So, i was absent yesterday when they announced class presidents would be running by friday and elections tuesday for next year (freshman yr). so i told this kid that i might run, and he said "nobody would vote for you, you aren't popular enough". i burst out in tears when i got home. this really hurt my feelings. i'm friends with literally everyone in our class and thought i had a chance until this comment. should i run? or would it be too humiliating?

(i am actually a very confident girl. i abandoned the search for popularity in 6th grade, realizing that it didn't matter at all and only upsets you. that's part of the reason it hurt so much; it defeats my basic principles)

He was probably just being a jerk. If you're friendly with everyone you've probably got a decent chance. After all, student government is really just a popularity contest, anyway.

If this is something you really want to do, and you have the opportunity to do it? Go right ahead. If you don't make President this year, you can always try again next year. You will not always be successful in everything you do , but that is life. Not everyone will like you, and others will, that also is life. Don't listen to what other people have to say, you do what you think is best for you, and you follow your dreams, Don't let a few people hunt you down like a duck.

the significant ingredient is to no longer overload your self. faculties inspect your extra beneficial curricular activities, yet they're extra worried which contain your GPA and ACT scores. Volunteer artwork can pass a protracted way for you getting a scholarship. scholar Council, government, and Yearbook tutor organizational skills, that may help you apart from mght.

Get some balls and run. Not winning isn't the end of the world, but be prepared for the work necessary if you do win

Run and show that jerk that you'd be the best candidate there is

Your skin is not thick enough for politics even at that level
