I think that Slade hit it right on the nose. There isn't much "identity" or "individualism" Many people do belong to a certain "clique", you're an outcast. Everyone is a sheep. But where i went to school, nobody discovered or explored other cliques unless they wanted something. A "popular person" would leave their group if they wanted say, notes from a "brainy person", or would talk to a "loser" if there was someone they wanted a message passed along to, or if they didn't do their homework, etc. Looking back, high school was a joke when it cames to politics, because it was a game manipulation at it's finest to get what you want
