Answer 5

Well i go to a small school. My class has 60-70 students. Im now a freshman in high school. Our high school has i think about three hundred students total. I think it really depends on your class. Mine has probably two cliques because there are people like me who get along with a lot of people. Then there are the weirdo people that nobody gets along with. But when you get us together for a game like to cheer on our team we all get along and seem to have a sense of class pride. Im really excited for high school because i will have amazing experiences. Im also looking forward to this year's FCCLA!!!! YAY!! I cant wait!

It really depends on the location. There are always cliques, whether defined or undefined, in every American school. In the American high school system this is particularly common in 9th-12th grade (UK equivalent of Years 11, 12 and 6th form)... But of course, films will exaggerate the level of cliquedom (ex. Mean Girls). In most American schools, the "cliques" are very large and broad groups, with many students being in-between cliques or groups. American schools, at least right now, will almost always have these cliques:

1) Preppies: they are polo-wearing, most often with popped (upturned) collar, wearing bright colored clothing, especially clothing labels Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, etc. (popular among middle class)

2) Skaters: who may or may not know how to skateboard, they sport long, unkept hair and wear black or brown most of the time. Clothing labels: Volcom, Quicksilver, etc.

3) Band people: they are a mixed group of mostly smart people, sometimes associated with nerds.

4) Emos (short for emotional), they wear black most of the time, sometimes with some red. Relatively quiet and reserved, they wear dark makeup (both boys and girls) and are often known by having long hair with bangs (fringe) brushed to one side of their face.

5) Nerds. They are a very well known clique worldwide. In America, the nerd stereotype is usually true. Shy, quiet, smart, "unfashionable" clothing, etc.

Other groups include jocks (varsity/junior varsity athletes), which most often blend in with the preppies.

Answer 7

yes there are cliques.

they start *somewhat* in middle school..in high school, everything intensifies. drama, drama, DRAMA omg it's so annoying.  !!  I am sooo sick of all these stupid little teeny boppers always trying to p**s each other off.

but if you hang out with a nice crowd it's not too bad.
