Journal Entry 3: Popular or Intelligent?

  Most of the students(and maybe some teachers) in school want to be popular, especially the ones in middle or high school. Being popular can make you the most well-known person and being smart can make you popular, but being popular doesn't mean that you are smart. The advantages of being popular and smart are very obvious. You are well-known, most of the people like you and you are followed by a pile of other students(especially the ones who are smaller than you). On the other hand, you may get bullied by the students who are jealous. People sacrifice their own time to try to become popular. For example, a boy may spend hours in the bathroom combing his hair and trying to look as good as he can get. Feeling fitted into the school is one of the most important basics of being popular, because if you can't fit into the school system, then you won't be popular. In conclusion, there are a lot of ways of being popular. If it was my choice I would choose to be smarter to become popular.
