Your thoughts on Popularity [Question mark]
 
In school isn't there alway a group of what people call "The popular kids"?. What are your thoughts on popular kids these days? and I am referring to popular kids in school. *YOUR* school.

So, what do you guys seem to think about popular kids?.

Pokemaster_99 January 3rd, 2010 10:32 AM

Well, if they are way too cool and popular I don't hang out with them at all. I think that they are just being too bossy cos' they are popular. :/

Game Over1375 January 3rd, 2010 10:34 AM

Depends on the people. Most of the popular kids at my school are really nice. They few that are not so nice are low on the popular chain. Some people say I'm popular for some reason or another, although I usually disagree.

poopnoodle January 3rd, 2010 10:35 AM

The last school I attended didn't really have "popular kids," we all knew each other and spent time together outside of school. There was the occasional person who chose not to talk to anyone, but we were always welcoming.

I Laugh at your Misfortune! January 3rd, 2010 10:39 AM

At my school, the popular kids are typical popular kids. That is, if you meet them in a group, they'll be massive douchebags. Talk to them on their own, however, and they're fine. They're just too scared about not being "cool" anymore to be nice when anyone else is there.

Micro SD January 3rd, 2010 11:39 AM

The popular kids in my school aren't so bad. But I'm best friends with most of them and I go to a small school. Plus it kinda helps that I'm on the football team. Anyways, they have their moments where they're pains, but it rarely happens to me and my group of friends.

Ayselipera January 3rd, 2010 2:43 PM

There really aren't any popular kids at my school. Just normal kids, weird kids, and annoying kids. Although people tell me I'm popular because everyone knows who I am, but that's just because I like talking to all different people and I can't stand just sticking to one group of friends.

Anxiety. January 3rd, 2010 3:21 PM

Well, I dislike the popular girls at my school. The guys just fight and talk about sex. The girls however, they whine, spread rumors, call groups of people on you, and are very, very homophobic, which sucks for me because I'm gay.
Sadly, they're always douchebags, on their own or with friends.

But dont get me wrong, not all of them are bad, just the ones in my year.

Unforgettable January 3rd, 2010 3:26 PM

That's just high school stuff. When you get in the real world, you don't really have "popular kids"

sonic smash down January 3rd, 2010 4:14 PM

yea i agree it starts 8th grade and up, but as for me personally, I'm actually considered popular. It funny cause most of the peps over at my school relize how much effort the band puts in to their crap and we're about the same as football. I guess I didnt relize my popularity till the end of first semester of junior year, because I was actually really quiet until alot of the *populars* started talking to me to get me talking. But either way i really don't care if I am or not, I just like hangin around lots of different people, and just having fun :D.
It may have been my obnociousness to try anything once, or me going to the prom with a cheerleader. (funny part was I had no idea who she was until like a week before the dance XD). now im in the second semester of my senior year so wish me luck at that prom to
anways doesnt matter if your popular or not, just hang wit your friends and have fun wit them. Thats all that really matters in high school....that and grades (i guess XD)

curiousnathan January 3rd, 2010 4:22 PM

Well at my school we have tons of popular kids... but it depends because some people think that My friends and I are popular because we are the ones at the top of every class, but I consantly diagree. The really popular kids at my school are always making rumours and fighting verbally as the boys also think they are so so cool they fight and act as if the own the place.
But I just choose not to notice them, even though my friends do alot sometimes...
I am some teachers pets but I dont think that classifies as 'Popular' in the kids comcept of it all.

Yamikarasu January 3rd, 2010 5:26 PM

In high school I can't really tell who the "popular" kids are. In middle school it was really obvious: there was a group of friends that everyone seemed to gravitate to. Now in high school it just seems like there are tons of different cliques, and the kids who were once "popular" are now just jocks or preps, and kids don't gravitate to them as much. I have my own group of friends, and we generally just don't interact with the other few hundred kids in our grade.

Yeah, just different cliques. Jocks, Preps, Hipsters, Nerds, etc. No one is really more popular than the rest.

Spikey-Eared Pichu January 3rd, 2010 10:12 PM

My take on it is that every school has an entire web of different groups. Ours has:

-Geeks and Weirdos, who normally gravitate towards one another and cant really survive in any other group.

