What were the popular people at your school like?

[hrugner]

No, I didn't live in a sitcom.

From what I could tell, being popular at my schools usually meant you drank at parties (especially in secondary school). DOn't really know - I hated pretty much everyone, so I didn't care to learn about anyone's personal life.

[melodramocracy]

Complete assholes.

[Rudkobing]

They were people like anybody else.

Only 2-3 come to my mind, what made them popular was being the funniest. My school was a dual-enrollment program so the sizes were not large. Like 30ish students for each grade give or take.

I'm 25...and mostly people of my age behave the same way did they did in highschool. Most of them are still studying though. So bratty, carefree and thinking they own the world.

It's interesting how people literally change completely the moment they need to work for money.

Were they mean and snobby? Were any of them football players, cheerleaders, or volleyball players? Were any of them successful? Did they hung out at the Mall? Were they happy?

I grew up in a town so pretty much it was your average EU country highschool...you went to school, spend your time with close friends after school and went to a party once every 1-4 weeks depending on how socially active you were.

I dont think my school had popular kids.

Neither did mine. I mean, there were some, but they weren't the prototypical snobby types who were too concerned with themselves to give you the time of day (as Hollywood likes to portray them.) They were just students that everyone liked.

Football players. Though most of them we're nice guys despite being the schools pets. Most of the bully's from our school were actually unpopular and troublemakers.

Went to a private high school in my small town. My class had all of 35 people in it, and everyone pretty much got along. Some people might have been slightly more popular due to sports, I guess, but our teams pretty much all sucked so there wasn't much prestige to it.

Mean people did not get to be popular at the school. In fact, we mostly all got along, just some people were the centre of attention - not so much for specific achievement, more for being "the life of the party" type of guys. Having said that, students with academic or sporting excellence both got their share of respect. No one hung out at the mall, because there wasn't one in town. I believe most of us were quite happy at the time. As for success, one of the popular guys is in Parliament now.

I was always one of the popular people. I mostly played football (soccer). I acted nice, I mean most of the popular people at my schools were very nice. Who wants to hang out with mean people?

I don't really remember that much of actual school, I had my group of friends who were into music, skateboarding, mountain biking etc and there were no real "popular" people in my year, just people doing their thing. One of my buddies a year younger could maybe be considered one of the "popular" kids, playing on the school rugby team and being admired by all the females. I became friends with him when we were about 16 because he played drums and I played guitar, girls even to this day look at him like he's some movie star because he's tall and lays on the charm.

Thing is with me popularity did happen at the end of or just after school, I got in a band when I was around 17-18 and became really popular with the kids immediately 2-3 years younger who were following our band around. So I had no sense of popularity among my direct peers, but then being admired by 15-16 year olds and people of that generation for a few years while my band was popular, still to this day I have guys who were kids back then telling me about how I was their guitaring inspiration.. But that's not the same as being popular with people directly in school with you, class to class.. So honestly I dunno.

This is them.

Back in the day in Russia we didn't have popular kids, we only had kids whom other people, even teachers, were afraid of. Each grade had special `E` class, it consisted of kids w/ either mental issues or kids who already were in either juvies or proper prisons.

So one could say that these kids were "popular"

members of the chess club where most popular but nobody was talking to us

They were just starstruck.

We actually didn't even have popular people/groups in "high school" were I went. Also no loserg roups that would sit apart from the rest.
We also didn't have anyone that dressed alternative or like any trend a confused teen would sometimes do so in other schools. People were all pretty much... normal?

This was a Montessori school btw. which is a completely different world than most schools offer.

[Dalheim]

Not a clue. I always kept to myself and sat in my own class room all the time. :P Didnt really care who was popular and dont even know if anyone even was.

[cuafpr]

southern school, football players and cheerleader were def. the popular kids. Most were civil but there were social classes that didn't mix much if at all. I find it ironic that i ran into the head cheerleader and imo the hottest girl in my HS class at my church, and she joked about being a closet nerd in HS with regards to her grades and studying.

[Ryme]

Was typically the confident people, about 50% were shitty people the other 50% were basically fine if a little socially confined.
