[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol you are going to get very distorted answers here. Waiting for this response:

Well my child wields social power to exclude others and in doing so inspires a little bit of fear and admiration from peers. She’s quick to penalize anyone who isn’t loyal so they learn quick. Having money and being white with blonde hair helps. [/quote]

I don't really think such kids are all that popular. It's more than they are powerful, which is not insignificant but it is different. There are always many kids (excluded ones but also others) who do not like those queen bees. [/quote]

Agree.  In our close in suburb, the Queen Bee is looked at with disdain, but people "smile to her face" (figuratively, of course) to keep off her radar.  No one wants to be QB, and no one wants to be known to associate with QB, because she is very much stuck in high school (same neighborhood as where she grew up, sadly).

The popular people are nice to everyone, genuine, even keeled and somewhat charismatic - they do their own thing. They don't fall for the QB schtick (see above, which nailed it), and they don't get sucked into the QB's drama.

The popular kids in school were always nice to everyone, and looks didn't hurt. Not vanity, but appealing and pleasant looking. (The vain ones tend to fall into the QB category).
