Class clowns tend
to be either universal or social loners.
Characteristics of a class clown count disruptive behavior; a desire for attention; above-average or, conversely, poor learning skills; emotional insecurity; immaturity and hyperactivity. Although class clowns can be funny and entertaining, their survival in school hinges on social acceptance in the face of a teacher's authority. In other words, if a class clown wants to survive in school, while dealing with the roller coaster of reprimands, dismissals and detentions for disruptive behavior, he better have some good friends.
