Clique anarchy

As a fifteen year old who has spent her entire life being called 'emotionally illiterate', 'abnormal', 'socially awkward', 'socially anxious', and just plain fucking weird, I have been forced to partake in studying my fellow adolescents in a sad attempt to 'conform' to their 'normal' way of living and thinking. Not as individuals, but as tribes, or 'cliques'.

For the last few years I've had a fairly large group of friends. I go to a very small school of roughly 300 kids total, so stereotypical cliques are usually pretty rare. My main social group this year contains a rough total of about 14 people. Now, in this social group, there are smaller subsections of friends. For example, I've mentioned the rather bitchy actions of certain members of the main 14 who I personally do not lable as my 'friends', those three are their own little unholy trinity of hormonal rage and Degrassi-esque drama. Another group of three are the girls who are rather intolerant and ignorant in many of their political views, and are not ashamed to say it. However, they possess no information or explanation as to WHY they feel this way. And even if they do, they'd refuse to express it. So, instead of handling this responsibly, they go around shouting this like 'ROMNEY 2012' and 'LOL OBAMA THINKS HE'S GONNA WIN CUZ HE'S LYKE BLACK' 'OBAMAS A TERRORIST' 'OBAMACARE IS THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO THIS COUNTRY LIKE EVER.' 'NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT YOUR DEMOCRAT SHIT, ROMMMMNNNNEYYY FO PREEEZZZZ'

Which, first of all, honey, people most certainly do give a shit her considering this is mother fucking Massachusetts.

But I digress..

They are their own group of antisocial intolerant people who are fine to speak with as long as it has nothing to do with sex, politics, health, social issues, gay people, education, the future, jobs, driving, college, America, other countries, or anything that isn't Justin bieber..

Again.. Not really labeled as friends..

Then there are the boys! Yes, there are four interesting gentlemen out of the 14 bastards I'm associated with. We've got the emotionally stunted, sardonic, testosterone filled, raging athlete, the socially awkward, brooding, egotistical musical protégé, the weird skinny one who we're pretty sure is gay, and the adorable 'chexican' (half Chinese half Mexican) panda who eats everyone's food, makes a lot of funny comments, and is willing to listen to you rant about how much you hate everything. The boys, however, do not talk to each other unless they're doing a group activity with the rest of us. They don't hang out just the four of them, they barely talk to each other. Which doesn't sound too bad to be honest, but it makes certain females uncomfortable.. And then use it as an excuse to get very snugly with them and it makes everything awkward and ew.

And then there's where I fit in. I am one of another group of four. This group contains myself, my oldest friend, two other girls who are each other's oldest friends. We've bonded over our love of food, culture, books, music, travel, and our mutual hatred of everyone else.

So yes. That is my life.. The 10 girls have one monthly fight (can't imagine why..) about how we all hat each other, everything gets ignored, and eventually were all just goin got self destruct and frankly I will enjoy watching it because I stopped giving a shit long, long ago.

So yeah. Misanthropy combined with teenage angst. Love it.

As you can probably tell, I sass teachers a lot.

Quick little story of my 7th grade sass..

I'm in Massachusetts, which means we take the MCAS test. When certain MCAS scores are low, schools freak out to try to improve them. When I was in 7th grade, the math scores were low. So we had to go 1 full hour math practice sessions per day in addition to our normal math classes, which were to give us extra homework for practice. Finally I just couldn't take it anymore. I said to my teacher, who was running the math practice session,

"Excuse me, but instead of thinking that the low scores is a result of students not getting enough math work, did anyone over there ever think that maybe it's inadequate math teachers?"

Yeah I got into a bit of trouble.. Just a bit.. Considering the teacher was an English teacher..

That's good.. Yeah.

K bye.
