Since people are ALWAYS complaining about the whole popularity and racial problems with teens...?

I have decided to put a stop to it.


I am a 13 year old teenage girl.


I hate how people at my school tend to stick with others of their own race just to fit in.


I hang with all different kinds of people, and I think it's stupid how people try to form little racial cliques.





I would like everyone to notice that popular or unpopular, within your race, or not, we can all get along.





So I came up with this plan:





I am going to introduce the 'populars' to the 'average' people.





I know they can all get along. They are just afraid to.





So...





how do you think I could go about doing this? I am going to start next year in eighth grade, because it is the end of the school year. I am already getting known (I always had potential to be 'popular', but now I go out of my way. That's why people know me all of a sudden), but do you have any other ideas to how I could meet more people next year?





The more 'popular' I am, the more people I can influence to learn to be friends with different people.

Since people are ALWAYS complaining about the whole popularity and racial problems with teens...?
I think you answered your own question. You just be the popular one and people will follow your lead like sheep. Lead them in the right direction. You already know what to do...
Reply:You can set a good example by being nice to everyone, but don't count on everyone being like you. Teenagers are at a developmental stage where they care A LOT about what other people think. They define themselves and each other by who their friends are.
Reply:Sorry. School isn't like that. There are always going to be cliques. At least it's like that at my school. I hope you can do it.
Reply:I like school and all and i am just like all yall i hate all the cliques and groups abd everything. I also hate that there are people in this world (cough, cough) High school that think they are so cool, and better than everybody else, and it is like oh he@# no you are not. No body is better than anybpdy else. Personally i don't know what can make anybody better than any other person anyway. I mean is it the clothes, or what. It is just straight up crap if clothes can make somebody else cooler, hello that is retarted. Cliques are dumb to. so you have the jocks the cheerleaders, the nerds, goths, well this doesn't classify anything because they are all just people anyway so why judge them anyway. And what i mean is that there are always the popular people always talking about other people, and it just pisses me off. Well i hope this is ok for you, i am just speaking my thoughts.
Reply:well actually teens are some of the most racial accepting people in the world. my group at school is one of the most ethnically diverse there is at my school. i'm white/native american, my friend is from the marshall islands(she's pacific islander), and my two other friends are mexican and they could have something else in them too but idk.
Reply:Ok so before I answer this question, are you doing this for yourself of for the other people???





Your new mission in live is probably as old as time itself. Trying to get different types of people to coincide in nothing new. Since the biblical times people "stayed with their own groups". Its human nature. It depends on background experiences and the way you are raised.





Look at it this way, what if you had a real bad experience with a person from a specific ethnic/religion/nationality? Would you still be comfortable with that specific type of person?





Look at America, they claim Muslims blew up the twin towers and already people are excluding them from everything and blaming them for everything that is going wrong. Of course they will start staying within their own group of people.





Psychologically people will become "racist" to a specific group that is constantly discriminating against them and will raise their children in the same way.





Like I said it depends on different aspects, many people will agree with you, but many will also disagree.
Reply:We can't suggest to you anything you don`t already know.


However, it is true that there will always be cliques.


That's just how human nature is.
