexual culture. About 50% of all the gay kids I knew.
