After you read "The Outcasts of Poker Flat," blog about a time when you were cast out, or otherwise alienated from a group. Your blog can be real or fictional, but if it's real change the names of the people in your blog so we do not recognize them.

During my freshman year i was with a group have people i liked to hang out with. All freshman year we did some different stuff. By the time sophomore year showed up they acting like they never even new me. Even to this day i have no idea why that happened.

I was alienated at Bonny Eagle because when I moved to Hollis I didn’t really have any friends and no one would talk to me or make an effort for the first few of days. After about a week People started talking to me and I eventually made friends.

I was alienated from a group once in elementary school when a bunch of kids were going to play kickball and I when I was the last one to be picked they said that the teams were full so I had to sit and watch as everyone else had fun.

Throughout my first two years of High School, I was alienated. I maybe had 1-2 friends. But I honestly never really spent time with them. I would sit alone and ignore everyone who would talk to me.

I was cast out when I moved here last year. I felt really alienated here because I was dating a girl, and I was public about it. People didn't like it for awhile, and they made sure I knew they didn't like it. I was alienated by a lot of student's during the whole relatsionship. This year has changed everything though, people are over it, and more excepting of me and I'm a lot happier and more comfortable at this school.

I was alienated a couple times in middle school but that's when I realized I preferred my own company rather than theirs. -Micah

I was secluded in my middle school years because I wasn't very talkative in 5th grade but I preferred my own company anyways and usually always had something of my own going on.

in canal, everyone loved to play 4-square. i was one of the better players. so they didn't let me play anymore because i would always get people out. they thought it was unfair that i keep playing while everyone else doesn't get a chance.

I was never cast out of a group, not even before I started high school. I never really liked any one in my middle school, I was mostly quiet around people or with my friends who I still am able to hang out with even though we go to different schools. So if you want you could say that I have been cast out of groups, but it was I who did it to myself.

Well to be honest I feel like in a way im more "Alienated" than most. Not that I think my situation is worse or that nobody has gone through it. Everybody has their own problems. Anyway I feel left out because nobody understands me and the life I have chosen for myself after high school. I want to go into the military and everyone at school thinks its a joke, I don't know if its because of too much call of duty or if they don't understand how real it is to go to war. This is where im even more separated than most where I have a couple of friends that want to go to the military as well but most of them are going marines thinking that its going to be like "Rambo" where they can kill everything. I want to go into the Air Force Pararescue to save lives but then again marines is a very good choice of where im going to.

Back in middle school, I would be alienated a lot because of my weight and how different I was from everyone else. But once high school came along, people started to grow up, I lost weight, and started gaining more respect from others.
