[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my wise German mother told me about popular girls vs. not so popular girls this way- there are many many varieties of flowers, all are beautiful. Some are fussy, fragile, high  maintenance and multi layered,(peonies aka the popular girls) others are strong, sturdy and simple the daisy (the less popular girls). All need love water and attention to grow and thrive.

Water your daisy and shower her with love. She will blossom into the young adult she is destined to become. I assure you.[/quote]

I love this and will share it with my daughter. I was not a popular girl but was well liked and had a small group of friends, we were all band geeks. My D however 14, is not only very popular but is obsessed with her "status:" as being so. I am totally at a loss in this world and its probably better because I do not get very involved in her daily drama with her friends and boys, etc.....phone doesn't ring often because I find kids don't use the phone anymore, they love to text and all plans are done via texting and other social mediums. Its a strange world. Somehow my husband and I made exceptionally great looking kids, neither of us are that great looking for don't ask, our kids look like models, Everyone tells us this, you can sometimes see people looking at us then them wondering where they got their looks (sometimes I do too haha). As long as this popularity thing does not interfere with her performance in school and her generally happy state of mind I am OK with it. [/quote]
