Would you rather be the most popular kid in school or the smartest kid in school?

[scottish]

Not really, the chances are you're not going to be associated with anyone from school in later life (like workplace) so none of them are going to know your popularity in school (unless you specifically bring it up)

I don't believe my popularity in my school mattered in the slightest in my life or my current position, and I was always with the popular groups.

Sure people might remember you from time to time and wonder what they're up to now in life (that's just due to someone knowing you though, not being popular), but other than that it means nothing?

Obv weren't popular enough to be kept as a friend then

[Yupt]

Depends on what level you'd be left with. i.e if you chose smart, just how unpopular would you be?

Either way, i'd probably still say i'd rather be smart, but not having any friends would be so depressing as well, you'd have no-one to go to.

[Drewar]

Smartest, for sure.

Popularity is something that quickly becomes irrelevant after graduating High School.

What's the saying? It's always the "popular kids" that end up working for the "nerds" IRL? Hahaha.

Nerds rule.

Smarts

Me and my uni friends have a good laugh when we go on Facebook as see half the popular girls from school are pregnant now and are doing nothing much else with their lives. Nothing wrong with just being a housewife/mother but I feel like they didn't give themselves any other option.

Yes they do that's just what you tell people who have no friends it's like "they bully you because they're jealous" and "beauty's on the inside" and "everyone's clever in some way"

but it's true some people are bullied due to jealousy and some people are clever in certain ways. as for my uni everyone gets along there is literally no popular people or groups but yeah ur life = everyone else's

[Zak]

Neither. I'd rather be Mr Average (in the middle).

[Phil]

Smart. I wasn't overly popular but at the same time wasn't hated by anyone and had my own group of friends and tbh it's pretty much the same now. Wasn't smart tho

[Evanora]

luckily i'm the smartest, most popular, sophisticated, beautiful, amazing, admirable, delicious, memorable, special, valuable, sweet, unique, magnificent person at my school
