A dirty little secret that students need to know is that cliques still exist! We all know that not finding the right clique can make our high school experience problematic because we never feel that we belong.

Being a part of a clique usually means being a part of a group of people that will support you through your high school endeavors. Some students believe that being a part of a clique makes them important, while others feel it makes them safe.

There are various cliques in PHS ranging from the most popular to the not so popular people. Believe it or not, even the most unpopular people may become part of a clique.

PHS cliques include your jocks, cheerleaders, band geeks, nerds, emos, the weirdo’s, and the socially awkward people. These cliques make up the basis of our school, and, if you aren’t a part of at least one of them, you are technically considered out of the matrix.

However, don’t be alarmed. Sooner or later, you will find the perfect clique for you because there’s the right group out there for everyone. Just make sure that that the clique you join will make you, not break you.
