Is Popularity That Big of a Deal?

Since the beginning of the Earth there has always been a thing called popularity. Merriam-Webster defines it as "A state of being liked, enjoyed, accepted, or done by a large number of people." There has been many examples of popularism since the beginning of Earth starting with Jesus, believe it or not he was a popular men, you can go anywhere and ask people if they know who Jesus is and they will probably know who he is. In my opinion the definition of popularity is someone that is liked by everyone and hated by everyone at the same time. Let's be honest, we all have that one girl in our grade that is the prettiest, the most athletic, and the girl that everyone knows about and that people try to be like. This "It" girls are actually the people that get most hate one, specially because everyone is jealous of.


Everyone wants to be the popular girl that everyone looks put to and the girl that every guy likes. I mean I would LOVE for people to look up to me and having everyone liked me, but TBH is not like that. We weren't all meant to "Fit in" to the standards of the "populars" Just like Doctor Sues said "Why fit in when you were born to stand out." Like guys seriously to fit in you don't have to meat everyones standard, you just have to be yourself.

Popular girls don't have it as easy as people think they do. When you're popular it's true that you have tons of friends, but at the same time not all of those "friends" are real. Most of the time people would just act like their friends with someone just so they can join the popular group. I have a friend that one day just came up to me and a group of friends and told us that she didn't care about anything, that the only thing she cared about was being popular. I literally took her to a side and told her that that was the stupidest thing she ever said and that she was wayyy better than, and then she understood that I was just saying that for her own good. After that happened she really did stop trying so hard and just started to be herself. She now is pretty popular and doesn't care that much about popularity, because she realized that if she got where she was, was because she just acted like herself.

Popularity really shouldn't be a big part of you life, because popularity does not give you good grades or give you a better future. This might sound cheesy (well, it probably is) but once you're out of high school what's left? You're popularity or your grades? Will popularity get you to a good college? Do you think that in your college transcripts there is gonna be a line telling the college that you were popular? Yeah, that's what I thought. Just because you're popular it does not guaranty a better future.

So guys you really shouldn't be that worry about popularity because you might have a small group friends and maybe you are the popular girl in your group of friends. At least you know that the friends you have are real friends and not fake ones. Well there was one thing that you get put of this blog, I really hope that is that you don't need to try to be someone else, you just have to be yourself. If people don't like who you truly are then they can just suck it up and deal with it, because you should never change for someone else. Guys this is all I have so I guess I'll see you later alligator ;)
