Popularity is linked directly to your insecurity. If all you want is to be popular you will never be happy. Just be yourself and be confident. You'll get much farther that way. ]
The only reason they're popular is because people like you talk about them. *shrugs* That's the truth! When you're in high school (jr high?), the thing to do is comment on what other people are doing, whether it's your business or not. I do it, everyone my age does it- you claim you don't, but even if you don't talk abuot your own friends, you're talking about the "popular" people. The only thing that makes them "popular" is that people continually talk about them. ]
because they're souless, heartless demons of earth (I'd say Hell, but i don't want to offend Lucifer). That is why we must kill them. KILL THEM! AS THE EVIL RULER OF THE UNIVERSE, I COMMAND YOU TO KILL THEM! *ahem* Anyways, hate them, kill them, but they'll always annoy you. One day, Earth will not permit such scum to live on our unholy planet, but sadly, that day is not now. I feel your pain. (Of course, I'm in the freaks & geeks group, but that's really the funnest group! We're prolly one of the smartest people of the school.) ]
Its all about connections, confidence, and sometimes just having the right stuff. Like in my high school I was popular because I worked in Recording studios and I could get into any club at any age, or concert for free with backstage.
People don't just become peopluar you have to work at it, you know? Becoming popluar is something that isn't easy, and sometimes its annoying. You would be surprised how things are different, all the eyes are on you. It has to do with image like im sure you know there are various groups right? And within the groups are leaders, thats what makes you popular. You have to be fun, outgoing, you can't be boring or always want to do the right thing.
. Good at sports, smart or jut people get respected because people fear who they are so its best to do what they are told. They aren't special just people think they are, and trust me its not the best being popular.
When it comes down to it you need to have a personality.

Semi-popular always worked for me, if it means knowing a few people pretty well and having people know your name without being involved in the schoolyard intrigues.
I suspect it's a combination of priorities, aptitudes and dubm luck that gets one into one group or another. Popular kids live some part of the life everyone wants to live -- at my school it was sports, money, being pretty or a combination. They also tend to have very nice or very forceful personalities.
You can have a bunch of these assets, but not in the right combination, and you may be in the semi-popular group. Or you may have only some, and the stars were in the right place, or a butterfly flapped its wings in Canberra, and you wind up in the popular group.
You can encourage luck a little but that's basically what it comes down to. ]
there not REALLY great. ppl start OUT nice lots of times, then become popular, then lthey let that get to their head, and everyone is too afraid of them to do anything about it. *thank you for your time*~luckiedice~ ]
Popular Kids. Ha. The only reason they are popular is because of what they do.. they end up knowing everything somehow and its from talking about people behing their friends backs. they are snobby and they think they can get away with anything. If this is middle school.. they wont be so popular in high if high then forget them they are losers and the semi popular are better because they are true to their friends ]
Hm.....at my school, the "popular" kids are hicks that use the word "yenz" and smoke marijuana all of the time. I guess that makes them cool. I don't know? I'm glad I'm not popular. Because, you always here stories of how the popular girls were at a party and got wasted and licked each others twats. And then the guys, sit there and get wasted and are all like, "Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo. Nigga." And basically act like jack asses. *Note* The "thuggness" doesn't work for the boys here, although they think it does. You see, I'm from a rural part of Pennsylvania, and theres Amish people and farms everywhere. So, to sum it up, popular people are lame. And, I wouldn't worry so much about what makes people popular, just focus on being you. And you'll be a much happier person. ]
people are "popular" because other people want to be around then.. they usually have amazing personalities and are very very nice.. or they just have a lot of money! one of those... our school has the same thing.. preps, wanna bes, dorks, skaters, sevies.. the whole 9 yards... n e ways the "preps" or "popular" kids, dont consider themselves to be better that others just because ppl call them preps and stuff.. they dont even think that about themselves...

People arent popular because they talk behind eachothers back. They just know many people because they're really outgoing and friendly.
-shay :-) ]
They befriend everyone to up their reputation. ]
Why do they become popular? They know all, always know the right thing to do or say, are 100% confident of themselves, and they will sometimes even sacrifice the respect of others to improve their own 'status'.
Well the first 2 statements may not be true, but the last one is. ]
