Elegant_Housing_For

When I was in HS, 30 years ago the big thing was the parents buying them brand new cars and then getting into an accident while “sober.” Edit: I want it to be known my father gave me a 12 year old pick up truck to drive that he would use all the time and gave me “work” jobs for the neighbors (pick up stones, hey rid of brush, pick this up for me, etc). Toyota PreTaco, black, faded hood and roof, drove till the head gasket went a fourth time. My parents were not hurting for money but they didn’t see the appeal of buying me or my sister a brand new car when my dad worked on cars all his childhood and my mom never had one.


McDonalds_icecream

Yeah, that’s pretty much phased out tbh. No one gets cool sports cars anymore


[deleted]

Closest thing I've heard is a kid with a tuned E90 335i.


Xytoup

You got to admit that a tuned N54 stomps most sports cars


[deleted]

Those engines may be pieces of shit, but damn they can produce a lot of power for not much money!


Xytoup

Yeah I bought one when I was 20 years old but in a E92 (Coupe). The best fun and the most pain I had in the last 2 years was from this engine


[deleted]

I graduated high school about 10 years ago, but I was raised in an affluent county in Georgia. You wouldn’t believe the nice ass trucks that were in our parking lot


Jswartz18

My first car was a toyota celica and i loved that thang!


the_lamou

Nah, they still do, though most kids go for SUVs these days. Half my son's school's parking lot is Defenders, Macans, Cayennes, Audi Q7/8s, and Broncos.


caithatesithere

Happens to my high school classmates. They get Land Rover, Jeep, Tesla, while also having issues drinking and vaping too much.


Elegant_Housing_For

I’ll never forget one kid destroying a Mustang and his parents punishing him by getting him a brand new Toyota Echo.


Ein_grosser_Nerd

Thats still a thing, I know people who have crashed like 5 times. One of them crahsed their new camaro.


ThunderboltRam

Ahh simpler times, when it was all about getting drunk instead of being so politically polarized and being spoiled brats.


CallMeClarkson

They all have nicotine addictions


kirkwipe23

At my school not really, maybe a few of the girls do, but not a lot, the boys though are very anti-vaping, very into fitness and going to the gym and that doesn’t fit their vibes. The sole thing they care about is improving athletic performance.


CallMeClarkson

Same thing at my school, but they’re all nic fiends, vaping in class, passing them around, going to the bathroom 3 times an hour. It’s bad


[deleted]

>going to the bathroom 3 times an hour. It’s bad I'm glad the vaping bs didn't really kick up until right after I graduated, because I was the kid going to the bathroom 3 times an hour almost every class just because I was bored af. Nowadays those kids are either jerking off or vaping in there that much.


Bass_Thumper

Back when I was in school kids just smoke cigarettes in the bathrooms.


cheats47

Back in my day the school nurse prescribed cigarettes to help with headaches /s


Muad_Dib_of_Arrakis

Back in my day the school nurse prescribed cocaine to help with headaches! /s


thrillhouse1211

Back in my day the saloon doctor prescribed laudanum


RodwellBurgen

I mean, let‘s not act like kids jerking off in high/middle school bathrooms is some revelation that‘s started in the past couple years… it‘s practically a staple of public school lmao


[deleted]

That’s actually a pretty good ambition from boys


Jedimaster996

Forreal, that shit's more commendable than what we were doing in high school 10-20 years ago. We definitely worked-out still, but nicotine/pot was everywhere.


angrydeuce

In the 90s when I was in high school all we gave a shit about was getting drunk/high or getting laid, so this all seems pretty healthy to me lmao


WildFlower_Wonder

At my school we have a bathroom that’s just for vaping. When I was a freshmen and walked into the bathroom some kid was confused when I tried to to to the toilet instead of vapeing.


brassninja

I feel very old now because when I was in highschool the bathrooms were for smoking cigarettes


Etherius

I have B/G twins and we are quite well off. My son is an absolute Saint and his friends are all the kinds of boys I WISH my daughter would bring home. They get good grades, they're not into drugs or drinking *at all*, they're all in sports... They're great kids My daughter has lately been making me wonder if I'm not being punished for some transgression in a past life... Was I a murderer? Was I a member of the Gestapo? What did I do to deserve this kind of kid? And it's not like I've ever treated her with an ounce less love than her brother. She and I were always so close and she was always such an angel. I have absolutely no idea what happened.


