It was about a study about how students in high school who were popular usually end up with unintresting dead-end jobs and don't succeed as much in life as students who were not popular. In the artical it stated that some scientists found this to be so because popular kids always have things handed to them. People to carry their books for them, admire them, want to be them. So when they get into the real world where no one cares about popularity they were unprepared and soft unlike the unpopular kids who grew a tough defensive outer attitude which helps them succeed in life. What do you think about this? Is it right, wrong? Why?

There are so many kinds of popularity. I think you were stating about the beautiful, cheerleaders who think they are all that, and they ARE! People envy them, people want to BE them. But my mom, she was the nicest person in school (what happened now?), and she was voted most popular. And now she has a very nice job at a hospital!
here are some kinds of popular:
People who think they are popular, but they aren't
People who ARE pretty, cheerleader, major ego
Nice people, who are never mean or talk behind peoples backs,
and so many more!
