Focusing on a big issue (it's what I call the popularity curve) such as popularity is an interesting topic for me - considering that my school has no popularity curve, it just depends on how social and well known you are, and even then you might be unaware that there's always people who really care about you.

But what I've noticed is that a lot of schools aren't like my school. The popularity curve is a huge thing - you fall on one side or the other, and sometimes in the middle. Everyone wants everyone to look a certain way or act a certain way. That's one thing I really dislike about the public school system - there's no acceptance of diversity. Students aren't taught to appreciate all cultures, races, religions, or sexualities - instead that's left up to their own judgment, which could mean /basically/ anything.

I understand what you're going through (as I still have my anxiety about my social life) but to end this off, I'm just going to say that what one person says does not have to become your view about yourself, someone else, or just the world in general. You have every right to believe that you are beautiful, valued, and a great friend and if you let something cloud your thought on that, it's only a cloud - it'll go away.

Just my two cents.
