[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to my daughter, the popular girls are mostly not nice.  I want my daughter to be well-like, but I also want her to be nice.

I was popular - and nice - but I don't think the popular part served me well.  I suffered from really bad self-esteem issues.  However, because I'm nice, I was able to recover and carry those nice qualities into adulthood.  It took me awhile, however, to to understand that my "nice" qualities mattered more than being popular.  [/quote]

I was popular and nice, too...but largely because I have a good sense of humor.  I think if you can make people laugh, you fit in with nearly everyone.

I agree that I would rather my child be nice than popular, HOWEVER, I don't necessarily consider them to be mutually exclusive.  TYPICALLY, the most popular kid is not necessarily the nicest, however the ones right underneath are often lovely.  So think captain of the football team (arrogant ass) but right underneath him could be lots of nice kids on the team.  BROAD generalization but usually true...
