Critical thinking: Who’s In Who’s Out

High school, this was a place/world all on its own. It is like nothing else I have seen. In High School I did not have a group, but there were lots o them. There were the jocks, popular kids, kids with lots of money, losers, no-name and may be a few more. I remember that I never got invited to party's or things like that because people thought I was a goodie, when really I just didn't feel what they did was really worth my time. What Emily says'" Sitting on the sidelines now, I can still feel the adolescent loneliness in my guts."(15) This is me and I can relate to this statement.

Children can be crual to one another and not say very nice things. I was kind of quite in High School but now I don't care what people think of me and that has seemed to work well for me to this point. Emily seems to feel how I do and have some of the same thoughts and feelings as I do toward the situation. She says," The cafeteria is high school's proving ground. The place where you find out if you have friends or if you don't."(16) I think that this is so very true and think it must be like this in all high school's because I know mine was.
