As a student, you may be aware of the inns and the outskirts of the school campus. With the start of a new year, one may find that a close friendship exists among a particular group of students, while some find themselves isolated. Have you wondered why this happens? This occurs when some students have the ability to attract the attention of others in a short time.

There are several factors that influence a student’s acceptability in a class or in a group. The most common factor is that of urban sophistication. This is applicable to both girls and boys. Factors that influence one’s acceptance are style of speaking, dressing, interest in music and movies, physical maturity, popularity with the opposite sex, and skill in games, among others.

Sometimes it is the dominance of the subgroups that tends to establish these criteria. Some students are easily accepted as they are not in a position to pose a threat to others. Most new students are easily accepted due to this criteria.

Acceptance automatically makes the student feel safe. But this also poses a danger of complacency. This is because if a student is good at one activity, he will never learn other activities. The relationship with the opposite sex is also a criterion among adolescents. Most adolescents involved in the relationship seem to add a feeling of self-esteem. The group mentality also plays a vital role.

Slow learners and slow developers are at a relative disadvantage. Most students who lack acceptance feel a sense of rejection. This leads to the formation of different groups in the class and leaves the child in a state where he is mentally broken and lacks confidence.

Teachers, parents can play an important role in such scenarios. The teacher can call the group and start a discussion with them. This will help isolated children to open their minds and express their feelings. Parents need to develop a friendly relationship with their children. This makes them feel safe and worthy.
