High School Social Groups 101

I went to a high school in the northern suburbs of Chicago. This school was huge. It consisted of six buildings with three floors connected together and around 4,000 students. Thankfully the school was large enough that we all got our own lockers. What caused us to not use our locker was not our social classification but class location. Anyways, The best place to see all the different social groups was the cafeterias (yes plural), student lounge, and courtyard. No matter which place you went to you could find a wide variety of social groups with the keyword being groups. Like any social group they didn't mix. They would all group together and socialize at any chance they got. The only terms I remember that we used to use for identifying the different groups is jocks, preps, artists, goths, druggies and weirdos. From what I remember female preps didn't sit with the male preps and female jocks only sometimes sat with the male jocks. But the male and female goths, druggies, weirdos and artists always sat together. It was the same with many other in between groups the males and female would sit together but the preps and jocks almost never mixed the two sexes in their groups. There is an exception to this though. When it would get warm out students would go out to the courtyard to eat and that is one of the few times that the male and female preps would come together. After school the common gathering place for the jocks was the gym wing, for the preps it was the student parking lots, artists gathered in the art wing, goths simply disappeared, druggies went to a park that they called 'the log', and the weirdos gathered in the main lobby. It has been so long since I have been in high school. I don't remember much more than that. The only other thing that I can tell you is that I started out as a mild form of a prep and slowly made my way to the weirdos. The weirdos were in to role playing games and anime.
