Survivng High School : Popularity

              Some people may think being the ''popular'' girl in the school is the easiest thing in life, well it's not and usually never is. So many people in high school expect you to be the most perfect angel that gets all A's, but really that's not the case. Judment is all over the school in the first place but as soon as someone hears some ''rumor'' about you it's all over the school within five minutes time. All this drama gets really old, being the popular isn't the life everyone wants.

              Being in sports and being talkitive is the main reason girls and boys now are popular. The populars look like they may not have things going on at home or maybe feeling down because of all the things people say about them, but that's not always the case. I first hand know how that feels, my parents have been divorced since I was six months old and my parents fight every single time they talk either on the phone or in person. The rumors I hear about myself sometimes make me chuckle because I know no way that people would believe something that ridiculous, but sometimes rumors get way out of hand. Rumors reach teachers or the principle and then soon get to your parents, then trouble comes at home along with mom and dad fighting.

              I know there are popular girls and boys that are jerks but instead of just assuming that's all there is to them think before you speak about why they might be jerks to you, maybe it's a way to get through things at home. Popularity seems like the life to a lot of people at school but when you here about the things that are said to you, it's not always easy to just brush it off. Words speak louder than anything, so before saying something about someone who is popular at your school or starting a rumor, think about how it would affect them and not just because you want some attention.

              Life as the popular girl has it's moments, it's fun to be able to have a great time with all the friends you have and goof off at school, but when you get down to the details there isn't always a bright side to popularity. School is easy as the popular girl, you get along with everyone, but please think before you speak about someone.
