Popular Kids...(read on)?

Question

at our school there are these popular kids ; (in no way am i at all trying to be like them i had distanced myself from them in the 5th grade) anyway their all somewhat air heads and cannot keep their feet on the ground if you know what I mean. I tried to ask one of "them" for a pencil she refused to even look at me. They are so caught up in their teenage drinking, abrocrimbie and fitch, and social lives they have all seperated themselves from everyone else. Is their a reason these kids seem to be too good for me and my crowd? we can't even seem to make eye contact or let alone can one of our schools elite look at me. Why?

Answer 1

these kids are maybe molding themselves to the societies version of the perfect person...beautiful, social, and completely separate from those who are "different"....they may have had friends who convinced them that they don't need to associate with those who aren't like them....society has gone a great deal of distance to make sure that its people are perfect...these kids are just trying to live up to that and those that aren't like them or what they think they should be like...it's sad but true, people will do anything to be what society makes them....

Answer 2

they have grown to believe that they are more important than anyone else. They find themselves really attrative and anyone else not as popular as them just is not good enough

Answer 3

just do what me and my friends did to kids like that at our school...beat the living **** outta them until they learn there lesson.

Answer 4

'V (12-18 or so) --

adolescence ego-identity vs role-confusion peer groups, role models to be oneself, to share oneself fidelity, loyalty fanaticism -- repudiation

VI (the 20’s) --

young adult intimacy vs isolation partners, friends to lose and find oneself in a another love promiscuity -- exclusivity '

Perhaps they do not trust you.

Answer 5

It makes them feel good to think thier important.  I wouldnt go by the answers some of these other people gave.  If they dont talk to you then thats thier problem, theres always going to be people like that.  If they dont bother you and you dont bother them then everythings fine.

Answer 6

bc they are stuck up fagets that are bored and sad with their own pathetic lives.

Answer 7

Those kids grew up to accept those who are like themselves and everyone who they think they have nothing in common with, is out of the question. They don't like change.

My school is a little different because although we have cliches, everyone's willing to talk to everyone until there's a real reason not to. However, I just know that's most of why the "popular" kids are the way they are.

But listen. No matter how much they think they are better than you, they aren't. Because who are they to determine what the word better even means? You are you and they are them. The only thing that would make them better than you is you thinking that, and I get the impression you dont by the way you talk about them.

Don't worry about them, kid. You're better than that. :)

Answer 8

Wait for about 20 years to go by.  You'll be successful and powerful.  People will respect you.  The popular kids will wonder where their life got so f***ed up.

Answer 9

idk but they will grow up to be POOR PATHETIC LOSERS working at McDonalds because they dont know anything and wont go to college or at least not a good one. trust me, i know these things.

Answer 10

Honestly, this is the type of answer my mom would give me, but really, i think its true. They are probably afraid. Too scared of facing the world on their own, and they go farther than just getting good friends: they become a carbon copy of someone who they think is brave. Once they aren't scared anymore, they're too far in to know that they are worse off than they were. They probably think there is safety in numbers, and that their 'friends' are the only ones who deserve their time.

Just let them be, is my advice. They are happy the way they are, and if they aren't, they have to break away on their own. You know how these people are, and that makes you just as good, and probably even better than them.
