I can honestly say that I do not belong in any Clique. I have a wide range of friends, and I try to be friends with everyone. If someone is a good person, and I like them, then why wouldnt I be friends with them? Because they are in a certain clique? I think thats crap. It bugs me alot when someone says something like, "Why are you friends with them, they arent popular." Its really really sad how people judge and label others. We as humen tend to judge, and Im not saying Im an exception. Because Im not. I try not to as much as possible though. I give everyone a chance, I think thats what we all deserve. A chance to show people your personality. But the fact of the matter is, its highschool. There are cliques. There are groups. There are rumors and labels and exclusion. People think they are better than others because of the cliques they are in. Im not into any of that stuff. Im pretty easy going. I care about peoples feelings, I would never openly judge someone and make them feel bad about themselfs. And if someone is a little weird or out there, I give you props. Because they are doing their own thing, which is an admirable trait. Going against the croud and whats "socially acceptable" apshh. Forget that. Be as out there as you possibly can. Show how unique you are. Stand up for whatever you want, because you know what? We are all different. So why is it that there is a certain category of things that are acceptable and not acceptable. If we are all so different. Why don't we have more outrageous cliques? Cause the only REAL cliques I see are the cliques made up of conformists. People who dress boring and casual.
Bottom line; Cliques are overrated.
Cliques are a waste of time.
Cliques are BORING!

Very well said! But I still wonder: what clique do people put you in? How do you get stereotyped? I assume you get put into the cheerleader/popular/preppy categories, but is any of that accurate? Or do you defy all conventions?
ReplyDeleteI probably do come off as a preppy cheerleader (Altleast I dress that way) But I honestly can say there is more to life than Cheering for a croud that doesnt care, shopping, and freaking out when a nail is chipped. I love 4 wheeling, mud, and hiking. Im not afraid to get my hands dirty. I love being in the country. All of these are traits not generally possessed by a preppy cheerleader. There is alot more to my life than the sport I engage in. Therefore, I think I DO defy all conventions. Because I may come off as that sterotype, but on the inside I couldnt be more diverse.
