there are some things that will never change

i recently watched the tyra banks show and they did a social experiment on high popularity. Like how far and how drastic it is. they interviewed the popular and unpopular students at a high school in new york city. and i guess this issue about the popular kids usually bringing down the unpopular ones is imminent and inevitable. to be honest, there are the popular and unpopular kids in my school but the line btwn the pop. kids and the unpop. kids are blurred. what i mean is that, the segregation isnt that clear cut like those in america or maybe other schools in singapore, or in other countries.

i think to myself, what does it mean to become popular, what do you get out of it? ok maybe the obvious one is fame, that many people know you, you have a huge social circle. many people know you. is that all that matters?? and what do have to do to become popular? do you have to look good? wear good clothes, know how to present yourself, wear make up and all that? i dont know. because i feel that some people are nice but they aren't popular, some people do wear nice clothes, i mean presentable ones but they're not popular.

so what does it takes to become a popular person? and why when you become popular, they say you bring down others, especially those who aren't on the same level as you? like tyra said, when you're popular, you have the power do something, and i agree. because pp know you, they would want to hear what u have to say, or they will do wht u want them to do or you can do whatever you can cos you have the power, and you set out to do something good, chances are you can do it smoothly, no worries there. i just dont get it why the popular school kids are abusing this power. why they use this power to bring people down when they lift their spirits up?

just because a girl has a bad achne problem or is seriously over weight, means she has to be disgusting? maybe she's the cleanest person in the world or the most nicest person in the world but you just have to tear down her self esteem just cos of her appearance. and i salute to this girl called candice who stood up in the show speaking out about the popular girls being mean.

all in all, i dont think this issue is going to end, it will always continue. i think we should just be who we are, be ourselves, i mean honestly, i would like to be popular but not in a way that i bring down people's confidence, ths also showing tht u dont love yourself and u're not confident. it's true. i wanna be popular among all the cliques, like be nice, even to those unpopular kids, i wanna be friends with them cause i know they are more worthwhile than the popular ones
