Non-dominant discourses bring notoriety, for example, being part of a school club or being the best video-game player in your neighborhood.

All fame begins when you do something noticeable. For example, actors and actresses build upon their careers and reputations by achieving excellence in their personal goals, as well as perfecting their public performance.

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

As a child, I saw people as being people. Which means I didn’t notice all the things they did, like their behaviors or actions. I just went with the flow. I did what people told me to do if I thought they had some authority. In elementary school, I didn’t focus on what people called popular and didn’t feel the need to worry

I roll my eyes. That's all the populars care about is their reputation, not about grades, not about other people's feelings, just their reputation.

    There are, apparently, many qualifications that you have to reach in order to be popular. If you did not wear the same brand of clothing or did not act like them, you were not popular. In the fifth grade, I was bullied from two main girls that I foolishly wanted to be. Well not a bully ,but to be “popular” like them. One of the two girls was my friend. At least I thought she was. I guess she was using me for when her and her best friend would get into a fight and then she would use me for a friend. She told me i was her friend; she just did not want her best friend to find out she was hanging with me. In other words, she was embarrassed of me. Her best friend was the

Popularity in the book Jake Reinvented is how different characters act to get all the things they want including friends. One plot event is at a party. Jake Garrett, the new kid at school is throwing them every Friday night because he wants to become popular with the whole Scott Fitzgerald High school. He can throw his parties because his dad travels a lot for his a business job and is not home much, sometimes he’s gone five out of seven days. His mom lives in another state because his mom and dad got a divorce. Jake makes the money to throw his parties by writing papers for college students. Even though he’s only in high school, he is smart and can do a good job on papers for college students. Rick Paradis who is a kicker and back up quarter back on the high school football team likes going to the parties too but just wants to hang out with everyone.

People hate the fact of the happening, not being with the popular crowd. Few teens try to develop independent minds because that would cause them to be creative and different.

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. The jocks are seen as the “top dogs” of the school, due to their athletic physique and luck when it comes to dating. Cheerleaders are considered “the perfect, most beautiful” girls in the entire school, and some of them believe that makes them better than everyone else. I was viewed as a loser when I first moved to Plano, Texas. I had a chili bowl haircut, large glasses, and a thick west Texas accent. I also had a lot of friends who enjoyed playing video games and daydreaming about

I am not staying popular people cannot be friends, but they are friends based on a superficial idea. They care about the clothes, the looks, and what people thought of them, while my sister did not care how she dressed or if what approved of what she was doing. All she cared about was having what she determined to be fun. While most people looked at her as being a nerd, I look at her as being a cool person who was content with her life.

In a school setting, appearance and grooming is also a key factor in being popular (Adler et al., 1992). According to Merriam-Webster’s (2017), popular is defined as “the state of being liked, enjoyed, accepted, or done by many people”. In school, the appearance of being popular for boys includes the gender roles of wearing high end authentic sports apparel like jerseys and shoes (Adler et al., 1992). The term unpopular is defined as not being liked nor
