Social experiment that should be tried at Breck!!!! Cleverly titled, "The Island", in this experiment people from various groups who don't know each other very well would be put in a group. This group would only be allowed to talk to other people in the group and teachers. And then we see what happens.
Issues this would address:
Friendship- does it mean sharing interests with someone, relying on them, or something else entirely, like a comforting habit?
School groups (psh, cliques)- Most people have at least one thing in common. Can we go from there and use forced social interaction to create new groups? How did the old groups get there in the first place?
As you get to know someone better and understand their reasoning behind their actions, etc., do you like them more or dislike them more?
...It sounds cooler in my head, I guess. Once I think about it a bit more it'll translate better.

ooooooooooooooooooo... but then I'd be a loner... for how long?
(typical narcissistic teen reaction, I know...)
A week. You wouldn't be a loner, though. You'd be relying on a different group for companionship.
