Popular is so many diffrent things for so many different people. At my school, the 'popular' kids wear the coolest clothes (wich means the most expensive, brand-name stuff) and are mostly cheerleaders. They are all cute, outgoing, and seem so perfect. But everyone is always talking about them, and every detail of their lives is discussed around school. I would hate to be one of them.

i think the meaning of being popular is that you are always around people who go everywhere, do everything, and say everything that is possible. most popular kids at my school get all steamed up and it ruins there day if something like: they have a bad hair day or something. i go to beverly hills high and it is hard to be popular but not to brag i am one of the most popular girls in the school. yea ive gone out with most of all the cute guys and talked in most clubs and do most sports. i dont think im a better person than any other person so, please giv'em alittle credit because the popular kids work hard for their reputation.

Being popular really is superficial. The reason so many people desire to be in that desire to be in a "popular" person's position. Popular, weither or not you like it, is when you are desired, loved by everyone, good looking, nice, trendy, athletic, smart, and basically just an all around person. A popular person is someone whom everyone knows, and someone everyone is friends with. Generally, the popular people are really nice, but still have their flaws. The parties we all go to, and what they do. It's not something your chosen to do, it just happens, and there really is no way in or out!

Being popular is being a good friend and having not fashion and style being a spectacular personality. I happen to have been popular in 2nd grade, the top of class, for being smart and helpful. Being "cool" is NOT, repeat NOT important AT ALL!

Being popular to me has nothing to do with the kind of clothes you wear, the parties you go to, what you look like, what you like to do, or the number of friends you have. To me, popularity is defined by the number of true friends one has. If you have many friends who you can truly count on and rely on during difficult times, and who will always be there for you, you are considered not only popular but also extremely blessed in my book.

Popularity is the result of alot of people knowing and enjoying your company. Most popular people become popular by becoming involved in clubs, sports, and group activities which help them to get to know alot of people. If you are popular, you are highly thought of because your personality and reputation is widely known and accepted. To become popular, be yourself. Be outgoing. Get involved. But popularity is a result of being friendly and outgoing, not who you are around or what you wear.

Popularity: I had a talk with the so called "dorks" in my chemistry class. We discussed popularity and what it means. They said that i'm am considered one of the more popular people in our school. But i told them no i think you are the more popular people. Because yeah i may be part of the good looking party crowd everyone wants to be in, but they can respect themselves. And that means more than amount of beauty and fun. Respecting yourself is popularity. Who cares how many friends you have and who can slug back the most beers. And if that is what popularity really is then i dont want to be "popular".

Popular..... I don't care for "popularity" and it drives me nuts. How can some "group" or "clique" be "cooler" than another? I mean, everyone's equal. At my school, the so-called popular group is full of rather rude, cheating, girls who feel better than others and wear the "latest" clothes. I don't think there is a definition to popular. I think popularity is a waste of time and I wish there was no such thing! :)

Being popular is believing in yourself.

I think being popular mean to always have friends to talk to. Never having a day just sitting home. You are always invited to Party's and you alway's have a date for the weekend. All the people at school like you. You always have someone to talk to and you know somone in every class. You always have the nice designer clothes and you always look good. And you are very out going like your either on drill team or dance or your a cheerleader I think that is what popular is all about.

I don't know how to define popularity, but in my school the "popular" people are the ones who are good-looking, athletic, and make pretty good grades. And, ususally, have lots of money. I don't care much for popularity, there's more to life than being liked by these people I pray I'll never be like, and when I'm out of highschool no one is going to care what "group" I managed to fit in with or what my social status was. I think popularity is SO overrated, and people need to get over it. All I want is to be respected, and the "popular" people in my class aren't at all respected because of the way they act towards people, so why should we all pretend to like them? I don't, and I don't understand how others can. It's pretty disgusting how two-faced people can be.

i have no idea what popular is... all through high school i struggled to just be me. I didn't dress wierd- but just the way i wanted to. I never put much effort into having the coolest clothes, hottest friends or all the fads at the time and i found that none of that mattered in who my friends were. I was friends with people from all different "cliques" and it had nothing to do with what i wore, how i spoke or who my other friends were. they were my friends because of the way i treated them and the way I cared. i never considered myself being even remotely 'popular" in highschool- but in 6 years when i go to my reunion- who is going to be concerned with who was popular in highschool- everyone will concerned with who did what with their lives.

bbchick,you don't define popular,you define a perception of what it means to be a 'good' person.popularity isnt necessarily defined within the constraints of the goodness of the individual.Popularity is easily formed by abiding to a certian way,being in the right cliques,saying the right things.It all depends on who you want to be popular -with-.

Popular-this means sharing a good laugh with your best buddies, hanging out at the mall with your little brother, going to a retirement home and cheering them up, babysitting kindergardners, going to church as much as you can, meeting different people. Popular means being a friend to all ages. No matter what age you are, you are nice to people older than you, younger than you and the same age. This way, you have a wide point of view on other people's lives, not just the people in your age group!
