Popular is when someone is envied all around for being goodlooking and wearing cool clothes and driving cool cars and going cool places. And that person has people hanging all over them trying to be like them. As always.. a wise word form the wise one.
Wise One

Popularity means a small thing to some people(people as in secure,nice,smart people) but everything to other people(people as in stupid,shallow,backstabbing people) But others know about something other than popularity, they know about hope.....hope for the future, hope for today, hope for everyone who believes in hope

Everyone is popular in their own way, with their own friend, I guess. But when most people think of the word popular, the cool group come to mind first, probably because in the modern teen life, everyone wants to be one of them, they're very sought after. They make life look like one big party, and who wouldn't like a life like that? No responsibilities, no commitments, just fun. I think, that deep down everyone wants to be in the popular crowd, unless you're an exception to the rule, or just fooling yourself.

popularity is nothing. everyone who thinx they're popular only thinx that cuz they're self centered or bitchy. Nobody is popular! At all! In anyway! Everyone is different right? well saying people are popular is like saying everyone's the same, and that's like a terrible thing to say. Saying you're popular is like taking away your individuality.

Well, in one word, nobody!!! Everyone who thinks that they are popular, are only popular, because we think they are!!!!! It is all in there heads!!!!! If "we" weren't so scared to talk to the so called "popular" people, then "we" would be a better people!!!!!

Being the person with the most idiots to copy you is what makes you popular.

hmm...that's kinda hard to explain. To me, popular isn't being stuck up and rich. I mean, a lot of my friends aren't that RICH, and neither am I. Just because we walk down the halls wearing nice cloths and make-up, does that make us popular? Well, to some people it does. But really, being popular is just being yourself. I guess, if you're nice. But that's not what happens in reality. In real life, you have to be gorgeous, skinny, pretty, everything like that. If one person in the POPULAR group befriends you, then you're in. And if it's the 'leader' that likes you, everyone will. Sometimes people change to fit in with different people. That's just my opinion on the word POPULAR. (and not it's not just being FAMOUS, dumbass...) just commenting on the first comment made.

Popular=famous nothing more than that.

Popular... its kinda a hard word to define. When people first think of popular they think of the rude stucked up skinny blonde girls you see in movies. But i challenge this misconception of popular there are the type of "popular" people who wear a mask afraid of showing who they are... but then there are plently of nice popular people. But if you ask me i have wondered how do people become popular... any one could be it just depends on whos eyes your looking through. That way even if your prom queen and have the "hottest" guy of your school as your boyfriend, or something like that in someone else eyes you might (and i stress the word MIGHT not saying you are) be the biggest loser in school... but in the long run it wont matter.

I think the word "popular" is just a word that people use when they are "insecure" they need to feel like they are someone so they put someone down by saying that they arent "popular" its a word some who is "shallow" "self-concited" or "close minded" would use.it doesnt matter if you are "popular" its all about if you are a kind person!

There was a time when I would have said "popular" was a word synonomous with happy, lucky, or "everyone but me". But that was when I was young(and FAT) and had no chance of being the ever coveted POPULAR. But as I greew up and lost a considerable amount of weight I became !"popular", and soon realised it wasnt the glorious free ride through life I so ignorantly presumes, Popularity is a mindf killer, a little individuality death. There is so much competition involved so much superficiality, and when you are popular and have all the friends in the world, that is when you realise that it doesnt mean shi.t. Yeah its cool to be popular in high school and you feel your lifes problems would be solved if Johnny Jock or Ms. Cheerleader would only just say hello to you out loud in the halls but you gotta think that is only 4 years of your life. Popul;arity dies when you leave school, no one cares how cool you are then, as I soon realised. I mean I came from being fat and hated to being right in the cenrter of in the IN crowd , when I left school to go to college I fgured it would be smooth sailing, but where had my ever tenous popularity gone? Popularity isnt important in the real world, what is important is what you know and what your strenghts are. Being pretty or sporty or cool doesnt make you opular" in your 20's being smart does. Wyhen you are popular you probably hve like fifty aquaintences, but I found out that havin too many friends is worse than haveing none at all, what you need in friendship is quality not quantity. A few good frinds, even olne good friend is a blessing. Oh god amI rambling on again, forgive me for takiong up so much space here, I tend to go on and on when I belive in something.

this may sound really weird but a while back i looked up the word popular and it said"some one or some thing commonly liked"
haley

in my vocabulary popular is a curse word. I hate what it does to people and i hate how i believe it can take away from a person's confidance and/or self-esteem. i also think that popular means liked by people so the jackass, player, varsity football quarterback who thinks he's the shit doesn't count. what counts is how many good frienda you have or wheather you are well liked as the correct definision of the word. people tend to give it to the people who find themselves better than anyone else so when you say they're popular i feel its like saying ur less than they are and you are not. Status in popularity should not change a persons judgement on for example wheather to ask someone more popular than them out or not. Forget it if you want something popular is an obstacle go for it and forget the rest.

I'd say that "popular" is synonymous with "shallow," "insecure," "lacking sense of self," "ruled by a fear of rejection," "close-minded" (or "lacking the will to share your open mind for fear of mocking"), "lacking real personality," and so on. Adolescence is the struggle between being yourself and being accepted. Those who don't know who they are, need others to find a sense of self.

I would Define the word "popular" as compeletely just being a state of mind. It's how you view yourself and the ppl that surround you.

Being popular is about being confident.People feel that confidence and they kind of praise you for it.There are two ways of being popular:1)you can rule by making other people feel inferior to you(always backfires) 2)or you can be the good looking person next door that evryone likes and respects(not very many people are born this way and you can't really work on it)But what you really need to remember about popularity is that it's just one big illusion.Popular people are NOT better people they just have really good social skills.(wich is something you develop as you grow up but they are just born with this talent)So next time you feel bad about your social situation look ahead to the brighter futur that is ahead of you, everyone is good at something,find your thing and you will be apreciated for it.
