I'm ashamed to be growing up in this generation...?

Question

I'm a teen , but im getting really annoyed at something.

Most of the girls in my grade are snotty and rich and brag constantly.

They're tan and have bleach blonde hair and act like they are on the top of the world . And they're POPULAR?!

I'm tired of their looks like where they raise one eyebrow at you and look at you like your bottom of the ocean scum.

i dont get it?

well the question is..

Why do you have to be an immature snob to be popular?

Answer 1

About what the 'gigglez' girl said its not THAT ghetto here in maryland if you go to the right place...

And I get what you mean. They can be really s****..

Answer 2

uhhm the only reason they treat you bad is because you judge them and are rude to them as well. so don't expect people to be nice when you think all this about them.

honestly, i think the sad thing in our generation are the people who think they're trying stand up from the rest of everyone else, yet all they're doing is being s****. and judgemental. what they are really portraying is that they think they're better than those people.

reality check, there's been fake rich blondes for over 50 years now. won't do any good by complaining about it.

as for being popular? who determines that they're popular? you? just because they're well known and people talk c**p about them, they're considered popular. popularity is just about how many people know your name.

Answer 3

That hasn't changed in over 50 years.

Answer 4

Not at my school. But it matters what you define popular by, if it means to have a lot of friends, no you don't have to be like that. If it means to fit in with the people that are "popular", yeah, you might have to act a lot like them to be popular with them.

Answer 5

I'm more ashamed at the fact that girls in junior high are having s*x and having abortions.

s*x, and apparently life, means nothing anymore

Answer 6

I'm in the same situation as you. But you just have to deal with people you don't like and hopefully, they'll grow out of it.

Answer 7

This has always happened, always, it's not just with our generation.

Our generation has more media on it, that's all.

Those girls just think their popular. Wait till they're out of school, then the REAL fun begins :D

Answer 8

Barbie dolls have been around for many years.  Don't be jealous be yourself.

Answer 9

Move to Maryland its really ghetto there.

But those people annoy me too. I just wanna beat their fake blonde *** up =]]

Answer 10

I think those same idiots went to my school/s too.

The good news is that they grew up and married their HS sweethearts, became stay at home moms, watched "their shows" during the day, gained 75 lbs, lost it on a Jenny Craig Diet, squeezed out 3 or 4 kids, yo-yo'ed with their new fad diets and gained back all the weight lost PLUS some, their husbands left them for their admin assistants, and then had weird external facing issues (think: goiter) because they had internalized all their anger and came to realization at 35 that their life was just petty and meaningless and they didn't know what to do with themselves.

Whew.  I feel better.  I exaggerate (slightly) but I'm trying to paint the picture that the paradigm shifts as you leave all the school years behind you.  What kind of person will you be?

Answer 11

As far as I know it's been like this for a VERY long time. Nothing's changed except the people.  

Answer 12

Because previous generations have taught us that the "popular" ppl in HS dress in expensive cloths, have the perfect bodies and looks. Really, I think they are all sad inside.  Most of these "popular" kids in my HS have parents that are too busy to be apart of their lives.  Also, I have a feeling that their parents can't really afford to pay for these things.  All I can say is that HS will be over soon and in 10 years, these popular people will be nowhere in life.  You just have to be yourself and ignore them.  

Answer 13

I feel for you, it sounds like you got stuck in a bad school. I go to a small school so their aren't enough s****. girls to be a problem. The snobs we do have are really outcasts. Its not really the whole generation their have always and will always be jerks.  

Answer 14

Wow.  The headline of your question really makes you look like the snob my dear, sorry.  Just be who you want to be and let other people do what they think is cool.  =]

Answer 15

You don't. The thing is, "Popular" means that people know who you are, it doesn't mean that they like you. I learned this in college, you have to be who you are, and you will probably have more friends than they would. The "popular" people are the ones who think that everybody likes them, they throw the parties, and think they are cool, when in reality people are just afraid they are going to start some rumor about them, show up to their party so that they don't get dissed, and act sweet to them.

It's not about being liked that these people care about, it's about feeling like they are in charge.

Answer 16

beats me. just be whoever the h**l you want and everything will work out. seriously. you just have to know that the real gems (like, the quality people you wanna hang out with) aren't those snobs you're paying attention to. let them ruin they're highschool career. in the long run, you'll be more sucessful and happier.

Answer 17

It's very frustrating as a teenager, but the truth is that it matters less as you get older.  Of course, there will always be a few people who think that the most important thing is how they look, but my experience has been that in college people care a lot less about that sort of thing.  And in adulthood, character counts a lot more than looks.  I know that doesn't make the daily life you're living any easier, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel -- hang in there!

Answer 18

They ain't popular, if they were you would like them, they just think they are popular. Girls are like that everywhere and I'm sick of them too lol.  

Answer 19

I'm 15 and i agree. you have to be a total sheep and follow the crowd and why? just to be popular and have  'friends' that b**** behind your back. they are a bunch of dumb chavs (in England anyway Lil) with the brain the size of a pea and they are worshiped! every 'popular' person at school doesn't work,(ok i didn't do work but i didn't do it to be cool, i did it cuz it was boring) is nasty, rude and two faced. I'm unpopular and not liked much but I'm unique. ignore them and be yourself :) and in a few years time, they will probably be working in burger king with no life and you'll probably have a good job.

Answer 20

so thats why your ashamed to be growing up in this generation?

every generation is like that.

i thought you were gonna say something like how were dependent on oil and need to help people in our country who are starving and all the violence and drugs and stuff, but no, because theres s****. people, bravo.

Answer 21

lol its not really being a immature snob in my opinion,i just think thats their own personalities or who they would like to be.though i think they be better off  once they get their reality checks that the world doesn't revolve around them and everyone isn't superficial.

a teen too who chooses to ignore those and just enjoy my life

Answer 22

The first answer is right - it's been that way forever.  

But who says you have to be popular?  If you have friends who care for you and support you, it's not important to be at the top of the social order, ESPECIALLY in high school, because it will mean nothing even 5 years later.  Concentrate on being who you are and being a good friend to those who love you for yourself.  

Once you get out of high school, you will find that no one cares any more who was whom or who dated whom.  They will care about your character, your talents, your work ethic, and what you can contribute to your community.  Ignore the immature snobs.  You have better things to spend your energy on.  

Answer 23

i know how you feel. i'm ashamed too. they're all immature brats and actually think they're "Mature" cause they had horrible s*x with a jock in the back of his car.  i kinda feel bad for them. this is the prime of their lives

Answer 24

really. they just think they are popular.

but when all of you graduate they will have to face the real

world.

so in reality they are not popular. so just forget about them and dont

let them get under your skin.

it will just make them more powerful.

♥

Answer 25

Trust me, after school life changes and the "popular people" get a dose of real life.  

Answer 26

because daddy gets them whatever they want and guys only like them because the spread their legs  

Answer 27

lol the world will never know... but yeah, that stinks i know how you feel.

Answer 28

you have to be an immature snob to be popular because only immature snobs want to be REALLY popular

Answer 29

Just remember, high school is only temporary! But don't sell out to be popular, keep being yourself and stay true!
