They say at secondary school it is your time to learn and the place where you need to be, but in all honesty, just like the rest of the world, school is about the social hierarchy of things. You get all the popular group then you get the semi-popular group who are sort of with the populars but not really, and then you get the geeks. There are probably more geeks than anything else in a school because, despite the way that films make it seem, you can really cross section groups. 

When you get into the popular group and everything is fine and perfect, you don’t quite realise what’s going on. In some ways it’s like you’re in a dream, the perfect dream world so you cant see whats really happening. Then the bitching starts, and at first you’re the one joining in so its all cool. But then, you start hearing the rumours. That’s when you get sad.

I suppose when you first hear them, that’s the most distressing point of it all. But then you start to realise that if they’re really saying shit about you like that, then are they really worth it?

Now, I think that I should just stick with my good friends, the ones that I love, and maybe sometimes hang out with the ‘in’ crowd. 

It just seems so much more practical.
