Whilst at school I hear people use the phrase 'that popular girl/boy', popular? I don't think, so more like some one who attracts negative attention for all the wrong reasons - whether physically or so on.
I am not saying the statement above is the case for everyone, but the label 'popular' really isn't the right definition, I know people who have increased popularity than them - and for all the right reasons.
I then see people trying to be popular, trying to fit in - too much pressure perhaps? But why would any one want to be 'overwhelmed' with popularity, when in fact what they have is much better - even one person, and that person looks out for you, and who knows when you become 'popular' in your own eyes people may use you to become popular. I think some people want to be popular to feel importance to be seen, to be noticed, but do you really for all the right reasons? Popularity is defined by many people as maybe someone who has many friends, someone who attracts bad attention but is getting it all. To be honest, are celebrities really popular? Maybe in their own personal lives, but in fact by liking celebrities it doesn't make them popular only in your own lives it is just seen as 'cool' to be with a celebrity, who wouldn't want to meet a celebrity and be seen with one - this isn't popularity it's stardom.
Popularity is defined as different things but think before you want to become 'popular' attraction is totally different to being attractive.
