Citizenship 8 17 November, 2009

Today in Citizenship, we learned more about how clique's are hurtful. We learned about stereotypes and why it is sometimes harder to make new friends in a small school like ours. We learned about different types of stereotypes, including jocks and nerds. Today, what we really focused on is how stereotyping cliques can be hurtful. Example: if one school had a big clique of jocks and a small clique of nerds, if most of the nerds leave, leaving one or two behind, because of the nerds' stereotypes, they will not be able to make new friends.
