Cliques are everywhere. Just be friends with whoever you want to be friends with, and if one one group decides they don't want to be ur friend just because you have friends in another group too, then thats their problem. Defy the cliques, be who you are.

Cliques are normal... all you can do is keep on being yourself and make friends w/ whoever you want to make friends with and if people in different cliques are really your friends then they wont get mad at you for talking to people from other cliques.

Where I live certain people are with certain people. Like for example, I am in my own little clique and we don't get along with the 'popular' people we know. You pretty much get used to it and it's just seem natural. Just like people in Egypt or wherever had their own caste with different types of people.

Yeah... I know what you all mean. I go to a very small school, so everyone from 6-12 grade knows everyone else. I have good friends from almost all of the little social groups that people make for themselves, which is both good and bad. On the plus, I get a broad range of oppinions to consider, and I like to think I'm very, very open about things. Everyone knows me pretty well, and respects me. The downside is that people are so caught up in their pre-made groups that they each think that I 'belong' to another group, and therefore never really include me. I think the social groupings really are a shame, because they limit people's understanding of fellow humans, limit their interests, and seperate the many people like me who have no set group of favorite people from any close friendships. They are common, and will be found everywhere, even in some place as small as my school, with only 200 students. It really upsets me when friends from one group won't even try to get to know another friend of mine just because of the impression the second friend's group gives.

I can't stand cliques. At my school they are out of control. I guess you could say that I'm a neutral because I'm a little bit of everything, and people hate me for it. But if I'm anything, I'm a choir freak, seriously. I think I've just made up my own clique!!!! Go ME!!! lol jk. Anyways back to the point...no matter where you go in life, you're always going to find that people segregate themselves to the point that they don't include others. I know its sad, but its life. Sorry I couldn't be much of help. All I can say is keep doing what you're doing and stay true to yourself.

No matter how hard anyone tries, there are always going to be different classifications of people in schools. I don't mind so much, just as long as people don't limit themselves to friends in their group.

It is the same way here in Idaho...There are the preps/populars, skaters, stoners, nerds, drama...and so on...I also have friends in many different groups, and they don't mix well with my other friends..but I tell them that it is their prob. not mine, You are intitled to hang out with whomever you want
