This clip embodies the idea of adolescence because kids at this age are friends with people who have similar interests as them and they have larger groups of friends. The actual interaction between the two groups highlights not only the cruelty that children can use against one another, but the idea of power and popularity at this stage of development due to insecurities.

I feel as if this video shows the sort of heirarchy that exists within adolescent sub-culture. You have you freaks, geeks, and burnouts etc. Sometimes conflicts arise between these groups. ]]> 2017-01-20 00:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mlgibson1/4037adliteracy2017spring/wish/148257706 https://padlet.com/mlgibson1/4037adliteracy2017spring/wish/148258112 I think this clip touches on the awkwardness that many feel as teenagers and more specifically related to how we start to feel about those of the oppposite sex]]> 2017-01-20 00:07:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mlgibson1/4037adliteracy2017spring/wish/148258112
