Middle school was a lot of fun for me, I met a lot of new people and lots of new girls.

Throughout my entire life – just like anyone else – English and writing papers has been present. In our society, writing papers is a necessary part of educating our youth and helping them to become smarter individuals. For me, these papers have always been a dreaded experience. As soon as a teacher starts talking about a paper that is coming up, my brain instantly starts freaking out. From one-page papers that had to be written in middle school, to a twenty minute presentation I had to give at the end of my senior year – and everything in between – my fear of writing spans over most of my life and doesn’t seem to be getting any better.

Starting middle school was a mixture of anxiety and excitement. There was a brand new campus to explore, but we were also nervously anticipating the academic program that was about to begin. Most of my grade had been together since the age of four and by this time there were clear social divides. There were the girls who were seen as popular, and then there was everybody else. You could say that I was part of the popular crowd, though at the time I didn’t notice myself standing apart from the others. As a group of friends we got on well, we’d hang out, go to the cinema, have sleepovers, all the usual things friends do. Then things gradually started to change.

Let me start off by saying this reading really opened up my eyes. It’s crazy that there is so much that comes into consideration when being apart of a society. High school is a big part of many people’s lives, they need to make it out big in the hallways. This means that people will do anything in their power just to fit in with the “cool kids”. In reality there is such a thing of a higher status and a lower status, but the fact that in high schools it’s a huge problem is sad. When I was in high schools, which wasn’t that long ago, this was a big problem. People needed to have the hottest clothes, shoes, phones, and music, in order to just be recognized. The funny thing is was that, the “nerds” were very high in demand as well. The cool kids wanted to be on their side as

High school High school is a very crucial part of everybody’s life filled with many learning moments and also times that most would like to never redo.

    There are, apparently, many qualifications that you have to reach in order to be popular. If you did not wear the same brand of clothing or did not act like them, you were not popular. In the fifth grade, I was bullied from two main girls that I foolishly wanted to be. Well not a bully ,but to be “popular” like them. One of the two girls was my friend. At least I thought she was. I guess she was using me for when her and her best friend would get into a fight and then she would use me for a friend. She told me i was her friend; she just did not want her best friend to find out she was hanging with me. In other words, she was embarrassed of me. Her best friend was the

Trying to find individuality in a world of social expectations is the most trying challenge any one person is expected to overcome. “The Queen Bee and Her Court” by Rosalind Wiseman gives readers an in-depth look at high school cliques and social hierarchies, and the effects of peer pressure while trying to find one’s self. From the Queen Bee who utilizes her power to control the wannabes, to the target who is just waiting for the end of high school, everyone can see themselves as at least one of the author’s stereotypes. Before starting this assignment, I will admit that I was skeptical of the idea I could even possibly learn anything from this article. I asked myself “How can the author really know how high school is?” Over time, however, I realized the truth in everything that she wrote. High school is a place to figure out individuality and gain a sense of self. It is hard, however, to do so when there are so many social expectations and societal rules to follow. As I pondered the truth of the difficulty of these expectations, I realized that not only is this exemplary of high school; however, it carries on throughout college and even into careers. No matter where life takes someone on their path, there will always be a “Pleaser,” there will always be a “Target,” and there will always be “Sidekicks” and “Queen Bees.” The most important thing is learning to co-exist with the peer pressure that comes with the ever repeating social patterns.

In the famous movie, “The Breakfast Club,” we see how five teenagers, each a member of a different high school clique, spends a Saturday in detention together and realize that they are all more than their respective stereotypes. High school cliques determine who, what and where students belong. The typical high school has "cliques"; which are groups of students with similar interests that hang out together. When looking at what really goes on in the average high school, and how friendships are formed, it is amazing. When observing the jock, the nerd and the popular kids, one must wonder where they fit in and how these groups will affect the future.

When I was a child, being popular was the coolest thing ever. Friends that you could trust by a snap of your finger. All friends are different, there is that one friend that can no longer be trusted because that friend did something that affected you. The other friend that can be trusted and can be by your side until the end with your secrets and stories. Every person can be different depends if they are conformity or nonconformity.

To most kids in high school, social status and physical appearance are everything. A kid doesn’t necessarily have to be the most attractive person in the school to be considered popular, but sadly it seems to help amongst the more superficially minded teenagers. The jocks are seen as the “top dogs” of the school, due to their athletic physique and luck when it comes to dating. Cheerleaders are considered “the perfect, most beautiful” girls in the entire school, and some of them believe that makes them better than everyone else. I was viewed as a loser when I first moved to Plano, Texas. I had a chili bowl haircut, large glasses, and a thick west Texas accent.
