[quote=Anonymous][quote] But new friendships and groups seems to be the norm. And is it the norm that these new friend groups form around excluding one kid who was in the previous iteration of the group? That’s what this thread is about: excluding one kid. We’re not talking broader social dynamics here; even if friend groups are somewhat fluid, blatant exclusion still sucks. [/quote]
Yes, that is happening. Off the top of my head I know a girl was trash talking other girls behind their backs and was excluded when those girls compared notes and shared the comments, another girl was excluded because she violated girl code when she hooked up with another friend's ex 2 days after they broke up, another girl talks about herself/brags too much and people got tired of it, one girl spends way too much time with her boyfriend and only reaches out when he's not available, one girl has body dysmorphia and couldn't/wouldn't recognize that was creating problems for other girls, one girl posted too many embarrassing photos of other kids (throwing up, smeared make up etc), and another girl was deemed annoying for constantly pushing her beliefs/ideology on other kids. Of the boys I know about, one broke a shower door at a party and another threw up on a couch - neither offered to fix/repair the damage.

While I agree it sucks to be excluded, I don't feel sorry for any of these kids. They need to learn that words and actions have consequences, and as painful as it may be, I think it's best to learn that lesson before college. But I don't put too much energy into it because as PP noted, HS groups are fluid, so the kid who's out today could be back in the mix in 2 weeks.  [/quote]
