So, being as we play teenagers, and Jim and I have already had this conversation, I was wondering what high school stereotypes were present in high school for the rest of you.
For me, I had none. Most of my friends are still dating or have married the first or second person they dated in high school. We never had super forced clicks (I hung out with cheerleaders, band kids, drama geeks, football players, loners, stoners, etc.) And during my time in high school, most of us spent our time either drinking or doing drugs. So much so that I drank during class on more than one occassion and even had a teacher toast me because he knew my pinapple fago was a lie, because his cola fago was a lie. Note that this was different for every class, who you spent time with, etc. I had never witnessed people flip flopping from relationships though, save for those deemed whores, and we spent a good deal of time partying like we were fresh to college. If you were single, it wasnt strange to sleep with whoever you pleased and the like, but it was always the hope to have that one. Mind you, this is from what i remember. Another player here went to the same high school and might remember different things. May have had a different experience as we spent time with different people.
As a secondry question, how do you think it effects your rp? Does it at all? And if not, why doesnt it?
For me, i look at the high school stuff that goes on and think its madness lol i dont understand why people are hung up on relationships for their characters, when my character still ponders how she can effectively smoke weed without it killing her. She wants a relationship, but would rather spend time with a jerk for the whole of high school then go through the gambit or be alone. Much like i was in high school.
The reason i bring this up is because in our conversation, jim and i realized just how vastly different our experience in general was. I was wondering if it is the same all around, or if im just the odd ball lol
You dont have to post specifics, even if you post at all, though i look forward to the convo. I just wanna know if there were super clicks for you, or was drug use a thing, or were relationships a dime a dozen. I think it will help us as a group understand why things are played a certain way from player to player, as we all pull from our experiences for the most part.
