There are caste in high school, the popular one most of them called jocks are in the higher and highest level while the lower class, mostly nerds or good boy/girls.
Jocks is a classic North American stereotype of a male athlete. Usually they 'rule' the high school along with their popular girl, and not only in US, but also in my country, Indonesia. They usually do whatever they want for example bullying schoolmate they considered as nerds, loser and so on. They usually think they're strong, cool, and popular, plus they don't care about their academic stuff.
Nerd is a term often bearing a derogatory connotation or stereotype, that refers to a person who passionately pursues intellectual activities, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests that are age-inappropriate rather than engaging in more social or popular activities. They usually considered as uncool people and usually, the higher class won't even see their existence. Nerds could be those who study all the time, those who didn't join any sport clubs, or those who aren't popular.
There are one unique statement that crossed my mind recently. Jocks are one of those who 'rule' the school, but know what? The world are being ruled by nerds! Can't believe it? Should I say, Bill Gates? Mark Zuckeberg? James Walles (founder of Wikipedia)? And the genius Einstein?
Be ware Jocks! Be ware you popular kids. Your reign won't be long! Enjoy it while it last. You geeks and nerds, stay positive! You could rule the world. And you could rule the jocks too.
Well, I never say jocks can't be as successful as nerds or nerds and geeks will always success. To become someone in the world (meaning: success), you need more than lucks! You need to work hard and have faith to achieve it. Cheers!
