Were you popular in high school?

I was but I thought it was all a joke and counted down the days until I could go to college. Do you think the concept of being popular still exists after high school?

highschool is the worst, but yeah it still exists. there are still the uber attractive and fun people and there are still the quiet shy ones. College and grad school still had cliques, but they can be much easily over come. work has them too..

You couldn't pay me enough to go back to high school. I think the biggest difference as we get older is that we have more free will. (For the most part) you choose your college, job, city of residence, etc. If you need a change you change any or all of those. Most people don't have any say as to what high school they go to and there isn't much recourse available if you're unhappy at the one you're stuck with.

Sadly I was popular with the guys and had the reputation as the school slut, but oddly enough I never dated any of boys from my school, they were to young, I always hung out with an older crowd and I didn't really care what people thought of me. Maybe thats why i had the reputation I did. I remember thinking how funny that these people think I'm a slut, they hardly knew me.

I was fairly popular in school, but not popular like the cheerleaders, those type of people. My kids are in elementary school, 5th grade, 3rd grade and 1st grade and I'm trying to teach them that just because you are popular doesn't mean you have good friends who love you. Popular is something only on the surface. With that being said, of course people want to be popular, but it has to be realized that bottom line it means nothign.

It's hard to believe that my high school graduation was nearly 4 years ago. Time sure flies. I was not popular at all in high school; very shy, awkward, etc. BUT I feel a lot more confident than I did back then (although still shy). I think the fact that I was made fun of in elementary school and a little bit in high school has given me the drive and motivation to succeed. Many people even snickered and looked down on the fact that I was "just" attending a nearby state university. Aside from soon earning my degree with four more quarters left, I've been working part-time, volunteering and engaging in other activities. And more importantly, I'm going to D.C. to intern this summer. Now, my other goal is getting in shape and I'm about 1/4 into my goal weight...about 18 more pounds to go. Just wait and see...5 year reunion coming up! hahaha

I look back at those people who were mean to me (even some "friends") or those that were popular and I feel like I have accomplished so much more than them.

1:10p - aren't there any cool people in band? Did my school even have a band??? Oh geez - I couldn't even tell you...

My school was small - a graduating class of about 100 - and there were groups, for sure, but I don't think we had any of that Queen Bee stuff going on. Good ole Catholic school...we were too busy breaking the commandments and going to confession for all of that petty, social nonsense.

I was definitely popular in the sense that I knew everyone and they knew me, but I did not hang out exclusively with the 'cool kids', so in that sense I was not. I hung out with absolutely everyone. I just have a huge variety of interests, am active about pursuing them and thus meet tons of people, all of whom I have something in common - it's only gotten worse as I've gotten older :-) I dunno - all those 'clique' rules just never seemed to apply to me...

You can see and get to know about professional biography writer as the topic was really informative for me and them so hopefully we can go for it and gain some more facts from one place to another now. I still hope you can try this now.
