CLIQUES [pronounced "CLICKS"] AND POPLARITY Part 2

But cliques aren't necessarily bad. A clique can be a blessing because growing up is tough to do, and it's nice to have support of good friends who are going through the same things you are. Plus, you can have a few good friends in the clique and then other, more causal friends also. As the friendships shift and little arguments break out between people, you can shift your friendships around a little and still have the safety of the group.
