[quote=Anonymous]I think it probably depends on the school and the friends. When I was in middle school, being smart made you a nerd, being overweight made you a fatty loser, and the popular kids were the ones who were the tallest and played basketball. My son is in middle school in FCPS and has lots of friends. I was quizzing him pretty intensely about bullying, popular kids, cliques, etc. He claims there are not really popular and unpopular kids as a rule. People coast around and become friends with people that happen to be in their classes, and then sit together at lunch. He said that if he was asked to pick out "the popular kids" that he would not be able to do so, other than one specific girl who tries to be a diva. Although, he does say the NPCs are kids who aren't very smart. Which is a dramatic reversal from when I was in school[/quote]
