==Origin==
[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=English#ca._1100-1500_.09THE_MIDDLE_ENGLISH_PERIOD Middle English], from [[Latin]] rejectus, past participle of reicere, from re- + jacere to throw
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15th_century 15th Century]
==Definitions==
*1a : to refuse to [[accept]], [[consider]], submit to, take for some [[purpose]], or use <rejected the suggestion> <reject a [[manuscript]]>
:b : to refuse to hear, receive, or admit : rebuff, repel <[[parents]] who reject their [[children]]>
:c : to refuse as lover or [[Husband|spouse]]
*2obsolete : to cast off
*3: throw back, repulse

*5: to subject to immunological rejection
==Description==
[[Social]] '''rejection''' occurs when an [[individual]] is deliberately excluded from a inter[[personal]] [[relationship]] or social relation. The [[topic]] includes both interpersonal rejection (or [[peer]] rejection) and [[romantic]] rejection. A [[person]] can be rejected on an [[individual]] basis or by an entire [[group]] of people. Furthermore, rejection can be either [[active]], by bullying, teasing, or ridiculing, or [[passive]], by ignoring a person, or giving the "[[silent]] treatment." The [[experience]] of being rejected is [[subjective]] for the recipient, and it can be [[perceived]] when it is not actually present.
Although [[humans]] are [[social]] [[beings]], some level of rejection is an inevitable part of life. Nevertheless, rejection can become a [[problem]] when it is prolonged or [[consistent]], when the [[relationship]] is important, or when the [[individual]] is highly [[sensitive]] to rejection. Rejection by an entire [[group]] of people can have especially [[negative]] [[effects]], particularly when it results in [[social]] [[isolation]].
The [[experience]] of rejection can lead to a [[number]] of adverse [[psychological]] consequences such as loneliness, low [[self-esteem]], aggression, and [[depression]]. It can also lead to feelings of insecurity and a heightened [[sensitivity]] to [[future]] rejection.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_rejection]
