Cliques. (Dare I Go There?)
Growing up and going through school, I've always been exposed to certain cliches and cliques. I, personally, could name off specific people in specific categories, just like any other teenager in the world.
Most people frown upon this. < That displeases me, you know. Those people have a tendency to either be "that girl that wants everyone to treat each other equally and human!", OR, it's " the mom that tries to be understanding, but is extremely unsuccessful because she doesn't understand the cliques and therefore doesn't want to." I will tell you why this is unhappy news for me.[b] Since the beginning of time, there has been cliques. There were cliques in the Bible, there were cliques in the roaring 20s, there were cliques when your grandma was in school, your mom and dad were in cliques, and, I bet you're in a clique, even if you're against it. [b]
clique (klik; n.) a small, exclusive group of people; coterie; set.
WE ARE HUMAN. We associate ourselves with people that we click and interact with. Everyone does it, and thats how it's going to work until humanity gives up on itself.
And even then, we will still be associating brandnames with wealthy people, popularity with sports, cutting with the emotionally unstable, video games with hyper active and/or academically successful, the "short bus" with the mentally challenged, and sexually provocative nature with the unabstinent.
Why do you think cliques have such a stereotypical reputation? Were you in a clique, or are currently in a clique?

columbine? two people cant make up a clique. and i believe it was called the Trenchcoat Mafia. that was their gang or whatever you want to call it.
as for everyone being in cliques, I'm not. i talk and be friends with whoever i want, no matter what kind of person they are.
there is this really huge and nasty clique at our school that got me kicked out of school once. i dont want to say im in a clique like thiers.
not everyone is in a clique. get over it.

EVERYONE is in a clique.
i wish these stupid wannabe kids would stfu about being different
because there's always a group of people doing that
i don't see it as a bad thing i see it as more of a "i have alot in common with these people" type of thing
i don't limit myself to one set of people
that's just stupid

i remember a clique called the kkk
and columbine
I wouln't call that a clique, but more like radical hate groups. You may as well through in the Nazi party and several gangs if you're in that frame of mind.

Humans, like most animal, are generally herd dwellers. A clique is a form of herd, therefore people form them for strength from other herds that will eat them.
^ My general opinion.

Sorry, I thought you were coming off as one of those people who are against cliques. My bad.

Lol all I'm trying to say is they aren't always good. No need to call me an idiot.
Kevin Devine, February 1st, 2009 at 03:08:47pm
These blogs are all the same.
People should just stop making them because everyone knows it's going on and there's nothing we can do about it.
Cliques are a part of life and always have been.
Yeah thats me..., February 1st, 2009 at 02:19:11pm
You're just an idiot. The KKK? Columbine? Not exactly cliques, a hate group and a few really really angry teenagers? Ok maybe Columbine can be a clique, because teenagers do get together and get angry.
Ok, cliques happen. Even if you're not a specific "label", you have a clique of people who all hang out with mainly each other. Most people are friends with people who are friends with your friends. That's basically a clique.
