[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one very popular kid. I don’t know if he is cool but he is smart, confident and athletic. He has a lot of friends.

I have one shy kid who is smart and athletic. He has one friend who is very good looking and seems to be popular with the girls.

Both kids aren’t “cool”. I’m not sure if they are the “cool” crowd or if that even exists in elementary.[/quote]

What’s the difference between cool and popular?[/quote]

IMHO, [b]popular [/b]is having lots of friends, being well-liked by everyone
[b]cool [/b]is having that thing where people want to be like you, are impressed by you, having the right particular (not necessarily large) friend group

In school, kids often say popular when they really mean cool. There are cool kids that are not very well known by the student body. They might be called popular, but they actually aren't; they are cool.

When I was in school, I was popular. My brother was cool. But he was "considered popular"

YMMV[/quote]
