<p>mollie: If I got invited to a party now in high school, I wouldn’t go, unless it was made up of mostly my friends and other people I kind of know (i.e. a non-popular party).</p>

Well maybe my school is just bizarre, but there are literally zero popular kids at my school with 4.0 or higher. Everyone with grades like that tends to be shy and unpopular, yet still have a good (albeit small) group of equally unpopular friends.</p>
