How high school on television and high school in real life are totally different!
For example, in real life high school:
  1. No one gets swirlied or slurpied
  2. People who hate you don’t ruin your life forever
  3. No one has a truly evil arch nemesis
  4. Everyone coexists, having friends in many friend groups
  5. There are no salad bars or swimming pools
  6. Girls eat
  7. No one has classmates who have superpowers
  8. Good athletes aren’t always attractive
  9. Nerds are not pathetic and useless
  10. No one is cool enough or rich enough to have a party for the entire school
And in high school on television:
  1. The lockers are HUGE!
  2. People always breakdance in front of the school and on the tables in the cafeteria
  3. Friend groups are clearly defined with no crossover
  4. Cheerleaders dress in uniform every day, both in school and out of school
  5. Chemistry class always involves goggles and mixing chemicals
  6. Everyone hates gym class
  7. Jocks and cheerleaders always date
  8. Parents are either your BFFs or your enemies
  9. Choreographed musical numbers happen every day in school
  10. Relationships always involve serious drama!
