Natural Selection or Preordained?

[Grey_Wolf]

School are often rife with fractions - the computor club - the chess club - the jocks - and their inevitable gf's - the cheerleeders - the goth girls - the punks and so on.

This kind of group creations Ive often wondered about.

Is it natural selection - that is do these people live their group lives according to the age-old edict of "Survival of the Fitest" - meaning that geeks are geeks and jocks are jocks and never the two shall mingle.

Or is it - in some way - preordained. A person that likes books, chess and computors - are they really supposed to be marked for life with the epithet Geeks?

And the same goes for those who are very sports-oriented - are they forever also branded Jocks? Not to mention the usual image of cheerleaders - superficial airhead - is this also a given?

Glad to know your views on the matter.
