Furthermore, students or people included within a clique usually change who they are to fit into a clique of their preference. If the members of a clique dislike what a student wears, smells like, and even what they do after school; this student could be bullied, teased and even harmed. This results in uncomfortable clothing being worn, disgusting cologne or perfume applied, and students possibly doing things that they despise. Most cliques have dress codes, hangout spots, and always a leader commanding and bossing other people around. In some cases, colour codes, and similar clothing will be worn to follow a trend.
That's where people get on my nerves, they think all that cheering involves being the best and most pretty person who dates the caption of the football team. Media portrays cheer leading the worst, in movies and on television they make us look like the bully all the time. The key in cheer leading is not to be the best, it's who can have the best attitude and smile. Cheer leading is a sport,I do not know why people think that cheer leading isn't. My team worked just as hard if not harder than the football teams or any other teams for that matter.
In most cases, preps are the students of the school who only wear high dollar clothing, fix their hair just perfect every day, and prance around thinking they are better then the rest of the student body. They won’t associate with anybody outside of their clique, and hardly ever allow anyone in theirs’. Preps are usually very popular in their schools, and have many “friends”. They generally try to get into every club their school offers and
It seems that certain groups, such as the jocks and the pretty-girl-clique called “The Plastics” have an influence on the other less-empowered students at the high school. Their actions and styles were copied and commended by others. Further, The Plastics were even called, “teen royalty.” Cady’s status as a transfer student gave her the opportunity to be molded as one of The Plastics, showing her progression from a disempowered student to high school’s queen bee. In looking at the power that. The Plastics possess, it can also be noted that while people tried to imitate them, people also hated them for their selfish actions.
The movie explores the relationship amongst high school students who are socially separated, are forced together and find that they had more in common than they initially thought. The symbolic interaction theory supports this result saying, “Education emerges depending on the character of social interaction between groups in schools [and] schools are sites where social interaction between groups influences changes for individual and group success” (Margaret L. Anderson, 2008). Before the movie begins there is a quote from musician David Bowie saying, “..and these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations. They are quite aware of what they’re going through…” (Changes, 1972). The song expresses how people are aware of society’s views, so people try to change what society thinks of them and when they are trying to change they ultimately ignore what society thinks.
Katie Gathman Professor Star College Comp 16 October 2013 Pro Co-Mingling Legislation Apart of the typical every day college experience would involve the opposite sex. Usually having mingled classes with both male and female is a good part of the college experience since it gives the opportunity to expand a persons social circle and gives the chance to intermingle with the opposite sex. Some students have come from all boy and all girl high schools, which they may not of experienced the opportunity to socialize and talk with the opposite sex. Saying all of this, I am against the Anti Co-Mingling Legislation because I believe that socialization with the opposite sex will help later in life, having the opposite sex in a classroom does
The class of 2018 is amazing, and we need to show the upperclassmen what we are made of. I would also like to get our class more involved in the fund raising process, because how much money we earn determines how amazing our junior prom will be. We can be the start of something extraordinary, and with the help of some leaders, we will blow away the seniors and the sophomore class will be who everyone looks up to. I want to be Sophomore Class President to help make your experience at Trenton Catholic Academy, completely unforgettable. Everyone always says “High School is the best years of your life.” And to me that sounds like a pretty big statement to live up to.
I tried to keep focus but my solitude was starting to become unbearable. Yes there were many students around but they all seemed to have their own network since they knew their classmates from their previous schools while all of my friends were in regular ed classes. I started to rebel and slacked off so much that teachers began to wonder why i was in a advanced class since they thought i couldn't hack their work load when in reality all i wanted to do was be placed in regular ed just to be with my friends. Odd and dumb reason, i know but I didn't know that at the time. Eventually I was moved from classes due to my insubordination and i was content at the time.
People have the tendency to live in a group and act according to their lifestyle. The identities are in constant flux change according to the group and in different situation. Examples of these groups are the students at Calhoun High School which Emily White describes in her essay. At high school, students like to separate themselves in small groups where they have the similarities in the way they act, dress, and behave. According to Emily White, “Their conformity is remarkable: in haircuts, necklaces, the way they slouch, they use their voices” (white 18).
Many students fell in love with subject in college that they may have disliked in high school. Two-thirds of college students graduate with a different major than the one they had
