the "populars"(slags,man slags)

[princess09]

So in my school we have the "popular girls" the ones that think they're better than everyone me else, have to hang out in a small group all of the time, get all of the boys and most of them have lost their virginity. Then there's the boys that pick on your if you don't talk to them, calling you ugly fat too skinny or whatever. It pisses me off, they say that the "un populars" me and my friends don't have friends because we don't talk to them, but in fact my friends tell me that I am popular and that I am friends with a lot of people I'm not bragging about this my point is do you have groups of people at your school that will put you down for not being so called"popular"? I'm proud to be friends with a lot of people as it shows I'm fun nice and a caring person. Anyone else relating to this!?

Of course. I'm sure every high school student's school has a group of people who fit into the popular niche that sometimes pick on people, that is not even a question at this point. The real question is, does being classified as "unpopular" bother you even though you have a lot of caring friends? Do you feel down or dissapointed simply because you can't please everyone? If so then you, young lady, are insecure. Being insecure in highschool is like wearing a target on your head at a shooting range. People see that target and attack, feeding off of your hurt feelings in order to mask their own insecurities. If you find you don't fit the social standards set by popular people the least you can do is be confident in yourself and accept those insecurities as to not make yourself a target. The worse thing you could do is change who you are simply to become popular (which is what a lot of popular kids do anyways).

No, my school is pretty okay. I just don't talk to certain people for a number of reasons.

My school has a lot of groups. I can relate to this at the school I previously attended, and my new school. Having a certain number of friends; it doesn't determine popularity. Popularity is a joke. The only reason these kids are popular is because they do things that are supposedly cool. At my school, there is a 13 year old girl, and she had sex with a popular guy, just to be friends with him. As a result, she is currently pregnant. The worst thing you could possibly do is change yourself to fit into a particular category.

No, but that's probably because I'm a guy in high-school. Guys don't normally have too much drama among themselves, and it only gets started if there's a girl involved. Teenagers don't care about popularity at my age compared to when they did in middle school.

those girls sound like total... you know....

My point is: you shouldnt be jalous of them or anything.... If they are really like you described, they will NOT be respected by anyone when they are grown up.

people are buttholes, just avoid them. They say those mean things because theyre unhappy with themselves.

[Calypso]

We have popular people but its not the populars who are mean to everyone else in my school its the people that arent very high on the popularity level

[justin 13]

In my school people have a lot of groups and tbh nobody cares about the popular guys/girls.

[Elysium]

Not really. I mean, my grade's pretty small, and everyone's in their groups and all and there's a pretty obvious distinction between who's popular and who's not. There isn't any bullying that I know of in my grade though, and I'm not part of the popular group. Everyone's pretty friendly with each other. I'm really grateful for it.

Just realized I've taken where I live for granted.

I'm so lucky I don't have to put up with this shit. No one here would put up with that shit. I'm in the so-called 'top' social group of my year-group but it doesn't really mean anything it's just that status, everyone is friends with each other and the social aspect is flexible, groups change and sometimes merge and everyone tries to give the anti-social people a fair go. We have some people that don't really talk much and may be new to the country and just focus on school and play like yu-gi-oh and other card games at lunch time with their little groups but everyone's really nice & friendly to them trying to make them comfortable for conversation.

And I just go to some middle class public high school LOL

My year-group has about 220 people in it

[Lost in the Echo]

There's people like that in every school. Don't pay any attention to them, they're just fucking pricks. Be yourself, you don't need their approval. Being "popular" is overrated. Fuck them.

[Synyster Shadows]

Like Bo said, popularity is overrated. As long as you have some true friends you can talk to about anything, you're set. Fuck popularity.
