I've noticed around my school, that people are always trying to impress one group or another, to try and be 'Accepted' by them. I made my group of friends by saying hi, and he introduced me to the others.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But, I think I should be ashamed of myself today. My other friend who I have known since year 7 said 'You're not hanging out with them today, you are hanging out with us.' Now 'us' is the 'cool' group in my year. Apparently, I've impressed them. The thing I'm ashamed about, was I went along with it. I just abandoned my friends!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think you have to have a very strong mental strength not to care what other people think, and that mine wasn't strong enough.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What are your views on this?

At small schools like mine you don't really have to worry about that crap :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure there are different groups of friends, but its too small for people to completely abandon one group for another :P

My friend, the cool kid always end up as the loser that collects your trash in the morning. Do not associate yourself with them!

Frankly, I don't give a dam about groups. Either your my friend or your not, I don't care about what little social group your in. As long as your not annoying or dangerous or something like that..

I have friends from loads of different groups at school and I see no reason why you cant just be friends with both groups

Me, I've always hated the idea of being "popular" and sticking out above everyone else, dunno why really. Never really had that kind of problem I guess :? . Anyways, the jocks hang out with the "nerds", there are no cool kids of cliques (never knew how to spell that..), everyone's just friendly and nice. Actually, everyone's smart and athletic and giving too. It gets kind of annoying after a while.

Ah, let's not forget the myth that the smart kid is going to be their boss one day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man, people have way too much faith in karma.

That cliche' is used a bit too much. I'm sure SOME of them do, but most of them do not. All the "cool" kids in my school are in college, and I only know about a few of the "losers", and they're not doing much of anything with their life, so...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's the SMART "losers" that wtfpwn you in life, the regular ones aren't special. :P

Be yourself, that way you see who your true friends are

Hmm I wonder what category you belong to :-k

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think it's a cliche, generally if you work hard you'll end up doing well for yourself while if you hang around smoking and dossing lessons you're screwed. It's even the same for girls, for example a girl I saw the other day, in school she used to be really hot but arrogant. Now she's pretty fat, well chubby anyway. Surely that is proof that karma is real?

As much as presents under your tree on christmas morn is proof that Santa is real.

So explain how she was hot but now is fat :x

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also why did you say 'morn', this isn't the 17th century Parabola.

You've got me bang to rights there. I can't. Flat out impossible. I did initially think she might have started eating unhealthily, or stopped taking adequate exercise, but I stopped and realised karma is a better explanation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also why did you say 'morn', this isn't the 17th century Parabola.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The moment took me. Your reasoning was on a par with witch hunt reasoning of the 17th century so I thought it might be what you're accustomed to.

Is that a capitulation?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't tell because my sarcasm detector is making a rather loud noise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, I saw that edit :shame:

I mostly hung out with "cool" people. I did my fair share of making fun of people, but I always did it just for laughs and not to hurt people...Never really singled anyone out...Most people just think I was pretty funny and tend to believe I liked everyone, because I talked to everyone and didn't care much about cliques.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But uh, why does that matter? :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yea, like I said, SOMETIMES it works out that way...Most of the people who smoked, drank and wasted time are now in college...Where I can only imagine they smoke, drink, and waste time, but whatever. I never drank or smoked anything in my life (I'm 20! GG!) so I'll be going to college for education, not drinking classes.

Also, I saw that edit :shame:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My GOD! You saw me edit my post? My life is destroyed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You tout that as though it's some manner of weapon against me, as though it somehow makes me wrong. Why do you think it bears mentioning?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yes, it was a capitulation. I concede and prostrate myself before a man of pure, undeniable logic.

Are we engaging in a battle of wits here?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or are you taking me seriously?

I have friends in every group at my school... The native americans, the "nerds", the "jocks", the "band geeks", the "drama geeks"... In total, maybe 37 people :thumbsup:

I try to get accepted by this community, I seem to be failing :ohnoes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

YES!!! \

Surely, you should be able to be friends with both crowds. If one crowd doesn't want you to be friends with the other, then you know who your true friends are.

Psychologically, acceptance is a huge motivator, and people really strive for any form of it. But for you to abandon a group you were already accepted with is just insulting to them and greedy of you. Those guys are most likely your true friends, and once this new clique gets tired of you, I'm not sure if they're going to want you back the way you treated them like they didn't exist.

Fact - The amount of presents under your christmas tree is directly proportional to how much positive karma you have. :anxious:

Fact - Money is also a huge part. No money? No presents no matter how much positive karma you have, no matter how much you have sacrificed for someone else, no matter what you have done to help everyone else out when you get nothing in return, no matter your intention, no matter...

its your choice. you got yourself into the mess

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

what you say about "impressing" is definitely true... even on these forums. theres a LOT of sucking up and trying to impress to random ppl on the internet on these forums -__-

Kinda weird to see people trying to "earn" respect to people they will never see in their lifetime. Not saying you should not be respectful, but its kinda of funny to see people say "you lost my respect".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, lost a guys respect who is hundreds or thousands of miles away. Oh dear, what ever shall I do? That 1 person out of 6 billion... I must.. faint. :ohnoes:

Yea, my schools just as small, maybe even smaller (650 kids in Middle School and High School combined, 250 in high School), and we don't really have this sort of thing, everyone accepts everyone pretty much.
