Grades

I would choose grades over popularity because populars will change their personality just to be popular but really just be yourself and grades will determine your future if its good or bad so thats what I think. <3

Popularity No!

Popularity won’t matter because girls who usually are popular aren’t themselves they usually copy everything the leader does I’ve learned it the hard way and I’t hurts all I did was stick up for another kid and I’ve got bullied So grades will always be important.

Grades

I’m not really popular, but I am a A+ student. I care about the friends, I always try to put effort into both but grades are definatly more important for your future.

The Grades!

Grades are going to be important throughout your whole life, As you apply for high school and collage they won’t ask if you were ever popular they care about grades because popularity isn’t going to help in life your grades will your grades will also be a way for you to qualify for a job.

A+ For Good Grades!

I think girls should try to get good grades! Good grades depends on your future, not how many friends you have. Besides, when you’re just being yourself is when people like you best, not when your trying to be popular! Thanks!

Popularity!

I know the thing I should say is grades, but to me, popularity is more important! Good grades are easy to get for me, so I focus more on being nice and having tons of friends! I would die without my friends! Love you guys!

Grades Of Course

At the end of your education, popularity won’t matter. If you have great grades then you will get somewhere in life where as popularity is something that will only last while

Good Grades vs. Popularity

GOOD GRADES, OF COURSE!!! But I get great grades and I am popular. Not because I get good grades, because I am a nice person. So don’t worry about Good Grades and Popularity, worry about Good Grades and Being Nice!!! ~ Peace17

The best?

For me I would say grades. It doesn’t matter if your popular or not. If you get good grades it could lead you to a better future, like making it into a good college and getting an great job.

Think about your future

Grades are so much more important than popularity. When you leave high school and go to college popularity wont matter. Just remember that along with good grades, have some friends to help support when you have troubles. So remember there needs to be a balance!

good grades

good grades matter because they’ll help u later on in life. u want to have a good life don’t u? being popular makes girls who aren’t uncomfortable because they feel like they are not as cool as the other girls. i mean, u can be kind of popular and have a lot of close friends but don’t put being popular ahead of school grades. if you always get Ds and Fs, time to talk about some tutoring.

Balance

Balance, in all things. If you get an A on a project, good for you! But if you get an A on a project you spent every spare moment of the month working on, put down the lab sheet and step away! Alternatively, if you fail the project because you spent the past month partying with friends and did your project at the last minute, put the cell phone away and tell your friend you have to work on the project. Each option can be equally bad. For instance, the smartest man on Earth lives on a horse farm in Kentucky. He is a certified genius, but has no influence or political power because he does not have the social skills nessecary to run a company or become president of the USA. Social skills are good too, but remember that you are the one who has to live with your choices.

Grades by Far!

Grades are much more important. Will you not get accepted into college if your not popular? No way! Putting your grades first will get you father in life, because at the end of the day, it’s not about who has the best clothes, or the cutest boyfriend, or the juiciest gossip, it’s about who worked hard and got a good job and have a good life. All those little things I just mentioned won’t be important.

Grades and.... Grades!

I think it’s a lot more important to have good grades. It’s okay if your a good kind of popular, but grades will get you a lot farther then popularity will. I can guarantee you that! :)

Some words might be spelled wrong:)

It’s different at my school: basically, if you like reading (me) or something else which is even remoteley relavent to school, you’re kind of a nerd/weirdo, if you try hard to get good grades, you’re a nerd, geek, a freak of nature, etc. and if you’re obsessed with grades, no one likes you. Appart from me, of course. I really dont care.

Grades! Grades! Grades!

Grades are more important than popularity of course! Having good grades will lead you to having a good education and a good life. Popularity will lead you to nothing but a bad life with mean friends. If I would choose between popularity and grades, grades would be my answer!

Good Grades

Grades are much more important! Education should be the prime focus of teens, not social interactions. The purpose of school is to learn and prepare students for future careers.

Grades are more important.

Grades are more important. I’ve heard some people on here saying that popular girls are missed judged. It’s true not all popular girls are mean but some are mean. In terms of popularity I think it’s important to be the good kind of popular as in have friends and be well liked if it’s popular in terms who’s in charge in you’re school than you shouldn’t spend all you’re worrying up that. Popularity is different at every school. But even if it’s the good kind of popular I still think grades are more important.Plus you can’t go to collage if you have bad grades! ~Amy Namey Girl Reporter
