Line 28:

Cliques can be [[fun]] and enjoyable, as members are regularly involved in [[social]] and recreation activities such as going out together. Clique members can also forge closer [[friendship]]s, as they get to socialise more often.

Some doctors think that cliques can help with the sense of belonging and the social skills of a child as they grow older.

On the flipside, cliques may influence members, through [[peer pressure]], to start behavior perceived as bad by others, such as [[smoking]], or [[drug abuse]], or [[premarital sex]]. Problems involving cliques may also be a source of distraction from [[studies]], and this is especially true for outcasts who may feel dejected and tormented.
