Cliques
Every day in every school in every community across this country, children are mocked by their peers, making life for the victims unbearable. Ask middle or high schoolers what its like to be in school and chances are they will say its a miserable place because of all the teasing, bullying, and shunning. Perhaps the best evidence is the stories that you hear from your own children, or the memories you have from your own childhood. Children, parents, and teachers alike know cliques are a problem. But how do we help?
