Question

Do u think popualrity in school matters?

Answer 1

Obviously not since this is the Home School section. After graduation it doesn't matter any way.

Answer 2

It matters, but only in a negative way. Being popular brings out all the worst in people: superficial values, mean-spiritedness, and acting out of fear and insecurity rather than building positive  traits that you can be proud of without worrying about what the overconformers think. Try to find one or two good friends instead.

Answer 3

It only matters if you allow it to.  Your high school experience should be fun and carefree.  Don't stress over it if your not part of the "IN" crowd. Create your own memories, don't allow others to do that for you.  Be an example for those that aren't part of the "Popular Crowd" it will be a great time in your life, but you need to be the one making the choices. Be the Leader NOT a follower.  Take it from me being part of the popular groups it's all its cracked up to be.   Good Luck!

Answer 4

No. After high school, you'll never see those people again. What matters is that you have a few good friends and you're nice to everyone.

Answer 5

Not to most people. There are some pathetic few who will grow into their old age reminiscing about four years of their young life. But for many, what happens in college and married life is far more of a reward than that. Growing their career and raising children is a greater bonus.

As people see more of the world, and grow to like themselves, what others think of them is not as important as it used to be.

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

No.  Once you graduate from high school you'll never see or hear from those people again.  Popularity in high school has no long term benefit.

Answer 8

Nope. People think it does and get all hung up on it when they're in school, but it really doesn't matter. Sure, those who are completely rejected will likely have some psychological issues to deal with, and in that sense it matters--although some of those are able to hold their head high and not have it matter--but in terms of "being popular", no, doesn't matter.

Answer 9

hello noo it doesn't matter longest you have true friends becuase being populer brings drama and fights and not good some gurls would hate you be who you are. thats what really matters.

Answer 10

No, when you are in school you make think so but once you are out of school and everyone moves away and grows up it really doesnt matter who was in what click.

Answer 11

Nope, not a bit.  After graduation, all of the social structure of high school - the cliques, the popularity, the geekdom - falls away.  None of that matters one little bit out in the "real world".

Answer 12

No, it is such a small portion of your life. I had a few very close friends in high school but was acquainted with many. Having good friends is far more important than having many friends.

When you step out in the real world no one cares how popular you were in school.

Answer 13

It only matters if the person seeking to be "popular" has a need to be.

In the long run, and especially in the "real world", looks, and popularity does little, or nothing for you unless you plan on being a model, TV, or movie star.....

When hiring people we look at do they possess basic skills, ability and willingness to learn, are they a team player, ones leadership ability, creativity, and what can they bring to the table that would be of value to the company/office.

There is no block on the application to let me know if they were prom queen, or king, how many friends they had/have, or parties they were invited too, if they were liked, had the latest clothing, hairstyle, or gadget, or car.

I also do not want to see such information inserted anywhere on a resume.

It does NOT matter, and the sooner young people realize this the more they will be spared the disappointment of having wasted their time on all this empty superficial nonsense before going out into society/workplace where you will be graded on your merits, not your high school/college popularity level.

Answer 14

Popularity only matters to those who are popular.
