When I was in High School most people only talked to their own “group” or “clique”. Almost every one was labeled by their group, jocks, nerds, band geeks, loners, freaks, stoners,the A-list, etc. All the different groups competed or hated on each other. I couldn’t wait to get out of high school. Personally speaking, I was a loner.

To answer your question, most people are trying to “be cool”, be accepted, be liked and have friends. Most people feel insecure inside, not sure of their personal worth. They feel everyone is looking at them and judging them. Many kids act mean, stuck up, cruel to others to keep attention off of themselves. “If I cut you down it makes me look taller”. “The best defense is a good offense.” Inside these same kids are often lonely and secretly feel they are losers.

In any school there are a few “lucky” kids who seem to shine – the football star, the cute cheerleader, etc. These people get off pretty well and the rest are often miserable. I found out that if I ever was alone with just one of the “stuck up” kids he/she was much nicer. The meaness seems to be about being in/out of the group.(think pack of wolves here)

Looking back, I was just glad I survived it and moved on. Very soon after you leave high school you will find yourself thinking, “I was so worried and stressed about this stuff in high school and now I can barely remember most of it.”

College and jobs are so much better. There will still be some people in cliques, but college and jobs are where you learn to think for yourself.

Hang in there, blow off as much of it as you can.

Good luck to you!

Probably the worst 4 years of anyone’s life… Just stick it out, it really does get better. Be yourself. I watched this funny movie with my daughter called Mean Girls…. It is a girlie kind of movie, but my husband liked it and also my sons did too! Brought me back to the high school days and really made me laugh… Yuck!!!!!

they are insecure with who they are cuz they dont really know their true self or identity yet. you might be reading them wrong too. mixed signals is very common in teenagers along with being poor level of honesty. dont sweat them, worry about real things like learning and engaging in new activities. I highly recommend reading more. i always wished I could have known in HS that it would be so vital in the real world. keep an open mind and try to stay out of serious trouble. on top of it all try to have fun while you are young, its really worth it! good lucks!

Yeah it sucks doesn’t it. It was the same way when I was in high school (which was many years ago). They are usually the most insecure ones. Be strong, do what makes you happy, ignore them and strive to be better.

they are trying to prove the “im better than you” thing, and they think that being that way will give them attention, just ignore them, because in the long run no one wants to be friends with that type of person, plus usually popular people (im my school anyway) are really stupid! just wait until college and they will have no clue what they are doing

I had that problem too. I am very shy and introverted. I have learned that I can change myself but not other people.
