connections

I am going to connect high school to the rule of mao zedong. They connect by a few things:

-lust of power
-the want of attention
-the demand of rule
-wanting to be the one who decides what will happen to other people
- the power to pick what girls you want

These are all reasons of connections that I know of from high school to mao zedong.

At sullivan heights groups get chosen by people titled "popular" all the way down to the people titled the "nerds" which is entirely in there perspective. Personally I think that to be very cruel to everyone who is less than popular because they may have low self esteem or anything of the sort, no one knows what other people go through so why put titles for people, why not be equals. Something that increases and or decreases the tension between groups can very from a wide range of options. It can go from bullying all the way to being friends (scale of intensity of increases to decreases), due to this it will add or deplete tension which can make sullivan a better atmosphere to be in. There can possibly be outside influences but i do not know of any.
Different groups value different things, for instance what i can tell is the more "popular" care about there popularity more than anything also there egos. The group i am in cares about having friends to talk to, not so much of the way they act because the kind of group im in is a little less than average. A reason i have heard for groups to hate on other groups is these people are the ones who sleep around with everyone, to stay away. I honestly think that it would be non of there business if they do or not, its not your live so why care? My guess of there reasons are most likely around 12% because a lot of the times there may be one person who has a problem yet the others do not but follow like lost dogs in a pack.
Close to 88% is based on propaganda, rumors and some half-truths. The reasoning behind that is the fact that not a lot of things are truth and a lot of the time it is what one person has a problem and others follow. These messages spread through sullivan due to a few things, one being the internet via facebook, twitter, etc... second being in person. What stops others from learning things on there own is the sheer urge of acceptance, stature, popularity, or to lazy to learn themselves.
