Do you ever wish you were popular?

U know sometimes I look at the popular kids at my school and think damn I wish I had that many friends lol not that I don’t like my life and all but I guess It’d be nice if everyone admired you and wanted to start conversarions with you. Plus popular girls get all the boys they want I mean…it’s unfair

I used to think that. I’ve always been in that group that everyone knows and likes, but we are pretty dang awkward and loud. We are that group of chill, funny kids that always get in trouble. Some consider us popular, but actual popular people think we are just basic and dumb :joy: But, I stopped wanting to become more popular than I already am, those people are SO stuck up and cause immense drama. I am a sucker for some drama in life, but YIKES they are full of it. I noticed how lonely some popular kids are and how much time they put into their image to impress others because they want to be admired and wanted so much. It’s HIGH expectations for anyone who is relatively popular. And a lot of them tell secrets about each other and they all use each other to become more popular, it is an awful system. None of them are perfect, they have struggles and insecurities like the rest of us. DISCLAIMER: Not all popular people are like that, and those people make great friends!!

But, I definitely understand why you would want to be one of them. A lot of them are gorgeous and picture-perfect. And yea, they do get some guys :joy:

I wish I was popular, but not as a student. As a musician or Episode writer.

Honestly, no. All I need is a few close friends. That’s all anyone really needs to survive. When you’re popular, it’s hard to get close to juts a few people when you’re bombarded by so many people. And a lot of people only hang out with you because you’re popular. And it’s hard to be popular, too. You have to meet everyone’s expectations and standards, rumors are always spread about you, and everyone talks about you behind your back. A lot of boys only go to the popular girls just because they’re popular. A lot of popular people in high school often peak in high school, then go on with life, and it usually goes downhill from there. There is a popular group at my school which is filled with chill, funny, genuine people. But popular groups like that are hard to find. And rumors about them spread quickly and last for a while.

God no lol. When I was in high school, the ‘popular kids’ always caused trouble, got into fights, and often times got suspended (some expelled). They always talked behind each other’s backs, then they’d go to their next class and talk to the people they were just sh*tting on. Some of them were genuinely nice people that I liked, but most of them were fake and caused drama just for fun.

I guess I used to. I used to imagine one of the ‘popular’ girls coming up to me and asking me to sit with them because they thought I was cool or something. Looking back on it I don’t know why I thought that.

Same. I honestly think I’m a nice person. Those girls are rude and stupid.
Why past me why?

The “popular” girls back in high school were so fake with each other. They were low key backstabbers too lmao. I would just observe them from afar.

I know

Nah. I’m okay with the amount of friends I have.

But yeah, sometimes I feel my confidence draining when I see one kid or a group of people that all the teachers know and all the people in the classroom love them, meanwhile I’m sitting in a table wishing people would laugh at my jokes and look at my with that love and respect. I used to be hated on so much in school. Whenever I entered the classroom, people would groan, chuckle, and roll their eyes, some kid even said "Great, she’s here… I had no friends, the friends I had turned out to be fake. I sat alone at lunch with my headphones and people would occasionally laugh at me. School sucked, but i am thankful in the school I am right now that I have friends by my side. You won’t believe me when I tell you the way I lit up when I felt that joy of sitting next to a bunch of friends who have the same interests as me for the first time!

Haha yeah they are! I was actually in one of those cliche fights where kids circle you! One of the reasons I learned Taekwondo

Cmon everybody! Every popular kid isn’t fake etc.!
In my school we have one group of popular girls and boys, Boys are just who they are but girls are the kindest in school!

And I am not saying that cause I am one of those most popular, It’s a fact .Everybody knows that in school.

I’m one of the popular people in school, but there are no psycho mean girls, lol. And NO, we don’t get ALL the boys! That’s kind of stupid tbh. No one wants ALL the attention. And there are girls who date unpopular/normal guys. Even me!
