Okay, so I'm a perfectly normal girl - 18 years old, senior year in high school, 1.73 m tall, blonde hair, pretty slim. I like reading and writing stories myself and I'm actually planning on becoming a journalist or an author - anything to publish my stuff - some day.
Anyway.
Have you ever noticed a girl in your school or college being totally gorgeous, totally smart, totally well dressed, totally sweet, totally popular - and a total b*tch? Of course you have. The thing is, there is a girl like that in EVERY school - in every social group for that matter.
Why I'm asking you this? Well - you've probably watched "Mean Girls", that movie where Lindsay Lohan (I LOVE hating her with every fibre of my being) plays this completely innocent girl who moves to the USA from Africa and gets into this really popular girl clique. Head of it is Regina George, probably THE mean girl.
Or maybe you've seen "Gossip Girl". Does the name Blair Waldorf ring any bells? Just as mean as Regina, probably even more.
So my point is, why exactly is it that these girls get so popular? YES, they're pretty, YES, they're loaded and YES, they can be really charming. But they can also be total b*tches. So how do they do it?
I'm not wondering about this because I'm an insecure, unhappy individual that is looking for attention. It's just that for the yearbook, everybody in my year was supposed to write something about everybody else. Today we got the results - and you won't believe how rude some of these comments were (allegedly, I'm never wearing a bra).
So I couldn't help but wonder: What makes people popular? And, more importantly, why is it that so many people who do have the premises do actually be popular aren't? Is there some formula which you can apply to get popular? I have to find out, cause this is really bugging me.
So what I'm going to do is this: I'm starting university in about eight months and I'm going to try to get popular. I'm going to do all the things that Regina and Blair do - minus being b*tchy of course. But I'll need help!! So I'm counting on you - how do you become a queen bee?!

Laurie,being popular is not the most important thing in the world. It may be at your age, but trust me, just be "who" you are, live life, and see what happens. There is no secret formula for being popular. For if you try,try,try, and don't succeed, you will only set yourself up for failure. NEVER "expect" anything out of life., for that also is setting yourself up for failure. You are young, I know, and popularity is important to kids your age, but not as important as just being yourself,and seeing where life takes you. Your peers will accept you for "who" you are, not "who" you want to be. I certainly don't want to burst your bubble, but as I mentioned earlier, live life, and see where it takes you. BE YOURSELF and Love yourself, for once that is accomplished, the world is yours for the taking. Concentrate on your education, and live in the moment.
AntwortenLöschenHey,
AntwortenLöschenI just wanted to get back to you about the whole "popular" thing. I'm afraid you got me wrong. I know very well that being popular really isn't anything you should strive for (I never have, actually, I've always been concentrating on being an outstanding pupil, a good friend etc.). But I knew this would be a little confusing - I'm just wondering WHY people who really aren't nice become popular. So I just wanted to figure out how it works by trying myself.
Thanks though for your nice comment!!
