Homework Hassles The Popular Kids Bullies Make-out Parties How to Kiss What's Bugging You?
At every school there's a high profile clique, often referred to as the popular kids. The popular cliques can be middle school, high school, or any type of teen cliques. These cliques give any type of clique a bad name.
If you could rename this group maybe you’d call it the Power Clique. The Clique that many other kids look up to or the clique that many kids suck up to would be more realistic. This is true for any teen clique, middle school clique or high school clique.
Popular cliques aren't always as fun as they seem. Members are always worried about getting dumped if they don't follow clique leader rules - and facing humiliating peer victimization. Sometimes following the rules means being nasty to others and if you refuse, the clique may do nasty stuff to you.
Think about the popular crowd and the word “popular”. Popular means well liked. Does the word popular really describe all these kids? C’mon. Are the popular kids really liked by everyone—even the kids that they treat as though they were in a perpetual state of head lice?
To be popular in the true sense, you just need to have friends. It doesn't matter whether you are in this clique or not. It's most important to hang out with people who like you and you like a lot.
Cliques are only awesome if you're part of middle school cliques, other teen cliques or even high school cliques that make you feel like you are important by being yourself - not following questionable rules.
