Education has always been an important foundation upon which my family encouraged the most. Not just the education pertaining to structured schooling, but the fundamentals in life that require you to interact in society and be a part of something bigger than yourself. They demonstrated how to commit to values such as responsibility, motivation, and consistency; and, how to be open-minded and passionate about the things you believe in.

Popularity is one of the most commonly studied peer interaction phenomenon. Initially these studies assigned participants to one of the following standard sociometric categories: popular, rejected, neglected, average, and controversial. These studies faded away for two main reasons. The first is that this model neglected to take the school structure into consideration when studying popularity. It ignored that due to the transition between classes starting in middle school students no longer have a small and stable social component that social interactions and sociometric status could be based on. The second is that popularity depends on the adolescents’ perception of popularity rather than how well liked an adolescent is. Popularity heavily depends on the

He is short, he is under five feet tall, in high school he was bullied because he was short, and now he has a great testimony. Alexander Robbins used the example of Bruce Springsteen, when Bruce was in high school he was unpopular that he felt invisible, so he started a band, so he could stand out.

Growing up education was always very important to my father. At a very young age he instilled the importance of being literate into me and my siblings.

My love for learning began to match my fathers as I grew.

My parents could not be more different when it comes to how important education plays a role in your life. My mom earned her masters in special education and belives that it has made her a better teacher to her students. My dad on the other hand did not make to high school and thinks a person just needs to work in life. Growing up I felt like I was stuck in the middle of how I felt about education. Now, I am in my twenties and seen what both choices have resulted in for each one of my parents through out life, and believe that now having an education is the best way to go through life. Work is also important and will get you through, but having an education just makes life a little bit easer.

To most kids in high school, social status and physical appearance are everything. A kid doesn’t necessarily have to be the most attractive person in the school to be considered popular, but sadly it seems to help amongst the more superficially minded teenagers.