-Potheads and Thugs, who just stick together because they deal to each other or have been busted and met in juvie. Usually stick to themselves, but can be wherever they want because everyone's too intimidated to do anything about 'em.

-Preps, imo, the most dispicable group of highschoolers ever to be spawned from the wombs of rich or naive mothers. They NEVER hang with anyone who isnt a prep. To be a prep, you must wear name brand clothing from AeroPostale, American Eagle, or Bass Pro Shop (where I live which is redneck center of Florida: Lake Placid) and you must be upper-middle class. Usually consists of idiot blondes, brainless jocks, dumbass rednecks, dirtbike junkies, or hunters. I wish they'd burn.

-Other, my category =D We're the guys and gals that will be friendly to almost everyone and console each other when needed. Members of band, nice guys, innocent girls, emos, goths, outcasts, we accept all of them. We're the REAL people. Most of us hate the preps and just love to invade their little circles and see how they react. We hang out after school and we always know whats going on with each other. Yay for the Other category ^.^

(Not to be racist)-Mexicans, yep these guys get a group all their own. Our school is about 50% Mexican, 30% African, and 19% White, and 1% Other (Me, again). Anyways, they always hang with each other and usually give walkers-by who cast a wondering glance a dirty look. Always in a pack and always trying to act tough.

(Again, not to be racist)-African, these guys and chicks are LOUD. Never shut up, usually cause some sorta disruption in class, and always have to be LOUD AS POSSIBLE.

Please note, I'm not being racist, I'm just describing how they act at my school. Basically, I don't have popular kids at my school, but since the Mexicans never do anything, the Preps are the biggest group and usually win in any school-vote related function. Ugh, I wish they'd all get H1N1 and be housebound for the rest of my highschool career.

Shiny January 3rd, 2010 10:53 PM

The 'popular' people at my school are actually the incredibly stupid students.

Idiot! January 3rd, 2010 11:30 PM

Not a group, but individuals. There are some who are popular because of money, and some because they are just good at making friends. I happen to have a friend from the latter.

Since I don't really like mixing with people, I do not know what are their general personalities like, so I dislike having to judge them.

I happen to be famous in my school because I dared to break records that no one else does, and my friends say I am popular, but most are just a bunch of mutineers who follow whoever happens to be the most popular. I wouldn't want to be perceived as popular for any reason at all.

Dukey January 4th, 2010 12:15 AM

We have the usual completely idiotic popular kids, who wouldn't pass 6th grade if you needed a mark to get through :/

Then there's the other popular group who are in the top class, but aren't complete nerds.
I being in that group find it awesome that there's a group at this school that have a decent intelligence and can still have some credibility.

.Seth January 4th, 2010 12:48 AM

My school (Tupelo High) has the usual popular mules kids. Of course, they act all sophisticated, smart-as-hell, and overall too cheery. I'm sure they're nice kids, but they flaunt too much. And, usually, if I ever have the pain of talking to them in a group, it'd be like this image. And, most of them are a pain in the rear. They are most annoying people I've ever laid eyes upon, yet they get everyone else's attention nonstop.

In the words of Rtas 'Vadum:
"Burn their mongrel hides!"

That's from Halo 3; don't ask.

Wings Don't Cry January 4th, 2010 1:49 AM

The popular boys at my school are normally nice people and just easy to talk to unless you're scared of people in groups. The girls on the other hand just like to be full of themselves and are really inconsiderate of others. They're pretty much those antagonists you see in those teenage movies.

DonRoyale January 4th, 2010 2:56 AM

The popular kids at my school were all a bunch of tools, stoners and douchebags. They wore HCO and thought they and their other orangeskin friends were cool.

(On a side note, no man should tan, ever. It's not hot, sorry. :|)

I always had a bone to pick with the popular kids. When I felt I needed to stand up for myself, I did. I had to put up with a lot of crap in my five years of high school; the typical verbal bullying (most of which was more hilarious than serious), threats of being beat up (none of which happened, lol), and rumors, OH BOY HOWDY THE RUMORS. (None of which included the gay rumor...which I find just ironic and hilarious all at once.)

