Cliques

April 21, 2007, 4:06 AM

How many people here were part of a clique in high school? If you're not sure what one is, it's a restricted social group formed by people who share the same interests. If you've ever seen the movie "Mean Girls" it's a great demonstration of different cliques in high school.

I was actually part of the asian clique at our school since there were only 7 of us. We'd all sit together at lunch, hang out after school, study together, we pretty much did everything together. Though my senior year of high school I hung out with mainly the cheerleaders since I joined my junior year. So I won't lie, I was aiming for popularity but I still never ditched my asian buddies!

I wasn't in a click. =[
At first I was really eager to be...but there were so many.
My best friend was like the most popular girl in school, but she was a grade younger than me, so we never talked to each other during the day. O.o
I had a lot of friends in the "breakdancing" click, but I can't breakdance. =[
And I had a few friends here and there in the "loose screw" click, but I wouldn't even let myself be seen with them.

Not sure if I was a part of any clique...I mostly hung out with weird people. You know; class clowns, outcasts, the occasional emo...hell, my best friend back in high school is the only happy emo you'll ever find. The one thing we all had in common; We hated jock jackasses for one reason or another.

My school's so weird it doesn't it even have or needs any cliques to save itself lol

(Not the really defined, stereotype ones like you see on TV anyway...)

Honestly, I don't really identify many cliques 'cause I'm not in any of them.
Nope, we're just one big happy family.

Erm, I don't think the group that I hung out with is what you would classify as part of a "clique." Let's see, there were four of us that were Pacific Islanders, two were Mexicans, and a few occasional white people, who were part of drama club. We all hung out under this one huge tree near the P.E locker rooms...so yeah, basically it was towards the back, secluded from everyone else.

You can totally tell our group weren't popular right off the bat, but we were kinda well known by the "in-crowds." Me basically because of my quietness, and also known by the "smart kids" since I took almost all Advanced Placement classes.

We just didn't hung out with those popular kids because we were happy with our little group. And we weren't just "groups"...we were actually friends, acting like total goofballs everyday. Even now, we're still all friends...although I've lost contact with a few. =(

I was never apart of any clique. I used to care about "fitting in" last year, but now I could care less.

Although I do have freinds, I'm still not part of any clique. I don't like the way most cliques in my school act towards eachother.

I never really had any close friends in high school. Not too mention I don't really relate to a lot of the people at my high school. I'm not the typical girl that likes to gossip and talk about boys all the time (that gets on my nerves) and I certainly don't fit in with the guys whether they be jocks (I hate playing sports) or gamers/geeks (I obviously like playing video games, but I don't ever think the hardcore gamers would ever accept me in their group). But I did make an effort to talk to people and some people did accept me into their group, although I always knew I wasn't a valued member of their 'clique.'

I won't lie, it did make me depressed and I wish I could experience the same strong bonds my other classmates did. But now that I'm at the end of my high school career, I'm happy that I will have more opportunities to make friends in college (which I think won't be a problem. I live in a small town right now and there isn't a lot of diversity).

Anyways, if I had to associate myself with someone, I'd probably associate myself with the 'quiet, studious people.' I'm a real goody-goody as well and always do my homework and follow the rules. I know, boring, eh? Well, in the beginning of my high school career, some of the people who befriended me were pretty 'gangsta' (which I know laugh about because I am far from gangsta) and I'm glad I departed from them now. I don't want to end up pregnant like one of my old friends afterall XD.

I was big on sports, but my quiet nature kept me mostly to myself in high school. I had maybe three good friends who I spent time with, each of 'em falling into different "cliques" outside of our little group.

I sorta just drifted through without being categorized...I think.
