I hate High School Musical 2. HSM 1 was okay, quite inspiring.
But HSM 2 was:
Just. Plain. Annoying. And even more unrealistic than the first movie, which was toeing the line in my mind already.
Let me tell you guys something: Western high schools are NOT like that. For one, in my school at least, there are two groups. The Asians and the (mostly)non-Asians, who are them split into many sub-groups. However, we get along fine. We're friends and we joke around. Lately, we've been going to parties and things like that together.
The only difference is where we sit before school and lunch. So no... I don't think my school is that cliquish. We have the usual gossiping and backbiting but nothing more than what you get in other schools. In fact, a lot of the students may not realise this, but we probably have it better. Haha.
