Looking Back

There are three types of primary school child: Popular, wannabe and different. Comment your thoughts.
Popular:
The kids that everyone respects and aspires to be, with strong personality and set the school benchmark for cool and normal.
Wannabe:
Generally a different who tries to be "normal" by acting like the personality of a Popular, or a respected Different. The butt of most jokes, low social status. Often suck up-ish.
Different:
Very wide ranging from bully to the "quiet, shy kid" often very individual with a strong but unusual personality. Often called weird, or bullied. Tend to have close friends in the Different category.

I based this upon about 30 people from my primary school. So it's probably not widely true, but see if you agree.

In my school there are: the bitches and sluts, they're popular. The badasses, popular. The nice popular people, they're in the middle. The weirdos, me. And the dregs that get picked on who I feel sorry for.

So true. Although I believe the wannabe category could be split into two, wannabes who are sort of accepted into the popular group, and wannabes who are made fun of or just laughed at by the populars
