Clics


                There are all different kinds of social groups at school and another name for them would be clics.  If you have not seen any clics at school then you must have a strange school or you just don’t pay attention.  There are the jocks, the plastics (popular people), the nerds, the band geeks, the pot heads, the country folk and so much more.  I recommend that you watch this video because it talks all about social groups.

                Depending on which social group you are in, you view school as a social opportunity or just as another way that the government is trying to control you.  School isn’t just about learning, it is more about preparing you for the real world.  The government wants people to succeed in life and school gives everyone that opportunity in the United States. 

                If you are sitting in a class that has free seating or choose where you sit, it is easy to see the separation of social groups.  You can also tell who is in which social class by looking at the way they dress and how often they participate in class or even interrupt in class.  If you don’t have free seating and are stuck next to a person of a different social group, don’t worry, most people don’t bite.  It may be awkward but they are probably thinking the same thing as you.  Like, why do we have so much homework?  Will that kid over there just shut up?!  Many people have a lot of things in common and being in a different social group shouldn’t stop you from communication with one another. 

                A person can also be in many social groups and have a lot of different friends.  That can come in handy when you are stuck on homework or need someone to sit with at lunch.  I don’t think there could ever be no social groups and have everyone be the same.  It would be like a utopia society and our World right now is the complete opposite of that.  But don’t forget, there are still social groups at a work place, but it might be harder to pick up on because of a dress code or people not having as much time to socialize.
