Members Khan Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 I always hate how teens on soaps are dressed as if they came straight from the fashion runway to class. When I went to high school, most of us did well to have run a comb or brush through our hair before arriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nate4 Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 Exactly, girls at my school dress like that. Most of them dress really nice, about 25% still wear sweats and an aero shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 Oh my highschool it was like a competition to see who dressed the best everyday but of course there were those who wore sweats and stuff. I think alot of soap teens tend to dress really old though. For awhile Molly on GH dressed like an old lady to me. Its always strange when they have the young female characters wearing more cardigans then anything else. Not saying Cardigans are old lady wear but the ones they would have Molly and Kristina wearing were for older women. DAYS sometimes dresses their young people too old as well. And Y&R dresses Summer like someone in their mid 20s now but that's because Summer wants to look older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 The thing about OLTL and all the doors opening out the way instead of into the homes/rooms is something that, now it has been pointed out, is really distracting to me and cheapens the look of these shows. I just don't get the need for it, but then what do I know about set design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 It's especially unrealistic because most high schoolers have to get up at the crack of dawn or around there to even get to school on time. I know I had to wake up around 5:30 in the morning to catch a 6:15 bus to my high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 I would wake up at 5:50, let out the dog(he was very particular about the time he had to go out), make lunch, get dressed(private school so we have uniforms), do hair and be standing by the bus stop in time for the 7:00 pickup.

Members Cheap21 Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 to add to that in some areas its not uncommon for schools to have work study programs where kids (usually 11th or 12th grade) have a half day curriculum a few times a week either in the morning or afternoon to accomodate a work schedule. In those circumstances, it wouldnt be odd to see a teen running errands before school. Even if that wasnt the case, not every school starts super early. If school starts 9 or 10, then thats plenty of time to actually take care of a few things before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 I don't know any Northeast schools that start that late. Most usually start at 8 and end anywhere between 3 and 4. In some cases seniors can leave early some days because you only need to take a certain number of classes and some kids are in votech or similar type schools for half the day. But you also have these school children walking around in the middle of the day when school would be in session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 when I was in HS, it was 8:45 for us. My sister had 9:15. This was all in Ny. If you didn't have a class 1st period (which happened a few days bc periods rotated), its possible not to start till 40 minutes after those times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 Your school started late. What time did you get out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 i think like 2:30 or maybe a little before that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 Whaaat. When I was in high school we started at 8:15 and got out at 3:10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 You were lucky we had to start at 7:30 to get out at that time. I used to skip all the early dismissal days because you'd go in for 7:30 and leave by 11:00 after having 15 minute classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 You know we're about to approach "I had to walk 20 miles to school everyday! Barefoot! In ten inches of snow!" territory. I went to school in the wrong ass state. Most days, I'd get home in time to catch most of DAYS at 3 pm. Then, it was homework while watching all the other soaps I had taped that day.

Members AlexElizabeth Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 I got hit by a truck while walking to school once. Not even joking, y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