-In grade 9/10, the popular kids of my grade bullied me. One half ended up turning into degenerate nerds who were too busy studying for biology to get drunk like most popular kids should. The other half ended up being stoners and womanizers. That half doesn't suprise me, but that half for the most part were spectators and didn't much care to bully me.
-In grade 11/12, I became friends with another grade's popular kids, including the biggest jock in the school. Suffice it to say it was a decent year, but it was one where I felt out of place, and it was at least quiet since the popular kids liked me. (The ones of that grade, anyway; the ones a grade below me started with me because they were just immature and needed someone to justify their egos. I fought back, at one point writing "F--- popularity" on the board of one of my classes; a moment two of my friends will never forget. The look on some people's faces...hahaha.)
-Grade 13 was probably the worst. I called the most popular kid in the school--a total tool and pretty boy--an ass because we were once friends and when I was telling everyone how talented his band was and how nice they all were, he was pulling pranks on me, treating me like crap, and pretending like I didn't exist, and talking crap about me. So ever since then, he turned the entire popular crowd against me, and started a rumor that I hooked up with this girl at my high school prom afterparty (which...just LOL. I wanted her best friend...lmfao), and I eventually caught a Facebook status of him and a few friends excessively talking crap about me (saying I fap to Snorlax, stalk all of them, and was gonna go Columbine on their asses. As if. One of them threatened to beat me up; I didn't even see him that day and haven't since.).

The popular kids are not people you want on your bad side, kids. Just saying. If you want to stand up for yourself, that's all and well, but be prepared to put up with a lot of senseless BS that you really shouldn't have to deal with because it's, well, senseless.

Guillermo January 4th, 2010 3:30 AM

At the school I went to for the last three years until now, most of the popular kids were nice. There were a few that, well, only considered themselves popular and people only pretended to like.

But like Donny said, a lot of the popular kids nowadays are stoners and douchebags.

Klippy January 4th, 2010 8:42 AM

When I was in highschool, the popular kids were sorta just around my group of friends. But now that we've graduated, they're back at the bottom of the "cool" pole and are asking the nerdier people they ignored before to hang out since no one else wants to hang out with them. lollll.

I see that happen all the time. I guess it'll happen to me soon. :3 Anyway, I really don't care about being popular. I've only been at my current high school for 3 years, and when I started there I even said "there's no way I'll be popular". I kinda am, but not the typical "omigawd" preppy popular. I just act like myself and people always say hi to me in the hallway...which is annoying. But I digress. I'm always gonna be the nerdy little kid that sings show tunes in the middle of class...and the one that has Pokemon all over their binder...and the kid that wears funny clothes...and who screams...a lot...okay...maybe I'm not that popular.

But the only real thing that matters...is your grammar. Because if you have good grammar, I love you. And that's all you need. Syd's love. :]

THIRTY-SIX January 4th, 2010 8:48 AM

The ones that aren't dead or in prison are pretty successful. Most being successful, although maybe not in their viewpoint.

ruby January 4th, 2010 8:51 AM

I'm not sure whether popularity was ever an issue in my school, it might've been more important in the earlier years but that completely disappeared by time I left.
There were certain groups of friends, but eventually they all just merged into one... Minus the obvious twats.

LadyJirachu January 4th, 2010 9:52 AM

...A..are...Preppies...AGENST NERDS?! ;___;

PS; I will NEVER leave you....EVER.

Also...does being 'girly' as a kid=Prep? Do girly people HAVE to become empty shells AND h*te nerds?! T_____T Empty...shells......*shutters* That's a fate worse than death, if I had to choose between THAT and death, i'd choose to just DIE. The end...

Shadow Sneak Sableye January 4th, 2010 10:00 AM

I am considered 'popular' but that's because of where I live and what I'm wearing. I hang out with the 'loser crowd' and a lot of the snobs and kids on sports teams look down on that and make fun of me because of it. I've also noticed that one of my teachers is biased twards the kids on sports teams

That's a horrible thing to say. I wear name brand clothing from Abercrombie and Fitch and Aéropostale and would typically fall under the "prep" category if I gave the time to actually bother with the many idiots I have to deal with when I go to school, but I choose not to for obvious reasons. Not all people in that stereotype are like that. Most of my friends (online, that is; offline I either don't talk to anyone or I talk to people from various cliques in high school), actually, would fall under that category but for whatever reason do not due to their personality. I consider myself to be a preppy loner, which I am absolutely proud of because I don't need a group of people around me the whole time to identify who I am as a person.

