The High School Stereotype You Are (According To Birth Month)

Ahh, high school… it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Some of us made memories we’ll cherish forever, while others can’t wait to forget those formative years. Regardless of your actual high school experience, your birth month matches a high school stereotype. Are you a jock, a cheerleader, or a rebel? Here’s which high school stereotype you are, based on your birth month’s unique personality traits.

April: The Jock

Ruled by Mars, the planet of war and aggression, April is the most competitive birth month. Those born in April are also very strong, physical, and full of energy. They exude jock energy, flexing their muscles and swaggering into the cafeteria with confidence. Although they sometimes struggle to be team players, they may excel in individual sports, like track and field, tennis, or swimming.

May: The Sleeper

Although those born in May are actually very hard-working, they still get the sleeper title. May teens stay up all night doing homework and texting friends, so they are exhausted when it’s time to wake up and attend class. They are the ones with their heads on their desks, fast asleep – but they still got their book report done and got an A.

June: The Floater

People born in June are the social butterflies of the year, but they struggle with commitment. They easily flit between social groups, fitting in effortlessly wherever they go. One day they’re chilling with the skaters on the blacktop, the next they are running lines with the theater kids. They always know the juiciest gossip from every group.

July: The Hippie

Those with July birthdays tend to be sensitive and introverted, preferring to live in their own dream worlds. July teens dress in flowy, retro styles, and they seem to come from another era. You might find them sneaking a joint in the parking lot or doodling peace signs in their notebooks. 

August natives are born to perform and thrive on attention, so no matter which group they are in, they are the popular kids. Whether they are with the jocks or floaters, those born in August are the most known and liked person in the room. They know how to make people look at them and are always the life of the party.

September: The Overachiever

Meticulous and hard-working, those born in September never settle for anything less than an A. They are obsessed with building the perfect college application, so they fight their introverted instincts and join every club and extracurricular. They are always stressed, yet manage to finish every project and make time for their friends.

October: The Cheerleader

Blessed by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, those born in October are naturally charming and good-looking. They are also people-pleasers who want everyone to like them, so being a cheerleader makes sense for this birth month. They get the cute uniforms, glittery pom poms, and attention their souls crave while making others smile and cheering on their team.

November: The Goth

November-born individuals possess a certain dark aura and care very little about what others think. They tend to push people away out of fear of rejection, and they’d rather be seen as cold and intimidating than vulnerable. At their hearts, those born in November are the goth kids, dressed in head-to-toe black to match their sullen demeanor.

December: The Skipper

Those with December birthdays can never stay in one place for too long, so it’s hard to get them to attend class regularly. Although they love learning, they’d rather have real-life experiences than sit in a boring classroom. Those born in December are the high school kids who rarely show up, but when they do, they make the whole class laugh with their wit and good-natured humor.

January: The Loner

People born in January are fiercely independent and tend to keep to themselves. Although they have a lot of thoughts and opinions, they choose their words carefully, making them seem quiet and introverted. They are also very ambitious and focused on their schoolwork. While they have a core group of close friends, those born in January aren’t afraid to fly solo.

February: The Rebel

Guided by Uranus, the planet of freedom and individuality, those born in February value their uniqueness. They’re proud of their quirkiness and unafraid to march to the beat of their own drum. February-born individuals are the ones speaking up in class to challenge popular opinion, rocking bizarre styles that go against the trends, and just generally doing their own thing with confidence.

March: The Artsy Kid

Those born in March are dreamers by nature. They have huge imaginations, so having a creative outlet is important to them. Those with March birthdays are the artsy kid, the one showing up to class with paint splatters on their pants and ink all over their fingers. They’re always staring out the window, doodling on their desk, or sneakily drawing in the sketchbook tucked inside their textbooks.
