They may not be the best students, but they’re always entertaining. This student likes to make everyone laugh and is always joking around. A good example of the loner is Seth Cohen from The O.C. Or, they may have tried to make friends but doesn’t have the social skills to do so. They may be shy or have social anxiety and can feel out of place at school. This is the student who prefers to spend their time alone rather than with other people. An example of this negative stereotype is Paris Geller from Gilmore Girls. They often don’t have many friends because they’re abrasive and even the teacher finds their know-it-all attitude abrasive. They often butt into conversations and make others feel unintelligent. This student thinks they know everything and can be very arrogant. An example of the slacker is the character John Bender from The Breakfast Club. This student doesn’t seem to care about their own education and doesn’t have much of a vison for their future. They often sleep in class and skip homework and may even skip school whenever they have the opportunity. This is the student who doesn’t care about school and does the bare minimum to get by. An example of the overachiever is Rory Gilmore from Gilmore Girls who obsesses over getting into an Ivy League university. They can be perfectionists and can be quite stressed out by their desperate need to be the best at everything. This is the student who is always trying to get straight A’s and participate in as many co-curricular clubs and extracurricular activities as possible. A good example of a rebel is Ferris Bueller from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. They might feel as if the teachers don’t like them or the way the teachers deliver lessons is unappealing and doesn’t relate to their lives. The rebel often defies the norms and rules because they feel disempowered by the school. They often get into trouble and dress in a way that stands out from the rest of the students. This student doesn’t care about school or what others think of them. The kids on High School Musical are all positioned as theater kids in one way or another.

These are the students who are always at the top of the social ladder and have lots of friends. An example of a nerd in popular culture is the character Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory. Nerds are often the subjects of jokes, but they usually have the last laugh because they end up being wealthy after school and peak later in life, and some nerds embrace the term as a positive stereotype. They often have minimal social life and can be bullied by the jocks. This student is typically very intelligent and spends most of their time studying or doing homework. An example of a jock in popular culture is the character Andrew Clark from the movie The Breakfast Club. They usually have a macho attitude and can be bullies.
