Top 10 Middle School Cliques
These are the top middle school cliques! I created this because I am a middle schooler.Feel free to add the types of cliques you know of!
I'm weirdly enough in multiple groups and have LOTS of friends. I have the rough guys, then the weirdos, then the commoners, and they all hate each other... It's not a healthy relationship.
The normal kids usually have 3-4 members. They talk about random stuff and are BFFs. They are not popular.
They don't want to get caught up in the drama of a clique.
So annoying. There's this group of mean girls at my school who somehow decided to stand near us after school and watch us eat ice cream (it was an ice cream stand in March, okay?). They kept doing their annoying laugh while looking at us. They were making fun of us for eating ice cream when they were eating ice cream themselves!
This would be a good name for my clique because we are not girly girls.
The popular girls who are like, sooo obsessed with hair, makeup, and boys.
They always play sports! They usually do at least two sports, and they wear Nike, Adidas, etc. They are sometimes popular.
Technically, everyone can be weird sometimes, to be honest. I mean, there is that type of weird where you say odd or random stuff, or you just act out of control or random. I can be weird at times, but I have accepted that. I am not in this clique, but to those who are - way to be yourself.
The weirdo is probably me. I don't know. Some days, I'm just quiet and focused. Other days, I act like I drank coffee and forgot it had caffeine in it.
I am part of this one. I am known as weird just because I am a girl who listens to a ton of rap, and also because I am just weird if you know me.
Usually 2-4 people. They are besties for life, and everyone knows it! In class, they can lose focus because of their friends, which annoys everyone who says it's just because they are BFFs. In sports, they usually team up and are the last ones standing.
I totally fit into this clique. I have 5 people in my group, though we have a few other people who are wannabes. They act really mean, and it breaks my heart. But my group of 5 is the best!
I am in fifth grade, and I have two best friends. I love them. This is my group.
Boys and girls. Usually, some of them date. The dating ones are all cutesy, and the guy teases the girl. The others all love the couple's relationship.
That's my squad. We're usually the ones who are the most recognizable, but it's not bad.
I always thought I was one of the drama kids, but this describes my group perfectly.
My friend is the one to go to if you have a grudge against someone. She will find the grossest yet most accurate person to ship that person with and ruin their social life. By accurate, I mean she will dig up crushes from when they were younger, old hobbies, and gossip she heard while eavesdropping. Even if they do a single embarrassing thing around a gross person (blush, drop something, etc.), she turns it into a beautiful relationship made to destroy one's social skills and put them at the bottom of the popularity food chain.
She even makes ship cards that she keeps in her room, filled with reasons why she ships people. My friends are weird.
A lot of the people at my school are wannabes, and actually, most of them succeed and become popular!
They want to be popular, but they can't! They try too hard, and then everyone ends up disliking them for their attempts at becoming popular.
They fit into a few of these categories and are completely random. They are usually likable.
This babe wants to go hang with the cool kids and the immature kids. She's gonna go to everyone!
My group of friends right here. We have six people, and there are the normal girls, then me and the other two, the fish.
Now this one is VERY diverse. Okay, actually, not really. We just have the person who is constantly shouting out old, dead memes, and the genuinely funny person who is great at making references.
Yep, my school has a meme lord group. My bro is in it.
There is a group of walking memes at my school.
The Newcomers
They always try to start rumors or get attention from the popular and/or attractive kids.
Okay, so The Gays are just straight-up funny, even when you are friends with them.
Yes, so many, including me.
Kinda fit into this group, not gonna lie. #yeshomo
These are the guys doing stupid things for entertainment. They listen to heavy music, watch Quentin Tarantino movies, love hot food, say offensive jokes, and don't take insults too well. I am one of these guys, really.
These guys are your typical somewhat southern guys with dads who like '80s hard rock and drink a little too much beer or have a big sibling with a giant collection of death metal from when they were a teen (whether they listen to it or not). They recognize every popular '70s-'90s rock song and have heard it 100+ times, literally. They put BBQ sauce on everything, except when they have good ole Texas Pete, and are big fans of classic soda brands. They are elitists of dumb ideas, etc. Very nice group.
I have friends who are mature and smart. They all have good grades and are never immature. They are really good friends and loyal.
They rule. People in this clique are the ones who will be the most successful.
Mature? Not so much. Smart? Very much.
Everyone always asks if I had my emo phase in middle school or high school, but I had my emo phase in 3rd Grade. Now I'm a weird lesbian art kid.
You would assume that they wear black all the time, but most of the time they don't. They are just emo.
Yep, me and my friends are this group. (#My Chemical Romance and Green Day forever.)
Definitely me. My friends and I are always talking about musicals, dancing, bursting into song - basically all the stereotypical theater kid stuff. Haha.
Yup, I'm one of them. I like hanging out with my classmates in theatre. They're good people and know how to make the rest of the class laugh.
They are in almost every production the school has to offer, even if they're not actually on stage.
Hardcore guys who love to offend, like a big, walking mob of Leafys.
The kids who everyone knows but not everyone always likes. They're usually good at everything, from sports to academics to their social life, etc. They're usually always nice and approachable. In the end, it's like they're popular, but they're not popular, if you know what I mean.
Everyone knows them.
EVERYONE.
Not common, but these guys are obsessed with everything horse-related. They always talk about horse shows, tack, new riding outfits, and the latest achievements in horse riding. They get easily annoyed when someone says horse riding is easy.
There's only one girl like this in the whole school.
Yep, love these guys.
Everyone says that being a nerd is a bad thing, but really, it just means you're smart and will do well in life. I get called this sometimes and treat it as a compliment.
I actually looked like a nerd in middle school. I had both braces and glasses.
It's always the guy or girl who gets with someone, and like 1 or 2 weeks later, they break up. The next day, they're with someone new.
The group of guys that every girl falls in love with. They usually are heartbreakers.
Half of my old school was part of the charmers.
In short, these are the people who get in trouble for the sake of it. Take Barry Watson (name changed to protect the innocent cousin in the mentioned mixed squad), who broke a rule so that punishment was inflicted upon the whole class. The teacher said, "Thank Barry for this," and he replied, "You're welcome," every single time. It's just plain idiocy.
They are the ones that get like 2 detentions every week.
Always in detention and always in trouble.
Well, you ARE in middle school and really shouldn't know exactly what you want to do in life!
They try to do everything.
I feel that, but yeah.
A group of people who always make everybody laugh.
I see nobody has commented on this... Why? I am a teacher's pet, but I'm not actually like a pet, if you know what I mean. I'm always the first to raise my hand (like Hermione Granger too). I answer the questions in depth, talk about subjects we haven't learned in school yet, and do extra work on every assignment. I'm usually the only one in the class who gets a question right.
But I also talk back to the teachers, say their class is too easy, and then go on to answer every question they ask correctly and in depth (they get so mad, yet at my school, you aren't allowed to skip a grade). I write long essays about the pointlessness of their assignments (just to frustrate the teachers), draw up petitions against them, lead the whole class to take a stand against a teacher (we all requested to fire him and argued with the principal), and correct teachers (because why not?).
People say I look depressed, but really I'm not. Sometimes I am just so focused that my expression looks really intense.
There are the fake depressed ones, and then there are the ones with real depression.
If you look at me too long, you'll see it.
