Bored Panda reached out to the Redditor The_Nomadic_Nerd who is originally from New York but currently lives in New Jersey. He shared this post in response to the thread: “Friend groups are more porous than they make. For instance, there were football players that also acted in school plays, or wrestlers also in the math club. The bullying is less dramatic. Nobody is actually getting locked in a locker. We did actually use those red cups at parties that you always see in movies, my non-American friends were always shocked when I told them that.”

When asked if there is anything that Hollywood gets right about American high schools, the Redditor said that they did actually use those red solo cups at parties. “Foreigners I know are always shocked by that. What did they think we use? They’re not fragile like glass and if you lose it, it wasn’t a problem. Plus, you could easily just throw them away when you’re cleaning up after the party.”

Americans Reveal 28 Things That Are True And False About High School According To Movies A weird thing is how they seemingly show it as if kids just have time to talk and chat in the middle of the day in the hallway by their lockers when in reality you're booking it across the building because you have 5 minutes to go from the first floor, get to your locker on the second floor, and then run all the way across the 3rd floor to your 3rd period class.

Also dunno about y'all but I got only 25 minutes for lunch in HS, so nobody was milling about during lunch either in the halls.

My highschool was only two stories. But it was a half kilometer long. It took about 10 minutes to walk from one end to the other, if the hallways were clear. But it was a school designed for 3000 kids, but actually serviced just under 6000. So the hallways were never clear.

That seems crazy to me. We don't even have cafeterias in Australian schools usually, just a canteen/tuckshop which doesn't have tables and chairs and is usually in a separate building and you order though a window. Lunch and recess you have to stay outside, unless the rain is heavy, then you have a 'wet day timetable' and the library and 2 or so classrooms are open and you can borrow chess sets, uno, magazines, or play games on the computer etc.

Talk about booking it.... my HS had 6 floors and a basement with classrooms. My English class was in the basement followed by my next class of History. Guess where THAT classroom was? Yup on the 6th floor. 5 mins to hike my a*s up 7 flights of stairs. Talk about winded! Even for a 16 year old athletic type, it was a beast! They had an elevator but it was for faculty & wheelchair bound students only (and the occasional busted ankle or leg, which I discovered after powdering my right ankle playing ice hockey!)

I hated that. Especially when your just finished a shops class and you have to pack up your stuff and the next class is way, way on the other end of the school and there's still a crowd to get through. My class complained to our teachers about giving us some leniency. Running is not allowed and would still make us late. Any socializing would be during free periods, and that's if you and your friends have the same time slots.

This person must have gone to a small school. In an average school you get 1hr for lunch. It's the only way to allow the larger student body time to que, get their food, and have time to eat it. If you were first in line then you may even have time to both eat and socialize with friends.

You got lunch time? We had a 20minute brake after the first two classes at like 9.25. and then only 5 minute brakes that weren't even enough for bathroom breaks since there was always a line (girls & boys WC). We finished classes at three pm the latest. Oh and once you took a step in the building itself you weren't allowed to leave without a parent (even those 18yo seniors). After the last class we weren't really allowed to hang around (no classes? Go home. Now!)

We had 3 minutes between classes. 20 minutes for lunch. No recess. Our high school had three separate buildings, and this was in Maine (the Northeast corner of the US) so a good part of the year the ground was covered with snow and ice. People were always late to class. But the adults didn't want to give us any time to talk together between classes........no time for trouble making. This was in the 1970s.

I don't remember exactly how long we had between classes but we had like 50 minutes for lunch hour. It was in same room as the auditorium. We could get up and hang outside that room or hallway when were done. Classes were upstairs with locker pits downstairs so, we usually carried books for multiple classes to save time. We also had a smoking section outside.

Pheebs 1 year ago

My first HS gave us about 5 minutes to grab books and get to the next class. It was a smaller school, so generally doable. If the school had been any larger, absolutely not. My 2nd HS did the 4 classes a semester thing (8 classes a school year), so we had ~2 hour classes with 15 minutes between classes 1/2 and 3/4. Lunch was between 2/3, for the entire school (roughly 1500 students) and was only 45 mins. If you didn’t bring a lunch with you, there was rarely enough time to stand in line, get lunch, and then eat it. The lunchroom also could only hold about 300, so the rest of the students were left out in a courtyard that was frequently too hot, or crammed in the covered walkways when raining. Most kids chose to eat a light lunch during one of the 15 minute breaks. I hid in the library a lot, and just skipped food.

Canada here. We had 7 minutes between classes and the lockers were in huge common room for each grade. Those common rooms were locked when classes began, so he had to take all the necessary materials for the morning classes beforehand. We could only go back to the common rooms for lunch (1 hour) and repeat. Not a lot of time to talk between classes, but ample times at lunch. I'm aware it varied from school to school. My younger brother always had access to the common rooms between classes in case a student forget something.

