I decided to research the inquiry
question "How are teens and adolescents affected by popularity and social status ?" because the topic interests me. Since I 'm not far from my teenage years I believe it is important to
know how teens are really affected by their attributes in school and amongst peers in
the future.
This topic interest me because of personal experience with social status. Life was more about social status than popularity in the schools I grew up in. People were who they were because that's who they were. Those who did things to fit in were looked down upon, and eventually everyone was accepted by most people. I had only heard or read about adolescents who long for popularity but during my research I found that most schools do have the popular act, and I wanted to know how it really affects us later.
Originally I thought that adolescents
and the popular act is left behind in high school, or the early years
of college. However in my research I found that those behaviors and
attributes developed in high school can determine the kind of adult life
of adolescents, and could stay with some.
This blog affects teens, adolescents and young adults. It is important that teens realize if
the
lengths they go to reach popularity in school and their behavior in
maintaining high popularity or high social status will affect their lives as adults. Also the
behavior of teens with a particularly lower social status.
It seems to me that you really put thought into I your question. I like how you made a personal connection about popularity in schools when you grew up. But I think it would be interesting to hear how that affected you growing up and why it made you interesting in the topic. How does popularity effect people? do they do crazy things to become popular?
ReplyDeleteI like how you stated your inquiry question. Including the questions that led to you question is good.
ReplyDeleteLinking behavior from high school to life as an adult will draw interest.Incorporating your own experiences may be a good way to add some depth.
