Popularity

[Arielfn93]

Ok, now, I'm fine with my friends, we have fun. It's always a good time, but I always seem to get jealous seeing popular people. The ones that have millions of friends, they seem to have a funner time.
Don't you sometimes just wish you were like that?
When I look at them, I look back at myself and feel
1. Extremely shy
2. Ugly
3. Nerdy
4. Friendless

And it doesn't help that I just moved.
I try to think, Hey my life is good, I have fun times.
But god, how I wish I was more outgoing.
So many people my age have already had tons of boyfriends, and I dont think a guy has ever looked at me.


Hmm,
so what is everyones opinion on all of this I have just ranted on about?

 

[PurpleDucky]

Well I don't really mind having not so many friends.
I only sit with two people at my lunch table, maybe one
In class, I only will sit with two people, but I'm open to others
I'm very shy, unless you know me
I have about..15 friends

 

[DisGirlAllie]

Ya know most people like that with "a million friends" just use them as accessories. They're not even real friends. Those people who are they're "friends" just hang with the popular people to boost their image. It's basically publicity.

1. Everyone feels that way sweetheart.
2. You're so pretty! You're gorgeous!
3. Hey we're all nerdy deep down!
4. Look to your left and right.


Everyone's nervous when they first move in. You may not have a boyfriend at the moment but that's probably because god has the perfect one waiting for you. Just be patient and wait for the right guy to come.

I can be very outgoing, but a lot of times when it comes to boys I can't. I wouldn't say I am the most popular person in the school and I really don't strive to be that type of person. But it does seems just in the past week of school that I have been with tryouts with the cheerleaders that I have been getting more attention. I don't know if that is good or bad. I mean the girls on the squad are great and really nice, but I know some of the upper class girls have that popular girl rep.

 

[::Snow_White::]

I'm actually opposite.

I love being a nerd.
Guys don't even like me, if anything they are afraid of me because I never smile when they are around. I have maybe 3 guy friends that everyone considers nerds and wierd. Even my friends but I like them anyway because they are nice. The guy for me will come around sometime, until then I'm going to enjoy the freedom of being single.
I laugh alot with my friends and I could care less.
All the popular kids have new boyfriends every other week and have fights with their friends all the time.
Yeah, sometimes I wish I was prettier.
I hope I never become popular.
I have...1 BFF, 2 really close ones, and the rest I don't know if they are really my friends. But they are my BF's, even though we hit rough water alot, we always make up.


It'll get better. Trust me. I didn't have a single friend until I was in about 7th grade. But it was worth the wait because I have some great friends. PM me if you need to talk or anything. :]

And I'll honestly admit my day is so much better when I come here to my friends. You guys understand me so much more than any of my real life friends.

 

[Arielfn93]

Thanks for the encouraging words everyone :] That made me feel better.
I do love being a nerd, it's so much funner, especially when you get good grades

And I hate fighting with friends, and popular people always have drama.

Thanks again :]

 

[tinkerbellblondie19]

Honestly, I'm fairly preppy/popular, so I don't see this as an issue.

I'm not the most popular girl in school, but I'm friends with almost everyone in the "in" crowd. I have my pack of closer friends, but for the most part, I hang with everybody. They understand that I lack spare time with all the extra-curriculars I'm involved in, and it isn't an issue.

My popularity status on a 1-10 scale?
-4.

But everyone is nice to me because I'm not in much drama.
And YES good grades.

Geeky Nerds are cool...they pretty much overtake our freshman class.
And I'm EXTREMELY SHY. I'd bet my life earnings that I'm more shy than you are. That's how sure I am. Teachers ask if I'm ok because I never smile, although I'm genuinly happy the majority of the time.

And when I talk people can never hear me.

[Am I the only one who finds it fun to talk about how nerdy I am..] hah.

Some people even think I'm wierd, because I: Listen to Japanese music, play video games, love soundtracks, read alot, write random stories. (My friends included on the thinking. My friend told me when I was playing some song if It was my "Japanese Crap". I got mad. xD)

 

[Arielfn93]

Aw, your still awesomly awesome on here :]

 

[BabyPiglet]

Hey sweetie, you're beautiful and a wonderful person. You have tons of friends, they're right here.

I used to think all those things. After changing schools, I felt so much better about myself. More confident/outgoing/etc. But I'm still awfully shy, I wish I wasn't but alas...that's just my personality.

