High School Drama & Social Dynamics: Join the Discussion
Summary
FriendZone | Make Friends & Chat ⋅ Active Social Fun ⋅ Chill ⋅ VC hosts a deep dive into the persistence of high school cliques and toxic social behaviors in the digital age. This announcement explores how social media, ego, and influencer culture impact modern maturity. Members are invited to discuss why these dynamics persist and share their perspectives on acting one's age in a world influenced by online systems.
Ya know like the type of group of friends you see in High School
Jockeys, Popular Kids, Nerds, Isolated People, F-Boys with Perm hairs etc
Theres always those for every schools
Idk why to this day it still lives up to it
American Schools is now all mixed up with all of those but social media is heavily involved in em but this time people are just aware of one another nowadays compare to what it was back in the day
Genuinely speaking however
There was actually people that are one of these friend groups and usually they would most likely bully or harass you for no apparent reason and its like it sucks to see this still exists but its gotten worser and theres people that actually do support one another and some people just want to be fake nowadays like their egos is too high above their egos
And Adults in Gen Z’s still do be acting like they in HS while having Families or what not (aka Streamers btw)
Bro like the internet really do be fucking up people’s minds everyday and we are kinda manipulated by the system
Which i see why nowadays lots of new generation fucks with the new content creator/streamers that acts like they still in high school which still feels surreal af bc they know the money is going to be going up in their pockets once they realize this type if system is working
But i digress
Whats yall take
Ik its extra stuff on the side
Why do people ever act their own age?
Why do people hurt others for their own personal gain out of nothingness
And why do people’s ego’s gets the worse of em
Acting like they’re the bigger elephant
Im in high school so i agree 
- Acting your "age" is difficult to define but life has gotten significantly easier. Standards are now able to lower as we can now accommodate various types of people which can vary in perceived maturity level, and this comes with some obvious drawbacks.
- It's never nothing. People gather easy because of emotions, empathy allows for them to be shared which can either amplify or dampen said emotions through collective sharing. One person get's slightly annoyed, or percieves someone as slightly outside of the norm, this is shared, amplified as they're observations are validated by others, and it continues from there until there is an escalation that results in social correction. But most of the time it is an ego thing which can circle back to my previous point.
- Ego's are what people are. Everyone has one, no matter what they say, and it's easy to get caught up in them. No one likes to have their own identity attacked, whether or not it is being attacked or not, and the most common reaction is the first that comes to mind which is never all that thought out.
All that you describe is completely natural, if amplified of course by social media, and it's not that much different than any other animal that stick in groups. Adolescents explore, they interact, they react, and then there is need for correction by an authority figure. We seem to be missing the last part. Plenty of other reasons I'm sure that may stem directly from being in this modern era, and plenty of others that can be explained as easily as looking at animal behavior. In the end, the young will be young. Best way to get a better tasting wine is to just give it time.
Damn what a response
