It's the most important year academically, even more-so than freshman year. Most sophomores have matured a bit since freshman year. Many of them of generally good people. However, there are idiots that think they are the best thing since sliced bread because of the fact that they are sophomores. They buy into this idea and start picking on freshman. There are also people that haven't matured one bit since freshman year and still act as retarded, sex-obsessed, and jock-like as ever. Some sophomores actually get along with freshman. Seniors and juniors don't really care much about sophomores. There are a few who are actually friends with sophomores, however.

A sophomore is a student in their second year of high school or college. They are usually considered the useless class:
-the freshmen being the.. well, freshmen,
-the juniors are pressured from sats and realizing this is their last shot to fix their shitty gpa,
-and the seniors roaming the halls and doing absolutly nothing waiting to graduate, leaving the sophomores at a standstill doing the better part of nothing.
dude: wow. it sucks for garr that hes a freshmen, the seniors will probably annoy the hell out of him.
dude2: yeah i know. sucks for joe too now that hes a junior, sats and all that crap. good thing we're sophomores and dont have anything to do.
Really the laid back year in high school and kids are the nicest. Classic teenagers. The only thing you really need to worry about sophomore year is getting a learners permit and maybe have an idea where you want to go to colllege, but the rest is a pretty easy ride. But you get pounded with a lot of homework that year and your classes are gritty. This is usually the year to read Shakespeare and you usually take an American History and Biology/Chemistry class that year. You may take world too in some schools.
These kids are usually head up your ass teenegers. A lot of dating, teen pregancies, anorexia, etc. The worry of fitting in is not as bad as 9th so you turn into slobs watching Family Guy. This is the age when you like to go old school and start liking classic rock. The teenage classic rock/indie heads are usually sophomores, but you get corporate by junior year.
Oh look at me an head up your ass sophomore watching Family Guy. College...eh...that is a long way.
Noun: Sophomores have priority over the freshman
Freshman tries to cut in line
