High School Cliques Confusing For Teens
Everyone who went to high school is familiar with this social caste group. Did you belong or were you one of the so-called outcasts? There are so many interesting and talented kids in every high school who are excluded from the popularity contests which high school cliques embrace. Generally, these kids feel rejected, believing they just aren’t good enough to garner the attention of these paragons.
The high school clique phenomenon is age-related and a developmental phase. When kids are little, parents generally try to teach their kids to get along with others. However, when the child reaches high school age, some of these same parents encourage this exclusivity, wanting their child to be amongst the popular ones. Do they suppose it’s now better to belong to a high school clique, thus ensuring social standing amongst their peers? It makes you wonder, what happened to the getting-along teachings? Sometimes, parents are simply reliving their own high school experience of being on the outside.
