In 2020, boredom plagued quarantined teenagers at home. With so many desperately searching for any form of social interaction or entertainment, a new social media trend was born. 

Provocateurs created anonymous gossip or tea accounts featuring predictably fake drama. Most were created for schools that the creators didn’t even attend, harassing students across the country. Hundreds of these accounts were created, including multiple for TuHS. Any student with their school in their bio would receive a follow request from a desperate account owner trying to gain popularity.

Eventually, this trend died. Many accounts were banned from social media, and others eventually lost popularity. Then, a 2021 TikTok trend sparked a new kind of school spirit. 

Trends repeat in an endless cycle, and the pattern of school social media accounts was reborn. With schools going back in person, different kinds of accounts became a possibility. These new accounts center on anonymous submissions of photographs.

Several different breeds of accounts were created here at TuHS. Some of these accounts cause students to sleep with one eye open, while others encourage good posture and considerate eating. One of the most popular accounts even encourages students to park straight, a skill that a large population of our students lacks. Another account offers positive affirmations relatable to all Tualatin students.

The most popular account is the sleeping account with over 600 followers. These followers can view students caught napping around the school in classrooms, the cafeteria and – surprisingly often – on the floor. 

Another popular account is the bad parking page, with around 450 followers. This account features cars in the high school’s parking lots with hurried or haphazard parking jobs. Often the cars are parked over the lines into a neighboring spot. 

These pages may be fleeting, as students have rekindled the social interaction they need in person. While they last, make sure you don’t find yourself parked illegally or asleep on the cafeteria floor.
