Cliques At War!
[/b][/u]Higham. A normal town? You wish. Northern Carolina an average southern state. Normal town with normal people.
Cliques are small exclusive social groups of friends, sharing common traits or interests (be this based on music, dress, sport etc.) There are usually hierarchies of cliques among teens, from the popular group to the losers. Virtually everyone is part of a group during their teens, even those who see themselves as loners will be grouped together by onlookers.
Cliques can become guarded and hostile to outsiders. One of the ways cliques reinforce themselves is by putting down whoever isn't in with them, using teasing, taunting, and violence;
They can leave you devoid of individuality and prevent you mixing with people outside your group. Cliques often require some uniformity among members-in appearance, in attitude, or in behaviour-to distinguish their group from other people and from other cliques and reject anyone who is different;
They can make you act differently from normal in an effort to fit in; They can dump you at the drop of a hat, leaving you isolated and vulnerable.
But whatever you do, have fun at Cliques at War!
