Heather is desperate to join a clique. Her Plan is to join five clubs, one for every day of the week. She hopes to break into a clique by getting to know the "right" people. How important is it to belong to a group? Do you think some people are happy not belonging?
I think it is important to have friends, but being popular is not everything. If you feel like you aren't being yourself around your friends then they probably aren't that great of friends. I do think some people are happy not belonging, but most just can't find friends. I think that even if you prefer being alone you should have one really close friend to confide in.
ReplyDeleteHaving friends is very important, but you dont need to be in a group. I dont belong into a certain group and im perfectly happy. Heather is trying way too hard to be like the person she wants to be that she isnt focusing on being herself. The fact that she wants to meet the "right" people is great, but i thought that Mel was one of the right people and that if someone else at merryweather high was the right person, that they would have talked to her on the first day when she was new. thats why Mel is the right friend for Heather.
ReplyDeleteWell to me it is important to have friends that support in whatever you choose to do. You don't really need to be in a group. Well in my perspective there is no "right people". You can be friends with whoever you want and you don't have to change youself in any way shape or form.
ReplyDeleteHaving friends is super important! You don't have to be in a certain group though. I've always been told to have a variety of friends. Maybe a few crazy ones, some quiet and shy ones(like me), and some that are a little bit of both! To me there is no such thing as the "right" friends. I think as long as they are honest, trustworthy, like you for who you are, and will never hate you no matter what you do are the best friends you can ever have.
ReplyDeleteCliques stink. They exclude other people and might make the people in the cliques snobbish. (whoops, too late for some peoples)There really is no such thing as a perfect person, but you shouldn't hang out with "good enough" people when you can hang out with people that you like.
ReplyDeleteI think it's important to be friends with people who enjoy doing the same things as you and support you, but excluding yourself to hanging out with a certain group of people is stupid.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's very important to join into a group purposefully. The reason shouldn't be to become popular. Everything should happen as you go because you want to fit with people who like you for you and who you pretend to be. Some people are happy not belonging to group because to be honest groups can cause a lot of problems sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI dont think people should have "cliques". I mean if someone asked to sit at lunch with you just say "why not"?! and let them sit there. You should have a variety of friends and not treat people that you think are "less" than you like dirt. Be friendly with everyone and it will pay off because people are more intrested in how nice you are than if you wear brand name clothes, or how you look. Just be yourself and the right people will find you.
