are preps bad??, ??? Options

[xo_lovalicious_x...]

well me and my friends go shopping at abercrombie, hollister, AE, Pac Sun, Aeropostale, Express, wet seal... well you get the point... and some girls at my neighborhood tell me i goto where all the preps go... well, i think preps are not that bad because i'm already half prep or more but is it really bad?? because some people just hate hate preps and stuff i'd call myself more girly than prep... well do you think preps are bad or their okay or are they cool??

[aubbob]

lol..um i think preps are ok.
some here are a little hmm stuck up.
but its all good.

[xCrys]

it depends on the prep :)

if the prep has a good personality, then the meaning prep wouldn't register in my mind.

if they had a bad personality on the other hand....

[SarahxJoy]

I pretty much only consider someone a prep if they're stuck-up and think they're better than everyone else.
But shopping at any place you like for clothes you enjoy to wear doesn't make you a prep.

[xo_lovalicious_x...]

yeah.. well if you see in movies or something, preps are like popular, and their always mean to people and stuck up and stuff.. well i'm not mean except to the people who hate me and stuff soo.. i'm all right.... right??

well some people told me they beat you up in middle/high school... o.O

[SarahxJoy]

I don't think "preps" are the people who usually get into fights. At least not in my school.

In any case, why care so much of what others think about you? If people are going to judge you beacuse you see, "preppy" then they're missing out on making a new friend. Just do what you do and be yourself. Labels are overrated.

[Skyline Drive]

I think it just really depends on the way you carry yourself. Just be who you are. Don't let your clothing determine that.

Most young preppy people tend to be good looking and dress nice and for some reason (immaturity) think they can be pricks to everyone who isn't. That's what is usually bad about them.. eh. Who cares.

[xo_lovalicious_x...]

well thx but i mean,, well i'm just wondering because some people just like hate them and stuff and well whatever

[RCcola]

it is not bad to be prep, you should be proud of it. but just because you shop at the prep labels does not mean that you are a prep. you just dress preppy.

prep is an attitude.

i believe the only type of bad person is a poseur.

[bballchick1]

I think it's more personality, not the way you dress.

But maybe that's just me...I wouldn't define a prep as one personality or another.

[OhMyAnniee]

don't sweat it, i shop at all those places you shop at. just cuz you shop at the " prep " stores doesn't mean you are one. i mean, i shop there cuz the tops they have are made with a more comfortable material. but you should know that those people that told you this .. they have probably shopped there themselves!

[lalalaLANUH]

Bah-if you're personality is preppy then there's nothing wrong with that. Clothes shouldn't make you a prep. I myself don't label because there are too many exceptions, but for the most part the preps I know are cool.

[n_Oodles]

Depends. I know some really nice preppy people but than others are just bitches.

[AngelinaTaylor]

Yeah, like, I mean, they're, like, honestly, like just evil.

[*Kathleen*]

Yeah, like, I mean, they're, like, honestly, like just evil.

They, like, really, like, ARE! I AGREE.

[mznikki]

it depends on the prep really some are real bitches and others aren't

[SarahxJoy]

More like, some people are real bitches, and others aren't.

[ANG33ZY]

lol are you serious.

anywhoo, just be you.

[BrokenDream]

it really depends on the attitude of preps. if they are stuck-up, bitchy, and etc.. yes they are bad. >_<

[AngelinaTaylor]

And one more thing. Being a prep doesn't mean you are a bad person. stage...hopefully.

No, not a bad person.. but very, very annoying, and, most times, just plain stoopid.

[Ington]

I don't care whether or not preps are good people. Their attitude towards life bothers me. Their image and clothing annoy me. And so does (most) of their speech.

So really, whether they're bad, good, in the middle, it doesn't matter to me. They disturb me before I even get to know them, and that's that.

[*suddenly she*]

there are arrogant, stupid, intelligent, and annoying people in every stereotype.

i think it's kind of judgemental to classify "preps" as bad. a group of people can't fit strictly under "bad" or "good," or even "preps, jocks, goths, skaters, punks" and so on.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

screw the labels! Be what you wanna be, not how others want you. If you like being a prep, fine keep it up. And no I don't think being a "prep" is bad.

[clarity]

lol..um i think preps are ok.
some here are a little hmm stuck up.
but its all good.

yeah thats how they are here.
but some of them are my friends.
actually one of them is my best friend.
but i'm not a prep, or would ever be able to be called a prep.

[colleen92]

Yeah, like, I mean, they're, like, honestly, like just evil.

well i just don't like them because even if they start out as an innocent trip to abercrombie...somehow the end up evolving into stuck up bitches who think they're better than everyone else. this doesn't go for everyone...but most. so watch out. and don't become a bitch.

