  3. I don't think that gangs and cliques are a big problem at Prairie.

  4. Gangs and cliques aren't a huge problem at PHS, but it is a growing issue

  5. I believe that cliques in our school is a serious problem. Even walking into the cafeteria you can see the difference between different cliques. Most people would assume that it is just the popular people picking on anybody else, but many of the outsiders or nerds or any body who is not "popular" are making fun of people too. I can see this being a major problem at our school if this doesn't stop.

  6. There are many cliques in the school but it doesn't effect learning in a school environment.

  8. drugs are really bad to use because they can get you into serious trouble. studies show that drug users grades have dropped because of the drugs. if you do drugs it will change your life you will lose your friends, i had a friend that i grew up with, he was a good kid but then started hanging out with the wrong group and one thing leads to another and he lives at a detention center. he ended up steeling from the only friends he had to buy drugs.

  9. Drugs and alcohol effect you in several ways. First way drugs and alcohol effect you is it can cause you to drop grades and lose your friends, when it becomes a main part of your life. Another reason that it affects you is you can get into serious trouble with your family life, and law enforcement. Last reason is it can put you into a bad situation, like driving while drunk and not making good decisions under the influence. These are some of several reasons why teenagers should not consume any alcohol or drugs.

  10. Drugs and alcohol are really bad because they can cause you to drop grades then drop out of school. Maybe even loose your friends. It will change your life and you could maybe die from drink alcohol and doing drugs. I feel here at Prairie Gangs aren't really a big thing at Prairie. There is probably bullying around Prairie but over the years I feel its got way better. But bullying could happen anytime any day anywhere. I hope that over the next few years it will get better.(:

  11. Drugs and alcohol can affect you in many ways. One way drugs and alcohol can affect your life is your family life, social life, and your performance at school. Another way is you could get into trouble with the law enforcement, your parents, and your friends. Finally, another way is if you take drugs or are consuming any alcohol it could result in permanently affecting your life or even death.

  12. Cliques in our school are not really a big deal. People are going to hang out with their friends and most students at prairie are not sitting alone at lunch. Yes our school has cliques and groups, but lots of groups of people are very open to new people. Within the first day I made friends and I was trying. I sit with a very positive group of people that I met through band for the most part. Its just being who you are and being open to the idea that other people have the same interests and differences that you can agree or disagree, but be okay with

  13. Gangs and cliques are not a big problem but they are an issue. Prairie needs to watch it so things do not grow and become a problem.

    ReplyDelete
  14. drugs are bad real bad

    ReplyDelete
  15. I don't feel that gangs and violence are a large problem here at Prairie. It could be a large problem but I don't feel this is.

    ReplyDelete
  16. School violence is a growing concern that needs to be thought about ways it can be prevented. It isn't much of a concern at Prairie High School but prevention still needs to be enforced.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Cliques aren't a big problem at Prairie. You can see the different social groups but it doesn't cause any huge problems.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I don't think there is much physical school violence here at Prairie. Most of the violence comes from bully's and other students that are harassing others. Many other students treat each other like they want to be treated making their no problems of violence. Also, a lot of the violence at school is because of events that happen at home or with friends. Usually students will spread the news of violence which detours the violence because of the fear of getting in trouble.

  19. Although I don't think that harassment and school violence is a very big problem at Prairie, we still need to be aware of what it is and we need to put a complete end to it because it is keeping us from having a substantial learning environment.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Gangs and Cliques aren't really a problem at Prairie. Even if they form in the future I don't think it would affect learning too much.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Drugs and alcohol have many bad effects on us. They can prevent us from being successful. It impacts how well we do in school and cause us to do things we dont want to. We can have problems and get into trouble. Drugs and alcohol can have bad effects that can impact the rest of our life.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I dont think there is some cliques at prairie but they dont effect peoples learning but could effect the social life of some people

    ReplyDelete
  23. I know there are cliques in prairie that are not bad. Maybe some of them treat other bad but most don't. We really don't have no problem with gangs in prairie. If there is a gang its not bad its more like a group.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I think that at Prairie High School people judge other people by what they wear or who they hang out with so I think we have many cliques at the school. I also think that we don't have true gangs at Prairie because if we did we could have a lot of problems. At Prairie there is a lot of harassment and school violence so thats why teachers and principals give out disciplane to keep our school safe.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I think that cliques are not a very big deal at this school. To me cliques are together because the people in them are similar and like to hang out with each other, the bad thing is when people are excluded and such.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Violence, Drugs and Alcohol are becoming a big deal at PHS. We have had a few kids that have died from these but people just keep doing it, they all think it cannot happen to them because they are careful when they are not. Many kids drink and drive, do stupid things while under the influence, and get in many fights if someone just looks at them the wrong way or says something to them.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think that by having gangs it get's people worried if they should even come to school. Here at Prairie there are gangs that shouldn't even be here, this is a bully free zone which mean violence should be brought here for the safety of other students. School violence has also been a major problem in our society and generation. Many people just fight to fight when really there's always a way to solve each problem.

  29. I don't think there is a lot of school violence at prairie but it causes students not to want to come to school and learn.Every student should want to come to school and not have to worry about being harassed or bullied for being different.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I don't think we have a clique problem at Prairie like they do in other schools. Each person belongs to their own groups, but there isn't really one group that hates another group of people. Students at Prairie typically get along with each other well. Sometimes there are a few problems with people but those are usually with people in the same group/clique.

