The Social Project
ARE YOU WILLING TO MAKE FRIENDS?
Located in the heart of Baltimore, Maryland, Ashwood High School is an ordinary public school filled with cliques, drama, and unbreakable friendships.
While cliques in high school are not an unusual thing, the ones at Ashwood High have become a serious problem. To solve this major dilemma, Junior class advisor Miss Moore has decided to set up a social project.
Ashwood High School is located in the heart of Baltimore, Maryland. It often comes off as an ordinary high school with average students, and to be honest that’s almost exactly what it is. Like most normal high schools, at Ashwood there are cliques, social pyramids, and extremely tight friendship groups. Extremely tight. You’ve got your popular kids, your losers, and everything in-between. While close friendships and groups are definitely a good thing, they can also become something bad over time. Although cliques have always been a problem at Ashwood, the past few years they’ve been even worse than usual. Sure, there’s the typical thing where people stick mostly to their clique of friends, but now it’s gotten to the point where people in separate groups aren’t talking at all. Kids are getting excluded, and even putting different people together as lab partners can cause some serious tension in the classroom.
Needless to say, it’s a problem that Head of Junior Year, Miss Moore, would like to stop. She feels that when the students graduate high school and find themselves out in the real world, most of them won’t be able to rely on their cliques to look after them, meaning they’re going to need to make new friends. That’s why she thinks it’s a good idea to do this social project; to broaden students’ horizons and let them make friends with people they’d never expect to be friends with. She wants to show that there’s more to high school - and to life - than silly little cliques. She hopes that maybe, just maybe, she’ll be able to unite the entire Junior class instead of continuing to watch them all stick to what and who they know.
In efforts to solve the issue regarding all of the cliques, Miss Moore has decided to set up a social project. She has instructed all of the students of the Junior class to write down their top four friends, their significant others, and a few of their interests. After looking through the forms, she has paired up each student with a partner of the opposite that’s from a different group of friends but shares a few common interests; someone they wouldn’t usually hang out with but one who they could still potentially get along with if given the chance.
Now, with the pairs set and the project starting, Miss Moore has asked the students not only to go to classes and sit together, but to also complete a task together every week. In addition, she has asked students to record their results. But what exactly will those results turn out to be? Will new friendships form? Will relationships end? Will surprising new romances appear? No one knows for sure, but it’s surely going to be interesting to watch the project unfold.
