Ok the point of this poll is to see what you "social circle" you lot mostly fall into, and to see if there can be a mix of different groups getting along and not being "labelled". Because where im from (England) you can get judged by people just looking at you for example: The clother you wear, the way you walk, music you listen to, where you go and even how you wear your hair!

Every1 knows what im talking about but i think people do not address that this has taken over some people's lives!

However im not sure if this is as much of an issue where you lot come from majority: the states. But in the South East England i think its very controlling to some teenagers,


Ok now ill describe each of the Poll Choices :

im using music also to describe the groups as we all use different names/labels

Skater/Punk:
This doesnt Necessarily mean you hang around skate parks exc, you could just listen to the music with your friends in you house. And the clothed usually are Baggy...everything
Music Category
:Rock, Punk, Grunge, nu-metal, light metal and more...

Goth:
Here i am referring mainly to people who walk around usually covered by black with black nail varnish and a white face, normally looking depressed, even though i know some of the happiest goths you will ever see!
Music Category
:Metal, Death Metal, Black Metal, oh and im not talking about copper and steel...

Kev/Townie:
Teenagers who usually wonder the street thinking there "hard" because they under age smoke, drink and do drugs - very sad. Most of them can be abusive and violent. most of the people round my area are "wiggers"
Music Category
:Hip-Hop, Lame Rap, R'N'B, Dance exc...

Gangsters:
Im not sure if there will be many in this game, but im talking about real gangsters, the ones who usually appear on Cops and so on wearing "bling" from head to toe. Dont Vote on this poll unless you know you are a gangster and carry weapons into the night... otherwise your a wigger: ^See Above^
Music Category
:Real Rap, Battles, Hip-Hop and more..i think.

Brand Boy:
Quite Self-explanitory. you dont follow a group, you may hang around in one but you feel somewhat of an outcast. Im mainly talking about people who wear Gap jeans and nike,adidas exc
you may not have a certain music category but listen to a vast variety of music

Independant Women/Man!:
you may have a group of friends but you each are different doing your own thing, although this is very rare among teens with high skool groupings and peer pressure and what not.
like a brand boy but you'll never hang around with other groups just your own "Independant friends" alot like a brand boy but some differences... no music category.

There you go Folkes a vague description of the "groups" some go much deeper then this, but thats all i could think of. If you have any suggestions to a certain group please post then to make it more clear to further Voting..

Oh and i musnt Forgot, I most likely fit into the Group "skater/punk" because many of my friends are like this and you know what i said about peer pressure.. :p
Although my music type is mainly metal, i have never wanted to look or act like a goth.

Please Vote, some-what important thread me thinks. :biggrin:

OK i see how some people may fall into Independant,
But please dont everyone choose that category because you dont want to be "labelled" because we all know we are.
Spank you

Im a G from the block and play no games.

im a brand boy/independent :buttrock:

why is there no geek or nerd in there because as you can all tell thats what I am

Saijin Ryu: the same thing happens here in the states. People are put down, outcasted, and beat up for what they wear or act. I read through that list and i really didn't see a group for me. I hang around a group of friends (10-15) and we kinda all do the same things...thats how we became friends. I definitely dont hang out with people who put others down. When my group sees someone getting put down or even beat up we stick up for that person and invite him/her to hang with us. I guess you could say were popular (please dont take that as bragging) and known around the school.

Peer pressure doesnt affect me at all..i have my own mind and dont put up with anything..i guess you could kinda consider me independent..but kinda not...

im a whigger from essex aint no shame in it as long as u really are hard hehe but i only drink and the odd joint...or 2:D

me im more like a gangster because my family is all gangster and i act like one but the onw that like computers :)

Nah, That song "Play No Games". I loved that joint.....

meh english people are patheic i can tell your kinda of personality in england people catorgorize people......thats just ignorant

i guess id be more to the kev side with a twist though i ant got the mentality most my friends have though.

I'm an all around kind of guy. being in a particular "group" doesn't suit me one bit. In my school, everybody has some connection with everybody else, so technetlly, we really don't have "groups" in our school, except for the jerks that want to be in one or have they own group.

Depends on the group.......

I guess im a computer junkie gangsta quiet nerd :shocked: or just independent because im a quiet person that can easily blow up.

^^blow up^^

lets hope not..that would leave a big gooey mess!!
and why are people so independant i find this hard to believe as most of the people i know follow a group?

oh and please more people post i like this thread...it makes me smile.... :)

for u toher 2 ppl that r gangsta whats good, what popping in hood

Oh to answer you question..
The things popping in the hood are.. NotSilentKiller


blow up..he he..hood......errr Muffins!!

... for get i read that

Well, I picked Independent. I don't like being in a group because they always end up turning on you.

I like all kinds of music. It changes as my feelings change

I'm sort of a loner.

I prefer to wear baggy jeans with a tight shirt(not skin tight but not loose).

I keep all anger inside and try not to burst out but i sometimes do causing ppl to cry. Ppl think of me as a quiet little girl. They just better not get me mad because soner or later it will just all come out.

I don't smile. Smiles are fake. I have a serious look on my face ppl often think i'm mad(often true) or depressed.

I like being around ppl but i don't like them coming too close i often step back when they step forward.

Ppl don't often notice me. But if you describe me to them they will know who you are talking about.

I'm smart and let ppl cheat off me because I really don't care. who knows when i will need to cheat off them.

School is beginning to get on my nerves.

im a all around geek.....
(cracks into school server and changes spanish grade :p )

none of the above....some people see me as a "gangsta" or whatever you may call it, but im just a pretty normal person who wears the top of the line designer clothing(like southpole and nike air force, timberlands, new era caps, etc) and who also uses street slang as a part of everyday life :biggrin:

Everyone moves to a different rythm, it's just that some people think there's is better than others.

I get along with everybody, I will decide that I like you before I know you, unlike most people who say the opposite. You can't judge how good or bad a person really is by looks and stereotypes.

Always thats not true at all.

meh kinda make me feel sad for ya after all that stuff you posted ....meh i ant a smiley dude at all but not all smiles are fake....

you seem to have some serious problems with people. And its makin you streotype people. Or maybe its somethink else.

I like being alone but it helps to have friends.
:D

Ok seriously all the people who are alone..
Go out and find some friends!!
go anywhere! maybe the nearest club which you like, where there could be people with the same likes and dislikes as you.

But seriously its all good to have friends online, but when you dont have real friends in normal life it kinda shows how depressing you life can be!!
So dont be depressed! eat a muffin occasionaly and make friends!!
