Freaks and Geeks

The show Freaks and Geeks consists of groups like jocks, geeks, slackers, and freaks! In the paticular episode we watched it showed that this girl named Lindsay was a former geek and now wants to join the group of slackers. The functions of the geek group is to be really bright kids. They get labled by wearing nerdy clothes, usually in tv and movies portray that label. The negatives from the group is that they usually are afraid to stick up for themselves and usually get picked on from other kids. The functions of the slacker group that they show in Freaks and Geeks is that they are probably not the brightest kids. They are carefree and just try to make it through school. They are more popular than the geek group most likely that is why Lindsay wants to be apart of their group. There dysfunction is that they are probably to carefree. In the show this girl named Kim has maybe the most power in the slacker group, she is not very nice to her peers and gets away with it. The other leader of the group is Daniel. He has power because he is everything that would describe a slacker. Alan is a kid who picks on the geeks so he definatly has power over the geeks. I can relate somewhat to the show, but mostly everyone gets along and is kind of like one big family. There are just some of us that are a little different than others but everyone is different in their own way. I wear the clothes that I wear because it is what other people wear so you could say I follow trends.
