Re: Popularity

I'm not popular, or unpopular. I'm in the middle. Not everyone is looking at me but no one is ignoring me. Although it does mean my friends do this to me everyday.

They're great friends, when they're not beating the shizz out of me.

Re: Popularity

@32orton
Im not unpopular.

And what are you talking about "patently untrue"? The stereotype is everywhere for Gods sake.

And how would you know its based on nothing? Do you know my life? Do you know me? No. So dont come at me saying my "generalizations" are "based on...well, based on nothing". THAT is patently untrue.

Have you ever watched the movie Mean Girls? As horrible as that movie is, it shows what kind of popularity I'm talking about.

You also demonstrated it. Generalizing people you have never met, and never will meet as "unpopular". How the hell would you know what the heck we are?\

EDIT: And I just realized that what I said was my opinion. I'm not saying all so called popular people are such and such a way. I'm saying thats what I THINK. So forgive me if I can't have an opinion anymore. So sorry. I'm not attacking you or your opinions, you're doing a good enough job of that yourself

Re: Popularity

Since I go to a school where there is a 1000 of us in the same year (grade) it's sort of impossible to single out "popularity" etc

Um popularity within schools seems so American to me, in both schools that I've attended in the past 5 years there really wasn't any attention given to who the more popular kids were etc, almost all of us pretty much got along and there really wasn't a lot of bullying :3
I wonder though, is it like that in America? The way it's shown in those films like mean girls, do people actually care about popularity?

Re: Popularity

First of all, omg your sig...
Second, some people really really do care about being popular. But to me, its always seemed silly to worry about what other people think of you. Especially when its only four years of your life. But yes, people care. I think it really is an American ideal. 'Murican society stresses fitting in and changing yourself to be like others, celebs for example.

Its sad and irritating, but I've found that its true

After some thinking I realized it's the same here. Even though the classrooms are a mess I don't see any competition / popularity thing, not like everyone gets really along with, but these American school movies, oh god.
