its just the fact of highschool, if you want to be in the "in" crowd, you gotta dress the part and act a certain way - "drinkin, partyin and doin all that shit." when I was in high school atleast though, there was a pretty good mix of skater, jocks, and "g's" in this group, did really matter how u dressed, just how you acted. The key here though, is that if you want to bang the hot bitches, you gotta party, plain and simple. hate it or love, but thats the way it is... or at least was for me in HS.... and I wanted to bang hot bitches!
