"How are teens and adolescents affected by popularity and
social status ?" is a question that I've always wondered about, and since the topic of popularity alone appeals to me, I decided to research the question. I 'm not far from
my teenage years so 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 those adolescents who engage themselves in extreme popularity and want high social status. How does it really affects us later.
Originally I thought that traits adolescents acquired that were useless in adult-life situations are 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, high social status, or low popularity will affect their lives as adults.
