The Stain

Rather than using the traditional categorization of people into their normal high school cliques, I prefer to use a more original system of categorizing. Instead of using the original hierarchy of “popular” to “nerds”, I like to break people up into a different type of grouping.

Using this method of classification, a person can belong to multiple different groups and fit snuggly. I have previously, and will always, refer to the “popular” girls as CLONES. They are clones because they all look the exact same and act the same, in the sheer efforts of remaining better than everyone else in their own minds.

Now, everywhere you go there will always be that girl, the one who is the most annoying thing in the room. My new category is called

The Stain.

A stain as we all know is annoying and no matter what you do you cannot get rid of them. They are always there!

Luckily I have the opportunity to observe the stain members on a daily basis. I have multiple stains in my composition class. Some find the need to comment on every single word that falls out of the teacher’s mouth, they answer the teacher with anecdotes even when there was no question, or even real reason to speak. Some find it necessary to cling around a group of people (unwantedly), like a little puppy that has no clue that they are really not needed in every situation. Some feel it imperative that they are the main focus in every conversation…. Good work, you are now the focus of this post. You have captured my attention; we are now all talking about you…. It’s just not good.  

The wonderful thing about this new hierarchy is that you can belong to multiple groups rather than just one. A Clone may very well be a stain.

These stains need bleached out.
