[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a definite sense of [b]hubris[/b] from parents who have popular kids. I dealt with this and it was painful beyond belief. However, now that they are young adults some of these popular kids are in drug and alcohol rehab, going through divorce or struggling to find jobs. My kids are relatively happy and productive. A couple friends have admitted to me that they felt smug about their "gifted" popular kids and are sorry about the way they acted. Doesn't make it easier now but just be a safe harbor for your child, try to have fun with him and assure him that teen years don't last. [/quote]

Oh good god, you are projecting just as much as the OP.  Most people are just living their own life, and worrying about their own problems.  I think you are pretty self-centered to imagine other parents lording over you because you perceive that their 11 year old is more popular.  The truth is, no one has time to give a crap about your 11 year old’s social standing because they have things that are important to them that they are worrying about.[/quote]

And to add, why does it matter to you if kids who were “popular” as 11 year olds grew up to have tough lives?  Does this make you feel good?  If so, you are a completely pathetic loser.[/quote]
