[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Encourage your child to be comfortable in her own skin without trying to be “popular”. Let her pursue her own hobbies and interests without caring about what other kids are doing. The truly cool kids don’t give a flip about popularity. It just happens. [b]Everyone avoids the kids who try too hard to be popular and who care too much about social status. [/b][/quote] I actually don't think this is true in a middle school or high school setting. Maybe it is in urban high schools where conventional ideas of popularity really don't apply. But in a standard middle school/high school setting, popularity is very much achieved by people who care about social status. (I agree that it's gross, but that's the way it seems to be)[/quote] Hmmmmm....define what you mean by "standard middle/high school"? What do you mean by "urban"?[/quote]
