So, I've been watching "Glee" on FOX.
And I'm an unbelievably huge fan.
Sure, even at the performing arts high school we don't go around glancing at music and then bursting out into song at such things as "smashing the window out your car", but some aspects of the shows are very true in high schools today. Social stereotypes do exist. We do have the jocks, the popular cheerleaders, the outcasts, the extremely smart people who have been degraded for their brains, the pregnant girls who don't know what is going to become of their rep, and the theater kids. Boy, do we have theater and music kids.
For we are the performing arts high school.
And even though we don't have sports, or after school clubs, or cheerleading practice, the same social stereotypes exist at our school as well.
And just like the kids in Glee club, we are accepting.
We are forgiving.
And we help eachother through. Be it through kind and thoughtful words, through uplifting pop songs, or merely by keeping busy.
We are a family. Families care about eachother and take eachother for who they are.
For who they were meant to be.
Nothing more, nothing less. That's the Glee and Booker T way.