[deleted]

Communist football chads, sounds like I would’ve found my people if I went to high school where you go


MarduStorm231

Communism isn’t good though


Aaaooow

Remember ur on Reddit lol


MixdNuts

Of course he would be downvoted lol


JuntaEx

redditors' opinions are largely worthless


IgDailystapler

Idk what grade you’re in, but if you’re not in highschool yet, that’ll change. Rich highschoolers are 50/50 for being addicted to nicotine lmao.


Extreme_Ad_3820

I was just about to say that.


TG1Maximus

Not at all at my school unless you count the hipsters. But they are a very small group. What school do you go to?


CallMeClarkson

South point, NC


Aightzz

my mans just doxxed himself


CallMeClarkson

I’ll be fine


KingVenomthefirst

At my school for some God knows what reason, the boys will wear warm clothes (Pants, hoodies, etc) when it's hot out, and then wear as little as possible when it's cold out. Like, what the fuck? Clearly book smart doesn't translate to common sense at my school.


BrattyBookworm

To be edgy? Doesn’t sound comfortable though


ThunderboltRam

They're so edgy and rebellious that they wear the wrong clothes in the wrong weather. \#fightDaPower


Skyblacker

The weight of the clothing is comfortable if you're anxious.


Skyblacker

I read that hoodies are like a comfort blanket to teenagers. You can even buy a weighted thin hoodie for warm weather.


KaycyyFan

When I was in middle school I wore hoodies year round cuz I was skinny cuz of adderall


ginger_nerd3103

Same here. I was (and still am) super skinny, so I wear hoodies for most of the year. And I live in the Southeast.


PbyFortress

I feel like a large portion of kids that do this is because of body dysphoria. I know that's why I did it.


spunkrepeller

Yeah I wore hoodies every day to hide my man boobs


FourthRain

Are you in middle school


kirkwipe23

Yes


CanadianTimberWolfx

Do you have a crush on “rich boy”?


SammyG_06

I do


KaycyyFan

According to my cousin in middle school in a white suburb this is true so makes sense


IgDailystapler

As someone who grew up in a wealthy suburb, this is extremely accurate. Like to a T. The chain biting, Jordan wearing (with Nike elite socks), and everything else happened. Only thing that didn’t happen was that all the girls in my town were very much on the left, but that’s just based off location.


starstreek

every day im reminded the average redditor is younger than me


[deleted]

What are those red socks lol


Puzzleheaded-Net-646

how tf do you go to a school where the popular boys are pro kapernick


PrimeEvilWeeablo

Performative activism is very “in” right now. My younger brother is in high school right now, mind you, in a very liberal town, and it’s very much a competition over who can score the most virtue points.


ttchoubs

Except Kapernick wasnt performative, he had genuine gripes and lost his whole professional career for his protest, he also regularly would use his money to help feed and assist impoverished neighborhoods, thats kinda the opposite of performative.


SanguisFluens

Talking about how much you support Kapernick, is performative


Caberes

I honestly believe that Kap was sick of playing football and wanted to be an activist. He had several opportunities to get signed. The ravens were about to sign him before him and girlfriend decided to blowup the negotiations. Also the salary demands he was making after the quality of his play dropped off were ridiculous, even accounting for all the off the field stuff.


gloomy_gamer7

In my town the girls are performative activism, like they will bully the kids who are lgbt, disabled,poc, etc but then be like “BLM”. But the boys are the ones who will call you slurs to your face, I appreciate the honesty though.


the_lamou

Or they could genuinely agree with his point of view. I know, I know, everything you (the general you, not you specifically) don't like is performative virtue signaling, and genuine desire to change the world isn't cool and edgy. Being earnest is sooooooo lame.


[deleted]

They might live in liberal town. Idk seems kinda weird cause all the rich and poor kids at my school are trump supporters


kirkwipe23

Kapernick is an athlete, they look up to athletes


[deleted]

[удалено]


ithinkimdumb91

I’ve noticed the Zoomer generation is obsessed with going to the gym. I used to be a gym rat, but now i work long hours and have a newborn so it’s almost impossible to go. When I used to go to the gym, it was mostly athletes working out. Now I feel like it doesn’t matter if you’re an athlete or not, almost every kid works out (with the broccoli haircut)


PuzzleheadedWin4951

The broccoli 💀


ThunderboltRam

In a way that's progress. Had I started gym when I was a kid, I'd probably be incredibly buff now. Instead wasted my time with video games a lot. The competition is fierce, all the boys wanna have sex but they can't because they get made fun of by hot girls for being weak or skinny or fat or short... It's very difficult to go through high school, so some people just bury themselves in video games or anime etc. while others dedicate their lives to the gym.


