At least at the high school I went to, everyone who fell into this category were spoiled rich kids using mommy and daddy's money to get high on cocaine and ectasy and go partying every weekend. These were the kids that were handed a brand new car at 16 and never had to work for anything in their lives because their rich parents gave them everything.   I recall your own story about your formerly hot high school bully becoming a whale and you shitlording her, lol. Honestly, as much as I didn't socialize much in school(I can count the number of times I hung out with classmates outside of school on one hand) I must say that it was nothing like the TV or movies or your school even. Like maybe in your day it was(mayber that's where these producers nowadays go it) but at my high school cliques were just people with their own regular group of friends without and Mean Girls-esque social hierarchy, cheerleaders and jocks were just regular people and only wore their uniforms and varsity jackets when they had a game or something unlike how they always have them in the movies.  As for games, I was told by several classmates that people mostly went there to post Instagram pics. And of course, no breaking out dancing like in High School Musical. Plus like nerdy things like anime didn't automatically make you unattractive or an outcast, heck one cheerleader in my art class actually watched Naruto before. I had tried clubs too(drama, dodgeball, writing, and wrestling) but at the time I didn't feel anything click, like I didn't feel what was suposed to make this the best years of my life that I would yearn to have back. Plus I had no car available or a license until late senior year anyway, and I never found any friends that I clicked with, this being compunded both by Aspergers and the fact you had your SJW folks on campus with this being California. Plus unlike all these Disney Channel flicks where almost everyone is real good looking, TONS of people at my school(athletes and cheerleaders included) were fat. Like holy hell, fuck that nonsense in teen media where the fat girls get bullied, these fuckers were pretty much accepted as part of the population. Even teachers who were ex military were fat as hell as was one of my personal counselors. As for bullies, there was no noticeable movie style bullying and only 2-3 fights I saw personally and for me I just had this fatass Filipino kid who would say racist things to me and was notorious for harassing girls and being a communist sympathizer. Sorry for the rant, a bit off topic but long story short, modern high school is alot different from past high school/TV and is especially due to surplus in fatties.
