The “cliques” that are used to describe high school groups, is sadly true in our society today. You have student A: privileged athletes also, known as Jocks, student B: the do gooders, the ones that want to learn and make their parents happy, student C: the ones that are just there because it is the law and of course student D: usually the main character in a novel or movie; the outsider.

Adams High School marching band, on my saxophone. I was determined to make a great first impression on the high schoolers by playing every note correctly and with perfect pitch. I did not want to appear inexperienced. The reason why I did this was because I hoped to be embraced by a group of people with similar interests as mine. This was a golden opportunity to become a part of this group: one that I could not miss. On the day of the performance, I made sure to arrive at Adams High School
so maybe I can too. I wanted to quit high school my freshmen year and do home schooling because I didn’t really have any friends, I was picked on and every night for a week I came home and cried, I was left out my friends form elementary we’re drinking, doing drugs and having sex well I’m not that kind of person, so they excluded me.
