Groups and Cliques

I find that in many high schools, there are groups and cliques that just dont get along. Even in my high school there is some. But my opinion is that we shouldnt act like that. High school is a time where we should be maturing and getting ready for the real world. Sure, there will be some people that dont like others, but we shouldnt be in groups and cliques. Yea, i understand that we would rather be around certain friends than others because we get along better with them. But, we shouldnt act like middle schoolers, and always have grudges from something that happened in elementry school. "BillyJoeBobGregSmooter, you stole my pencil in 1st grade, i'm never talking to you again". That's what kind of people we have in high schools today. There is someone at every high school that is holding a grudge from something that happened in the past. Get over it. And that's where groups and cliques start to form. The cheerleaders and football players under the tree, the soccer team gets the 2nd bench from the garden, the band sits in a little square of benches. NO! (i'm tryin to offend anyone who are in those activies, i am in band, and used to be a cheerleader) Why does everyone always have to separated?? Yea, sure, we all want to be with our closest friends, but that shouldnt stop us from talking to other people. We all have our differences and opinions, but the fact is that we are all people. I remember, when i was in 7th grade, i wanted to be friends with these people so bad. But they told me that before i could be friends and hang out with them, i would have to go punch somebody, so i did. Then later on that year, some people didnt want to be friends with me because i didnt belive in witchcraft, and i wanted nothing to do with it. But they got over it and we were friends again. But i had moved away from that town later that year due to my mom gettin laid-off and we had a house paid off in a different town that was about 2 hours away. The 2nd day i was in the town was a sunday. My mom had grew up in that town when she was younger, well her friend's daughter was my age. She was my friend friend i had made when i moved there. And me and her are still friends. Sure, we dont hang around the same people, but we are like sisters, and we are here for each other, and every now and then we go up to each other's hang out places and talk. I get along with more than 75% of my school. Why cant this world be like that. We shouldnt be mad at everyone else. The Jocks and cheerleaders shouldnt get mad at the chess team. The football team should down the band, and so on and so forth. My opinion is, that we should get along, because you never know when something can go wrong, and the people you hate, are all that you have.
