Nerd Or Anime Cliques

The groups that are formed as adolescents often determine group associations as adults and define an individual within their social group that will either set them with or against other groups. This is described in an article on social groupings by Colin Allen, which mentions that our social associations as adolescents are strong indicators to future patterns of social norms as adults. Therefore, the group of students in the movie, The Breakfast Club, can also be extrapolated to adult group dynamics. However, the varying social norms between groups can present conflicts when adults are required to function within a very diverse group of individuals. In The Breakfast Club, the Jock, Geek, Prom Queen, Delinquent, and the Freak groups are brought together initially through an autocratic or directive leadership role, used to bring the group together in order to proceed to the next phase of group development. This stage is particularly important within a group of

Another problem with high school cliques is that kids in them feel superior to some of the student who have trouble socially or are reluctant to be in a social situation. For example, a student transfers to new school and doesn’t know anyone. The cliques seem to feel superior because they already have an established group of friends, while the newcomer is still struggling. This would be a great opportunity for the high school counselor or the teachers to help students feel included in the high school social scene by introducing them to kind and friendly students. Cliques tend to have the same ideas or follow the same opinions on different topics. They usually think alike. When someone new enters the picture, they may have new ideas and opinions that may clash with the existing group. Their solution is to exclude that particular person, in order to keep their social circle “normal” in their minds, so they don’t have to change their thinking. “If students only spend time with others who are like them racially, socially, or otherwise they may never learn how to live and work with people who are different.” (Kay Herting Wahl, a University of Minnesota assistant professor of educational psychology) Cliques are so exclusive in this generation and kids are only associating with other very similar to themselves. This does not allow them to explore different people from different experiences or life

Entering into Saint Francis High School can be a bit nerve racking. There will be so many cliques around campus such as the nerds, jocks, and druggies. Not being able to tell which one you may fit into will make high school more intimidating than it really is. How will you know what cliques are a good idea to join? Is it possible to be stuck between two cliques? For any new high schooler, finding the right group of students is all it might take to get you through those four years.

My main friend group in high school was made up of the top ten. But, to let you in on a little secret I was 77th in my class. How did I fit in with such a smart group? Well, my best friend forever was one of them. And so, with her always having the same classes as the others we just all formed our own group and called ourselves The Nerd Herd. My school didn’t have stereotypical clique group names like jocks, poplar’s, nerds, etc. even though we called ourselves The Nerd Herd, we didn’t really think of ourselves as the “typical nerds”. We were the group that if we wanted to do something risky we could, but we never tested our luck with that to keep ourselves sane. We all had so many fun memories together that I wish I could have freezeframed and have them all last forever, but that’s not how life works.

common, who spend time together. Cliques often spend large amounts of time together, and don’t associate with other people. A person can move from one clique to another if they find another clique that better represents/supports them.

In addition, this only creates patterns of inclusion and exclusion, which demonstrates the creation of peer and social cliques. These types of students avoid others

Issue: With the evolution of nerd culture portrayed in television shows, a number of male individuals have felt entitled and misogynistic over a woman's body.

Out of all the stereotypes, I believe I am classified as a nerd. I have that high GPA and the nerdy glasses to prove it. I recognize this as a stereotype because of how media has portrayed it to me. People that seem like nerds all seem to share the same characteristics. They all have glasses, lack of friends, not well kept, all the technology possible, and they are smart and ahead of the game.

When I was in high school, we had several cliques (preps, jocks, choir kids, etc). The group I was apart of, we were like the misfits. Although we came from several different backgrounds, we all came together and developed closely bonded friendships. We were all in the same grade and had basically spent everyday together from sixth grade to right before college began. But our group did have some similarities, we were all white, born biologically female, of the same age, and all came from working class to lower class families. I still talk to at least two of the members today. Although the clique of misfits I was apart kept to ourselves, we were targets of the people ‘mean girls’ of our class.

It could be easy depending on their personality and what they like to do. If someone was played sports but was also really good in school they could associate with athletes and so called “nerds”. Cliques could have formed because it is easier to sort of know what they do or like to do and just assume that all people that like to do one thing or have in common can all stick together. To me cliques are good and bad they can help identify someone but then again it adds a stereotype to them, that ends up sticking with

When I was a freshman in high school I had a large group of friends. I live in a small town so the way spent our Friday and Saturday nights was either at school sporting events, the movies, bowling, or something of that sort. I also had a clique. When it was volleyball season I spent a majority of my time with the volleyball girls, especially the ones in my grade. We spent time together at practice, team dinners, and many other events. In the spring when it was soccer season my clique changed. I spent most of my time with the soccer girls because I was seeing them everyday. I also had a clique of just my girl friends. I typically did not see them much during the fall and spring season because of sport related events. After high school my cliques changed again. All of my close friends went to different colleges. So now my clique consists of my sorority sisters and my

When I first moved to Pennsylvania in eighth grade, I was told I would have to walk over to the district high school to take a Spanish class that was not offered to my grade at the middle school. A group of other kids, self named the “Nerd Herd”, walked over with me: each for a different class. I have moved five times, so I am no stranger to integrating myself into new groups of friends, but for the first time I was excluded solely based on people’s misinformed perception of my intelligence, or lack thereof. Whether it was the color of my hair, the clothes I wore, or the trace Southern flare in my speech, I was unjustly assumed to be “not good enough” for their pack. Every day I was reminded with sneers and sideways glances. Because it was

Many of these problems resolve in social cliques, Social cliques are groups that are created to discuss and solve teens emotional problems. Usually , a group of friends will get together and talk about something like if they lost a family member or something close to that. Most of these cliques rare in school without much opportunity , and should be made in a school where students have more choices and more advantages.

The last thing I am going to talk about is my social standing. Now I wouldn't say I'm in the "Emo group " but at our age it's the closest thing to it. Now I wouldn’t say i’m emo I am more scene. Scene is a group like emo but it’s more colorful and more happy than emo. My family has kind of inherited the “emo” friend group phase, we all have been in the emo group at some point in our

Usually Nerds make more money than "Cool Guys". The cool guys think of ways to get rich quick, But the Nerds try hard in school and are smart enough to be rich, Meanwhile the "Cool Kids" are still trying to figure out how to make money. In hind sight its not the end of the world. Rocks and Sticks are free. Don't worry the Nerds will sell you the technology you cant afford :v.
