Do you ever find that sometimes when you meet someone for the first time, it feels like you've met them before. I do all the time. I've been in 4 Different schools throughout my education and theres always the same different types of people. Let me divuldge:
Theres always a tall thin kid, whos a little smarter than everyone else, and enjoy the TV a little more than most would consider healthy. And is usually heavily obsessed with something. Make good friends for a while, but become irritating after a while.
Then theres the big fat kid, who unsurprisingly just eats all the time. Usually they are complete pillocks, and very boastful.
A kid whos not quite as tall and not quite as thin as the tall skinny kid. They are usually liked by everyone, and more often than not very creative too.
Then theres the two or three short kids who usually stick together, and have a shared interest amongst themselves, this being the only thing that holds them together.
Sporty kid who is good at all sports but usually not very bright, noyl friends with other sporty types and girls.
Then of cousre the focal point of the class or group. The extrovert who always has to be the centre of attention, and is always friends with everyone, this person usually organises things too.
Anything sound familiar? Probably not, just me no doubt. But now as we grow older, we are meant to be becoming more individual. Bull. Now the categories are fewer in numbers but contain more people. Note:
Goths - fans of black makeup and Slipknot
Extreme sports - fans of BMX, skateboards etc. and The Offspring
Law Breakers - fans of smoking, drugs, alcohol etc. and Sex
Intelligence - fans of shakespeare, dickens etc. and S Club 7
And then theres people like me, who dont really fit in anywhere, yet I have friends in all of these groups. It just doesnt feel right, it feels like you just dont fit in, and its not a nice feeling. If I were less of a person I'd add an extra category called 'Individuald' on the end, but I'd be kidding myself. I've read books about this, (thats how much it bothers me) and some scientists reckon its to do with being born by caesarian (spelling?), and that it gives a baby certain special qualities as a person, all of which I've been told that I have.
But this doesnt help, becuase this year (my GCSE Year (yr 11)) is a important one where I need to feel comfortable. And really I'm just telling you this to see if I'm alone or wether there are others like me.
I sincerely apologise if I have offended anyone in this post in anyway at all. But please don't remove this post as it means a lot to me.

"A kid whos not quite as tall and not quite as thin as the tall skinny kid. They are usually liked by everyone, and more often than not very creative too."

I'm kinda a mixture of some of the things you said, it's hard to stereotype friends like that unless you're making a film or something.
I know what you mean though, look at the cover to Not Another Teen Movie, that's kinda what you mean right?

All sound like me.
You can't make sterotypes like this, because they just don't exist. In your eyes, people can seem completely different to how they seem in the eyes of other people.
Or something.

I don't know, the first kind of classifications seperate people on their personality, the second more on interests.
Me, i don't consider myself to fit into one particular 'interst group', or maybe i just don't see it.
But i don't think you should define someone too heavily on those kinds of classes, they only make up a fraction of an individual. Young kids don't have so many outlets through which to express themselves as become available as you get older - those i think are pretty much summed up by your second list, but that only shows a faction of any one person in the group.
Maybe you could add more groups, but you'd always have people left over. Maybe individuals isn't the right term, they're more just people who haven't taken anything to the extremes that people could use it to place them in a group based on it.
But that's only a reflection on a small part of their personality.
