The most important lesson high school teaches females is how to decipher between the useful types of friends you associate with and the piggybackers that do not genuinely care about you. In every clique of gossiping teenagers holds a general variety of friends. Although the individuals themselves are unique, the concept of their friendship is basic and is in every circle of friends. Surprisingly common kinds of friends are true-blue, moochers, episodic, and party girls.
Every high school girl searches for that one true-blue friend. This species is rare. Normally, an individual is lucky to have just one friend that is steady and dependable. True-blue is a title of honor that means trustworthy, constant, and non judging. This is the friend that

Moochers are the friends that expect your left overs and thrive on doing the minimum of what 's demanded of them. "Cheap, lazy, and selfish" seems to be their motto. Not to be depended on for giving 100%, they can still be decent friends. Going above and beyond for your special needs may not be their field of expertise, but if you just need to vent your thoughts about an exhausting day then they would suffice. This type of personality, depending on the severity, can make a relationship almost impossible if the “mooching” becomes too common. Nobody wants to go out for a weekend of fun with someone who is always begging them for money. A sure fire way of spotting a moocher is when they swear by the phrase, "I 'll pay you back, I swear!"
Females fall into this trap of only inviting certain people when they need something from them. These friends are episodic friends. Close to the concept of a moocher, episodic friends are more frustrating. They are not dependable and pop in and out like a mole rat in the arcade game whack-a-mole. They may call you and make plans but then turn around and cancel because a more exciting friend became available. Episodic people keep friends on back-burners for when they need them. Treating friends like scraps of leftover food is not an effective way to make life-long, quality

This show shows most of the sociological concepts that we have learned in class for example the show has groups and organizations, deviance, sex and gender, and socialization/social interaction.

    Although identifying as neither male nor female is a slightly more modern and lesser occurrence, every non-binary person is valid nevertheless. Erasing their validation means erasing numerous lives from now and throughout the past. There are many examples of important historical non-binary figures. Jemima Wilkinson, for example, was an evangelist in the late eighteenth century who founded the “Society of Universal Friends.” After suffering from illness in the late 1770s, Wilkinson renamed them-self a variation of “Public Universal Friend” or “The Friend” according to different sources, and refused to use “she” or “he” pronouns.…

    The more “elite” the institution is the higher their average students, not only standardized test scores, GPA making it more competitive and more important that a student’s GPA is high enough that they will have a greater chance of being accepted. Elpus shows that participation in music classes increase a student's GPA (137). This, along with the increases in students’ test scores, illustrates that reducing or eliminating the funding for music programs is, in fact, detrimental.

    Human social relationships all have one thing in common: the essential ability to form attachments. In order to form these attachments, the human body experiences seemingly miniscule yet significant changes on both a psychological level and a physical level. Two key factors that play into the biological level of close social attachment in humans, and in animals- specifically rats- is the role of the neuropeptides oxytocin (OXT) and arginine vasopressin (AVP). The close attachment one feels when entering a close social relationship is based on the biological neural and chemical components that trigger these feelings we have on a psychological level. Interestingly enough rats experience this phenomenon as well.…

    Concerns have been raised in the 21st century about the young adult’s slowing transition into adulthood. Robin Henig discusses these concerns in her article “What is it About 20-Somethings?” by writing on the topic of emerging adulthood, a period before adulthood that sociologists believe may be a new distinct life stage. Henig addresses the idea that young people in America have put off the traditional milestones such as completing school, leaving home, becoming financially independent, marrying and having a child. More recently, technology and the use of social media have become popular and prevalent among young adults and children, a point Maria Konnikova brings up in her article “The Limits of Friendship.”…

    Moving away from everything you have ever known sounds like a very daunting task. It seems even more insane to move the summer before your senior year. Even though it was scary, moving 5 hours away my senior year taught me many important lessons. Just like Beowulf showing courage in his battles, I was courageous and started my whole life over. The giant move I made taught me that friends are not always true, happiness is self-caused, and life is too short to stay somewhere for familiarity.…

    At almost any highschool, the components of teens is clearly evident: cliques that are self dissociated by gender, race, age, and character of the children. Cliques are used to describe an adolescent social group of teenagers used to describe themselves and others-such as jocks, druggies, populars, brains, nerds, normals, punks, freaks, and skaters. However, there is such a thing as groups that are completely based on friendships. These types of groups form when the people in them have something in common. Friendship groups are how every group of high school students should be.…

    When I was young I used to choose friends by how much fun I had with them and if we had any shared interests. I didn’t pay attention to the important qualities. People that I used to be friends with would disrespect their parents and go against their will. They would choose to partake in inappropriate activities that I wanted no part in. I would feel awkward in most of the conversations we shared due to the topic or the comments that were made in them.…