As for the popular crowd, its weird because I was just thinking about this today in English class. I was sitting there (my desk is smack dab in the epicenter of the classroom) while we were watching a movie. I shouldn't say watching, however. My English class is full of popular kids. There are only a hand few of people who are considered to be unpopular towards, to my speculation, the popular kids of my graduating class. The more unpopular kids are spread out across the room, and the mass of popular kids are grouped in between them. There are only about four or five people in my class who aren't considered to be one of their clique since most of the popular kids in my graduating class communicate with each other throw a massive clique. I'd say about 1/2 of the kids in my class are involved in this clique. And yes, I would call it a clique because they reject by the mass (I've never tried to get in it, nor have I ever cared).

Anyway, I was thinking about it during the movie. All of the kids were talking, especially when my English teacher had something to say, and I just thought to myself "My ****ing God, these kids are terrible. Just let the man speak, its not that hard. I'm sure out of all your years being here you'd have learned that listening is important, especially when its in school. I know its difficult for you, but just shut your damn mouths and listen to the man." Shame about it is is that my English teacher compliments us on being such a good class as a whole. It makes me lol and then I'm sitting there, the only one laughing... even if its just softly.

Then came the thought "Ten years from now, I'll be the one signing your minimum wage paychecks." -- That's my overview opinion of those involved in the popular crowed (which are different from the prep crowd at my school because in my opinion everyone is a prep in their own way, regardless of how they carry their selves. Preps are just typically, to me, people who prefer to dress in not necessarily more expensive clothing, but nicer clothing when in public. I know as soon as I get home, I change into more comfortable clothing (not to say that clothes from Abercrombie & Fitch aren't comfortable, however) and sit around looking a little less fabulous than I did when I was at school.

FreakyLocz14 January 4th, 2010 10:15 AM

When I was in high school (2004-2008), I never really talked to the popular kids. Although I wasn't anti-social I only had a few friends who were trustworthy and shared similar interests. I began socializing with the popular kids when I was a senior. Just by virtue of being a senior you were more popular than most kids unless you were a complete geek (by popular standards) though not necessarily in the popular crowd. Around half of the popular kids were douches and the other half were quite friendly though we never became good friends. In my senior year a group of freshman skater kids followed me because hanging with a senior looked cool I guess.

Most of the popular kids (now young adults) did not go to college or went to a community college at best. A small handful did got to a university.

ThornPython4 January 4th, 2010 10:25 AM

no..

I was never popular in school. And I honestly pay no attention to the ones who are. It isn't important, I just get on with my school work and life. :D

ArcanineOod January 4th, 2010 10:28 AM

There was a girl in my school who was a horrid bully. A year or two after she left, we spoke on MSN, where she said that at her new school she was in the 'popular group' so she was better than me. She made such a fuss over it! I just found her obsession with popularity rather pathetic.

School is primarily for learning. Further down the senior school, and perhaps towards the end of the junior, popularity mattered to me a little. Not that much though; I was content to be friends with my friends and try to work hard.
Now however... Well, I wouldn't say that every girl in the year is friends with everyone else, but we keep ourselves to ourselves. Of course, if you have over a hundred teenage girls gathering in one place five days a week, there's going to be animosity for various reasons, but we're all generally friendly to each other. Well, that's how it seems to me.
There doesn't seem to be a 'popular group' at the moment. We're all in our own friendship groups.
I mean, there's a group of girls in my class who are pretty popular, but not in the stereotypical mean girls way. They're popular because they're friendly and cool. They don't lord it over the others, and they're not really considered 'the popular group', but people seem to like them. There isn't a queue of girls lined up desperate to join the group or anything like that. Everyone seems pretty content where they are in terms of popularity. Quite frankly, with such major exams coming up, we've all got bigger things to think about than our popularity.