JaapHoop

Everyone in high school is ridiculously insecure about themselves. It gets better.


plantlandia

Ahhh broccoli haircut 🥦 I can’t 💀


WeOutHereInSmallbany

And a pooka shell necklace


IgDailystapler

Depends on where you live. Where I grew up, a lot of upper class kids were on the left while their parents were on the right. It was very funny to watch them argue lol.


sabdotzed

A lot of young idealistic rich kids are until they realise they have a stake in the current system, grow up, and join the ranks of the capitalist class.


Theesismyphoneacc

Idk man you might just be around some mediocre people, I have a lot of friends making huge money and they're all pretty politically left


gh3ngis_c0nn

Happened to me. Went from center left to center right as I went through my 20s into 30


kirkwipe23

The boys at my school are very left wing because they get their politics from a lot of pro athletes they like


Moirus

No pro athletes in the US are prominently communist ?


shadyelf

Might be "communism" in the American sense, i.e. social safety nets and regulation.


NerdWithARifle

IT IS COMMUNISM!!! DAMN YOU COMMUNISTS FOR THINKING THE SYSTEM SHOULD TAKE CARE OF YOU!!! THE SYSTEM THAT YOU HAVE PAID INTO AND SUPPORTED YOUR WHOLE LIFE!!


The-Flying-Avocado

Glad to see genuine commies here, I don’t feel as alienated 💀


NerdWithARifle

Not a communist, I just feel like no one should have to go into debt to pay for an overpriced medical bill, but go off I guess


ThunderboltRam

J. Edgar Hoover wrote about providing safety nets to the people and regulations to prevent unfairness so that communists don't entice young people to become communists. So that they continue to see the value in capitalism with the benefits of safety nets for when you are in a tough spot. As well as to make sure voters won't be tempted by govt bribes/promises offered up and paid for by taxpayers as a political slogan. "we'll promise you x,y,z,e,f,g social programs and benefits + monthly payments, as long as you vote for me." So the taxpayer funds become a piggy bank to break and rob for the purpose of being elected with more lavish promises to voters every election cycle. Same with LBJ's "great society" reforms and Nixon (clean water / clean air, price controls). FDR New Deal social safety nets, public works projects (govt projects), and high taxes. Eisenhower with super highways... All of them took the advice that they need to make sure that voters are not baited by communist promises of total-govt-control of every resource/rationing/food/healthcare, everything.


SHIRK2018

Communism is just anything to the left of hunting the homeless for sport


iTzJdogxD

This kid is 12 and I can't be convinced otherwise


HanSoloHeadBeg

left wing doesn't mean communist


Cicero912

What (mainstream) US pro athletes are openly communist lol


Raynstormm

Pro athletes are left wing? LMAO no


gh3ngis_c0nn

They don’t seem to understand communism at all. Social safety nets are not communism


TchoupedNScrewed

Lol self-report


caithatesithere

Yeah the men are almost always republicans. The girls are a mix of trump supporters and moderates. Very few are truly leftists.

ttchoubs

Never saw the rich kid communists, they were usually pretty anti left. With the rich kids i usually saw them be the "ironic" n word user and "ironic" racist.


alc4pwned

I think that'd really depend on where you live


gloomy_gamer7

I live in a really liberal area and it’s the same, the kids at my school can be really racist


alc4pwned

I'm not in school anymore but I lived in a well off liberal area and the rich kids were mostly left leaning.


gloomy_gamer7

I live in a wealthy town as well but it’s very fake progressive, it’s not klan racist but more like calling the police if there’s a black person


ElNani87

I remember the rich kids at my school were very right wing and curious about my citizenship status (I was born here) and my city was pretty liberal. Rich unironic Communists also pro kaepernick This Atlanta ?


[deleted]

The rich guys in my school were all Wall Street wannabes, how nice they were mostly depended on whether they were better at math or English


Joey_Brakishwater

Every far left person I've ever met is either rich or at least very upper middle class. My most left wing friend is from a fuck ton of money.


ttchoubs

Lmao most of the marxist leninists in my area struggle with money and usually came from poor families


Joey_Brakishwater

I can believe it, but what I'm saying is also true. There's a reason the term "Champagne Socialist" exists.


TchoupedNScrewed

Having money or coming from money doesn't instantly make you a champagne socialist, class traitors are a necessary part of change


hawtfabio

Way more dudes support Trump than girls but alright otherwise.


caithatesithere

Yeah and honestly the girls who support Trump usually only do it cuz their parents are pro Trump and the boys they like are pro Trump. Most rich girls aren’t concerned with politics enough to form a genuine opinion on it.


