clicks

When you are a kid growing up in school there are always " clicks" clicks are people that form a group and they mostly judge everyone else. Those in the click feel empowered because their is strength in numbers. Those outside the group can feel like they are missing out or feel left out.
Bad enough this all occurs when we are dealing with so much other stuff in our lives and for that reason it can feel devastating. It can then effect everything else, your studies , and more importance your confidence.

Here is the crazy part- it carries over to adulthood - people feel empowered to be in a group , which as a whole does not have to be a bad thing. The bad thing occurs when the group decides to look down on those outside their click or group, to be judgmental or mean.

All those feelings from childhood can bubble up and takeover.

From George Carlin-

 “People are wonderful. I love individuals. I hate groups of people. I hate a group of people with a 'common purpose'. 'Cause pretty soon they have little hats. And armbands. And fight songs. And a list of people they're going to visit at 3am. So, I dislike and despise groups of people but I love individuals. Every person you look at; you can see the universe in their eyes, if you're really looking.”
