I Just Got Instant Popularity Overnight! Does This Happen Often? I Think Not! - Comments

This is a late comment but I feel the need to comment here. I'm so certain you will regret this, to me they were probably looking out for of and wanted what's best for you. Like I have still friends from my primary so they do last at times.

Also these new friends could drop you at anytime. It's best to keep your old friends but maybe keep the new ones to see how it works out.

v. i'm pretty sure that's it they taught us that song in Girl Scouts.
new ones silver and the old ones gold.

Although I do agree with everyone else, well done skipping a year or whatever :3
And well done on making new friends, maybe you should try keeping in touch with your old friends still though?
What was that saying? New friends are silver but old ones are gold? That's not it (I'm pretty sure it should rhyme) but you get the general idea >.<

Uh, wow.

Way to go. Ditching your real friends for girls who'll probably ditch you the same way "overnight."

I would never dump my friends for that. But then again I've known 2 of them since I was 5 and the other 1 trusts me with her life.

So I would merge the girls or something. XD

I agree that people do lose friendships in high school. It happens. But I agree with everyone else a lot more because of the fact that you dropped your old friends for popularity. I'm still friends with people as far back as preschool. Keep your old friends with you and add the new ones in. You never know when you'll need a friend and you don't know if these new friends are fake or not.

I know none of this is what you want to hear but you need to listen to it. I just graduated high school. I'm just about to go into college. Popularity may have been a major thing in school but it isn't in the real world. Keep both groups of friends. Hang out with both. You may regret that you dropped your old friends later in life.

u so smart n classy.

Just... wow. You know, I'm still friends with people from as far back as elementary school, and I have been out of school for about 4 years now. To this day we are all still great friends. They can last if you don't treat them like crap or drop them like hot cakes the minute you find someone better. I hope you learn that popularity is nothing. and those friends you dropped were probably watching out for you.

Wow, classy.

Popularity isn't everything especially when you find out these new "friends" will probably stab you in the back. Treat your old friends like sh-t and you're going to receive the hate ten times worse.

No, not whatever...I hate when little kids just whatever something they're wrong about.

Maybe your new friends make your old friends uncomfortable or maybe they've had problems with them in the past...I'm sure there are actualy reason behind why they're telling you these things, and maybe you should open your ears and listen to them and their point of views instead of giving them a "whatever".

Look, you won't be popular forever...that only lasts in highschool. After that you'll be a nobody like all the rest of us. In the real world there is no popular or lame...it's just every person trying to make their way, and that's when you realize,"Dang, I should have kept my real friends."

Honestly, you seem pretty shallow. You left your old friends for popularity and that's it? That's pretty shallow. :| And who is to say you lose your friends in high school? I'm still friends with a girl I met in 5th grade and I left high school about a year ago. You don't lose all your friends in high school you know. Seriously, this popularity probably won't last. Besides, in the long run, this popularity won't matter one bit. I'm sorry if I sound mean but it's true.

I don't know, I agree with everyone else pretty much. And I agree with you that friendships change in high school, but what usually happens is you meet new friends and you stay friends with the old as well. It's okay to have two different friend groups, even if they don't necessarily get along. Because you always have that connection with your old friends that gets stronger thoughout hich school, and then you have the connection with the new friends. But you shouldn't throw away the old ones just like that :l

What everyone else has already said.

Been there, done that.
They're watching out for you...maybe they really know how these girls act, and just don't want you to get hurt. True friends are hard to come by in life, don't treat people like sh*t, or you're gonna end up alone.

This is coming from the girl who has had the same friends since middle school. You don't loose the true ones, just add new people.

VVYou dont just lose all of your friends in high school.
Yeah, you meet new people and make more friends, but things dont just instantly change. If anything, people get closer >.<

I'll never understand it, but I guess popularity is more important to some people?
Being popular means nothing out in the "real" world.
It's all about what you make of yourself..not who you hung out with at lunch, or whatever..and, sometimes, by throwing away friends like that you destroy important stuff.
Friendships (should) last forever. Not popularity.
Live and learn, I guess..

You'd end up losing them in HS anyway. And only a year. They'll live without me.

You got rid of all your friends for popularity? That's pretty stupid, honestly.

V But you know these new people for how long? And then..yyour old friends?
Maybe they actually are looking at for you.

If they respected me, they're respect my new friends too. Since they don't I guess they aren't real friends. Whatever.
