first, one of the girls on the show goes to my high school which is public and she isn't actually rich so i don't even know why she is on the show. anyone in nyc get into the school based on a test -- it's not likes its a public school full of only rich kids from one rich neighborhood.
secondly, i used to hang out with a nyc prep school crowd sometimes and its a lot like other schools in the sense that not everyone is exactly the same. yeah, there are a lot of new money types like these stupid kids that are trying too hard but there are also the academic types, hippies, partiers, druggies, the jocks, old money, nerds, dorks, etc. the difference with rich kids is they just have a tendency to be able to indulge their interests more b/c they can afford too - the academics get expensive tutors, the nerds by crazy gadgets, the partiers can go to fancy clubs and parties. and i could deal with these stupids kids not being representative if they were at least interesting but they arent.
they honestly remind me of a bunch of alex's from the real housewives of new york city -- if you're always feeling the need to talk to other people about your status, your status isn't that great.
