Is it easy to have plenty of friends without being in a group?
I think that it could be easy to have plenty of friends without being in a group because you could be an individual with a bunch of different friends from many different groups.
I agree with whAT GEORGIA SAID. I don’t see many groups that have boys and gils in them. Usually there are girls that hang out and boys that hang out. But like Georgia said I do see a lot of people that are really friends with everyone.
I totally agree with Acadia. For example when we were filling out the index card today about reasons your friends with them and some kids raised their hand saying that they are friends with every body.
I think that it really depends on the person. Some kids might feel more confident in a group of people, while others feel perfectly fine with flying solo. I think that it’s good to do both at different times depending on the situation.
I agree with Rachel, some kids have different feelings and opinions on who they want to hang out with, some others are fine with being by them selves. It does depend on the situation and it depends on yourself.
Adding on to Annabelle, some kids who hang out by themselves also might hang out with people, not just themselves.
I think its how the person feel about feeling included in a group or if they feel better by them self.
I agree with Rachel. It depends on the person because some people feel like they need a group to have friends, but other people have many groups or they are just friends with everyone.
I agree with Gwen but I think that sometimes the people who are not in a group seem/act like they like it that way but secretly, deep, deep down they feel lonely.
I think it can be hard if your shy are not very good at making friends. Because some people feel only comfortable inside their group, and only get to be popular within that group. If that group is the only group that is alike to you, then I don’t think it could be that easy. It could be easy if you were a social butterfly and weren’t shy at all, but not everyone’s like that.
I think that it can defiantly be hard to make new friends. Like Alexa said if you are shy or not good at making friends. I think that at least one person should have a friend unless that like to be by themselves.
I agree with almost everyone. I think that you don’t have to be in a group. Some people don’t belong in a group, just have friends and some happen to be in a group. It’s not like the movies too. It can be hard to make new friends too. Like Cate and Alexa said, you could be shy, or just not want new friends, but it is important to have at least one.
I agree with Georgia because in our school I think that there are lots of kids that don’t have a specific group.
I also agree with caleb and georgia
Here’s a question though. Could people have friends from different ‘groups’ and be accepted by all of them? I think that is most likely the case at our school all the time. I honestly don’t care if I’m hanging out or just talking to a boy or a girl. I guess it’s different and the same in a way. Get it?????
🙂
I agree with Nina, People sometimes just stick around one group. Some all. And some none. For me I like to not be in a group.
Yeah I agree. I think its better to have 5 people your friendly with of all different clubs that having 3 from 1
Is it possible to have no friends but be in several groups? I think it is because you can be in groups that don’t talk very often out of their groups. Say your a mathlete and you only talk to your team when you go to math games. So you would not be friends with the people in that group. There are several groups I can think of like that.
everyone should be friends and not have to be in a specific group.
I agree because you could be just in the middle of nowhere in terms of groups and most probably there are other people like that, so you could make friends with other people who are group-less and you could also hang out with people in any group, almost like you are a nomad and you are visiting one friend for a month.
I disagree with you Georgia, because there are some people who are not part of a group and are not at the bottom, but I think that most people who are on the bottom are not excepted into most groups because they are not “cool.”
I agree with Georgia, you may not have a specific group you hang out and you only make friends in that group, but you may not hang out in a group at all and still have a wide verity on friends. In conclusion: Have friends with who you like and who you feel comfortable with, not someone who is the most popular.
I agree with Cate you should have friends just in case somebody bullies you. Or you get hurt somebody can call help. You should always have a friend to lean on. Nobody can look into the future. So you should always be prepared. If you be yourself people will notice you. Stand out in the crowd. Speak up!
Why do you have to have a friend right now? You can find a friend wherever you are!
I totally agree, I have friends in Italy who i can’t even communicate to!
I agree, also adding on, I guess you should always have friends. If you are the kind of person who doesn’t like/want to have friends, they wouldn’t have any allies if someone is being mean to you or something like that.
🙂
Is that a song or a poem? I agree with Emma because, if you are feeling sad or just are having life problems, a friend good to have.
Some kids bully because they think it’s funny and people will like them for bullying others. If you are bullied people bully you because they want power and they think you’re a quick ticket to get power.
I agree. A better way to get control of more power is to be nice to lots of people. then people will look up to you as a role module. If you bully people, other people will just go along with it it because they want to be cool.
Adding on to William, if you see a kid being bullied instead of going along with the bully maybe you should help the kid who is being bullied and stand up for them. Then people with think of you as a role model.
Is it easy to have plenty of friends without being in a group?
I think friends/tween interactions are complex. I believe you can have lots of friends without being in a group. It is really about being open to everyone and not giving in to peer pressured.
I agree. Many people have friends without being in groups all the time. That can be good and can be bad. It would be bad if that person wanted to invite someone from each group and all of the other group members said that that person who was invited, couldn’t go if they were still going to be apart of a group. It’s good in the sense that you aren’t as connected or apart of what all the other people in that group say /do. You also can be friends with a lot more people and your friend doesn’t necessarily have to worry about joining into any group.
🙂
I agree also, I think these interactions can be so complex because others will act differently around you if you are outside the group or just not liked.
U think if a friend is like you that’s a good friend to have. But maybe some people don’t like that.
I agree with Luke you don’t have to share something in common to still be friends.
I agree and disagree with Luke. You can have some friends who are like the same things as you, but it’s also good to have some friends who are different then you, so you can relate with things and help explain with others.
I also agree most groups are all boy or all girls the only one that is not is the people that are not in one.
I think you can have a lot of friends without being in a group. You can two or three friends from different groups, or you could have friends outside of school.
Is it easy to have plenty of friends without being in a group? I think it is very easy because most people aren’t even in a group but they have lots of friends. They can have friends from different places and become friend with a couple people in different groups.
I don’t think there are many groups. I just think some people like to hang out with other people in a “clump.”
Like, some different people at a time.
Yeah, I bet it’s disappointing to not be included in a group even if your not friends with them or their a different sex.
Why do some kids pick or bully others?
I think kids pick or bully other kids because the bully is upset and wants that kid to feel their pain which isn’t right. Or, the bully feels insecure and wants to be “cool” by bullying, spreading rumors, and/or embarrassing the kid.
I think that kids become bullies because maybe the bully has an older brother or sister who bullies them. The thing I don’t understand is why they would want to do that they probably don’t like how it feels. So why?
I think people bully each other because they’re letting all of their anger out and it makes them feel better. Have you ever felt angry and wanted to say something mean to someone else and forget that what you’re doing might be hurtful? That’s how bullying starts. I think bullies are secretly unhappy.
