[...] Not all social events are made equal. Try to attend events where you will meet new people or people you admire. Be socially adventurous. Resist the temptation to clique. [...]

Ali, Birdie, and Natalie Ann – totally agree, tried to express this in the last post I wrote all about releasing the stigma from the clique word.

One more: Foster Dissension. Not that way. Rather, make sure that you have friends who don’t agree with you on everything.

This is a fantastic post. All your notes are not only true for high school but for LIFE in general!

Like Ali said, I tend to ‘gravitate towards people I already know and like’ but am working hard to get out there and enjoy everything and everyone!

Cheers to being ‘socially promiscuous’!

This is so relevant and so true.

Sometimes I wish parents would tell their kids “you aren’t cool in high school – cool comes with age, knowledge, and acceptance.”

Inside jokes ARE lame, but I have to agree with Ali in that we ALL attach to cliques. The amazing folks are those who find ways to span between cliques, and connect people (including themselves) – regardless of what group they’re associated with.

Socially promiscuous… I like it!

I think it’s impossible not to belong to a clique of some sort, whether you intend to or not. It’s not always so much about being exclusive and uninviting as it is simply gravitating towards people you already know and like.
