Popularity...
Popularity some people have it. Some don't. Some of the ones that don't have it want it, very bad. So bad they would risk friendships to get it.You might just feel normal, but you don't realize how lucky you might be.
See for me I had a group of friends they weren't the best but they were true friends. I was not happy. I wanted to be in "the" group. I was willing to do anything to get there. I befriended two of the girls of that group and
thought okay this is good I am a shoe in. Its not that easy. I was told to dump my other friends or else they wouldn't be friends with me. After getting a taste of that popularity I was hooked, it was like I was a robot
doing whatever I had to to get that feeling. So from that it started. One of the girls in the group hated me. She said she would never let me in. She wrote me notes and telling me how much she hated me and made fun of stuff
about me. They took a vote. Each wrote there opinions about me, and then the gave it to Laura* to show me. I never knew about this note until a week or so later. While I was alone with Laura and Kathy*. I found out they had also written awful things about me and never were my real friends. I was completely hysterical. I couldn't believe what I had done. My old friends had gone and left me. My new friends or should I say fake friends went off
laughing away thinking it was all one big joke. But it was not a big joke when peoples feeling are involved nothing is a joke. So I am telling you after my experience, You may always want to be like the popular people but Don't risk your real friends for it, its not worth it, I learned the hard way.
