Category: Let's talk
I've noticed with some amusement that the members of the prevelant clique, are being ignored by their so called friends. I wonder why anyone would want to bother trying to fit in with a group who obviously couldn't care less about it's members? did they really hope to find friendship and a sense of belonging, hmm I have to laugh at how they have been so easily fooled
i'm with ya alex.
Perhaps all the rejected ones should just form their own clique and not worry about who rejects them or what have you, providing these asorted folks can get along well enough and feel they have enough in common to form a group. So the cool kids won't let you hang out with them. In school I never hung with the cool kids, but I'd wonder what kind of small-minded jerk I'd be if I did. Plus weren't the cool kids nothing but jocks and cheerleaders? High school was so long ago, and I probably had enough trouble finding some nerdy kid to talk to. LOL! Being cool is too much about mass conformity and following trends for my taste, so I think I'll be a clique of one. Hahahahahaha!
Isn't any group who hangs out together a clique? Whether they are the "cool kids" "nerds" or whatever?
Relatively new kid on the block, don't think I belong to a clique. However, could someone explain this post and what it buys us? I imagine there may be a lot of others in the same state of confusion that I am.
Bob
me being one of them.
I'll second that call. Who is this topic aimed at? which people are ignoring which people? Definitely confused.
I dunno what clique he's talking about either. It could be real or imaginary, although I think in any type of place, real life or internet, where people gather, cliques happen, and they are only bad things to the people who feel left out of them. This is why I say if you feel like you don't belong, find your own group of like-minded folk, form your own clique and do your own thing and donn't worry about what the big clique does or says or is or isn't.
Hmm but would the clique of rejected cloned robots be willing or indeed able, to form their own clique, when they have shown no aptitude for thinking independently. I think not and it's all too real mate sadly all too real.
I think I'm going to have to agree with Gobblin on this one. I'm pretty much one of those who will just try to make friends with anybody, and don't feel like I need to belong to a group. I've seen a lot of these younger folks in particular form these so-called groups, or even what they consider friendships with each other, and everything appears fine until they start telling each other their business, then get mad, because someone goes and blabs it to someone else, when they know they shouldn't have told it in the first place if they wanted it kept confidential.
I had a couple of friends I went to school with who were like that and it drove me nuts, and that's one reason I don't have anything to do with either of them to this day.
lol...a substitute teacher told me once that even if you don't conform to the specifications of a cleeque, you're still conforming to the specifications of those who don't conform.
so therefore conformitism rules anyway.
most people who say they don't conform are conforming anyway.
so nonconformity is a myth.
lol...but this is the same teacher who didn't know the causes of the french revolution....and he's meant to be a history teacher?
Hmm your both right and unfortunately every type of nonconformist rebellion is now passe, so what can the next generation do to piss off society. Teachers I despair.
i dread to think. we young folk always seem to find a way to be noticed.
i think purely the fact that the age that young people in public schools can have sexand get pregnant is perhaps a new levil.
and also that older people accept it as the norm is a frightening thought.
Hmm your dead on the pregnancy rate among tennagers has rocketed in Scotland alone, A. they feel a desperate need to have something to love, B. Also they use the child as a way to secure a house and large benefits, to escape their home life,more should be done to find out why teenagers are prepared to take such an extreme step.
true, i think it's a combination of things, i think that the social service systems of many countries contribute to it. there's just too many kids in too many bad situations and the government can't handle it because there's no resources to spend..."waste" as some governments say, on them.
they'd rather spend it on invading small middle eastern nations.
And the bad thing about that, is the majority of the time, these teens are getting pregnnent, and their parrents end up raising the babies, because they've finally woken up and discovered there actually comes responcibility when having a child, and they still want to be teenagers and go out and party with their friends than take care of a child.
I knew someone who ended up having 2 children at 17, and acted like she really didn't know how to care for them, and from what I heard didn't really want them in the end. She ended up coming with her family to a cookout we had one 4th of July, and at one point her youngest son was crying his eyes out, and I was like "Where is this child's mother," and it turned out she was right there in the room just letting him bawl his eyes out.
Galileo exactly or use single teenage mothers as scapegoats for every problem involving children of single parent families. Juliet I agree in most of those cases the pregnancy is often purely for the money, the cycle is never ending with this kind of situation I wonder when or if people will ever get a grip.
Alex i agree, and when these kids get to high school what do you think that they learnt from their parents?
they learn how to play the same game their mother did...
it's a viscious circle.
hmm hmm I see it every day and they just do not seem to care and have no sense of direction your analogy of a lost generation describes them perfectly.,
