I've always dreamd about being popular in my life. Well, atleast I've achieved that at some point in my life. How about you? Can you consider yourself popular? How can a person be popular?

I was popular in high school being a cheerleader etc. And I can't say it helped me acheive anything important like promotions...LOL I think being popular ends with high school. From then on you should base your friendships etc on real ideas.

Maybe or maybe not. Recognized.....celebrity...still doesn't make you popular. Popular is when you are surrounded with people who admire you....like you and want to spend time with you. Celebrities are surrounded by fans.......not necessarily friends.

Well, maybe it really depends on the situation. There still other celebrities that I get contact with in college. They are really surrounded by their friends whom they could act silly with and full around with. It's like advantage for them, coz it's a lot easier to have friends if they already know who you are. But if you have mean personality, then I do think celebrities would be losing people valuable around them! ~_^

WOW, tah't intersting for you to say. Yup, I think I'll agree with that. But to some extent, there are other person out there who'll dare to be famous by their own means (like talent for example). I think that If a person really has something to serve onto the table, then they can never be just another person hanging around in campus. For they would also be noticed no matter what. Plus, I think being a celebrity is also a thing to be popular not just in HS. hahaha ~_^

I was the captain of the soft ball team in junior high, and everyone in my PE class put money together and got me a pair of Levi's jeans. But, soon after that, I started getting sick, and have never been popular again after that. I guess that being sick is not the way to be popular.

Ow.. What a sad ending. But I think if they value you more than your position or popularity, it would never change even if you get sick (or die). Right? I know that you'll find you break soon. Just be patient.

Now that I am with this back injury, and I for many years kept having profound migraines and vertigo that kept causing me to collapse suddenly and suddenly get very dizzy and sick (the migraines and vertigo are gone now, but I am now left with the back injury from so many falls, and a wacky fluctuating hearing problem), I wonder where all my friends went? I had lots of them when I was feeling better and was able to do a lot more. Well, what goes around comes around, and those who have treated me worse than I would treat a dog, will get their just desserts sooner or later. I believe that G-d has a way of eventually evening things out, either in this life or in the next. As my back heals better and I stay on this special almost-entirely-organic diet I have put myself on (it has stopped the migraines, headaches, and vertigo completely, but I can only have just a tiny little bit of conventional food each day because I can't eat much of it without getting sick again), I'll get more friends again. And, those who have been royals JERKS, well, I'd be surprised if they would be left with friends at all, as word really does go around in this medium-sized city.

What do you mean on popular? Will be a rock star and people sing your songs and recognize you on street, etc? I was popular - but not like I wrote before. I was a newswriter in my country's biggest political daily newspaper. I wrote lots of big stories which brings itself to the TV news and day by day about 1 000 000 person read what I wrote yesterday. So I don't know what do you mean about popular...
