I generally don't like to generalize, but I'll make an exception here. I've always kept friends in a wide range of groups and spent most of my time with both jocks (I'm still athletic at 43) and hard rockers. As I matured, I started categorizing people as hard-working and lazy.

There are a percentage of jocks that can participate in sports due to an abundance of natural ability. Some, like me, only found success after a great deal of hard work. The hardworking athletes generally went on to be successful, developing a work hard/play hard attitude. Most rockers just liked to party hard. If they became hard working it wasn't until they had to start paying the bills or aquired family responsibilities. Few went to college right away, but several finished college later in life.

Without a doubt, the work ethic that came with sports better prepares kids to work hard in all aspects of life. Unfortunately, hard working attitudes and drugs frequently overlap. I had a very close friend go from high school athletics to working his way through college in four years. To fund his senior year in college he started selling and using cocane. He managed to graduate, but became addicted, lost what few posessions he had, and had to flee from an angry drug distributor. After 20 years, he's still a drifter and changes jobs frequently. The saddest part is that he has no lasting relationships.

In general, more jocks finished school and aquired better jobs than hard rockers. Rockers generally had a higher percentage of drug usage as we went through our 30's.


Now, back to our regular thread...

I'm sorry, I wasn't specific in saying that some jocks were just as bad. And you know what? I know many from my class that never went to college because they got their girlfriends pregnant instead.

But I do agree with you. I used to be involved in the youth football program with my brothers. Getting kids into a structured and disciplined program like that does give good results. But the fact is, some of them, when they get into high school, start partying and some start doing drugs too. A lot has to do with their home life as well.

I'm just saying, they all have their 'bad' sides. Whether they listen to heavy metal, rap or pop music.

What I was trying to say is that while I was in school, the jocks looked down on the burn-outs. The teachers looked down on the burn-outs, and put the jocks on the pedistals. I really didn't see them as that different. One looked to drugs (not all burn-outs did them) and one looked to the drinking and partying. So why praise one and dump on the other?