[tbabbyx3]

its all good in the neighborhooood B)

[vn_cuti3]

sum preps r ok but then those kinda preps aren't populer. but most preps thinks theyre all that i HATE those kinds

[ima_fake_]

first off pac sun is not I REPEAT NOT a preppy store... its PIMP im NOT a prep and i shop there like its my job that and hot topic but im not a goth either umm i dont like most preps prolly cuz all the ones at my school are rich stuckup little sluts that think there hot but really everyone just talks about them behind there backs like its there job. soo yahh no offense to anyone but preps are not my favs..... AT ALL

[broken inside]

I've never liked prepiness. To mainstream for me.

[xo_lovalicious_x...]

wellll yeah well for people who said bad things about them,

it's prolly kozz u guys never like.. um fit in before?? like in the popular plc?

but if u do, soon you'll forget how preppie they are and start liking it...

i sooo mean it. kuz ok, at school, i'm like kinda prep/girly n in the in group

but in other places, when i see preps, they're like me except i don't hang out wit them,

and they look SUPER annoying!

so when you're friends and fitting in with them, you don't even realize

how annoying/stuck up/ or preppie or whatever you are

and when your looking at them, you realize how preppie they are...

yeah don't get mad, just my oppineion..

[pedophile]

wellll yeah well for people who said bad things about them,

it's prolly kozz u guys never like.. um fit in before?? like in the popular plc?

Not really.

Anyways, I don't think being a prep has to do anything w/ going to A&F & Hollister on a regular basis.

A common misconception is that a prep is someone who shops at American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister and pariticpates in school sports and activites. A prep is actually one who attends a prepatory school, usually on the east coast, comes from an old rich family and dresses in labels like Ralph Lauren and Lacoste. A prep wears sweater vests, plays tennis, is a country club member and is destined for a top Ivy League school.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=prep

Um, anyways, some of these preps are ok, but most of them look annoying to me. Oh, & it also irks me how these preps think they have good fashion style but yet wear what every other prep wears.

[torey]

Why the hell is this thread still open? Why the hell are you stereotyping yourself as well as others? Why don't you just stop and realize that you are yourself? It's called originality, my dear. Okay, you shop at American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch, Aeropostale, etc. This does not make you a ''prep''. Look up ''prep'' in the dictionary, but do not look at the ''slang'' entry. You'll find out what I prep genuinely is then.

You know, I cannot help it.... I am praying that one day all of this stereotypical bullshit will end.

[SuperNaziPanda]

It doesn't really bother me at all.

[monxcheri]

preps aren`t bad. i mean, i guess some are, but most aren`t. i`m talking about classic preps though. *as in you go to martha`s vineyard in the summer/the hamptons, play tennis, go to prep school, etc.* "modern" preps might be different.

[jue]

I don't mind preps. But sometimes, not saying this to ALL people who are preps, but some of them can be really concieted at times.

[Chad_man]

Im a prep, and I think prepy girls are cute too lol, basicly, lifes better prepy lol. Well what im trying to say is most people prepy are nice colorful people not emos


EDIT: ^^ I agree, but no offence.

[*This Confession*]

it depends on the prep :)

if the prep has a good personality, then the meaning prep wouldn't register in my mind.

if they had a bad personality on the other hand....

exactly that.


It matters how you come about being what they call a "prep"



although you do sound kind of full of yourself.

[`SWTWiNKLE3YES]

preps are alright .. just some of them are REALLY stuck up and yeahh people here arent really friends wid them if theyre like that..

[colleen92]

wellll yeah well for people who said bad things about them,

it's prolly kozz u guys never like.. um fit in before?? like in the popular plc?

but if u do, soon you'll forget how preppie they are and start liking it...

it wasn't until last year that i became friends with people in "the group." and at first it was great ya know and then i realized how bitchy they could be. and then they pretended like i wasn't good enough for them because i hated abercrombie or whatever. by the end of the year i was so sick of it and i can barely stand being around some of the people i used to hang out with. so that's the story.

[marzipan]

......well, you can't really call them bad. some are stuck-up, like certain cheerleaders i know. i'm not a prep, but i like preppy clothes. i hate cliques and labels like this, but some of them really are stuck-up.

[ichigofan]

Y do people categorize themselves through what they wear, its just a style of clothing..If you like what your wearing then wear it !

[lllUrban_PrePlll]

i hope their not bad.
i dress preppy but not completely, i dunt think i am personality wise. my friends don't think im stuck up or anything like that, so thats a good thing.

[Looow]

YES.

I hate seeing those A&F/Hollister/American Eagle girls with their sunglasses & flip flops (when they sun isn't even out) & they're perfectly highlighted blonde streaks & their ripped up jeans or skirts. "Likeomg. Ew

They're BOPS who are stuck up, superficial, materialistic, shallow, & annoying.

