lol High School - I think about it more these days now that my daughter is gearing up to head there. Her and I have many long conversations about cliques in schools and how it only gets worse with High School.

I was like thrall in my HS, I hung out with everyone and no one; I was my own parent all through high school and could come and go as I pleased (and I did!) - I still graduated Honour Role & Dean's List but really didn't put much effort or investment in it. I was dating my first husband then who was 7 yrs older and rode a Harley lol I was the shit and got along with everyone.

My daughter is in a private fine arts school currently where the cliques are a little different than the public system - these guys split by talent lol - The drawers (my gurl); The writers (my gurl again); The band geeks; The theatre arts kids; The singers and The dancers. They have no jocks period.

It's a pretty cool school but for HS she has to go back into the mainstream and it worries me how the change of environment (from sheltered to full on chaos), will affect her as she spirals headlong into being a fully complete teenager.
