well, not really, but then again, i'm an undergrad in a school of 70 000, so no one knows everyone.

Back in high school I was pretty popular though.

I gues Im medium popularity. I am friends with everyone and go over the "cool" kids houses and stuff all the time but im not cool enough to go to the "cool" parties. I am also friends with the unpopular kids.

I guess I'm sort of unpopular. Not that people hate me or anything like that, it's more that I just have a few close friends and then most everyone else I'm cool with, though I don't really hang out with them outside of school. Though alot of that is probably because I don't get invited to any "cool" parties because I don't really drink.

Im friends with most people.
I dont think ive got on anyones bad side.
I get invited to all the parties... Both cool and uncool... and I try to keep a balance of which ones I go to.
The "Cool" parties often have cops coming to them, so I tend to say "I cant, I have Lacrosse the next day..."

popularity is for 8th grade girls and immature freshman that haven't grown up yet.

Well I have this friend named billy and a friend named James but they scatter when the bullies come. I get shoved into lockers and ussually get my PB and J taken away. I love it at lunch though, sometimes the girls ask me to throw away their trash and sometimes my hand even touches theirs as they hand me the tray. So yeah I think Im pretty popular.

P.S when mom sends me the red gummy bears for some reason I get so many more friends.

I have one close friend, sort of like a brother, then I suppose I get along with most everyone else. I'm not popular, but I suppose people know who I am. I'll associate with most people, unless of course they're just stupid.

My high school is small enough to the point where there isn't really a well defined popular group, and unpopular group. I mean, they are there, but not like most other schools. As for me personally, I have a few real close friends that are like brothers and sisters, and then I'm pretty much friends with everyone else.

Well, I just do what ever, as far as hanging out, hang with some kids that aren't that popular, but then some that I guess would be considered "popular", I just have friends, don't really care how popular I am or the kids I hang out with are, as long as they aren't total losers, and they are fun to hang out with, like I know a few kids who are cool they are just.....they just aren't that good at making friends, so I'll hang out with them some times. But I don't know what popular would be defined as, knowing alot of people.. alot of people knowing you? Alot of people likeing you?

01-09-2007, 09:29 PM
i have friends in just about every clique you can think of. so i would say friends with everyone, which kinda means popular...right? i only have one enemy, not including his friends who he has turned against me. i dont think they count though. but yeah just one guy who i cant have a friendly relationship with. yesterday he jumped me in the locker room, and lets just say it was a very unfair fight, considering he is 50 pounds heavier than i am and the captain of the wrestling team.

I don't think so, because popular kids are known by everyone but aren't friends with them. if you know what I mean.

I'm down with the clique, and the clique is down with me. Me my friends and our ladies have been called "the table" (our lunchtable if you didn't get that) and "the group" at my school we have two tiers of popularity. The cheerleader/football jock group, then we have my popular, the laxer/ soccer group, which take AP's and sort of exist among ourself.

I'm in the popular group like the ones you see in the movies that have their own table and always hang out with each other in and out of school but were not stuck up like that at all. We go around to other tables sometimes and talk to the other kids that were friends because its stupid to not be friends with a kid just because he's not considered popular. Were not stuck up at all casue we know were pretty much the same as everyone else.

well i wouldnt say popular especially right now. but i know almost all 250 people in my class and others in younger classes and im not hated, so i gues you could say i have a good amount of friends popular and unpopular but i only hang out with a very small group, even smaller now that im not at my school anymore. in my opinion i m not anything special.
i consider myself a loser
but i ll hang out with anyone so it doesnt really matter to me.

But yes, I do indeed hang out with all the Popular kids, and have been called a Prep... So yes, i would assume I am popular.

01-10-2007, 03:02 AM
i think it's all perspective. if you have a bunch of friends and you kick it all the time, then you're popular enough for yourself. the cool kids think they're the cool kids and that's why the whole "quantitative" friend system doesn't work. i'd rather have a few cool dudes to hang with than a bunch of people that are insincere and generally fake, not to mention closed minded, which happens to be my pet peeve... just cuz a certain crowd of people isn't in with you doesn't mean either one of you are better

01-10-2007, 03:03 PM
I'm friends with really popular people, really not popular people, the nerds, the debaters, the chess club, robotics club, art students, hippies, preps, jocks. And in that same sense I have people who hate me from each of those groups as well, I'm more of a love or hate type guy, you're either going to be a good friend with me or dislike me a lot.

Who cares if one is popular though, quality of quanity.

ShermanLax607
01-10-2007, 03:36 PM
At school I have my own little chill croud of friends that I hang out with but I wouldn't really consider myself popular. I just have a solid core of great people that I surround myself with, and a wonderful girlfriend.
So if I were to vote, I would probably go towards unpopular because I know I don't have an overwhelming amount of friends, and I like that, because I don't want to try and be friends with a bunch of insecure people that I don't even like anyways.
I do have a lot of school type friends though, but I never see them outside of school, and I have a lot of them... but still, I choose my friends wisely..

abomb
01-10-2007, 06:24 PM
well, i guess im "popular". Kids in my grade know who i am, or know of me, i got connections in most of the cliques, stoners, skaters, asians-who-care-about-their-grades-more-than-anything, football players, basketball players, lacrosse players, guys who are popular because they are really funny, girls of all types, basically all of them. i guess what is really preventing me from reaching that next level of popularity is not hanging out with girls. not because i dont know any or are friends with any, but because i dont know how......maybe a open forum topic in the future????????

Just for beating me to that saying that, your officially unpopular.

Im popular. I dont mean to sound like a jerk or anything, but I know most of the people in most of the crowds at my school. I have most of the "cool" parties. In fact, my reputation on that kind of precedes me. I have genuine friends in all types of groups. Its not really a "popular" thing in terms of wearing a letterman jacket, more just being a nice guy.

my school is way too small to have a "popular" crowd. there is deffinately an unpopular crowd that are more of a bunch of loners, they dont really like anyone. but with less than 90 people in the grade, everyone hangs out with each other most of the time.

My school is kind of cool (and unique?) in the fact that there's really not any set "popular" group, everybody is pretty much friends with eachother, or they at least get along and are chill with eachother. This isn't a small private school, there's about 2,500 kids, and it's divided pretty evenly between whites, hispanics, and blacks, with a little chunk of eastern europeans in there too. It's pretty legit.

wolfie8914
01-11-2007, 10:42 PM
In my school I guess there a larger group of students I hang out with that I guess are the "popular kids." However in this group, there is a smaller group who, to my amusement, still believes it is their role to fill the stereotype of the jock/popular/d-bags. Honestly, they still act like it's 7th grade and it's pathetic.

Don't mess with Brent. He's in ur macaronis, warming his feets.

My high school wasn't too cliquey. However you spell cliquey. Now I'm in school, and I miss the part of high school where I knew everybody, but at least in college you know who your friends are and they'll stick with you, whereas in high school there's the random turd that'll act a certain way to fit in with whoever, and by the time you graduate you'd like to punch them in the mouth. So yeah, high school had that immaturity where kids are trying to get popular and end up sucking, and I don't miss that. I was a nice kid. A lot of people knew my name. I did some crazy stuff every now and then. What's that mean? Who knows. I just enjoyed high school and knew plenty of people. So, I guess that makes it a success. I mean, I'd go back and redo it again differently, just because you realize that some things you cared so much about then don't matter.

I guess I was popular. I dunno, I don't really care. I'd recommend just ignoring all that high school jazz popularity stuff and just be nice to people. Or a sarcastic funny kid. Everbody likes the sarcastic funny kid.
