  • We've all hated different types of people we're forced to be around in HS. Here's the worst of the worst, from the tea spiller to the social media lord... 🥵

I mean, hate is a very strong word. But seriously, here are some truly awful people you come across in high school. Let us rant about them together. 😈

The tea spiller

They know your thoughts before you know them and will spread them like wildfire before you can even say the word 'gossip'. They know everyone's business as if they're a fly on the wall. You will always hear them say "I promise I won't tell a soul" and yet the whole school knows the secret the next day.

The real tea spillers I hate are the ones who love to twist the truth. I was once flicking at a scab in class in front of one of them (I was just getting off the bits falling off ok?!) and she told my whole grade that I eat my scabs. That never died out. 

The scab

Speaking of scabs, this is another person to avoid. "Have ya got 50 cents?" will be engraved on their tombstone.

When the scab is lurking around the canteen, avoid them like the plague as you'll end up somehow being manipulated to give them all your spare change and you won't be able to afford your own food. If you dare try to deny them, they'll call you the stinge

The debbie downer

I mean, the whole goth and emo thing is kinda dead, but the essence of that lives on through the downer. Like, they may not have black eyeliner and listen to 'Welcome to the black parade', but they are always in a neg. They just can’t seem to say anything nice about anything or anyone. 🙄

They throw a pity party for themselves almost every day, and their mood can bring you down in a second. Eek.

The flexer

This is always my response for them:

Me: When

Flexer: When what?

Me: When did I ask?

Most of the time, the flexer is showing off how much bank their 'rents have even though no one asked. They'll talk about their trip to Europe, the car their mum's buying them or flat out their parents' annual salary. This is the person the scab needs to be stinging from, not me!

Other times, the flexer shows off their good looks, or their talent in surfing, running, dancing. They remind me of the Greek myth of Narcissus... 💪

The social media lord

If they never posted it, it didn't happen, right? 

I mean, we respect the social media hustle. But what we don't respect is being tagged in the most horrendous pictures possible. R.I.P. being in a group project with them because they'll spend the whole time figuring out future Instagram captions instead of helping.

The competitor

If they got a better mark than you in a test, run. Run as fast as you can. Because you'll never hear the end of it.

Everything has to be a competition. You only got 6 hours of sleep last night? Well, they only got 5 hours of sleep. You're learning the violin? Well, they can already play three instruments. Did someone compliment your appearance today? Well, they were scouted last week to be a model...

They think they can beat you at anything, and they’re not afraid to let you know. Pure chaos being around them.

The seducer

You hate them because they played you. They play everyone. 💔

You may be reeled in by their charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent but at the end of the day, they're a big fat player. Flick them to the side like the insignificant bug they are and move on! There are plenty of fish in the school. 😂

 

But hey, being around people like these for five days a week is character building. Have a laugh at the scab using new techniques to nab a buck or the competitor's veins bursting when they lose, and just hang out with your mates -- the people you don't hate. 🥰