    ReplyDelete
  31. At Prairie I don't think there is a problem with cliques. Many people have a group of friends or peers, usually formed by similar likes and hobbies or activities. Cliques aren't necessarily the same as they are portrayed in movies and media.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I think that cliques are a cause of bullying at prairie. A group of people may make fun of anyone that they see as different from them. However there is not much that can be done about cliques themselves because people will always want to hang out with others that have like interests.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Prairie doesn't have a problem with gangs. In my whole time at prairie, I've only heard of one gang, and that didn't last long.
    Cliques do exist, but boundaries are not a problem at all. For example, many clubs and groups exist, and you can see a bunch of people only socializing with each other. However, since many people are in many clubs, and some people have different groups of friends, the barriers that cliques sometimes make are mostly knocked down.

    ReplyDelete
  34. You can tell each individual "clique" from another. Most people think we don't have that big of a problem here at Prairie, but they are actually just looking at it from their angle. The "lower" groups see the problems we have and the "higher" groups just blind side everything. I agree with Malia that the cliques aren't portrayed here like they are in movies, but we still have an issue with people being excluded and outcast.

  35. The students who are being harassed are scared and they want the people to stop. Some of them have even stopped going to school. In my opinion you shouldn't be afraid for being different when you are only being yourself. The people who do harass students need to keep that in mind and stop.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Prairie has many cliques, but all schools do. It's normal to have many different cliques in a school. People tend to hang out with other kids with similar interests, and who like to hang out together. Usually these groups are characterized by sports groups, or any group that they are involved in.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I don't think that Prairie has any gang problems. As far as cliques go, I see it just as groups of friends hanging out who have similar interests or who are in the same sports or clubs.

    ReplyDelete
  38. There are many cliques in our school, but they do not affect learning. They may affect the environment but every school has cliques and other groups of people who the school can not control.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I do see some cliques at school but they don't cause any trouble. I have only heard of a gang in this school one time, other wise I don't think there are any gangs.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I don't think prairie has any gangs but we have plenty of cliques for good or worse. cliques aren't harmful to the naked eye though they can hurt someone mentaly

    ReplyDelete
  41. i always see different cliques every where i go basically, cause i just be out there enjoyin the world seeing gang, alcohol being used. it makes me sad seeing good people doing bad things like that.
    i pray for all people making the wrong decision.

  42. Gangs at school are bad. I think this because they are sometimes making the kids scared and harming their leaning environment .

    ReplyDelete
  43. gangs are a bad influence on kids in school.

    ReplyDelete
  44. and outside of school

    ReplyDelete
  45. School violence is unacceptable because it disrupts the learning enviroment. Students should feel safe in their own school.

    ReplyDelete
  46. we have many cliques in our school, but there are many people who fit into different groups. it's based on everyone's interests and own opinions.

    ReplyDelete
  47. We have many groups in our school but I dont see them as "cliques". Our groups are mainly people that share the same interests..

    ReplyDelete
  48. Harassment is a problem. People should feel safe at school.

    ReplyDelete
  49. there are cliques at Prairie. But i dont think it is a problem. the "cliques" are mostly just based on what our friends have in common and what we're interested in. there are a lot of different groups within our school.

    ReplyDelete
  50. School should be a safe environment and harassment should not be a problem.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I don't think we have a clique problem at Prairie.People who are involved in the same things and have similar interests tend to do things together creating a "group" of people but not a clique. Everyone talks with everyone and is accepting of differences so I would say that cliques are not a problem.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Gangs are a problem that is usually affiliated with the distribution of drugs and/or weapons. That is not good for kids trying to focus on school work and being pressured to try things they know are bad for them.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Students our age shouldn't be using drugs irresponsible only for medicinal uses.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I don't think students in Prairie High School should create "gangs" to get at people and harass other students for dumb reasons.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Cliques aren't much of a problem at Prairie, but they are definitely there even if they are not well defined, and exclusive. The cliques change often, but for the most part you can usually tell which group a person belongs in.

    ReplyDelete
  56. i dont think that cliques arent such a big deal here at the high school, but i thought at point that it was a bigger deal

    ReplyDelete
  57. In prairie high school we have almost all of the word. Some more than others.WE have cliques in our school and some people would do anything to be in a popular clique. I would say that sometimes the separation of cliques are sometimes a problem.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I don't find bullying as a big problem. I don't hear it or see it often, and when it does happen, it's always the same people. Maybe I am oblivious as an individual, but it's more likely that bullying is not a large issue at school.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I think that it is very clear that there are cliques in this school. There is not very much harassment here. Between all of the cliques, there is not very much harassment, if cliques dont get along, they mainly just ignore eachother and keep to themselves.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I really don't think we have a huge problem with school violence at Prairie because I have never heard or witnessed any problems. When there are fights, usually, they are petty and over after they happen. There are not long term conflicts and bullying usually is just exclusion from a group. This is because people think they're better then others or they're not comfortable with a new person.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Cliques are not that much of a problem in the high school but they are in some other school in different states.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Cliques are a group of people who share similar interests and are generally really good friends. Unfortunately, these cliques don't often associate with others outside their group. At Prairie, we have many cliques like the Band Kids, The Choir Kids, The Alternative Kids, The Popular kids etc. Just like the definition said, we don't often talk to or relate to the other cliques. We are generally fine with staying within our own group. Unfortunately this sometimes leads to exclusion of others.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I believe that cliques in our high school are very bad because they exclude people and a clique usually talks bad about others that are and aren't in that group.

  64. Drugs are bad because they can make your grades drop and get you into trouble.
