Popularity - a change in status between middle school and high school?

<p>

Are you kidding me? </p>

<p>This is ridiculous, sad, and understandable. Posts like these always surface with the upcoming new year. Time and time again people says being popular makes you happier and yada yada yada. People will realize eventually. </p>

<p>OP, if by popular you mean well liked and sociable, then yes, by all means become “popular”. If by popular you mean hanging out with the “most talked about people”/“most liked people”/“people who are the best in ___” then good luck to you because you’re selling yourself out. People are going to notice and they’re not going to like what they see. There’s nothing more painful than watching someone try too hard.</p>

Who goes around telling people they are popular?</p>
