When trying to define cliques, students gave various responses.
Many students are willing to associate and hang out with other groups of friends.
The cliques or groups are formed but not restricted by those with similar interests. These are only a few of the interests that bring people together as friends. Social standings and habits do influence a few cliques formed, but most students do not seem to be affected at all. Students said that cliques are really not there, and that outsiders put people into these groups to try and classify them. Many students felt that the experts in Littleton, Colo. tried to classify and blame one group of students when in fact it was just two confused boys.