 

[meeshheartsdisney217]

i love being a nerd
i'm not afraid to admit.
probably cuz i don't care what others think of me.

i just started HS this year.
i've never been a shy person. i was the person in K-4 on the first day who would go up to everyone and ask how their summer was, whether or not I knew them.

i'm not afraid to put myself out there.
especially with guys.

and heyy. that's the great part about being a nerd, all the guys come and ask you for help! it's great.

i talk to the popular people. yeah. that's kinda why i lost my other friends. but really if their mad because i can talk to everyone, then they shouldn't really be my friends anyway.

i bet you're a great person even though i don't really know you. but it's just something you gotta grow into. try everyday talking to someone you don't really know, because you never know who's out there.

ohh. i'm probably the loudest person you'll ever meet.
yelling when i'm excited is probably the best part.
you never know when i'm gonna start off on something.

 

[swimer3]

I don't think I fit in anywhere.

I'm a nerd. I take all higher honors classes.
But so do all my friends.
I'm a jock because I swim and hang out with all the athletes.
I'm well known in a good way throught school.
I socialize and go to football games and dances.
My friends are all the same way.
My best friends is "emo or scene" and my other best friend is an athlete.
I'm not sure about my popularity.
I know almost everyone in the school, and have talked to atleast 75% of them more than twice.
But it not like I'm all preppy, dittzy and "Wild" if that what you are getting at...

 

[CheerExtreme]

Personally, I would love to have you life.

I guess I am sorta the popular group. I am not the ones that use friends as accessories. (if you want the whole story on that I will give it to you, but you just have to ask cause I am not in the mood to type it.) I am the good popular group. I mean I am crazy and wild and have the best best friends in the world, and am known by the whole school (ok not all 2000 of them, but 1500 of them). Hey, it might sound fun until you are it. See if it sounds like fun now:
~You have to watch your back to make sure somebody doesn't screw you over.
~Get to know everyone inside and out...it may come in handy one day.
~Don't want to be known that much anymore? Not a good idea. You will be known as a NLBR.

Those are just a few things. In otherwords my life is like a highschool version of 5th avenue in New York. Pretty crappy if you ask me. It takes awhile to get to where I have gotten on the "food chain". I can be myself now and am just absolutely crazy and I LOVE IT!

Oh yeah,,, I don't have a boyfriend.

 

[disneydance]

It depends I have some real popular friends and i have some not so popular friends. I'm not as smart as my not so popular friends (They get straight A's I get ussually 4 A's and 3 B's) But I also can fit in with the not so popular kids I try to be friendly to everyone even if there not so friendly to me and I respect everyone the way I would want to be treated. Ive learned that most of the popular girls can be down right mean. But there are a few nice ones and I i'm friends with all of them. People like me because I can be trustworthy if they need to tell somebody something a good friend and be fun I DO have a Boyfriend but I had known him for a very long time and we have been dating since January. He is like my best friend and he so nice sweet cute and funny. I know that Blablabla is always fighting one day with blablabla and the next day they made up and are best friends again that is what popular girls are like. I'm real good friends with the most popular girl in school who is my neighbor across the street and fortunately we have NEVER got in a single fight but I hear all the time how she is mad at blablabla and the next day they are best friends again she gets mad about little things... so i know popular girls can be nice but also real jerks

I say a 10 for you! I'm probably like an 8,9, or a 10 on the popularity scale. Oh Elyse, the popular kids will be a hecka lot nicer to you if you don't cause any drama.

Thanks but...
You'd regret saying that if you watched me at school.
I don't talk to anyone except like...10 people.
And no one seems to bother talking to me except those 10.
Trust me...Trust me.

 

[pigletgirl]

Please don't stress about not being popular. It truly doesn't matter. As long as you have your good friends, who cares what others think of you!!

 

[disney100666]

well, I don't think I'm that popular. yet, that is. I have my own friends but my real BFFL's aren't in my clusta, well, one is but she's in like 2 of my classes. I just thank god I know someone in everyone of my classes. most popular peeps are pretty stuck up. don't worry about it darlin. your fine the way you are.

 

[hidmickey:myantidrug]

Don't you sometimes just wish you were like that?

No, never, not in the least. A vast majority of those considered "popular", at least around here, are popular for things that I would not want to emulate. I have no desire to be out drinking and partying until all hours. I don't want to get high 3 inches off school grounds. I don't want to get up 2 hours earlier than normal to make myself look like "pretty". I can tell you the exact day that some of these "popular" people first (note the stress on "first") got laid. (And I'm prefectly willing to take any points that may or may not be associated with me saying that.) I know who will "get it" from some popular guy that weekend. I don't know why anyone would want to be like that in the first place, let alone be jealous of it.

 

[GirlWithSpunk]

I feel like that too sometimes.
But then I think about all the friends I have/had, and the good times we've had and all that good stuff.

Try it!
