Yes, but not in the way they appear on TV or in movies. When you hear the word “clique” you might imagine groups of kids all dressed the same and eyeing rival cliques from the other side of the cafeteria. While people (especially high school students) do tend to naturally seek out people who are similar to them, cliques are not rigid clubs with defined membership rules or natural rivals.[1] A “clique” is really just a group of friends who have something in common.
