[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And do the same popular middle school kids stay popular in high school?

I have 12 (7th grade) and 14 (9th grade) year old boys.

My older son has a friend group consisting of smart athletic boys and he is in many academic extracurriculars. These boys are motivated and achievers. DS is an A+ student and always has been.

My younger son just started middle school and is not so interested in school. He currently has a mix of As, Bs and Cs. He seems much more interested in making new friends and hanging out with the cooler kids who seem more popular. In my opinion, these kids just seem like they do stupid things to gain attention.

What makes a kid popular?

Both kids have told me the popular kids go to parties and drink and do drugs. My high school kid doesn’t get invited to these parties (yet?). I’m glad he isn’t in that group. I do worry for my younger son because he seems much more interested in how social life than anything else.[/quote]

For girls, its if you are slutty and for boys it's if you are athletic.[/quote]

Wait if the girls are “slutty” who are they being “slutty” with if the boys are just innocent athletes?!? [/quote]

Exactly. Can we please STOP the dated "girls are sluts" sh---? If the girls are SO ARE THE BOYS. [/quote]

No we can’t stop it. Because there are girl sluts in middle school and there are girl slut wannabes.
[b]They wear too much makeup, they show too much skin, they don’t want good grades or grades better than the boys, they watch rated R movies, they’re on social media all the time. 
They’re also LOUD and in your face about it. [/b]

I wouldn’t call that popular, buts is a clear dynamic and displayed in several groups of girls. [/quote]

Literally NONE of this is relevant to the definition of "slut." You, on the other hand, are a dumba$$ ignorant shrew.

And you're sweet boys are the ones pitching a tent the minute a girl even looks their way. Saying inappropriate things to/about them (I've heard it). And pushing them to move too fast. Don't like those generalizations b/c your son isn't? Well I don't like the generalizations about girls, grannie. And if you said that to my face, you and I would be having a major situation.
