Well, I live in Finland and here we don't really have many privet schools, so most (REALLY most, I don't even know any privet schools or people who had been in one) kids go to same public schools no matter how much money their parents have. Now I can say that my family is part of the middle class but I never even thought of that as a kid nor did I think what class the other kids belonged to.

 

But I read an article for my studies which said that kids would rather want to be friends with people who have the same social status. There had been some kind of study made in the USA with that as a result. And I wondered that can it be true because like I said I never even knew my or anyone elses status as a kid. But is that different in USA or some other coutries? Did you know your family's or other kids' social status or think about those when you made friends with people?

It's easy to tell the social status of kids where I live. Rich kids take advanced classes, wear nicer clothes, etc., and the lower class kids are in on level or below classes and just by how the way they talk you can tell. So when it comes to making friends I don't care about your social status, as long as you're genuine and kind I will befriend you. However since for the past 11 years I've been in classes with intelligent people who also happen to be wealthy, you could say my friends only consist of the same social status as me

i dont take advanced classes but most of my friends do. I had the option though since my grades were so good, i just didnt feel like it. i regret my decision
