I think that groups are very restrictive at schools. You just sort of fit into a group and than stay their for the rest of your education. At least at my school we started out as a group in about 6th grade. After that it is basically the same people every year. Then every now and then their is a new student that comes around and all the groups try to get the new guy to join them. I have to say that it is somewhat funny how the groups just sort of start calling each other by a certain name. For instance in my school we have the farmer hicks, the thespians, and the people that think they are popular. It must be interesting to see what each group calls each other from there own points of view. But back to the point do you think that by classifying groups we are limiting our development as children? Is it sort of choosing the person we may be in the future? If so, doesn't that mean that a lot of who we are is created by peer pressure? And finally, if you hung out with everybody at your school would that broaden the paths you may take as an adult?
