Popularity in School - Page 3

!Akura13 · Jan 31, 2008, 09:20 PM

nya, I'm in high school now and there are a bunch of people who think that they're popular but no one ever cares about them In my school, we're just determined who we'll hang out with the rest of the school year at the beggining of it. After that, people don't except you into there group...but, popularity isn't important. You shouldn't waste 3 or 4 years of your life trying to get people to notice you. You should just be yourself, and people will be your friends. As for me, all people put me into the "preppy" and "goth" groups, so I hang out with a number of people. Just, don't try and be something you aren't. Just be yourself!

Guys I asked this question because I was going to a new school and knew no one there first of all Alesithir or whatever the hell your name is don't try to act hard becuase you're one of those strong enough to make it being original. I was original at my old school but the thing is I was miserable so for people to call me fake is a mistake. It was a thought that I wrote down and posted as a thread so I could get your opinions. Not to be insulted I mean it isn't a crime at times to question your beliefs.

I was going to boarding school so I just wanted to be safe and by the way Alesithir I stayed original so go f**k yourself b*tch.

You don't, it hard to get a label removed about you. The only way i see to get rid of it is to get ppl to create a new label for you.

I have many friends in my school, but i never kissed any ass to get them.
I think it was about 6th grade, that kids just starting trying to be my friend =\ I never asked for them, and most of them aren't even really TRUE friends, so i don't give my trust to any more than a few.

Those two groups are like Bloods and Crips, LOL. How one falls in to both categories is beyond me.

Wasting up to four years trying to be noticed is the same as waiting a lifetime to win the lottery. It's a waste of time. No matter how you chop it, slice it, bake it or fry it. Popularity is nothing more than a waste of energy, time and self-esteem. One shouldn't worry about other's opinions of him/her, nor should he/she try to be defined as a person by the type of company he/she keeps.

Be yourself... Live happy and free.

Popularity in school doesn't matter to me. I know tons of people at my school. There is many people at my school if you just say my name they would know me. I am not popular I am known for being clumsy ^^ and because of my older brother. I don't kiss up to any of the popular people. I have alot of friends who are popular I just talk I don't force myself to be anything other than me. I don't see why everyone wants to be popular? Once your out of high school it doesn't matter. It doesn't even matter if you go to your high school reunion.

Or stay completely original and don't care what they call you but you don't get invited to parties and you probably won't have any friends.

Before you answer this question think about it:I know most people would say stay original but come on your life at school becomes miserable and you probably won't have any freinds and that's quite harsh, I mean it's ok to be shallow sometimes so you can be happy.

Amazingly i must be so lucky because i be myself at school and i seem to make friends easy i have only ever been bullied once but that happens to everyone and it was nothing seriouse! Does no one else be their self and make friends, i mena it's not against the law?

He he popularity... oooooookay....
The thing is I give a crap about popularity.... why? 'cos being popular does not take you anywhere else after high school... you could've been the most popular girl and had be the friendof "everyone" or the most popular guy and had "fun" with everyone... but how many of the "friends" you get during your "golden times" are there after HS?? aaand people changes when they get to college or at least out of HS...
personally in HS I wasn't either the popular or the not recognized girl. I was (and still am) myself.... and the friends I got from there most of them I still have contact with and we still the same friendship we had back then.
Plus... I've always hated people that like to humiliate others just 'cos they are not alike... and let's be real... most pop. ppl do that.........

The really funny thing about this thread is that most of you say you don't really care about popularity while the reality is a whole lot different. Especially in the USA where peer pressure is said to be gigantic.

Kinda like that thread that asked if the reader was afraid to die or not.