I went to a large HS in the 70s. We had an hour for lunch and if you drove you could eat lunch elsewhere. Our dress code was no bare feet. Since some classes were in another building top floor the bell between classes was long enough to grab a quick smoke, allowed on campus. shout out to Grimsley HS.

We had a little time to chat. That being said, my graduating class had 18 people, and the school wasn't multiple stories; barely one story.

Moreover, The_Nomadic_Nerd confirmed that in some cases sports are very important. “All those TV shows about high school football in Texas are absolutely correct. Not uncommon at some high schools for the football coach to get paid more than the principal, or the Friday night game being what the whole town goes to. Other regions or specific schools also have their own sports, like Iowa and high school wrestling. Usually, if a school has a history of a good team, then the town starts to revolve around that,” he explained.

Another thing movies get right, Redditor argues, is that feeling of getting a driver’s license. “Once you get it and if you’re one of the first to get theirs, your social status automatically climbed. I was one of the older kids in my class so I got my license before most, and all of a sudden more people wanted to be my friend. Weird how that works…”

The Redditor also said that there is this notion of when you’re in high school, it defines the rest of your life. That may be particularly challenging for students. “You don’t have a girlfriend in high school? When then you’re going to be lonely the rest of your life. You didn’t get into honors math? Well, then you just have a permanent tattoo that says ‘IDIOT’ on your forehead.”

My high school in SoCal took up an entire large city block. All the classrooms were ground floor, with two entrances. There was a large parking lot. The gym had indoor and outdoor pools, as well as the basketball court, and the cafeteria, assembly room, and theatre were in separate buildings. Seniors could get a lunch pass to eat off campus. We also had designated smoking areas—-and this was in 1978. I graduated in a class of 828 students. Multiply that by 3, and you have an approximate number of students in the school (back then we didn’t have middle school, we had junior high, which was grades 7, 8, and 9, so high school was just grades 10, 11, and 12).

Americans Reveal 28 Things That Are True And False About High School According To Movies I went to high school (obviously) and teach at a high school, all in the United States. I went to a suburban school in California and teach at a small town school also in California. Here are my observations.

Things foreigners often think are fake that are real:

-sports are connected to school. There are people who wear uniforms on game days, there are rallies, and there are school rivalries. They aren’t usually as serious as depicted on shows, but they are real.

-cheerleaders do exist. They wear uniforms on game days as well (not everyday.)

-yellow school buses exist (where I teach they bring students in who live in the country. Kids who live in town walk, drive, or get dropped off.) (Red and other color plastic cups also exist, as a side note.)

-some kids really do have cars at that age. Most probably can at least drive.

-“student government” or “student body president” is often a real thing, but it has little power. Basically just a student committee to rubber-stamp whatever the administration is going to do anyway.

Things foreigners often think are common that are fake or exaggerated:

-being a cheerleader or an athlete are not nearly as exclusive as depicted, nor do they automatically equate to popularity.

-cliques are far more fluid than depicted. Rarely do they automatically center around one activity (like football or band or chess club.) It’s not at all uncommon for people to do a lot of different activities that blend stereotypes (like a football player who is a chess club officer and in student government.)

-bullying is rarely anything like it’s depicted. It’s rarely done in front of everyone with bystanders not caring. It’s more common to be done in secret, and to focus on emotional rather than physical bullying (although physical bullying does happen.) I think movies and shows are trying to capture what it *feels* like (that no one is there to help you) and missing what it actually looks like in reality.

-everything is way more boring and less dramatic than depicted. Fiction requires conflict and so tv shows and movies create it even where it probably wouldn’t actually happen.

I was fairly uncool but my little group of girlfriends were cool (Homecoming Queen, which mattered back then) and cool-adjacent. I just didn't always go do their Cool People Stuff with them because it wasn't my thing.

And by senior year the cliques and ladder had broken down nearly completely. Everyone was focused on what came next, nobody cared about popularity c**p anymore.

So I'd be sitting around with all sorts of kids, swapping tips on different colleges, proofing each other's essays, different other kids would be telling me why they were interested in the military, I'd let the Cosmetology voc ed friends of friends put my hair in updos during lunch (it was elbow length, so loads of fun), etc.

Especially if it’s an area with lots of company headquarters and an abundance of highly educated professionals in residence. If it’s the middle of nowhere with no industry, no higher education, and no local prospects for your future unless you inherit or marry into the family farm or business, then many kids would just think school’s a waste of time—-an attitude learned from their parents.
