Who makes the "popular" people "popular"?

Is it not the "unpopular" people who somehow make the "popular" people "popular" but viewing them as "superior"? Just wondering.....

ps have you ever said a word lots of times and realised how strange it sounds? :p:

I think it's how the popular people act really. They either think themselves superior or they are really nice people which is why everyone likes them (not that usual when compared to the first!). But I dunno, this is just guessing...

anyway, yes I think it's the unpopular that makes the popular ones. And yes, the word get kind of awkward if you repeat them a lot of times.

I think it is generally everyone else who makes the popular people, popular. If they stopped seeing them as something special, theyd no longer be popular. Make sense? Sometimes its also a confindence thing..people who think they're "all that" make other people believe it.

i think you just need one person who is already popular to back you up
and once they think you're popular and will back you up/invite you to the parties/make an effort to hang out with you
you're in!

im so academic

It's not a call of "who" but "what", e.g. I've noticed that the popular people always stick by their friends, not their work. They are VERY, VERY social, very extroverted. They are "in fashion", they relate to everybody, they are good at everything, everyone wants to be their friend etc...

Btw, what I learned is that, one can never BE popular, you just have to have "it".

I always wanted to know this cos all it took was one summer holiday and a change of school for me to go from being the most popular girl in the school to being a complete outsider. Big shock to the system and apparently the root of my depression.

Idiocy.

I dunno, but at my school the popular people aren't really popular, because the 80% of people outside their little clique hate them!

Aha yeah, I know what you mean - especially with the word 'visual' o_O
Anyway, back on topic, I always thought they labelled themselves as popular then everyone else has to put up with it :/

God knows, I just remember when I was in highschool all the 'popular' people were slutty little mean ugly bitches that are now pregnant by their brothers because nobody wants to tap their skanky inbred arses.

Yes, I did hate them. lol.
