You left out Claire, the “princess”. Also, for the record, I’m not buying that Allison was there because she didn’t have anything better to do. First, Vernon would’ve called her out and asked her, “What the hell are you doing here?”. Second, I’m betting she was in there for stealing, after all, she was a kleptomaniac. She actually stole Brian’s wallet when they were in the library and read some of his personal information on his ID, Bender's knife, the padlock off his locker when they were getting the weed, and took Andy's patch off his letterman jacket while he was still wearing it. Third, the other reason I don’t believe her story about showing up for detention just for the hell of it is the fact that she was a compulsive liar.

Brian isn't unattractive, he's just small but there's nothing actually wrong with him. Andrew isn't unkind, he acts out because he himself is treated unkindly and is full of repressed rage, but he regrets his actions, admits he was wrong, and expresses empathy for his victim. He is sensitive and empathetic to Allison in particular and is only in conflict with Bender initially because Bender provoked him. Ultimately he shows himself to be a compassionate dude.

Brian is also shown to be a beta male. First interaction with Bender he's snapping his finger and telling him to move. which he does. Brian pokes fun at Andy when Bender makes fun of his tights. When Allison and Andy go to get drinks for lunch, Brian is seen sitting with Bender looking in the book with the elephantiasis guy. Bender tells Vernon to his face that his weed is in Brian's pants yet he is still the first one to go join Bender to smoke.

"Alpha male" and "beta male" are false concepts that mean nothing. Andrew also does what he is told even though he is also physically aggressive, but then again, he is physically aggressive because he is told he is supposed to be, so he is also following and being dominated. Bender is outwardly dominant but betrays fear and vulnerability when he is alone with Vernon, he is submissive, and is also dominated by his father, and can't face Andrew in a fight unarmed. Every single male is vulnerable and all of them assert themselves at different points in different contexts.

Couldn't be more than 5 minutes and I had to discuss three different psychological concepts. I didn't think she depicted anything except for stereotyping as well as Allison and Bender did

Weed was used as the bonding agent for all five stereotypes. It allowed each student to lower their social masks and reveal their true inner cores. Or in another way, weed was the X factor.

Allison never smokes, though. She's the only one that doesn't get high. And Bender reveals what his home environment is like before he gets high, so Allison and Bender are pretty up-front with who they are, naturally. Claire, Andrew and Brian open up after getting high, though.
