Do the popular kids peak in high school?

[Anonymous]

Is high school really the best four years of their lives or does their popularity help them go on to bigger and better things like college, well paying jobs, and good adult lives?

They do

They don't

Physical attractiveness in adolescence predicts higher socioeconomic status in adulthood, but adolescence is where people are most popular; after high school, no one cares about other people's lives.

Some do, some don't. Of the people from my high school days, some of the unknowns turned out to be rock stars. But so have some of the most popular people.

No. People skills last a lifetime and can open a lot of doors, even long past high school.

[AI Opinion]

In my experience, popularity in high school doesn't determine long-term success. While some popular kids may thrive, others might struggle post-high school. Success in adulthood often depends on personal qualities like resilience, adaptability, and ambition, rather than high school social status. Many individuals find that their skills and interests develop more fully in college and beyond, leading to rewarding careers and fulfilling lives. High school is just one phase; growth continues throughout life.

The popular people around me all went down hill... to depression and loneliness and overweight.

Only me and a few nerds climbed to hi tec salary!