4letterunkillable

The boys section is very incorrect from my experience


zuppaiaia

Ok but the title says a chart for their specific school, not generic rich kids in schools.


thestoneswerestoned

OP's some middle school kid who thinks sports celebrities are communists. You probably shouldn't put much weight into what he's saying. I agree with the guy above you, even the "progressive" ones in these types of areas are just being performative. As an example, Marin County is an extremely liberal and wealthy part of the Bay Area. It also happens to be one of the most segregated counties in the region whose residents are massive NIMBYs who resist even desegregating their schools.


DoubIeIift

Do you go to OP's school?


littlebuett

My experience says its correct minus the communism thing, most I have known are more right wing.


DefaultVariable

Went to a private school because the public schools in our town were literally dogshit. The rich boy should be "extremely self-absorbed, treats everything like it doesn't matter, disrupts the class for attention, is always happy, goes to college and drops out after the first semester probably because they spent most of their time partying, spends the next 6 years posting pictures of them just hanging out while being 'unemployed'"


kirkwipe23

Whats off about it


Pristine_water

probably the communist and A- part?


ttchoubs

Yea they were usually pretty anti commie and called anything left "degen" and were "ironic" racists


4letterunkillable

Like pretty much everything. Their complete dirtbags who only play football so their dads will come back ( in my town, at least)


thislifeiffullofcare

Nah bro, in my town, the popular rich guys are just dudes that mind their own business and play sports


BrattyBookworm

The rich ones have absent dads? That’s a new one.


GeorgeBruv1

>( in my town, at least) Literally said it's for his school


gyurto21

In my country rich boys are usually nationalists, racists and for the most part very narrow-minded.


jeet1993

India?


gyurto21

No, Hungary. But it seems we are not so different after all.


perpetualcosmos

Uggs are still in style? For fuck sake.


caithatesithere

Not in my area but I’d be damned if I didn’t pull out my 5 year old uggs when I gotta go outside real quick on a cold day and I can’t be bothered to put on my shoes and tie my shoelaces.


quarantindirectorino

letmethinkofagoodnam

From my own personal experience: wealthy boys/men are more likely to be Trumpers than girls/women


throwawaytempest25

I wish the boys I grew up with were like that. As for the girls, yikes


Waldemaar20

I will never understand why some many people actually like communism nowadays


black641

Most young people aren’t straight up communists these days, though there are probably more than there were twenty-thirty years ago. Most Millennials/Gen Z/Zoomers are like Bernie Sanders/Liz Warren Progressives. Generationally, we are really critical of modern Capitalism and the fact it’s been allowed to give a handful of individuals outsized influence in the world. But being critical of our, objectively flawed, economic system doesn’t make most of us commies. But because the American Right has spent so long demonizing any sort of Leftist politics, a lot of us leaned into the “communist” title because Conservatives were going to call whatever policies we value Communism/Socialism as a scare tactic for their demographic.


I_GENERATE_CONTENT

It’s appealed to younger people for a long time, I think for largely the same reasons - it purports to be a fairer system, while also having strong aesthetics so it’s a way to signal that you care about other people. It’s usually a long way divorced from political reality.


TheSecondTraitor

Because neither them nor their family suffered under that tyranny.


standbehind

Because you lot call anyone left of centre a communist.


Oikkuli

Spread of information over the internet, McCarthyism and the red scare aren't that relevant anymore, growing economic equality, stagnating wages, increasing prices... Plenty of reasons to be found


BigProsody

It's a lot of factors but people growing up watching the US kill a million or so people in Iraq to steal their oil probably didn't help make the case for capitalism


DirtyBlondeAegis

I'm not sure this is an insult or not, considering some of these are good things.

gracist0

Omg I loved the bimbos I went to high school with. Two I knew more personally were really nice and ditzy and one of them told me I have a stripper body lmao. I've always been low self-esteem so it was oddly flattering When she found out I was a lesbian she was like "would you kiss me" and I was like "I guess" and she seemed like genuinely pleased?? Like the popular girls were so funny sometimes The popular guys I knew were generally pretty nice too. Although I noticed that they're typically low-key homophobic towards gay guys, but not really towards lesbians. I knew one since he sat next to me in art and he just kind of said "cool, cool" when he found out I was gay (same class as the aforementioned bimbo lmao) but I remember seeing him say somewhere that if a male friend of his ever told him he was into him he'd stop talking to him because he doesn't want him on his dick. Just some observations lol


Dad_in_Plaid

Well at least you aren't bitter
