OP

[(Anonymous)]

It says "got." Because I was talking about my own experience, the schools I went to and people I knew there.

Re: OP

Then you must have gone to a pretty awesome school, OP.

A lot depends on the area and the sort of school you went to. Some schools have a culture of bullying where the most popular kid is the one who's the nastiest, meanest motherfucker on the playground.

On the other hand, I know a girl who was lucky enough to do an IB, and went to a school with a bunch of other really smart kids, and there was almost no bullying at all, because everyone had stuff in common and got along.

Ok, but the tone of the secret sort of made it sound like that was supposed to be a universal experience.

In reality, "likableness" (except inasmuch as it involves charisma) isn't generally that big of a factor for popularity among teens. Talent, ambition, money, and attractiveness were also big drives, and I think this is pretty common.

(I found people who weren't "popular" to be generally much more likable, which is why it didn't take me that long in middle and high school to abandon my desires to be part of the in-crowd and form a happy niche among other geeky people.)
