I don't believe in popularity. Someone can only be popular if others say they are. Why do we have to say they are? That's dumb. Popularity by definition means someone who is liked by others. There's mean people who are supposed to be popular but they're not liked. Everyone just knows who they are amd that person thinks they're a big shot. I think we should lose the word in school. It'll change the way things are for the better.

As for me, i don't choose my friends by popularity. If they're nice to me, i hang out with them. If they're mean and snotty, i put them in exhile until they learn to be nice. I know some people already think of me as popular, but i don't. I don't want to be known that way cuz girls who are get to be known as popular usually get a rep as a snotty princess. Boys who are known as popular usually think they rule the school. Not all of them are like that, but most get that rep. The boy i like is considered popular but he's pretty cool. He asks before he cuts in line and doesn't expect it. He'll say, "hey, can i cut you so i can be with my friend?" He's really nice. Mommy did his chart when he was here for my birthday party and she said he's a sweetheart. He's a Pisces with Moon in Libra. My best friend is considered popular but she's also cool. She's nice to people. She thought it was cool when i invited some people who aren't popular to my birthday party. There's one girl at school who no one was talking to and i befriended her cuz she looked lonely. Now she eats lunch with us. I think it's more important to be nice to everyone and popular by real definition and not school definition.

I was definitely a nerd in high school, but I still hung out with the cool kids.

I like having friends but think they'll like me or not no matter how i act. I'm gonna be me so if they like me then great. If they don't oh well. At least i don't have to pretend to be someone else. I think if i act like someone wants me to then i have to keep acting that way and it's too much trouble.

There are some people mad at me right now. I turned in a boy who was fighting in the hallway cuz he pushed me over some books while fighting. I didn't appreciate it. They can just get over their mad. I didn't like being knocked down by them and they shouldn't have been doing something that could hurt me and others. One guy was really nice and picked up my books and apologized. The other one was really mean and got on my nerves. He was rude and told me not to be a snitch or he'd beat me up too. I told on HIM and dared him to touch me. He came and said he couldn't believe i told on him but didn't try to fight me. He's mad and told all his friends to hate me but like i said he can just get over it and they can too.

Hmm . . . *thinks back way back when*

I was told that I was popular in high school. I was involved in a lot of social oriented extracurricular activities and featured in the school paper too (not to toot my horn, just sharing what manifested back then). I also hung out with others who happened to be very social and popular too. My Junior Prom date was the marching band's Drum Major, and Senior Prom date was nominated for Prince (and we went to the same college after graduation).

Well, I'm homeschooled, so I have no social status! But I never did, anyway, even when I went to school. I was always the quiet, reserved intellectual type, at least I think I was.

I went to a small School in a small country mining town. It made it so much better because every 'group' was small. I did alot of community volunteer work within sports clubs and tutoring etc so I tended to get respected by people and didnt have any trouble making friends (although that was not why I did it). I remember the most popular boy at School, he was so dis-respectful of people and even though he was my friend I hated the way he treated others. When it came time for our leavers dinner (prom) this guy went around saying we were going together, he didnt even ask me!!!! So, I took it upon myself to ask the one guy who mr popularity always put down, belittled and hurt. I was friends with him too and he was stoked that I asked him as he said he would never have had the courage to ask anyone. I had the greatest time with him and poor old Mr popularity didnt have a date (which I did feel a little guilty about...oh well!).

I think the most important thing in School is to remember people can be so cruel and just be true to yourself. It is one of the best times of your life so enjoy it!!!

Well, if I could get my scales in balance school would be a lot more fun...

(I do get them in balance- about once a month for a couple of days)

hmmmm. You know, I was looking through here and I noticed QOS that you had put a comment about how when you have your scales in balance school is a lot more fun... what exactly do you mean about that? I mean I can understand but specifically. Yea popularity is a joke, It's just so natural to put everyone in a position in a social hierarchy, what else it man to do? the 6 foot dude and the 4 foot 9 inch girl equal? maybe in humanity, but it's not true when you get down to the facts... I wish we could all just ascend and become pure energy, like what Einstein was talking about, but again were only human, in fact that reminds me of a problem I'm having, but I won't talk about it right now. Okay till next time, this revived topic is relevant, tell me what you think.

Well, I'm really painfully shy. And I don't know, for some reason, some people just intimidate me. But besides that, it's pretty hard for me to make close friends- I don't really like the close friends I have at school. I have a lot of acquitances and casual friends spreadout through the entire social hierarchy- from really ghetto girls to the smartest girl in our freshmen class. I guess I'm just considered the quiet girl who's nice to everyone?

Announcing that my social status has recently gone through the roof. Yeah, it's immodest to say so and not entirely true... but I don't feel like an outcast any more.

For a long time I was really shy, too. I had a lot of aqcuaintences, but no real friends. Once I got into high school, I forced myself to snap out of it, and became a social little butterfly. I got tired of trying too hard and being so needy, and I kind of went back to my normal state. It was weird though, before I knew it, I had gathered a group of friends around me, and though there are some new faces, they are a great group of people. Once I stopped trying to fit in, it was like all these people that I could...well..fit in with came along. Before I knew it I had the most colorful, eccentric, and craziest group at school. There's too many kids at our school to actually be considered popular, but I suppose we're a standout group . I guess what Im trying to say is that being secluded and deep in thought can be liberating, but being alone is over rated!
