Mixing It Up

On Friday my school did something actually pretty cool, we had a day called Mix It Up Day. This day was suppose to divide up the cliques and have everyone mingle with people they usually wouldn't. In lunch the head students went around to different lunch tables are talked to people they usually wouldn't. All of the students that were in charge of this wore tie dyed shirts and the back of them was something written on it that you wouldn't know by looking at the person. I saw one persons shirt that said, "I've never had a boyfriend" written on the back, and you would never guess that by looking at her. I think this was a really good attempt at showing people how making new friends is so important and can be fun at the same time. Then on Friday our whole school was supposed to wear a red shirt and jeans to eliminate all the cliques set up by the different clothes students wear. In an attempt to show how important it is to "Mix it Up" I think that the first Friday of every month we should all continue to do that. Cliques are prevelent almost everywhere and when you get older there present too but there's many ways you can help to make people more open to others.
