Eh, not really. I mean they had a lot of friends and partied and stuff, but they were also the students who got straight A's and weren't COMPLETELY rude to everyone.

Same with the kids at my school!
I wouldn't even classify myself as popular but I do know a lot of people at my school and I'm friendly to everyone so I guess that's why the "popular" kids are nice to me xD
idk man I'm a people person, It takes a lot to bother me or make me not like you
It may have been because I was kinda part of the popular crowd at school, but I don't feel like there were a lot of different groups of people cause there weren't that many kids at my school. The popular kids were really sarcastic and joking, ofc they were friends with everyone and always got the lead roles in plays n stuff, they were teacher pets, they always got like 35 pages in the yearbook, etc.
Honestly I hate to even think about high school. It's making me shudder.
I found out years later I was part of a "popular" part of school. I was in an Asian and Pacific Islander club and fit in well. I don't remember being snobby or anything. The most popular kids I remember in high school were guys who did sports and girls that developed very quickly. Neither were mean. I think that when people realize they are popular sometimes they test that "power" by dating others with good status or distancing themselves from "uncool" people. High school wasn't my best time in life. I love my life now (post-college) and I liked it in college the best. Sororities and Fraternities were more mean and gross than anything in high school.
I have no idea. There's only one kid I can remember as being noticeably liked enough that he might have been considered popular, and he was so much like a reddit edgelord that he would sound made-up if I tried to describe him.
There were "popular" people, but they didn't strictly fit the stereotype. There were at least 2 or 3 cliques of popular girls.
Some of them kinda kept to their selves as an exclusive group, and if you tried to fit in with them and they didn't like you, you'd be shut down and booted out. Like one of my ex-best friends did lmao I told her they were crappy ppl but she didn't listen and left me for them anyways smfh.
There was another group that sorta had a head leader, and she was one of the rudest, most obnoxious people I have ever met. She was pretty much the reason I wanted to leave HS so badly. Since the group was relatively smart, they were in my science classes and they acted like they ran the place. So glad I will never see her ever again in my life.
And then there was the sporty, popular girl group that consisted of the head girl and other girls that consistently wiped out the sports awards at school. They were a little arrogant, but a lot more bearable than the rest.
Currently I go to a private school where the high school is about 30 kids, but there were still popular girls. Since like 95 percent of the teachers/parents at my school are these huge christians, they weren't awful. They were the stereotypes that did sports, wore a lot of makeup, were Instagram celebrities, etc. I was friends with most of them before they left for public school.
From K-6th grade, however, I was in public school, and the popular kids there were horrible. I always had trouble fitting in at school (I was overweight, didn't like sports, didn't have many friends) and was categorized as "the nerdy kid." The guys there were all these attractive jocks and the girls treated basketball and cheerleading like a religion. They were rude to everyone but themselves, traveled in packs, and treated anyone who wasn't in their group like swine.
In sixth grade, the classes were based off of GPA. The "smart" kids were the red group, the average kids the blue group, and the below average kids the yellow group. Of course, they all got amazing grades, so I was stuck with them. Long story short, my sixth grade year consisted of two suicide attempts and making myself deathly sick in order to skip school. It was the popular kids that made me leave public school. IDK what the snooty kids were like in high school, but if they were just as bad as they were in elementary school, I don't know if I'd be alive today.
As a complete outsider to anythin even close to 'popular' when I went to high school, all I can say is this: you were either popular cause 1 they held a position of class office cause people liked you from elementary or 2 people knew your name for the bad reasons.
my high school was humongous, about 5,000 students so popularity was very hard to achieve to be well known. there were likable people for sure who were mostly funny outgoing guys who were physically built and girls who were attractive so that automatically sets them up for being cool to hang out with, and of course being outgoing in their own way.
the only really popular student i know was this conceited and "attractive" (i use that very subjectively bc i didnt see it tbh) girl who was trying to be a singer and actually had an agent and made music vids on youtube.
i remember all the guys wanted to date her, and that she was the only freshman who went to senior prom bc she was dating a senior. which when i look back, an 18 year old dating a 14 year old seems weird
My high school (all girls) was really small with like 30 people per grade. My grade basically had two cliques: the more preppy girls who were on sports teams and student council and stuff, and the anti-establishment girls who hated the school and talked back to teachers and hid in the washroom to get out of school events. Almost everyone was one or the other, I was one of the few outsiders
i'm not sure we had a 'popular' crowd in hs, there were individuals that were really liked i guess. i'm not sure what the stereotype is for popular people but in their case they were popular for a reason, super nice people who included everyone and made everyone feel like their friend. my year was honestly full of pretty great people (well my last few years, not the first few lol) so i feel pretty lucky
While there are some stereotypical football players and cheerleaders who are popular at my school, it's kind of funny because the drama kids may be just as, if not more, high up in popularity.
