or someone who has a large group of friends?
(somone who hangs out with like 15 friends)

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
i think both, btu usually ones who have lots of friends and could easily say hi to at least half the people in the hallway at your school.

Honestly i dont think either of your "definitions" are correct in my view. Because i know tons of people and people know me. but im not popular.
At my school theres many popular girls. I think most of the popular people are more snobby and that causes lots of people not to like them. Usually popular people only hang out with popular people which cause s a group of snobby people to form so thats my deff. of popular people.
Im not pointing this too everyone just most.
im not a loner so dont think im saying this cause no one likes me hah. sorry

It is so easy to stereo type people without getting to know them. Someone who is popular does not have to be rich, snobby, mean, dress good and so on. Being popular means that you have many friends and getting along with a lot of people. If everyone knows you, that's good but hopefully it would be for the right reason. A lot of people stero type me because of the clothes I wear and the people that I hang out with. I get called a bitch, stuck up but those people don't know me. They say that because I wear Hollister and such. Clothes are clothes. They do not make you who you are. It's a style and people need to get it through their heads. Many girls at my school that never wore Hollister, A & F just started because they want to fit it. That's not the way to make friends and that will not make you popular. I guess popularity also has to do with your looks and ecpecilly your personality. Your personality makes you who you are. At every school there are groups and labels. There is always the "popular" type of people. Most of them are bitchy and they think they are popular because they're pretty and hott. A lot of people actually think that & it's really not true. Again, my opinion on popularity is if you're freinds with everyone and just being nice. Sure they might have their own group but it doesn't mean they shouldn't make new friends.

I would have to say that neither of your answers are true. Popularity isn't defined by having a lot of friends, by who knows you, good looks, or by personality. You have to think about it from the other direction. Anyone can have one or more of these traits and not be popular. I believe that someone who is popular is someone who others want to be just like, for the purpose of social advancement. There can be other reasons, but that one must exist, and it must exist for the majority of the people around them. I grew up in a very small school, and the popular kids only had 3 or 4 friends and were generally hated by everyone else. How could they possibly be popular then? Everyone wanted to be like them. They had particular traits that other people wanted to have themselves. It's different in different environments because in each environment, different traits are desireable. If I had to pick one of your two choices I would say the first one, but, again, I don't agree with it completely. I hope I helped you and good luck with your project. :)

I don't know why everyone thinks popular girls are snobs. I'd say I'm pretty popular(not to sound..conceided or anything). I'm actually really nice. I talk to the "losers" or "nerds" or whatever you want to call them. I have so many people know my name is unreal ! I wear Hollister & Abercrombie & all that preppy stuff, but clothes doesn't "make" the person. But mostly, some people are better off NOT being popular. Being popular has it's bad side. People who aren't popular; think the worse of you, people who are supposibly your friends ; backstabb you, & sometimes getting all the guys isn't really great, because they can hurt you..easily.
For me, I think it's both. Having someone know your name, can get your name passed on veryy quickley. And if people see you with 15 friends or more, then they automatically think "Oh wow she must be really popular."

To me, Stereotypical girls are the tall tan blondes, with a perfect body shape and the girl who has ALL the guys drooling over her. The stereotypical guy to me is the one who is on the football team, who has girls left and right...who has never said no. But these type of people are rich snobs. The REAL type of people who SHOULD be popular are the smart ones, the nice ones, and so on. Do they realy need abercrombie or hollister clothes to be popular? Yah know? Hope i helped...I think thats what you mean?

i think being popular
is someone who has a lot of friends
because people knowing you doesn't mean they like you
it just means they know you
but having a lot of friends is having popularity
