Clique's in highschool

[SpencerH]

What clique did you, or do you, belong to in highschool?

I was in an 'intellectual' clique. In modern terms we would have been kinda Goth but without the black clothing. A couple of us were also 'athlete' clique which doesnt seem to go together, but in the early 70's the lines were more blurry I guess.

I couldn't stand high school and never bothered to be in any cliques. I was one of those kids who belonged to nobody, but was tolerated by all.

I made it through the entire period without belonging to a single club, running for a single office, and in my senior yearbook I was the only person w/o a single "credit" by my name.

Spencer, I thought you would have been in the can't-be-arsed-to-take-care-of-own-lawn high school clique.

Errr...the popular one. Not the so-popular-you-have-no-true-friends kind but the everyone-knows-you-and-likes-you kind. I also mixed with the softcore stoner/punk crowd.

I became part of that clique after being part of forced-to-take-care-of-parents-lawn-clique.

My graduating class was 13 people, out of a highschool of about 95 total. We were too small for cliques, we all just kind of schlumped together.

I was in the nerd group, or one of them anyway.

Although I'd say it wasn't so much that I was part of a clique, as that I WASN'T part of certain cliques. Isn't a clique by nature somewhat exclusive? I can't recall ever thinking "that guy or girl is a loser - too dumb to hand out with us. Let's exclude them."

I cant imagine a class that small. I guess there wasnt much of a football team then.

No football at the school at all--Fall sport was soccer, Winter was basketball and Spring was lacrosse. The girls had field hockey instead of soccer.

Our class was unusually small, as the average class size was about 25 students.

I've never been part of a clique in school. It would involve actually talking to people

okay... I wasn't in any clique... early on, I hung out a lot with skater-types and punks, but soon expanded my taste in friends after the first year of high school. Senior year and after graduation, my close-nit group of friends consisted of one skater-type, a few non-preppy popular-types, one intellectual-type, and a few slacker-types.

I was friends with a lot of people from different groups, and I myself, didn't fit into any group. I played 2 years JV and 2 years Varsity hockey, but wasn't a jock (hockey was not a mainstream school sport at my HS, our division wasn't the same as other IHSA-Illinois-High-School-Assoc. divisions).

I'm most like JohnT's description, except for my involvement in hockey. During the "off-season" I played hockey from two different travel clubs... there was a hockey clique that consisted of different people from different social cliques in high school. After high school, I played 2 years with a junior team in the suburbs, but stopped at the end of the second year because it was obvious I wasn't going to make a career out of hockey.

I was more of a free-spirited type who crossed the clique lines and made friends with all types of people. I think kids might have more in common, personality wise, with kids from other cliques rather than the fashion-defined cliques that form in high school.

And all that bull**** disappears once you go to college.

Same here.

And Sava, unfortunately that depends on the college. Mine - the cliche crap continued.
