What does it even mean to be popular anymore? Is being popular really how it is portrayed
in the movies? Are they the girls
wearing skirts and heels, not a hair out of place, always perfecting their
make-up, and are invited to every party or are they the girls who you could go
to for anything, who maintain perfect grades and know their true friends? Are
popular girls the ones who are the most physically beautiful or are the popular
girls the girls with the most beautiful personality?
Please girls, don’t try to satisfy the wrong “popular”
crowd, because negative peer-pressure may take you down the wrong path. I know many friends who started hanging out
with girls who I thought were “popular” and they have completely changed - they
don’t care about school as much, if they have to cheat on a math assignment,
it’s okay, they go to parties on the weekend, and just don’t make wise choices
like they used to.
Don’t get me wrong; there is nothing bad about changing
and growing, it is part of human nature!
Each year, we discover a little more about ourselves, our fashion sense,
who we want to hang out with, and what we want our priorities to be. Just ensure that during all of your growing
phases you’re staying true to yourself and make positive changes that ten years
from now you’ll be proud of!
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to
be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define
yourself.”
― Harvey Fierstein
“When you're different, sometimes you don't see the
millions of people who accept you for what you are. All you notice is the
person who doesn't.”
― Jodi Picoult, Change of Heart
