Array ( [sid] => 26454 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Contradiction to Arden's [time] => 2003-11-04 19:07:43 [hometext] => I am considered a "prep" and I want to show people that preps are more than "mindless Idiots" as people such as arden may think. Maybe if you all read this you can see things from my point of view [bodytext] => I laugh at the interpretation
of what people call a prep
For judging someone before you know them
is not a good concept

The true meaning of a prep
is slang for one who attends preperatory school
But people who do not know this
assume that preps are people
who think their cool

I am a prep
and all my friends are too
we care about real things
not who has the best shoes.

We work hard in school
and set high stands for what we want to be
but yet we like to have fun:
play sports and have parties

Its actually kind of funny
to think we respresent superficiality
that is not the truth
for all that is a fallacy

We care about ourselves, yes
but we care about other things too
We do not care only about our looks
as you may think we do

Im sorry for those who think preps are snobs,
conceited, carefree, Barbies

But I take offense at this
and other preps do too
So next time you attempt to judge us
You're not defining us....

You're defining you [comments] => 5 [counter] => 158 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Serendippitty [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

AMAZING! Point proven! I guess you could say I thought a bit on arden's side...... MIND--- I never hated "preps" or thought very negatively..... I just thought they were so.... seperate from myselft.... You've made me see that people who I think are so seperate from me are really not that different at all. You've shown me so much through this poem, I thank you profoundly =)

Love Joy and Peace,
jellybellyprincess

I really like this poem, I went to a catholic school from k-9th grade so i guess that you could call me a prep and all the other people i went to school with are too. And they really are just like everyone else. And i really hate it to when people stereo type peoplee. it's wrong. But anyways this is a really good poem, keep up the good job.

Nada personal to anyone but I agree with both sides of this story. Both sides honestly stereotype. I witnessed it from being neutral and not getting involved. I don't think either side is willing to give anyone outside of them a real chance. Maybe it should be tried for once by everyone.
