I'm in highschool and i've had great social success by not defining myself as being in a clique. Sure, I have a group of friends I hang out with more than most, but they're a diverse group of people. My best friends are both different races, and "social class" (If I must put it that way) as me. I have jock-ish friends and I have some friends involved in drama.
I hang out with people I like, who are fun to be around. I don't just hang out with people because we all are in a certain sport or club.
I think cliques can make highschool a bad experience, and it helps to mingle among all of them, rather than isolate yourself to a few people based on a few prominent factors.

When I went to school there was the usual cliques:
Jocks/Cheerleaders
Honor Roll Students/College Preps
Druggies/Drinkers
Popular Crowd
Under Achievers/Poor
I hung out with a small group of girls that did not have a label. Because of this, I was able to move between the cliques without repercussions.
When you graduate High School, the barriers and labels invented by your high school class will blur, become unimportant.
Most importantly, don't let labels limit you, keep you from being yourself. Don't be afraid of what others think about you. The only thing that matters is what YOU think of you!

I guess I was in a group of my own. I had friends in all the cliques from the popular to the nerds to the jocks, mostly though I think I hung around with the hippies and the what I guess they would call the bangers. I never liked to limit myself and I always got along with everyone.

I hung out with the skaters/goth people also known as the group most likely to pull a colinbine (though we really were not that tipe at all!!) I was the only girl out of 15 guys and had a rep for beating them up even though it was all fun and games to us. I now am married with a great son and another on the way and none of those people I hung out with I even talk to and they make no diffrence to me now either and belive me at that time I would have done anything for them because I thought we would be friends for ever. It doesn't matter once you are out of school really just have fun and do your work and be kind to all.

Depended on the year, really.
8th grade I was new to the area and quickly got in withthe popular kids (I have no clue how!)
9th grade, the stoners. they were more realistic and down to earth.
9th and 10th grade - Theater kids.
mid 10th through 11th - a floater - I had an in with every group, mainly because I knew how to keep secrets. I had the head cheerleader telling me secrets, freaks, geeks, theater folk, art folk, everyone! I was welcomed everywhere and to everything.
Then we moved from a lower middle class school to a rich school - and I do mean rich. yet we were still just upper middle class - lol!
My patterns stayed the same - I hung out with everyone, in every group, because I could. because I made my friends based on who the people were, not their group.
By end of HS, we had our own group, of no real determinate nature.

We didn't have defined groups in our school. The music people were some of the popular kids, the drama kids were the most popular, our jocks sucked and were kids who thought they were much cooler than they were.
When I was in grade 9 I hung out with some of the nerds and punks.
When I was in grade 10 I hung out with the punks and popular people.
When I was in grade 11 I hung out with the popular people, punks, and some of the cooler jocks
When I was in grade 12 I hung out with the punks, goths and nerds.

In my first highschool I hung out with the pretty girls and cute guys. I really stood out because I'm not pretty, but I got along with them okay.
In my second one, things got confusing. First I hung out with all the gay guys and weird girls, then I migrated to the boys with long hair who hung out at a wall (that type), then when I learned they were making an effort to be the "wallers", I switched to the football players. (Mostly for protection. I was the small white girl so alot of people wanted to hurt me.)

My school doesnt really have stereotypical cliques. All the cliques are made up of completely different people. There is no clique consisting of only jocks, drama kids, etc.

i come from a small school. i was in just about all of them. i was in drama club, track, soccer, i could party with the best of them though i never smoked pot i was around the kids who did. i even know who you could get the best stuff from in school. i had high grades i am an eagle scout though may not act like it all of the time. i was the go to person suck up/ class clown. teachers couldn't hate me but they seamed to yell at me enough. i all so played the drums and i was the tech geek of the school all of the teacher asked me how to work all of the equipment.

hmmm...my school is pretty complicated-well from high to low, it's like the mean girls/plastics(whatever you want to call them) they're rich, preppy, and wear designer brands, next to them are the so called jocks who everyone adores, than there's the upper middle people who are sort of preppy but keep it real, then there's the normal people-they don't bother anyone and no one bother's them(fair enough i say...) then there are just the plain loners, who nobody wants to talk to or cares about.
