Does Your School Have Well-defined Cliques? - A sort of social order, if you will.

Whoa, how big is your school?

Mine's pretty small, about 1800 people I think.

My school has sort of a basic structure, but there are a lot of cliques that do one activity (sports, chorus, or band) so then it's a mish-mash of everyone. Also, some kids could technically be part of a couple different groups. I think only a minority are, like, strict geeks or whatever.

I wouldn't call it "cliques" i'll just call it "personalities".

My school's got:

quiet people
black group
arab group
turkish group
irritating group: composes of THE MOST ANNOYING girls in history. They are a mixture of black/arab. They shout ENDLESSLY! I mean, they can tear your ears out.
boring group
normal group: composes of me and my friends...we don't shout, but we aren't quiet either. We have fun and we are uber friendly...some people might think otherwise though...

My school is pretty small. There is about 400 people including staff, maybe less. We have the basic cliques but we all sort of hangout with eachother. We don't hate agianst other people though. Most of the conflicts are within the cliques. I'm sort of in the middle. I hang out with a lot of different people. I'm the mediator. I'm a peacemaker in the school now. I hate drama so I sort of try to mediate the problems.

Everyone seems to get along pretty well where I go to school. There are cliques, but they don't seem to be composed of just one stereotype each, they're a mix of individuals. And most of them are pretty nice to other people.

I really don't belong to one though. I'm more of a loner. XD

my school is a junior high so the 9th graders, like myself, are the only real high school kids. but even so, there's still the cliques. my school is considered the preppy school of all the other junior highs in the city. we have preps and semi-popular kids, both are divided into good and bad preps. then we have punk/goths, no real goths at my school. there's the normal kids who are just laid back and arent really the spotlighted ones. there's the quiet ones with their own little group. the smart ones at my school arent considered nerdy or anything because they're most likely in the semi-popular crowd. then there's the kinda strange kids who are considered just plain weird. and also the ghetto ones who seem to be taking over the school. so he have a lot different cliques and these are only 7th-9th graders.

we're all pretty interlinked, too. mostly because some grades share classes like in art and then cliques in each grade are mixed together in music classes like choir and band so everyone has friends in other cliques. but there is a ton of drama at my school..... blink.gif

Everyone at my school is pretty connected in some way. Everyone thats "punk" "goth" or a "skater" hang out in the same area, along with the drama students, choir students, and band students.

Then you have the gangs, the mexicans and "indians" (who are really mexican, but deny it till their graves) ( i live in southern california, if you do to you probably understand what i mean) dont really get a long, but they basically hang around the same area.

Then you have the rich kids they basically hang around eachother.

But basically we are all intertwined. I am not a social butterfly but i have a lot of friends in many "cliques" People don't really give others a chance, but everyone has something in common with any group.

And i cant put myself into a clique, because i dont fit in...so i mingle with everyone. I dont really go in contact with the gangs, but its nice to have friends in them, so that if worse comes to worse they will stick up for you. I dont really hang out with the rich kids either. But i hang out with the nerds, jesus freaks, drama kids... and druggies..

But to answer the question, yeah my school has cliques, but no school is really like the movies we dont exactly avoid eachother like the plague.

My school's so friggin' clique-y. But instead of defined nerds, we have our anime geeks, the band geeks, the Latin geeks (me!), emo people, a few goths, punks, "gangstas", the asian whatever they call it, the indian group (of which I'm happily excluded), the athletes - we don't have any real jocks, the random rich kids, the hardrockers. We've got it all. And it's so easy to tell who is in what group. Kinda creepy though tongue.gif

For those who don't know, cliques are basically groups of people that hang around together. It can be a small group of friends or a whole social group.

Most stereotypical high schools have the nerds, punks, preps, ghetto, goths, emos/skaters, losers, etc., but are most high schools very stereotypical? I wouldn't really know since I go to a magnet high school for nerds, so the social classes are kind of blurred together. The nerds are friends with the preps, few people are considered losers, there's no ghetto, and we only had one goth for about a week. Also, everyone considers themselves somwhat nerdy.

So what are your schools like? Strict social ladder? No real defined groups?


no. The goths hang with the grungers who hang with the smokes who hang with the chavs who hang with the gangsters who hang the semi- grungers who hang with the goths. Biigg circle. Preps have their own group but they socialise with the geeks as well. But definately.. there isn't really any major groups... there are friendship groups but they're like a mixture if you get me. There's sort of just Popular people and Geeks. I'm just like not suited in both groups.. bit like a reject.

There are goths and grungers and chavs and nerds but NOT that many groups. Well I don't think so anyways... i'm sort of blind and I don't really care what goes on.

Mine definitely does. It's bad but most of them are defined by race.
Here is how it goes..

Gangster Tibetans
Filipinos (which are sometimes intertwined with the Tibetans)
Grade 12 Snooty Chinese
Stylish Koreans
Fobby Koreans
Grade 10 African-Americans
Grade 10 Whitewashed Chinese (Chinese who think they're white)
And then with White people... Since our school is mostly white, there's a lot of different kinds of groups, and most White people will end up going into another racial group.
Which brings me too....
The Asian Wannabes (which I am a part of)
The Emo Kids (which I am friends with even though I'm not emo)
The Gay/GSA Kids (which I am also part of)
The Grade 9s who don't care about race (tonnes of mixed races) (which I am also part of)
.... And yeah, that's basically it.
