[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dc is quirky and a little dorky and never gets invited or included by kids at school despite hosting endless playdates and parties. I’ve always wondered though, do the parents of the popular kids ever have to suffer? They seem to reap benefit after benefit. Endless invitations, sycophants kissing up to get in their inner circles, preferential treatment at the school and sports, the list goes on. Honest question- what are their grievances? [/quote] You realize popular nowadays often really means "fast." It is not necessarily a good thing. [/quote] +1 I would definitely worry if my kid was "popular" in the high school sense. To me that equals too much risky behavior, exposure to drugs and alcohol, etc. Neither of my kids is "popular" in that way but both have a good circle of friends with a couple "best" friends. I definitely have my worries about them but they are more about learning disabilities, anxiety.[/quote]
