For me, popularity is not that important.

[teentiaraa]

Umm. Well, being popular isn't that important for me. lalo na sa school. You're in school to study not to earn praises from people. Pwede, siguro. Di naman maiiwasan yon. pero, if you're popular, be humble parin. Don't think na mas mataas ka na sa lahat ng classmates mo. you should stay humble. More will admire you pa.

if you're popular in a good way, it's okay. for example if you're known as being the intelligent one in class or helping others with the lesson.. but if you're popular like the mean girls in movies, it's not cool.. popularity is not a big deal for me.. popularity should be inspiring and setting good examples to others. that's what i think

[ewankosayo07]

popularity is not really that important for me at all. i mean, it's nice if your popular in a good way like you're at the honors' list or you've done something nice to others.. but i think your popularity will be a big waste if you're just popular because you're mean. i think it doesn't hurt as long as you're not stepping into other people's life or something. ))

MAHALAGA ang popularity lalo na sa high school kasi,, pag sinubukan mong maging popular marami kang matututunan. masasabi mo sa sarili mo na WOW! eto pala ako.. pero sa bandang huli, there is nothing at the top. Mas nakalalamang din ang mga popular sa pag-intindi kung sino sila.. mas madidiscover nila ang sarili nila. At malay mo it is the only way na maiiexpress mo ung sarili mo.."You have to experience first" there is nothing wrong in making mistakes,, at ang pag-aaral(I mean ung tinuturo ng mga teachers na lesson ay kapiranggot lang kung bakit tayo nasa school) ang dahilan kung bakit tayo nasa school ay para may marealize tayo na alam nating makabubuti sa kalagayan natin.

for me, being popular is important... because i have experienced being really popular then gone with the wind... it's like a part of me is dead... so as i regained my popularity, i didn't let it fade again... Ü

[nicolekent]

somehow. siguro. but its not totally important.  masarap maging popular, parang matutuwa ka kasi minsan pagpasok mo pa lang may babati na agad sayo. pero we're not always on top. sometimes yung mga popular people nagfafade din yung popularity nila. sometimes yung pagfade ng popularity minsan nakakadisappoint din. parang nakakadown. syempre mejo nasanay ka dun sa taas tapos bigla kang mawawala. so ayon.  it feels good to be popular but when it fades you'll feel down. pero di naman yun yung dahilan para magstop ka di ba. minsan there are things na nawawala satin because there is something/someone better. and lahat ng nangyayari may dahilan. maybe may mga nagagawa tayong mali kaya naaalis satin yung mga ganong bagay. pero minsan kung popular ka, tapos bigla kang nagfade, marerealize mo at some point, ayos din pala yung nangyari kasi ang dami kong natutunan.. . kung nadown ka, eto yung magiging key mo para mas lampasan yung happiness na nafeel mo nung nasa taas ka pa. iyon din yung sinasabi nilang wheel of life. minsan nasa taas ka, minsan nasa baba,. .basta kung nadown ka man, eto yung magiging inspiration natin para lampasan pa yung happiness na naranasan natin nung times na nasa taas tayo. parang example,level 1, bumaba ka ule sa zero, then magstastrive pa tayo ng harder para makalampas jan sa level na yan and mareach yung main goal natin. at the end, we will realize na things happened for a reason and there is something better at the same time, we will realize what is really our goal in life. and dont forget there is always GOD!


-yan sorry kung mahaba  . based on my experience lang about dun sa topic. . i know this isnt enough especially 4th year highschool palang ako.  .  pero okay lang iyon  . nagshare lang

It's not the popularity that one needs. I think they just wanted attention. So I don't need popularity to be noticed or to be heard. Being oneself is already eye-catching. 

[sweetcandy05]

For me popularity is a little bit important. Because, I love having lots of friends and being popular makes you lots of friends, so it's fun!

[L:anonymous]

i believe na you can be popular in your own way. so it's not really important na mayroon kang own clique sa school and boys around you. you can shine without them.

[bhebhe.fhudge17]

It's not quite important for me. What's important naman is you're doing the right thing. Pero as for my case na laging nasasali sa school activites like Student Council, Quiz Bee's and Mr. and Ms. Campus, I can't avoid na hindi makilala. I'll admit na malaki rin ang tulong nun sa personality ko kasi nirerespeto nila ako and I'm making my family and friends proud pero syempre, keep your feet on the ground lang. Mas important pa rin ang studies at ang pagtulong sa kapwa. Minsan din kasi pag-popular ka nawawala na yung privacy mo. Some people keeps on following your actions and the if they'll see something wrong, kung anu-ano nang sinasabi. Minsan ginagatungan pa.
