To some people, being popular is like living a dream. If someone is popular they think they are more important than anyone else in the school environment. They think they run the school and all people not part of their immediate popular crowd are not worthy enough to associate with them. Some people that are not part of this so-called “popular crowd” worship them and wish they could be them. Other kids hate the idea of a popular crowd, for the simple reason that they are treated like lower life forms in their school.
The kids in this other group, the kids who aren’t sport stars, or beauty queens, are ignored in the social world and stick to themselves. But the popular kids in some cases feel it is their duty to make these “less popular” beings, feel horrible about the fact they are not popular. One way “popular” kids do this is by bullying. Bullying is the number one reason children all over the world wake up every morning scared to go to school, at the thought of what is awaiting them.
Popularity is not the most important thing in the world. This “popular group” in high school may seem cool during those four years of schooling; but after your years of education are over, you are never even going to seem them again. So why would you spend so much time, trying to impress a group of people that cause pain to others, when you will never even see them again. In high school you should establish good friendships with people you like that mean something to you, you shouldn’t be trying to fit in with the group everyone would like to be in.
The simple truth in the difference between being popular and being part of a group is whether the group of friends you belong to, is the popular group. There are many social groups in an average school environment; some are jocks, nerds, beauties, goths, and many more. If you happen to play sports, your part of that “popular jock group. If you are very smart and love video games, you’re a nerd. But what makes the jocks “better” or “more popular” then the nerds? The nerds are probably great people with great personalities, but sadly no one cares about that just because they aren’t “popular enough”
Not everyone in the social world can be popular. But that does not mean you are lower then anyone else. If anyone is low, it’s the so called “popular group” for finding the fun in putting people down, or making them feel like dirt. These are the people with problems; they are the ones who need the satisfaction of someone else’s pain to feel good about them selves. You can go through school not being the most popular, but you can make friends that like you for who you are, not your social class or who your friends with. And the people who think that way are more happy then the fakes who act like everyone wants them to just to be part of the “popular group.”