This is one of those things you just CAN'TTT change my opinion on.

ditz, bitch, slut, concieded, self-centerred, world revolves around them. generally posers go to lots of parties wear such expensive clothes as Hollister, American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch, Express, Armani Exchange, and shop at Victorias Secret for bras that they dont even need because they are f**king size 'A.' Also spend way too much on makeup like Bobbi Brown when they can look just as skanky with Mabelline

HAHAH, i love that.

[monxcheri]

wellll yeah well for people who said bad things about them,

it's prolly kozz u guys never like.. um fit in before?? like in the popular plc?

but if u do, soon you'll forget how preppie they are and start liking it...

i sooo mean it. kuz ok, at school, i'm like kinda prep/girly n in the in group

but in other places, when i see preps, they're like me except i don't hang out wit them,

and they look SUPER annoying!

so when you're friends and fitting in with them, you don't even realize

how annoying/stuck up/ or preppie or whatever you are

and when your looking at them, you realize how preppie they are...

yeah don't get mad, just my oppineion..

this one is a big example of a wannabe prep. pathetic much?

[Looow]

first off pac sun is not I REPEAT NOT a preppy store... its PIMP

Sike. It's pimp. PACSUN? Please, kid. PIMP? Hahahha. Alright.

[*This Confession*]

I agree with helllla jankyyyy.

Pacsun is pretty "preppy"
Sorry to who ever said it was "pimp"

aparently you need to go to a urban dictionary and see what that means.

I decided to do it for you

A pimp finds and manages clients for a prostitute and engages them in prostitution, often street prostitution, in order to profit from their earnings. Typically, a pimp does not force the women to stay with him; he may also protect them from other pimps or abusive clients. Pimping is a sex crime in most jurisdictions.

So you dress like a person that manages clients for a prostitute?

Wow

[*suddenly she*]

This is like asking "Is macaroni bad because it's different from the other types of noodles?" =.=

Seriously. These labels irk me. I mean, I shop at AE. I like A&F jeans. I'm not a prep. Come on now.

i like macaroni.

i also think i get stupider in the evening.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

WERD ROBBI! WERD

Labels are okay as long as people don't take them seriously. You know what I mean? Like this kid is in his own "punk" clique and they just start labeling people and hating on them D: uhh I don't make sense

[breakingdawn]

"prep" isn't hollister or abercrombie or american eagle.

prep is ralph lauren or lacoste.

[JTHMjulia]

Labels are death. I really hate them. And, unless these girls are clones of each other...I don't think you can classify them into one big group. you have to diversify the names you call them

I agree to the fact that not all rich girls who wear expensive clothing are bitches who think they're better than anybody else...actually...I know a few that are decent. What I can't stand are the clones that follow them around...trying to be sooo much like them that also irks me greatly.

At my school...what you consider "preps" are a bunch of ditzy girls who are shallow, rich, spoiled, and just plain STUPID. I sit in class with a bunch of them...and I have to stop from shooting myself. it's that bad. They're are a few, though...that are pretty smart and arn't that bad

I'm not a prep....
...I prefer to call myself "unique"

[monxcheri]

"prep" isn't hollister or abercrombie or american eagle.

prep is ralph lauren or lacoste.

THANK YOU!

[Selv]

I don't hate preps but i certanly never be one because i hate hate hate hate the style (not the people)

[ktsou11]

isnt preppy just a style and preps are people who sport that style? so you cant really say preps are bad unless it's like you dont like what they're wearing.

[soo x nyc x]

yeah i agree. it depends on how the prep is. like some of them are like the biggest ones but the nicest too. and then theres some who are snobby and bitchy and stuff

[Psychotic]

It depends how they are. I have some best friends who are preps But, I hate some

I'd never be a prep though

[lightsabersavvy]

i think if youre shopping there for the pure purpose of buying clothes that you enjoy and not for the labels, it makes you a better person. :]

preps arent so bad once you get to know them. but they are VERY clique-y and always go to the bathroom together. bahaha.

[demolished]

In my definition of prep, prep are people who dress all nice and treated people like crap.

for an example ... a girl w/ tight blue pants, wore a popular name brand shirt, bad attitude, bitchy eyes, and hella shallow.

If she dress like a prep and have GREAT personality, i would think of her differently. (in a positive way)


-------

so yeah ... it's the personality that counts.

[sw33t_rouge]

wellll yeah well for people who said bad things about them,

it's prolly kozz u guys never like.. um fit in before?? like in the popular plc?

why are you labelling yourself.

[Jinny]

preps arent really bad.
except sometimes theyre just really stuck up
depends on the person & the personalityy.

