zyy
<p>In the west there are a lot of different groups in school. For instance this list of <a href="https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=High%20school%20stereotypes" rel="nofollow noreferrer">High school stereotypes</a> mentions preps, jocks, geeks, etc.</p>

<p>Of course, even translating these groups directly wouldn't mean much to the average Chinese person who has little to zero knowledge of western school life.</p>

<p>For Chinese school groups, I don't know much other than 学霸 and 学渣. Maybe, it is just that limited? I would assume 00后 vocab would be more plentiful though.</p>

Chinese school group stereotypes?
# Chinese school group stereotypes?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-11-22)

In the west there are a lot of different groups in school. For instance this list of [High school stereotypes](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=High%20school%20stereotypes) mentions preps, jocks, geeks, etc.

Of course, even translating these groups directly wouldn't mean much to the average Chinese person who has little to zero knowledge of western school life.

For Chinese school groups, I don't know much other than 学霸 and 学渣. Maybe, it is just that limited? I would assume 00后 vocab would be more plentiful though.

First I will list some common ones regarding academic performance

> 学神，excellent student with little effort put in, also doing very well in nearly all other aspects you can think of, like sport clubs, video games and so on
>

>
> （男）屌丝，it is not a good word and is ONLY used for self reference, it means someone who is poor and ugly

And some others

I will keep this answer updated if I could think of any others.
