What makes a person popular?
Here's some music
Answer all, a few, or just one of these questions.....I am quite curious.....What is the definition of popularity?what makes a 6th grade kid popular? Does being popular matter? Do teachers affect who is popular? (I don't think they do, but....) Is being popular at Manchester different than being popular at your home school? any thoughts you may have on this subject would be quite illuminating! of course please do NOT mention names.......................................
