Melrose High School Everyone at Melrose carries a gun. Everyone at Overton is gay. White Station students are snobs. Guys at Whitehaven are cute.
Every school has stereotypes.
Some are positive and others negative. These perceptions are formed because someone meets one person or visits a particular neighborhood for a day and decides to label the whole student body a certain way. At Melrose people are labeled as gang-bangers, ignorant and incompetent. When I first arrived at Melrose I had heard of these stereotypes just like everyone else. I was scared even to walk through the door.
