Why? I would have thought the "jocks" would have been a fairly common teenage clique.

Ah yeah but arent jocks usually just sporty guys? Would have thought the country equivalent would be GAA in general, not just hurling.

Nah, it's usually either a football or a hurling town. Even if they've both there'll be bigger support for another, makes sense to culchies

Some counties like Mayo or Kerry are mostly football. Others like Kilkenny or Tipperary are all hurling. Some like Galway play a lot of both but its usually different areas of the county that play them.

I'm too socially inept to try to fit in. Chances are I'd do it wrong. :pac:

There are a few towns in Tipperary where football is the more popular sport. And I'd say rugby could end up becoming the more popular sport in a couple of places in Clare and Tipp.

When I finished school I was looking forward to getting away from all the b*tchy types and all the cliques mentioned in the first post and then I found that it's the exact same story not only in college but in work, in every job I've had it's the same score with different groups and people trying to fit in- forty year olds and all trying to be cool and fit in and stuff so basically f*"! everyone and just do what you want, people are going to talk about you anyway no matter what you do yknow!

I dont fit in with any group?? Weird.
It seems that im friends with people from alot of those groups.
So am i an all-rounder?

theres probably 10 hurling groups in my year alone (we have a large school all into clare hurling). Too bad its feckin clare hurling.
See a 5th year going around in a limerick GAA jacket so at least 1 persons on my side!!!

I had a few close friends in school and we still hang around together 8 years after it finished, there's no point trying to be friends with people you dont fit in with or have a laugh with, it wont work for long!

I'd have to say I'm in the Smart Kids group but we don't act any differently to anyone else except our humour has matured a bit more into and including political jokes... No one has to try to fit in the group... We're mostly all intelligent naturally without having to put in the work...

Other than our IQ we are normal teenagers... Dress normally (we don't go around with our shirts tucked into our pants and with our ties strangling us as seen on tv!!!) and act normally!!! We're all interested and play sports and we all spend most of our time chasing girls so nothing abnormal there!!!:P Only thing that is different is that we don't struggle in our tests!!!

Average IQ:100(of an adult)
My IQ:135 (with still 7 years of growth left, brain stops maturing at 21)
My Friend's:125 (also with 7 years growth left)

also note the inversely proportional relationship between arrogant intelligence and social skills, as show-cased so excellently by our friend jackobyte here.
Judging from your posts so far you're a prodigy
you'd best start practicing playing chess against yourself now, you're going to need it for your lonely old age

Anyone else think this reads like a Junior Cert English essay?

I think I've heard this rant so many times before, that those who spew it out are becoming their own little clique.

It might read like an English essay but your mam reads like an Ann summers novel, one with all the nice , hairy, over 50 pics left in.

Believe it or not, being a moderator isn't a job... They have real lifes too, you know. I'm sure one will take care of this eventually...
