[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are not super popular (twin girls) but have a nice circle of good friends. Everyone likes them they are not at the high end of the social ladder but comfortably in the  middle which works for me. I do want to say however that it is not true that ALL popular kids are doing drugs, alcohol and having sex. The comment is just ridiculous and irresponsible.

My niece (same school) one year older is considered by most to be the most if not one of the most popular girls not only in her grade but the entire high school I know for certain she does not do drugs or have sex but will not say she does not drink when she is occasionally at a party. [b]So the implication is wrong. There seems to be a lot of angry bent out of shape people on this thread[/b].[/quote]

Or we're just generalizing from our own high school experiences.  The alpha crowd in my school was doing some serious drinking and many were doing drugs - I know, because I was occasionally invited along.  Further down the social hierarchy there was less drinking and better grades (but far from no drinking), until you got to the serious potheads.  I cal also tell you that only a single member of the "popular crowd" was in the top 25 students or so.[/quote]
