... by Nada Surf, listen to this song if your in high
school [im not in high school anymore.... over a year ago I
finished]. This song is pretty sweet, the video aint bad
either, but I see the video as it should be like a school
shooting or something evil like that.. really well done.
This song is great..... download it.

got it.

Very good but it makes my speakers go mad. Hmmm... odd.

The vid fits the song very well, without being a lame satire
off jocks, frats and all that other crap you americans seem
to have at school.

Its not the same at all. Have you been to both Canada and
America? Especially Western Canada? How can some people in
the world be so ignorant about the rest of the main
countries!? Dont you people learn stuff in school?

"jocks, frats and all that other crap you americans seem to

hm...... canadian schools don't seem to be quite as
segregated in that way as american ones (at least where i
live)

that is, from the impression i get from tv and americans
themselves

my school doesn't have little groups of jocks, nerds,
bimbos, goths etc....
people seem to be more spread out, i guess

Shit my old high school was about 2000 people and there were
TONS of people in large groups that had smaller groups
within.. you know like the closer friends and stuff. but all
part of bigger :same: groups. I was in that shit too man, I
had a blast! My high school was like some Nation Lampoons
movie or something... classic stories everyday.

i agree, there are a lot of differences between
canada/america, which a lot of people dont see at first...

...but can u think of a country MORE similar to america than
canada? :)

Points: 8864 Status: Regular



Aminal: no not really, but we are very different as a
country... Ive been all around America 2 times and ive been
all around Canada a few fuckin times and I know large
differences, obviously in law and the people/system. And
personalities range anywhere so its hard to really say....
but everything down to the grocery stores, music shops, road
signs.. all thats stuff, different.

ya i know, ive been to the U.S. a few times too, i agree
with u

im just saying, to people who haven't... i can understand
how the 2 countries could look really similar

VERY shit.

Well, for a start they are called secondary schools. My
school is located in the grounds of this old abbey. The
school building is cool, but some of the people are complete
dickheads. Its more black and white here. Barry/townie or
scater.

However, in sixth form, its much cooler. All the idiots go
and the cool people are left. Its a much more laid back
attitude.

Although american culture is seeping through now-a-days and
its slowly turning into a high school. Damn you saved by the
bell!

I hate cliques and all that crap... imagine defining
yourself and your life in such a limited way... I'm a
''skater'', I'm a ''goth'', I'm a ''prep'', and having to
limit yourself to the rules of your group... ick. I always
hated that shit.

Who says you need to limit yourself because you are a prep
or skater? thats their choice, in other peoples eyes id see
myself as a prep/style guy with shiny clothes, boots and
nice pants or jacket..... I mean..... so people could label
me a prep or something I guess, but I know what iam, just
me..... Im all over the map.

I don't know many people who are very interesting... people
basically limit themselves or risk being ''uncool'' or
something. it may just be where I am, everyone knows
everyone else, reputation is so important... people try
extra hard to fit in and be ''cool''... makes me want to
vomit...

The skaters spend all their time skating and smoking pot,
the preps do whatever it is they do, the goths act gothic...
there doesn't seem to be a middle ground.

Actually, it's not quite as bad now that I'm in college... I
guess that was mainly high school. Although there's still
definitely the cool/uncool thing. You ahve do look and act a
certain way, which I don't. College students are no more
mature... they just think they are. Apparently drinking
makes you a man, cuz once people get to the legal age, it's
all that seems to matter...

There was a middleground.. the people who really only smoked
a little pot [my schools name was Scona, so it was nicknamed
Stona, for many years.. many many] and well, everyone smoked
pot... right next to the drug central of the city at the
time and still now...

it was a great place to go, like i saw it was like a movie..
everyday.. great times..

the preps did their thing... everyone did, its not so wrong
what do you expect? its only normal that people form groups
of a like people and do their own thing whatever it may be.

Ophecks, I totally agree with what you said about college
students and drinking. There are still cliques here, "cool"
& "uncool" people.

The fact that you mentioned that song brought back a lot of
memories. I haven't heard it in such a long time. I
remember it quite well, the video too. I liked it back when
it was popular.

well, the vines are good. I do like a bit of rock and indie
