Stevenson Subculture vs American Values

At Stevenson we are a subculture of America. Our values have some similarities and differences of America. For example at Stevenson we are all for freedom of expression through dress...to a point. There are many limitations to that rule as opposed to America you can wear whatever you want to wear...the only limitation is you cant run naked through the streets. In my opinion that is legit. In Stevenson we have our own subcultures like we addressed in our group projects. There are different "groups" such as the Jocks/sporty kids, Punks, Emos, Goth, Preppy, Skaters, etc. But those are just the way we percieve them. They act a certian way and in a way we classify and sterotype them and put a lable on them. Thats not always correct. I am a perfect example of that. My friends say there is no word or sterotype for who I am. which I guess is true. People classify me as a "punk" but thats not who I am and I believe that there is just groups of friends not sterotypes of posses. I hang out with people who dress darker and who dress "preppy" or "gangsta" etc. Yay For Life!
