Being urself does matter but also u have to good at everything ! I hate it ! not trying to brag but being popular is hard work !

at my school, it's funny if you make yourself the center of attention, if you show off, it's funnier, and being yourself is being crazy.

I think that you have made an awesome point .. Sometimes I forget who I am because of society and the people around us pushing us to be something we are not . I agree with you 100 % and girls it doesn't matter what size you are or what you look like . God made us all special and he loves every one of us :) we don't have to be popular because the rite people will love you for who you really are . Love y'all :) and thanks for the video

In our school, it's tough to be a popular girl. You have to have the hottest clothes, prettiest hair, perfect nails, cutest shoes, trendiest accessories, perfect grades, high up in the social ladder, girly, mature, a diva, be great at something, be organized, be an alpha, and the atitude. I am sort of popular, and it's fun sometimes, but a pain at other times.
