Michelle has updated her Facebook to say that she is just going off what rumours she has heard. So nothing concrete as of yet.

I get the feeling she was probably made to say that... gutted now, I really hate Jessie.

But the USA cliques are so clearly defined and you HAVE to be part of one of them, you HAVE to act and dress according to your clique etc.

Yea, i can't get over that. I'm gonna go abroad for a yr in the US and i find that whole clique, frat/sorority house thing daunting
Not all universities in the US have fraternities or sororities, and even at those that do it's usually a minority of students who belong to one. It's not an integral, inescapable fact of US university life. If you're concerned about it, pick a university where they don't have much of a presence. |

That's simply not true outside of works of fiction set in US high schools. And even fiction is sometimes more subtle than that. Real people are complex, even in high school, and defy such simplistic categorization. Everywhere in the world. In broad terms there may be different social categories, but most individual students are not one dimensional, nor are they forced to act one dimensionally in order to fit into one particular box.

I didn't say that everyone conforms to every stereotype ever shown on TV and film, I said in my personal experience American highschools conform to the way they are stereotyped on TV and film.
Your comment makes no sense in relation to what I said. |

OK.
You're entitled to your opinion but since how you feel about me as a person has no relevance to Big Brother and I feel no need to defend my moral fibre to you, I have no interest in getting into a debate about it
