ACartee answered Saturday September 3 2005, 5:13 pm: There is DEF. nothing wrong with being popular. I think what you are referring to in your question is a "prep". People are so steriotypical in high school it's unreal. If you are popular on the other hand that's great. That is, if you are popular for the right reasons. If you are mean to people and stuck up then you are probably popular with the thugs and bullies. If you are popular because you are known for being nice and kind and have alot of friends because of this then that's great. Being popular just means you have alot of friends. In high school being referred to as a "prep" isn't such a good thing and it's when you think you are better than everyone. I hope I explained this well enough for ya. =] Hope you get everything worked out and just remember, stay true to yourself and be who YOU want to be, not what everyone else wants.

X0C0URT answered Friday September 2 2005, 3:56 pm: It's funny because there are millions of girls out there who would love to be in your position. The only way to avoid popularity is to not take part in it. If you hear rumors going around, don't spread them. If a bunch of the "popular" kids are getting together to hang out and you'd rather not hang out with them, don't. Stick with the friends who truly care about you and just ignore people whenever they talk about being popular.

iiLOVEyoux0o answered Friday September 2 2005, 3:26 am: Dear Asker,
I have the same exact problem..I want to have the friends I have..and some of the friends I have are well, popular..I mean I never really minded being friends with them..but one day my friend told me I was popular..I wasn't sure how to react because I never really thought of myself as popular, and the rumors everywhere say that popular people are jerks, and airheads. I actually asked for my aunts advise on this; this is what she told me:" As long as your not what the "rumors" say popularity is (jerks, "all that", airheaded, conceited, etc..) then you are fine, don't worry about that" That is the same advise I'm giving you. As long as you know your not "think your all that" material..you dont need to worry about becoming unpopular. And if you are nice and popular the rumors will be good.
Igotamonopoly answered Friday September 2 2005, 12:03 am: Wow. It's really sad that American teens have thi misconception of popularity. Among my class (freshmen), I would definitely say that I am popular, but there aren't usually rumors about me, and I have soooo many friends. I can walk up to so many people and just sit down and talk or eat lunch or whatever. Just don't do anything to attract attention, and you can become unpopular.erosnally, I love people knowing my name. [ Igotamonopoly's advice column | Ask Igotamonopoly A Question ]
FireFairy141 answered Thursday September 1 2005, 11:08 pm: ...Um, well, thats an odd quistion, but i'll try to help. You could have a total change. Like just go all emo or something, or make new friends, and ditch the old ones. That would make you un-popular. But its really not that bad to be popular. If people want to talk about you let them. That just means their not happy with who they are.
ChOcOLoLo answered Thursday September 1 2005, 10:55 pm: hey there! what's wrong with being popular? there isn't anything bad to it....by being popular, you can also benefit by being friendly with everyone, regardless of being popular or not. a lot of people do think that popular people are up in the sky somewhere, but you can reverse that sterotype into showing that you can hang out and befriend with all kinds of people. its not that you are popular, but what you do with your popularity that counts. so, personally i think that you should be glad that you are a well known person, because you are known for your talents,but most importantly your personality.

Mercy_x_Me answered Thursday September 1 2005, 10:24 pm: It's not horrible! Just steer clear of the drama. The only way to not be "popular" is tell people to stop calling you that. Because popular is only what people make it... a word people thoroughly enjoy bouncing around. Tell them you just don't like the label. You might just be really friendly and people like that!

dntletitgo2urhead answered Thursday September 1 2005, 10:17 pm: Don't label yourself first of all. If you want to be "normal" with your friends, then be normal. I used to think this "popular" girl was a real snob, and I didn't like her at all. I'm kind of a geeky kid in my school XD..but anyways. Me and this girl, we went to the same summer camp this year. We became really good friends, and I saw things from her point of view. She told me she didn't like being the "cool" kid, cause everyone in our school thought she was a snob because of random rumors and stuff. So my suggestion would be, get to know a geek if you're a "cool" kid. Cause once people see you're not really as snobby as your reputation is or whatever, you'll be happier. Cause my friend is happier now that she doesn't hang with the "cool" crew anymore and started to hang with me and my friends and other kids. Hope I could help you! =)
t0xicParadiSe answered Thursday September 1 2005, 10:14 pm: it really bothers me how just because your "popular" or your in another group people just tend to judge you alot without getting to know you they just "label"
if your really smart
people tend to think that your a geek or a nerd
people spread rumors about every one its just jealousy and shows they have nothing better to do with their lives
ignore the rumors and keep your head up high
think of it in this way
your one of the many people that other people get jealous of act like you dont care because you really shouldnt
you should worry about you character not your reputation because your character is who you truely are and your reputation is what people think you are without getting to know you first
