my guess is that you are not very popular, are you?

No, it doesn't matter after you graduate from school. Why people are so concerned with popularity, I don't know though. After school comes life and life doesn't care if you're popular or not. The only benefit of popularity that I can think of is the social network you will have once you are done with school.

No! You will see that it does not matter after you graduate school. When you go to a job interview they want to know about experience and grades, not how many friends you had.
You will see that when you get in the real world, even if you were homecoming king or queen, student council president, etc. (aka the person in school everyone wanted to be) NO ONE CARES! And the people who do care about that stuff after school are losers because they probably consider high school or college, their "glory days".

Juveniles have always been like this. I don't think it will ever change. You are right about not mattering after you leave school. But to those that wanted to be popular in school sometimes see it necessary even after school.

The type of popularity you are talking about is simply shallow attention people receive. A lot of people are shallow and they dig shallow, insubstantial attention they can get for shallow reasons, the number one being looks. Popularity causes a person to be mindless (as in incapable of thinking on their own, a follower). It is a lot easier to be an insubstantial person, a follower, a clone, than it is to be an intelligent, respectful, selfthinking, substantial person. I have no basis except my own intelligence, observations, and life experience, but I believe popularity and pop-culture (greed, conceitness, etc.) are harmful to society in promoting posers, cookie-cutterness, no culture, and psychological problems, especially in girls. Social anxiety, bulemia, anorexia, low confidence, etc. When a girl questions her selfworth based on her looks--especially even when she is truly beautiful--because she doesn't look like the girl on the cover of her favorite magazine or on MTV, you know we have a serious problem. It is sick. I've had plenty of first-hand experience with myself and my girlfriend. I guess the American Middle-Class is to blame. We're living in sad times.
