    Why am I not popular?
    Why is it the whores and huuuge attention craving drama loving stuck up preppy *****es get all the attention they wantt?

    Because they're not as angry and as unapproachable as you are.

    Popularity is not everything. And not all attention is good. Some of the girls that were most well-known at my high school were known for things I would never want to be known for. The people that did know me knew me as someone who was dependable, honest, and hard-working. And I'd rather a few people know me for those kind of qualities than for being a whore or a drama queen by everyone.

    I was popular in high school because I was smart and at the top of my class.

    Tell me more about your life at school.

    1) If you are in a group of, say, five people, what happens?

    2) How do you decide on where to sit and eat at lunchtime?
  • Aug 23, 2011, 05:03 PM

    5 people? Haha well it kind of depends on who and what the situation is! If they are my really good friends I'd probably have a really good laugh and , I'd have a conversation with anybodyy! And a little laugh if they are nice!

    & I either sit with my group of closer friends (probablyy most often), or I have a few guy friends I sit with sometimes, and there's another clique of girls I sit with sometimes because I have a few friends in it! orr sometimes with this girl in my class if her friendss went out and she wanted to stay and have a chat with me! I just sit with whoever I had plans to sit with that day :p

    Do you make the person you are talking with the most important person in your life for that time?
  • Aug 23, 2011, 05:15 PM
    ahay19
    Um, well I listen to them and pay attention to the conversation and stuff! I wouldn't say they are the most important person in the world :P ?
  • Aug 23, 2011, 05:17 PM

    For that time, I said.

    What if you were with someone you don't like much? -- say, a teacher assigned the two of you to do a special project.
  • Aug 23, 2011, 05:22 PM

    I'd make the most of the situation! Like this girl on my soccer team doesn't like me, and I'm not a big fan of her either, but we talk to each other and stuff as if we're bestkind! I still respect her. And we need to work together on the team so we kind of act like we're friends when we both know we don't really like each other that much :p its all cool

    Lol

    Then don't judge others, for instance, the "whores and and huuuge attention craving drama loving stuck up preppy *****es".

    I call it like I see it.

    Judge not, lest ye be judged.

    What does being popular mean to you? And what is it that you would like to be popular for. The people you are choosing to judge are the "whores and and huuuge attention craving drama loving stuck up preppy *****es". I am going to guess that you are not wanting to be one of those people considering that you are talking down on them, if you wanted to be popular you can just do what they do. So... what is it that you would like to be known for? In high school, which was not too long ago for me, I was pretty popular because I knew everyone, and everyone knew me because of my grades (not the highest but pretty high) and for being a good friend.

    Good Luck,

    Well people that sleep around at like age 14 are whores I'm afraid. And I know a lot of them really well , enough to know that they love their attention and drama. & they are very concerned wit their looks and "preppy" I KNOW these people so I can tell you these things for a fact. You don't KNOW me! So you can't say anything

    JaviI would like to be popular because I'd like to be well known for something good , and have lots of friends. But sadly I guess that isn't how it works these days? :S because I am a very good friend to the ones I have, I actually do have the highest average , I'm good at sports and stuff but yet still I'm not thaat popular

    I'm guessing you are more popular than you realize. I don't know what you consider "popular," but being a good friend who listens well and laughs at jokes sounds awfully popular to me.

    I would rather not be popular then be a person who has lowered their values.

    It is amazing, that the boys will meet the girls in the back of school for some fast sex, or date them often in high school, but they are never the ones that end up with the boys that get the higher paying jobs and the ones that advance in their lives normally as adults.

    So every guy does not want to ask you out, since it is not easy sex, does it really matter ?

    You don't know me either.

    Are you friends with these whores and preppies, or do you just know and hate them all?

    Well, as a preppie, smart (7th in class college scholarship), band and chess club geek, who had great friends, and was in high school less than ten years ago, I have to agree with slapshot and say that it may be you. If you come across as arrogant in person as you do online, I wouldn't want to be friends with you. If you hate these people so much that you would call them names, why do you want what they have, popularity. You almost sound jealous.

    Bottom line. High school doesn't matter. Popularity doesn't matter. It really is overrated to be surrounded by people who know nothing about who you really are. I will admit that high school is much easier being popular and feeling loved and accepted by others, but unless you feel that same love and acceptance for yourself, you won't be happy. It was much better to graduate being happy with who I am than being happy about what other people thought of me. And, honestly, happy confident people are the kind that other people want to be around.

    Don't your friends already know you for being a good friend and for having the highest grade in the class, and doesn't the rest of the school know who the top of the class is? I don't understand where you problem with popularity is... Maybe YOU are not the one that is giving you enough credit for the things that you have already accomplished, and if you are looking for more credit you can always pick up hobbies that help the community, like community service.
  • Aug 25, 2011, 06:41 PM

    Then, you will not only be popular in your school, but also within other population of your community as well.
