Popular kids that are in school are so pathetic in my opinion. I was once one of them for a short time. We acted mean, joked around, and talked back to teachers to be approved by people, and because we would get respect by doing that. I was always in a Japanese school with nice people, but when I got to American schools, I learned that being mean is how you fit in. Now I think about it, it's really pathetic how some people always wants people to approve and like them. I ended up losing myself.
