The Clique series

collectively strolling in harmony; walking confidently as they seemingly portray the same styles and interests. These cliques seem to act as one. Within a strange sea filled with broken pieces of unity fastened with predetermined levels of exclusivity, outsiders like me almost seem to throw-off the synchronicity of it all. “Alright class, make sure you have all submitted your applications for a clique by the end of today.” My English teacher begins the period with her daily reminder that our future is quickly

of social status, they were the preps, the jocks, the wannabe preps, the general population (which included nerds and any outliers whose cliques were undefined), and lastly were the individuals labeled "freaks" by those of higher status. When I started high school, I almost immediately noticed the status and power of the girls who were part of the preppy clique. Even without being actively informed, everyone seemed to be conscious of their esteem, and this was not lost on me. During an interview

author of the bestselling "Harry Potter" series, has described herself as a bullied child "who lived mostly in books and daydreams."

Life as a teenager is arguably the most confusing, difficult, and stressful time in a person’s life. There is a great amount of expectations and insecurities placed on teens that hinder them from being active participants in the world.

She ponders, “Who is your everyone? Chess masters scarcely surround themselves with motocross racers. Do you want aborigines at your birthday party? Or are you serving yak-butter tea

the Song Dynasty raises increasingly fierce party disputes within the imperial court. Because the shared ideas and values through the education contributed to the cohesion of the bureaucratism and factionalism, which let many educated elites formed cliques for their private gain and many policies were not able to be implemented.

I started middle school alone with no friends and no plan. I did meet my best friend that day, only, I wanted more. I wanted to be part of a clique or group and have that big circle of friends. It seemed that everyone I knew had their own little cliques so I figured I should too or else I won’t fit in. Rob at the time had his first girlfriend, Alison Ashworth, and was right there and then experiencing his first break up finding Alison kissing another

superhero films. However, I love Superman and Wonder Woman films and television series from the 80’s. Remember the Superman movies starring Christopher Reeves and the Wonder Woman television series from the 80s (I grew up in the 80s)? Since we are speaking about films based on classic childhood favorites, I have another example to add: Goonies. A group of five boys (the Goonies) live in a town scheduled for demolition but this clique refuses to give up without a fight. When these Goonies discover One-eyed

This paranoia expresses the large growing issue of intolerance against those who follow the religion of Islam. Over the years due to a series of unfortunate events the peaceful religion of Islam and its followers have faced discrimination, danger, and disrespect. Fifteen years, six months, and seventeen days ago a tragedy struck new york when four members of an Islamic terrorist group known
