He said that in reference to coworkers at your job. Some of the women are “mean girls” who gossip about other people, some guys are bullies (obviously not in an in-your-face way), and some of the adults just act like high school students. The only difference is that some of your coworkers are in their 20s, 30s, or 40s.
Would you say thats accurate?
Well as far as accuracy goes, not really, or heavily exaggerated.
For example; Most American schools don’t have an “outside area” where all the students seem to hang out.
We had play grounds in the early grades, but that’s about it.
I mean more behavior wise among the students, rather than physical characteristics.
Fair, I just used an obvious example.
Behaviorally, yes there’s the typical bullying, occasional fights, social cliques, nice people, “nice” people, and the anime club that learned a little too much from the romance dramas. Big parties and dances where less of a thing in real life, sure they do happen, but it was never a significant event across the school.
I guess overall movies are accurate, but still exaggerated; way too much homework, there are crazy science teachers and evil history teachers and teens not having all their screws tightened yet is a real thing.
