#9  tw, et al: We're talking teens and young adults, here.

What I wrote above is what I thought then, Anonymoose. In my crowd we thought those who sought popularity were fools.

#8  What about the segment of teens who strive at being "antisocial." Ala "Ten Things I Hate About You"?

#6  tw, et al: We're talking teens and young adults, here. All hormones and nerve ends. Popularity *is* the goal. Not marrying or being in a loving relationship, just looking like you are worth marrying, and at are attractive to the opposite sex.

#3  I beg your pardon, Anonymoose? Since when is popularity the goal, instead of loving and being loved by someone worth cherishing? I'd much rather hang out with friends than seek to garner the attentions of someone whose only attribute of interest is being a member of the opposite sex with the gumption to ask for my phone number. Counting coup is a stupid way to organize one's life.

#2  that you are unpopular or not putting it out on easy street.

#1  Because telling teenagers and young adults that they should ignore their hormones always works. Especially when girls realize that not having a date for Valentine's Day means that you are unpopular.
