Clique it... or ticket

Lately, the cliques in my school have been more than annoying. And like most high schools, you have the group of "jocks," the "music hall nerds," the group of "girl best friends forever" and then you have the random groups of people with no name but you know they're always together and always hanging out. And really, I'd like to think of myself as being someone that can float anywhere and hang out with anyone. But lately, I'm coming to realize- this is not the case. Apparently, I'm part of the band nerds, or more commonly referred to: the music hall nerds. And after a recent "all-nighter" with 3 "music hall nerds" and a "jock" this became ever so prevalent and caught my attention.

Jocks and music hall nerds can't hang out. If this does happen, it causes the jocks to stand in the middle of the hallway and scream that one of their own hung out with a "bandie." Now this jock can no longer even consider hanging out with said bandies, and therefore cannot even consider about liking one of them. To me, this is ludicrous. Why can't one person hang out with another? Why does their "status" in the school so much? Are jocks really that much better to hang than the band nerds?

I guess this relates back to my previous entry; band nerds are concerned about their grades while the jocks are out there to have some fun- to live care free. So I guess "band nerds" can't have fun, or so it seems that's what the rest of the cliques think.














Here's the deal, I don't think it's so much that I don't like the jocks, I just rather not hang out with well, idiots. The fact of the matter is I can have fun without peeing on someones saran- wrapped car, yet the jocks find this fun, amusing, and spend their free time doing stupid shit. I guess this makes me and all my friends (who feel the same way) losers and we don't know how to have fun. But you know, that happens and I'm okay with that and I'm pretty sure my friends feel the same way.

What bugs me most is that people can't admit that cliques are a problem at ACHS or that they even exist. Obviously they do and obviously it's hindering the atmosphere of our high school.

I like this so far. It is so true and typical of high school cliques to not be allowed to associate with each other. I too was one who wanted to hang out with everyone but couldnt. :(

And as a side note, does your blogger url have to do with a DCFC song?
