    well it is for my school...all the popular kids
    are rich...which makes them a snob...but
    wut i really hate is how people think that
    once u have money...u have everything..
    looks....the smarts...the taste...ill be the
    first to disagree...all the wites think they know
    everything l...ther used to be
    two chinese that speaks fluently in chiense
    and english...which is me nd my frd...but since she
    moved...im the only one...in my whole entire
    HS...so i started to hang wif da FOBBIE azns..
    so the wites are asking me...y da hell are u
    hanging wif dem...so i found out that thers
    a fine line between popular and un-popular
    and azns dat has ESL arnt popular...wut kinda
    rule is dat? i think ther da ones that are rich...
    cuz ther the ones da has parents wif money...

    wow thats weird.. that's totally not the case at my school. like sure, we have a popular group where everyones rich and beautiful, but they're okay... some DO think they're all that, but many of us just ignore it. and what?? everyone in your school is either white or fobby? that is weiiird. =\

    I think popularity is important to a certain extent. It's not so much about attention, but I think it's good to know a lot of people because a large part of school/work is based on connections and networking.

    However, I don't consider being popular all that. I mean, if you feel comfortable hanging around a particular group of people, their popularity shouldn't matter much, right? Just be yourself [​IMG]

    As for the popular kids who like to make fun of others, I think it's best to just ignore them. There's people like that almost everywhere... it not really something that can be avoided.

    Everyone think that if they have to look like rich people and dress like them..
    But i think that it depend on people...
    Popularity is sometimes important but too much popularity is really annoying..

    Peachey is right about ' Just be yourself'.

    Lots of people think status is important to
    ones self...for me...im alwayz being myself..
    if u dunt like who u see...den wutever...im
    not gonna change...but the problem wif
    popularity is that u tend to change or to
    adjust urself to fit in wif the popular people..
    dats wut my frd did b4 she moved...it was
    very sucsessful...but i duno if she was all
    that happy...

    nah, being popular at school means nothing. you got to remember that ppl there probably arent you real friends but just trying to use you to get into another circle.

    besides if ppl need to feel popular, then they're just plain insecure which is not a good way to set yourself up for life! also, ppl who like being popular can't bear to lose that popularity so they tend to do needy things

    just be comfortable for being youself and then ppl who like you for you will always come to you.. if noone likes you, then you got another problem! haha
     
  20. being popular isnt important.. but it's certainly fun to just know a lot of pple and have them know you... like know every race or group at your school.. cuz we are talkin about school in this situation right? and you can jus go up to them and talk...
