Teenage clique game.

I am currently getting into a game where I have filled Newcrest with 12 families, each with two teenagers. Each of these kids belongs to one of 6 cliques, based on the traits of the teen. As well, each section represents a different economic class (the section at the north by all the shops is the poor and working class families living in starter homes, the middle section is for middle and upper middle class families, while the southern part by the river is for the four wealthy families. I use the group mechanics to create the cliques, giving each one certain trait requirements.
The six social groups.
1. The Elite- These are the most popular kids, the jocks, and others who are at the top of the school's social heirarchy. They focus on sports, swimming, and socializing with each other.
2. The Good Kids-These are the overachievers, the class president types, the do-gooders, and people who are focused on excelling in life. They are interested in getting their homework done, being kind to children and older adults, and other positive activities.
3. The Nerds-These are the geeky kids. They focus on playing video games (also after their homework is done), reading, and other fun activities.
4. The Losers-These tend to be the least popular kids. They also focus on playing video games, watching tv, playing with toys, etc. They are much less motivated than the Nerds.
5. The Artsy Kids- These are the kids who are interested in creative activities (except for reading and writing, since those kids are in the nerd clique). They spend their time painting, looking at art, listening to music, and sipping lattes at coffee shops.
6. The Troubled Teens- These are kids that tend to be rejected by the adults, and the group is primarily defined by "bad" traits. They spend their time causing mischief, harassing elders, children, and The Good Kids, and listening to music.
Each of these cliques are represented in all of the economic classes, although each group will have an extra member in one of the economic groups (with the Elite and Good Kids trending wealthy, The Artsy and Troubled Teens being poor, and the others being middle class), and each group is expressed a little differently based on their economic class. For example, The Elite is led by a classic preppy girl (as in the country club type), with a popular jock being the other wealthy member, the middle class member is a modern preppy girl (think the bubbly head cheerleader type), while the poor member could be described as a popular rural person. On the other hands, the Troubled Teens tend to be "subcultural" at lower and middle economic levels, while the wealthiest member was meant to be a prep school rebel trope.
And to add teen drama into the mix, each of the cliques has an opposing one, where they will either be actively hostile to on another, or discouraged from interacting in a friendly manner with them at all.
I might post pictures of the families and drama if there is any interest.
