How to identify a clique

1.Cliques are groups of people who share the same interests and like to exclude anyone who they feel doesn’t fit in with their group.

2.Most cliques are led by a few of the more popular kids who make decisions about which kids gain entry to the clique.

3.Whether you are part of a clique or not keep in mind that excluding people from social groups often leaves them feeling sad and alone.

4.At times cliques go beyond excluding others and begin bullying middle school kids who are not a part of their group.

Tips how to aviod cliques

1. Keep your circle of friends open to anyone who might have an interest in meeting you or talking about something you enjoy.

2.Look and listen for people who share a common interest with you.

3.Confront friends the first time there is any discussion about excluding or bullying.

4.Talk with your friends about meeting new people.

Boming in Birmingham

september,15,1963

Today the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham was used as a meeting-place for civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King, Ralph David Abernathy and Fred Shutterworth. Tensions became high when the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) became involved in a campaign to register African American to vote in Birmingham. a white man was seen getting out of a white and turquoise Chevrolet car and placing a box under the steps of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church. Soon afterwards, at 10.22 a.m., the bomb exploded killing Denise McNair (11), Addie Mae Collins (14), Carole Robertson (14) and Cynthia Wesley (14). The four girls had been attending Sunday school classes at the church. Twenty-three other people were also hurt by the blast.In November, 1977 Chambliss was tried once again for the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing. Now aged 73, Chambliss was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. Chambliss died in an Alabama prison on 29th October, 1985.
