You think so? It might be a tad dramatic but teens interface with the world through their phones and this purposeless "otherization" can not be having a good effect on society.
A trad dramatic? Ha, it's incredibly dramatic. If it isn't green bubbles, it will be the wrong hair color, the wrong video game tastes, liking the wrong instructor, a million other stupid things. The correct solution is to exacerbate differences within students to the point that cliques are difficult to create due to less in common, and absolutely not attempt to create increased conformity.
Increasing conformity only further increases the obviousness of people's differences, no matter how slight. An extreme example would be Japan, which was so homogenous that discrimination by Blood Type is a thing.
