Mostly it will depend on how much proactive parenting counteracts the unrealistic media image of popularity.
As a kid, I remember buying into the hype and feeling totally inadequate and when I became a parent, vowed and continue to try to point out where media just is not realistic and can no way happen in real life; it is a hype to make a story line in a move workable or just an outright assault of common sense. By doing so my child has been confident in himself and his abilities and by doing so, he is more popular by "being real" than he would be if he bought into the hype.

i think popularity has an effect o al of us and we dont know it. look at all the depressed ppl on here. the truth is it shudnt.we are who we are and if ppl dnt ike us tough bcuz there will be at least 1 person who likes us for who we are and that makes life worth wile.
unfortunatly popularity is soo hyped up in the media that it will keep affecting us all. especially kids who are most vonurable and open to impressions and ideals portaied in todays media

Every popular kid I have ever know went on to be a big nothing in their adult life.
I think that the occupation 'popular' takes up too much time to learn anything worth knowing or develop any real talents.

Hopefully it'll teach them to be popular,(or to be violent and mentally unstable) this will help so that they don't get hoisted on a flag pole by their underwear(or somewhere else). If your child(if you have one/how old are you?), high school will probably be the best part of their life, even though they will probably be losers(or hobos) as adults.