[Intercourselyts]

^How Aren't there other people in the world that have AIDS that are classified under the "prep" category?


Personally I don't go along with the whole sterotype thing. I like to just be myself and thats it. And for the people that go around sterotyping themselves I personally don't understand or like the opinions on things. Also their normal people to give them the benifit of the doubt so you can give them a chance, and if they really do have thier own opinions and don't follow the crowd and as well not stuck up about what they wear or what they do then yea their good people.

[ubeonmymind]

depends on the person but i think sum preps are cool =)

[stephee]

Im a prep.
Always have been.
People will hate on you just because you can afford nice clothes.
Preps are usually known as being little miss perfect, with perfect hair, & perfect grades.
I am proud to be a prep, and you should too :]

there's nothing wrong with it, preps arent any where NEAR being losers.
Preps are usually very popular.
Join up with more preps for more popularity.
Be nice to everyone, even if you dont want to.
It reallly bennefits in the end :]

xoxoStephee

[ksoyeah]

Nuu way. xD I personally think it's a label that people think is bad, but isn't.
I mean come on. All of us label at one point in our life or another. xD

--honestly though, appearance means everything in high school and stuff, everyone judges you, and it's totally not right. :[

Yeah, the freshmen preps are so mean in my school. They always tell me off. :[

Uhh, sorry to rain on your parade, but you're not a prep.

You can type :) Kinda.

[*x1227x*]

why are you labelling yourself.

^
I dont think preps are bad, I just dont like the ones who I see at malls. All mugging and stuff. I can already tell they dont like me. Lol.

[miiichellley]

I dont like stereotyping. But no, not all of them are bad. Just the ones that completely look down on you and don't talk to you at all if you're not one of them. Now that's just disrespectful.

[evaleen]

I f**king hate labels. Why can't people just be themselves and not categorize eachother?

You're not prep. So you sholdn't think you are, or believe others when they say you are because they don't seem to know what prep is either. If you like the sterotypes, then I preps are usually the people who are rich, snobby, etc. Just like what other people said. Yeah, there's the sure few who aren't bitchy, but hey. What can we do for them? Preps aren't bad I guess, just stuck up.

I want to know something though, do you think you're prep?

[y0urelectrikk]

I hate the stereotypical prep.
some are alright though.

LMFAO!..... sorry I found that freakin hilarious.

[coconutter]

Well, i guess it depends on what you would call a prep, I'm considered a prep just because my family is "well off" and I have nice clothes. Most girls aren't truly preps to begin with, my ex-best friend is considered a prep, but deep down I know she's not really.

[radhikaeatsraman]

J. Crew and Ralph Lauren are pretty swell stores, if I do say so myself.

[lili29]

yeah.. well if you see in movies or something, preps are like popular, and their always mean to people and stuck up and stuff.. well i'm not mean except to the people who hate me and stuff soo.. i'm all right.... right??

well some people told me they beat you up in middle/high school... o.O

the part where they fight ...well they dont at my school it's the opposite they start stuff but dont have anything to back it up since they are OVERLY girly they i guess dont want to get themselves dirty or whatever and in a fight and plus most of them cant fight whem i was in middleschool one of them bitches was mad because the guy she liked was going out with me.... i couldnt help it that he liked me and not her and she never told any one that she liked him anyways u get the point the dumb whore shaving creamed my locker at school well i had every spanish and black person after their asses because their lil group was all in it ... and i have to disagree with preps being the only ones that are popular my "click" at school is just as popular as any "prep" and im labeled at school [now im in highschool my senior year] as latina which means i am girly becuase i like to look good for my man and for myself i can afford nice clothes [but i just dont like them prep brands no offense] but when it comes to fighting or anything im there i love rap and reggaeton which is something alot of "preps" wouldnt listen to [but i know some do] so yea but theres nothing wrong with them the only thing is that alot of girls are wannabe preps and therefore are really fake! if you are a "true prep" then be proud of it just dont be stuck up and put others down which is something some "preps" do alot just be your self but be nice and they wont hate u they will only hate u if your the stuck up kind of prep that makes fun of everyone else and usually if u are that kind of personm there will be other people trying to fight you or start shit with u so just be yourself how old are u? if u are in middle schoolish then i can understand your question becuase in those years u are usualy trying to find out who u really are & sometimes u really care what others think [trust me if u are a prep then be proud to be one if u arent then dont try to be one just because the rest of your friends are f**k what the rest of the world thinks be you ]

[chibichi15]

heyy, people are people, you know? giving a name to them just separates. everyone has their own way of living. so, i dont think preps are bad. lol, everyone's bad at some point i guess.

[multifaceted]

i don't think it is bad... its just i don't agree with that type of people

be what you want. i don't care i just don't like to deal with them.
