Re: high school in the united states/ arizona

Based on my particular experiences and other friends of mine through the country, I'd say movie portrayals are pretty inaccurate. A lot less clique-, at least not like in the movies. There are stoners and goth kids and preppy kids, nerds, and theater kids, but it's pretty common for people to bounce around in multiple social circles.
I remember a foreign exchange student had watched Mean Girls her first week here. She was very concerned until we reassured her that was not a realistic portrayal of high school life.

I've sometimes wondered if the clique thing is a small school thing? My school was so huge that you really couldn't have cliques, because you'd have no one to each lunch with or talk to in class if you were too selective. Whereas at a small school, I imagine it's easier for people to break into cliques. I did go to a small elementary school, and there was some of that, but elementary school's a little different in that regard.

I wouldn't say it's the same for small high schools either (or at least not in my experience). I went to a very small one (300 students total, from grade school to high school) and at that point, there's so few people that maintaining cliques is kind of pointless. there's friend groups, but the level of familiarity prevents isolation, I guess.

I would agree with this. I was one of 80 something students in my graduating class, and while there were definitely groups of friends, nothing like the cliques that excluded people that I see in movies or TV shows about high school.
