The Flip Side of Internet Fame by Jessica Bennett. I believe her argument is how things posted on the internet is big, like once someone post something on their it’s going to be on the internet forever. I agree with her because once you posted something on the internet it’s forever going up there even if you deleted the post or the picture. I am going to write about the first person that Jessica Bennett talks to about the “Star Wars Kid”, bullying, and the cyber world.

might as well have worn a sign on my back: I AM NOT POPULAR AND NEVER WILL

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.

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

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

Following passion is understandable, but taking care of responsibilities first will have much more of a positive effect on life. The desire to be popular now may help the present but in the future no one will care who was the most popular in school. Being responsible can be a life saver now and in the

So cliques and peer groups are the main reasons people to want to be cool. I know, because I just said so. And that’s the same psychology the media uses to “sell” people on “what’s cool”. There are a lot of celebrity news programs and the “E” channel, telling the viewers “Who’s hot and who’s not” or what kind of clothes are trendy, or Jennifer Aniston’s hair is the bomb, or Angelina Jolie has great lips, etc. I think it’s a good thing we have Joan Rivers and Kathy Griffin to put their

The author agrees with the fact that the jocks get the majority of the fame rather than the occupations that deserve it such as teachers. Teachers show kids how to act during the real life and to learn right from wrong. While

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

Everyone is surrounded by popular culture in our society today. It is everywhere. From watching TV, to reading magazines, being on social media, and just browsing the internet. Popular culture is the entirety of ideas, perspectives, attitudes, images, and other phenomena that are within the mainstream of a given culture. The question is popular culture good or bad?

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

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.
