Why are there inequalities among children?Well, everyone is an individual and each social group contains inequality within it. Inequalities among children occur for several reasons:
1. Income. It's not a rule for everyone, but people tend to get on better with people with the same income. It is even more noticeable among children: they sometimes judge each other by clothes, mobile phones etc. Moreover, children with higher income have wider access to leisure activities such as cinemas, cafes etc and therefore tend to spend time together.
2. Health.Disabled people or people with different health problems (e.g. obesity) are often excluded from different societies/groups.
3. AppearanceChildren are often criticised for their appearance by other children and may be even discriminated by teachers.
4. Educational skillsThat is also not a 'rule' for everyone, but some children may dislike pupils which get better marks than they do.
5. SubculturesChildren often form a group with people of the same subculture such as emo, goths, skinheads etc. Therefore, children which are not a part of this subculture have difficulties in communicating with such groups, which can even be aggressive to other subcultures.
6.New kidA kid which is new to the class/town may suffer from lack of communication: people that have already divided themselves in several groups by interests may not want to invite any 'strangers' into group.
