Popularity in High School

When I was in high school,my father was alive.He was the most respected man not only in our home town,but the whole district.Even the parents of my classmates would approach him to solve their family disputes.My father was a man of noble character and my mother was extremely polite and a generous lady.The popularity of my parents was the reason of my popularity in the school.I was an average student who would never take part in extra curricular activities.Only a few of my classmates were my friends.But they liked and loved me.Mainly it was the popularity of my parents that was the sole reason of my popularity in high school.

I think its same evrywhere. Popular student can be caused by many factors such as: smart, good looking face and charming, celebrity "branded", join in many club and give many exellent contribute to school, or rich parents :D

Ok some factors contributing to people being popular at my school was , physical appearance , attitude and did I say looks lol . I believe also that different countries have different factor to being popular . You attend a certain high school based on grade . So if you attend a top school then how smart you are will make you popular in that group .

More likely, you're family standards has been impact on being popular, secondly the contribution or achievement you have done which has create an impact for the school, this plays a major role on how a student can be popular at school. :)

I am active in extra curriculum activities and this made me popular, i guess. I'm a transferee student and late enrollee so i guess this factor made them curious plus i came to a family who's a bit known. Being popular is a great feeling but to much digging in your life is too much. So, popularity has advantage and disadvantage.

As far as high school is concerned, I used to live in the Dutch Caribbean at that time. But, the school I went to worked under the American System. So, American culture was interwoven into the cultural fabric of the school. Add to it, a South American influence & you have a pretty heady mixture for a guy from India. Popularity was based on physical appearance & athleticism. I was never a popular guy as I did not match the "schema" of a popular guy. Anyway, athletes & American guys were popular...

Unfortunately, at the school I went to when I was younger, your popularity very much depended on your personality. You might think that this is a good thing, but the nice people weren't popular. It was those who were bullies or talked about people behind their backs who were the popular ones, and this is something that I wish had never happened because I always hated it. If the bullies took a dislike to you, the rest of the school would hate you as well because of the fact that the bullies had. I was hated a lot in school because I was too nice and just didn't stand up for myself. I hope that this is a lesson that other people could learn in the future.

Unfortunately i was not among the popular crowed in high school. I had to watch from the sidelines with envy. It seems that most of the popukar girls had a few things in common. they were flawlessly pretty. they were cheerleaders and they had the attention of every boy in school. Teachers would also dote on them making it even tougher for the rest of us. Popular boys were usually the best looking boys in school, had a car that everyone was jealous of and was usually a star athlete on the football or basketball team. I dreamed of being popular but it just was not in the cards for me in high school.

In United States, if you are good at sports, or you are a jock, you definitely will be popular in school, and you rule it. Being a pretty girl, and be attractive, cool and stylish can also be the contributing factor to it. So, there were some factors that would make you popular. Anyway, be yourself, no matter what. Popular or not, it won't be matter, high school still is a learning ground for all of us.

when i was in high school i have been one of the popular student for almost two years from third year to fourth year and the factor that made me popular was my section,once you are in star section you are popular and another factor is i was an officer in CAT before.

I guess it depends on the school. In mine, these were the factors: -confidence and assortion, not being afraid to talk -coolness, kind of rebellion, talking self-righteously and sometimes rudely about stuff -exciting life -money -fashionableness, trendiness -interesting love lives -obnoxious people

In my high school years, I wasn't that too much popular, when I tried to join an organization of student council. I knew that my party members are very well known rather than I but when it was my turn to tell my name in front of my co-classmates, I feel that I wasn't belong. After a week of voting, I was shocked because I was one of the choices of the students. Being popular doesn't need to join many activities. You can be popular just showing the true you or your true self. Many people will respect you because they know that you are an athlete, a genius, a mathematician and many more but nothing change because they will tell you are are simple and showing the true you.

Being athletic still counts. Plus, If you are rich, you somehow become popular too. Most of the time, people who are more sociable are the ones that are popular.

In my country which is Philippines, being beautiful is the best factor of being popular, the next is athleticism.