Popularity doesn't matter to me; I've got my small group of close friends and I'm friendly with others in my class and year. I think that's pretty much the attitude of most of the girls in my year.

I wonder whether going to an single sex school makes a difference. I've been going to my girls' school since I was four, so I don't know how different it would be if we had boys too. It's an interesting question...
Of course, it could be the fact that my school puts a lot of emphasis on work and results. We're all more focused on work than we otherwise might be. The school's quite proud of the intelligence of the students, and expects us to keep up the tradition, so we're under a lot of pressure to work hard rather than fuss about incidental things like popularity.

Harmonie January 4th, 2010 1:49 PM

Popularity is overrated.

All it means is that you have a larger amount of people to backstab you. I'd rather stick to just a few friends. Even though it's still inevitable to get backstabbed, it's better to only have it happen from a few.

The Darkest Gale January 4th, 2010 1:53 PM

I hate the whole popularity thing >_< especially when your at the academy cause all the 'popular kids' are all popular cause they annoy teachers. how sad =( plus I hate them all

Corvus of the Black Night January 4th, 2010 2:17 PM

I would hate being popular. Not all popular people are bad, but many can be.

Edelweiss January 4th, 2010 2:39 PM

My school doesn't have a problem with "popularity"...or at least to the naked eye. I just don't worry too much about what other people have to say about me if I don't know them well, so I haven't had many problems in high school in this regard. I'm referring to the popular people in the sense that others in this thread are speaking of (as in being the self-loving "popular" and not the popular as in "well liked"). I'm far from popular myself in either definitions, but I don't gripe about them much in return either, since it's a waste of emotional energy.

Caelus January 4th, 2010 4:35 PM

During my time here at my high school I haven't seen any popular group. It looks like my school just has a lot of groups that stay in certain areas, but none of them stand out as the popular group.

That said, I'm in a lot of groups, but I won't consider myself popular; I just can't stand being in just one group.


Now back when I was in Middle School, you could tell who were popular and who were not. >_>

dc_united January 4th, 2010 4:48 PM

At my old school, which I attended from sixth till mid-ninth grade, there was a definite barrier to popularity, but not in the high school though... you could have been a total nerd and gotten away with taking THE girl to prom. Unfortunately, my middle school generation missed that, and decided to pretty much relentlessly attack those who weren't white, not into hip-hop (which had finally become popular), or played some videogame that wasn't GTA or Madden.
You could pretty much say it was Preps against nerds/rockers/minorities/skaters/punks/etc.
I had my revenge though. When I roadied for a friends band that did a gig at their school four months ago, we managed to get with almost every girl in my grade and scare the crap out of the guys.

At the high school I've attended since, there are a whole bunch of cliques, and people like me who are 'popular' because we get along pretty well with everyone or were just athletic, smart, had cool older friends, or hung out with scary people. The only people who are any popular are the ones who do the school announcements/ 'comedy' broadcast.

Flying Zebras January 4th, 2010 4:50 PM

At my school all the popular kids are just wannabes >_>

Anti-Hero January 4th, 2010 10:26 PM

Popular is just another word no one knows the meaning of. What makes you popular? Being liked by a decent amount of people? Well then, by those standards, most everyone is popular. Or maybe it is a sport, still, a lot of people would be "popular." Or maybe it is being gorgeous and having good looks, and lots of money. I'd still have to disagree, I know lots of people who aren't good looking, and yet, they are popular. Basically, either everyone is popular, or no one is.

And, even then, depending on what group you ask, different people are popular.

Guy January 7th, 2010 5:04 PM

My old school before I moved had their popular clique, and it did consist of the usual football jockeys, cheerleaders, and higher class kids. They did have their preppy behaviors or attitude in which they think to be better or more higher than you. I would have to admit it did get annoying to how they may have thought, but then again it wasn't the thing to get the best of me. It's high school and the different cliques, especially the popular groups, are always a factor while going to school.

I was a well known student at school. Mostly for my high grades and participating in a few clubs such as Drama. Though, going to a small school where almost everyone knows everyone, I never considered myself to be popular. Now, I wear brand named clothes such as Aéropostale and I even would admit to having a bit of a preppy behavior sometimes, but I never think I would be higher than someone in the way the popular kids at my old high school would think.

