Blog #2 Gender and Sociolinguistic Variation

There were many different social groups during my highschool years. I think one of the biggest reasons why myself and my fellow classmates created/join these social groups were to have a sense of belonging and security. What I mean by security is, you always knew what you got if you hung around people who talk, look, and sound like you. These "friends" who were in the same social group enjoyed and shared the same activities as you making things less awkward. In highschool I think everyone's biggest worry was to just fit in and having and being in these social groups that made you talk and look a certain way made you fit in.
