No, I don't think so.  There are some friendships developing, which is to be expected.  But as far as popularity, no.

it has been proven that we all feel a basic human psychological need to 'belong' - IE fit in. We don't want to be all the same, but we do want to be accepted, popular. This is why people join groups, so they have respect and peers

Because the ones that are followers are shy and insecure. They want to "fit it" so they will do anything to become part of the "in" crowd. It's sad, really but they should, well hopefully grow out of it. Could you imagine how much more chaotic the world would be if EVERYONE was a leader?

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.

WHAT JEYLE HAS SAID ABOVE GELS PERFECTLY WITH MY OPINION ..BE YOURSELF STAY KIND AND SWEET TO PEOPLE AND YOU WILL NOTICE THAT GRADUALLY YOUR POPULARITY AMONG FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS  INCREASES...

Its simply popular because it's given ordinary people tools that they want to keep in touch with other people.\n\nAnything innovative that helps people communicate more effectivly is going to become huge very fast.  This is the case for MySpace as well.

because people are vain.

I'm considered popular, I used to be kind of in the middle though. The only thing separating you from them is probably the fact that they talk louder, party harder, have more friends (not true friends, just people they can say "Oh, I know her!!!" so more like acquaintances), and they might do things in a bigger group. Some people may admire them as the more prettier people or the better looking people but most of the time it isn't true, they are just the people who brag about their looks or accentuate them by being extra flirty. If you think about it, the popular people go to football games and movies, just like everybody else does, they just make themselves more noticeable. There is nothing really special about being popular, sure, a lot of people know about you, but they know good and bad things and they talk about you more. If you're in a really big school you can still be well-known without having to be the center of attention. Just remember, the "In-crowd" isn't as good as it looks - most of the time there is more drama and there is no true friendship. For all of my popular friends, you have to keep them constantly entertained or constantly compliment them or they'll drop you like a sack of potatoes because they're bored. I would recommend finding a true group of friends where you can just hang out without having to worry about your hair or clothes or who loves who and stuff. Just do what you want.

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

Your inner self makes you beautiful.  If you don't have beautiful inside, you won't have a beautiful outside.  Popularity is what you make of it.

It is very broad......\n\nThere is not one singular criteria.\n\nIt is based on peer groups. Have you seen the film "mean girls"......those are popular girls for some but would not be for others if you want to take it on a basic level.\n\nIt has all to do with cliques, likes and dislikes. One person will be popular with some and not to others.\n\nI don't know how old you are but I remember at school , there were always the "popular girls and boys"..looks, the trend-setters (for better of worse), those who were always cracking jokes...\n\nSometimes upon growing older, the same applies......but some people will be more popular than others because of their inner niceness, ability to get on with others, compassion etc. Artificiality will always exist but people mature on the whole.\n\nIt depends on many factors : your environment, your culture, the values you were told to be "good" and worthwile.\n\nMy brain is kind of tired tonight....it is an interesting question but..

Yes, Popularity doesn't mean nothing to me.\nI'll rather be recognized for doing the right thing, than for just being popular.

Because people are jealous of them.

well, they are popular, so everything they do, is in the media, and everybody knows about it, so that makes them seem more annoying. and, cuz they have so much money and fame, that they think it's okay to be annoying.