Then again, this is my senior year and when I really put this idea into thought, after all of this popularity isn't something that will matter much. Personality is what will be looked at foremost and while I took the time with my studies I can say, "Hey, at least I may not have been high and looked upon like others in high school, but I'll be off with a strong career now." Really, I'm just who I am and I don't want to pretend to be something I am not. Popularity may be great for those at the time, but after awhile they head into reality and it wouldn't matter too much then.

Soul Eater January 8th, 2010 1:36 AM

ogod seriously. I hate those who label others and consider themselves too good for others. I mean what's the point of making yourself look good just because you're rich or beautiful? D:

This coming from a person whose been considered a nobody her whole life. >:|

ÇyänïdëÉX January 8th, 2010 5:45 PM

I guess in high school (my high school) each group had their own popular people. I guess in my group or rather in some of them i was quiet up there in the ranks but i never really made much of it. Though i did roam a lot. I guess playing a guitar added to my popularity..and it having a big nirvana sticker on it made it like a huge + for me hahaha. Even though it wasn't really about that we all were who we were and didn't really see it as popular though there were those who went out there to always be in everything. I guess you called those the popular kids.

Saltare. January 8th, 2010 6:03 PM

I'm not popular. Nor will I ever be. The popular kids are the ones who always wear the expensive clothing brands and they think they are better than everyone else.

Charizard3 January 8th, 2010 7:58 PM

uggg popular kids in my school are jerks and brats. i dont like to be a stereo-type, but i do admit that i am because i think when you are popular you automatically become a jerk. i dont care if im being prejudice, but thats the way it is in my school. i get in fights with them all the time. although i am still in middle school, i can't wait to get my revenge on those jerks for wut theyve done to me and my friends. im not considered popular or a nerd, but i could care less what people think of you as. they think that they are all that and that they are better than every1 else, but they aren't. in my school, there are lunch tables for each "clique", which is absurd. everything in my school is absurd.

Ninetales433 January 8th, 2010 8:54 PM

I'm not popular,and I don't want to be one.Turning into one actually makes people hate you more and more.

♣Gawain♣ January 9th, 2010 12:36 AM

There are 2 kinds of "popular" kids in my opinion. The first one is the "smart" kid or the nerd, popular because people often would come to them and ask their advice or opinion on things. The second one is the well known type, the bully. They're only popular because they're tough and highly muscular, which most people feared and they have no choice but to "ally" with them. They think they rule the whole classroom, but that's only an illusion. All will be gone when they come to realization.

I don't mind the above mentioned first ones, but I can hardly stand bullies.

Pokémon Ranger ✩ Moriarty January 9th, 2010 8:30 AM

The popular girls at my school were all platinum blondes who slathered their faces in make-up and failed every class except Textiles.

The popular boys at my school were all football jocks who told racist jokes and went out on drunken binges every single day of the week.

Needless to say, I hung out with all the cool geeky kids instead. Popularity is so overrated, in my experience. :3

snap12 January 10th, 2010 4:44 PM

Im really proud to be one of the popular kids at my high school. I know that sounds pretentious and stuck up, but I don't feel like it is. My group of friends does the typical partying on the weekends and stuff, but we are always inviting other kids that we don't hang out with that often. We are pretty accepting of the random kids in our school and get along with most people.

Im not going to lie though, we can be pretty big bullies when it comes to douche bags who think they are the greatest thing in the world. Those stereotypical douchey kids that actually beat up the smart kids? Yeah, we hate them and don't deal with them, we actually defend the kids that would be considered "nerds" (thats a horrible word though). I think its because I go to private school, and all of the popular kids are reallllyy smart and are going Ivy League (not me tho haha).

The most important thing is, the popular kids at my school are the ones that play pokemon. I'm not even kidding. Its so hilarious walking through the halls of my school to see kids trading and battling. Most of them pretend like they are playing jokingly just to fit in, but we all love it :)

It's funny how most of you say that jocks are dumb when they need to get good grades to be in a sports team. The preps at my school are really smart, to a point.

I don't like popularity. When one calls you popular, you might overreact or blow it out of proportion. When someone calls you unpopular, that would just put you down..
