Popular girl

Ah, popular girl. What are the stereotypes? Mean girl, obviously pretty (that’s how you get in).

Not just pretty, con-ven-tionally pretty. Which is weird because beauty is subjective. But it has to be the type where a bunch of teenagers get together and a ton of them think the girl is pretty. Then she’s in.

Often mean. To other girls? Because they’re not pretty? What’s the reason? Can it be jealousy?

Seriously, why would popular girls be mean to other girls if they were the chosen ones, deemed to be popular n’ pretty?

Or are they just subconsciously mad that they were chosen for nothing but their looks? Not their smarts or personality? So then they look at other exceptional people, who have these traits, and were not “chosen”/‘“tagged” deemed to be something? Against their own will, perhaps? And they’re just happier? Able to just be themselves, not worry about stupid crap like having the school’s favor? Like getting possibly kicked out of the popular group? Getting into drama? Fear that someone in the popular group won’t like them, turn others in the popular group against them, and eventually it will end in their own turmoil?

Did I get it?

I had an instance when a popular girl was very mean to me in school. It only happened once. But she tried to humiliate and mock me in front of the entire classroom, and the teacher was not having it and yelled at her. So probably she ended up being the one humiliated, after all. Isn’t that ironic? I just remember thinking it was so dumb. She had nothing against me. It was kind-of hilarious.

It was during a presentation. I was one of the only kids still wearing a COVID-19 masks. I was a good student in the class, and passionate about the subject too. Probably one of the best in the class, never got below an A on anything in the class, and the teacher knew it too, and honestly I think she liked me. Which is why she was also so shocked by the popular girl (or just outraged how she would ever think that behavior is acceptable) but also that it was directed towards me.

She mocked the way I talked, because she thought I was being too quiet while presenting. But the funny thing is, is that this dumb ahh girl was talking during my presentation! Like the entire time! She wasn’t even listening. No respect, and the audacity! (My favorite word).

I didn’t even know this girl knew I existed. Because I’ve noticed with the “popular kids,” they act like no one else at the school exists. Like they’re so superior and above. And no one else matters, and they rule the school. LOL! Quite the audacity, but anyway.

Wonder how these kids are then out of high school. Does their bubble burst? Do they realize there’s a world, quite a big one, with problems, like figuring out what they’re going to do outside of high school? Do they do in college, what becomes of them? What do they make of their lives? And there are such bigger problems than the ones they have. There are literal wars going on….

Well I don’t know what they actually do in the long run, because they act like college is still high school, with partying and drinking. Probably struggle in school too, because they prioritize other things. Like this bully girl, I know was in no way in any APs, or even honors, and had to cheat in the most simplest of classes (she would also probably cheat anyway, because that’s just the type of person that she is).

I hate people who think they’re so superior above everybody else. The audacity! Like… No!, and especially are like that. At least be cool, interesting, or the very least a decent person if you’re going to think you’re better than everybody else…lol. Like it’s not that hard.

I’ve met a girl like that at university. It’s so easy to pick apart the “popular” ones; aka the ones who were popular in high school. So obvious.

The way they dress. The way they do their hair. The facial expressions they have (smirks, mean girl face). The nervous way they look around, always concerned about what other people think about them, or waiting for other “popular” people to show up, lol!

People in high school who became popular are also an interesting point of topic. It’s like they got a promotion! And then they always inevitably change with the promotion.

This girl in university thinks she’s all that because she’s smart (has a difficult major) and is rich and was the popular girl…aka rich and conventionally deemed attractive. So she had a little pedestal in high school.

I can tell it from the way she ignores everyone else in the room. How is it possible to be so ignorant (to ignore everyone in the room?) and at the same time to care, so much, about what everyone in the room thinks? A conundrum of popular girls.

Basically, I could tell, because when I sat by her, I felt so invisible to her; she didn’t look at me, ignored me, and pretended like I didn’t exist (a familiar feeling! I know it from high school) and like I was in her way, because she was saving two seats for people next to her (aka next to me also).
