Cliques

Every school has them, weather we think so or not they do. Cliques! Some people care about them while others don't.

When you hear the word clique the common terms that come into your head are, jocks, geeks, preps, and  popular people, am I right? but little do you know there are so many more cliques out there. There are the overachievers, stoners, drama kids, Goths, band geeks and so many more. But does there have to be all of these cliques? or do we make them happen? Does social media affect how we see our peers? Why do we stereotype all these people? Why do we have to have "cliques?" Personally I think that my school has so many different cliques. The obvious ones would clearly be just our grades, senior, juniors, sophomores, and the freshman, but in my school each grade to me presents the cliques differently. Me being a junior, I think my class handles cliques very well actually. Yes we have our jocks, preps, popular kids, geeks, band geeks, Goths, stoners and dram kids, but I think that we kind of merge together at some point. Our jocks wont make fun of our geeks, well at least not in front of them like social media and movies play it out to be. We all kind of merge at least one time in our high school career. After all we are still trying to find ourselves.

 Now do you think social media and movies has a role in the cliques you have at your school? In my school yes we have the same cliques as some of the movies out there but I don't think that they way that people are treated in the movies is how people at my school treat others. For example the movie Mean Girls, Lindsey Lohan and her "posy" pretty much "own" everyone in there school and everyone is afraid of them. The majority of people in my school have scene this movie and I don't believe that this movie has changed the way that we treated each other. But maybe in other school it affected them. I feel that it really depends on what school and the type of people you are around to determine how people are treated. As said in High School Musicals best song," Stick to the status quo!"
