well it can have a big affect and then again it may not. i think when people are popular it's more of what they do and how they act that make them that way. but then again mostly of what people may see it's the thinner one's with that certain attitudes that are popular. hope that helps a little anyways.

Contrary to popular opinion, it's not money or clothes... well that helps. But it's chocked up to confidence. Look the part. Someone that is outgoing w/ descent looks will go quite far. But popular is a relative term, popular is someone with alot of freinds, so you could be popular skinny, fat, green, purple, poor or rich just as the other way around. If you're outgoing and friendly, you can get friends no matter what.

i would say what makes a person popular is how they act and being yourself.if u want to be popular you got to treat people with respect. Populartiy isnt if you have money or nice cloths its your personality

Most people don't feel comfortable finding themselves added to someone they don't know,they feel threatened.\nI am not sure if our studies will get affected by this. but if you spend so much time online chatting you will certainly get bad marks.

Violence on TV has no effect on me.\nI'd like to kill the mofo that says it does........\n\nNo, seriously, it impacts on the language we use (from slang to swearing) as well as how we dress and make ourselves look (when Friends was popular, a lot of women copied Jennifer Aniston's hair).\n\nGood Luck with your paper.

You can meet people and talk to people, but it's pretty well pointless. If you judge your popularity by an internet site you have some real mental issues.

hell no.......nobody cares about the popular kids after high school...its like "where are they now"......who really gives a shit in the real world.........to me being popular meant you were a puppet...whenever someone pulled your strings thats the way you went. no personality ..just sheeps being lead to their slaughter......id rather be considered a "unpopular" anyday because that meant i followed my own mind..not everyone elses...\n\npeople are so fake  its unreal sometimes.....

The type of popularity highlighted in The Breakfast Club and Mean Girls, is actually a relatively new phenomenon in our culture. In a nutshell, it can be seen as the consequence of teenagers living in a consumer society, a society whose economic existence depends on people constantly having a desire to consume.  Marketers, in various ways, create artificial premium importance on many goods by convincing teenagers that -- by consuming them -- they will gain social acceptance.  This drive to be accepted, though natural for social creatures like humans, is compounded by the fact that objects and group affiliation now offer a tangible way of 'declaring' just how accepted someone is.  For example, the 'preps' who wear Abercrombie and are always seen at the shopping galleria can declare their popularity by buying a certain brand of clothing, which marketers have manipulated their peers into thinking makes them more popular than someone who wears Brand X.  Further,  teenagers in a consumer society have far more free time and disposable income than did teenagers just a century ago.  Time that would have been spent doing chores or working in the field, is today used by teenagers to contemplate their popularity and to work on improving it.

I don't know about popular, but conversing with myself seems to do the trick for me.\n\nFor others though it seems to be watching someone else live their life.

No. If you're status is popular at school and you're big, by picking on the lower status people makes you very low and no one ends up liking you. At my school, the same status people fight amongst each other. You see, the geeks fight the geeks. The Wogs fight the Wogs and the Aussies fight Aussies. I am a lover not a fighter and i try to be diplomatic in most cases but if a fight comes my way, i can only try my best :P

If you need to be more popular, you can do it by being more like other people.  Please Don't try it because you're not.  So, unfortunately, you need to 'suck it up'.  On the plus side, you will be happier than others when you grow up because you can be yourself and they can't because they don't have a 'self' -- good luck

Too damn popular.  You'll have to be mean to some people and remove them from your list.

The reaction to music is an odd one. The "Mythbusters" did a segment on it once. It seemed that the more SOUND a plant recieved usually resulted in more growth. Therefore, yes music does affect plants.

True.\n\nYour name affects other people's perceptions through their prejudices.  (if you are named "Dweeb Dorkus" they may not assume you're smart)\n\nThen, other people's perceptions are reflected in their actions. (They may not call on you in class, or speak to you about advanced topics; or ask you opinion on intersting things)\n\nFinally, other people's actions have an effect on you.\n\nThere have been studies on this, you can probably find them in a library...\n\nHOWEVER, your name (if it's reasonably 'normal' and not Dweeb Dorkus) has a MINIMAL effect on you cmopared to other life factors.
