Julie, a sixth grader, nearly always eats lunch with the same five or six girls. Julie's group appears to be a clique.
Cliques are close-knit organisations with rigid rules for membership and behaviour. Many cliques focus on preserving their status and popularity rather than being oriented on shared ideals and ideas. People in cliques frequently do everything together, as opposed to typical friendship groups where members are allowed to mingle with people outside the group.
Even though some people may believe that being in a clique is preferable to being excluded, many times those in cliques find themselves subject to a lot of pressures and rules. For example, they frequently sit together in class, eat together in school, and only associate with other clique members or those they deem to be "cool."
