Finding their place in a particular social group is a primary concern of most children. Cliques are groups of friends, but not all groups of friends are cliques. Cliques may be formed in elementary school or in middle school. Sometimes cliques are made of kids who share a common interest and other times the kids in them want to be popular or want to belong. Typically, cliques leave some kids out on purpose and kids may act much differently than they did before they were part of the clique. Cliques can have both a positive and negative effect on individuals and groups, too. This program explores how cliques can affect a student and an entire school.
