If you happen to know, what ever happened to these popular girls at your school after highschool? Did they do better afterwards or did their lifes go downhill miserably?
What happened to the popular girls in your teens after high school?
I'm pretty much still in school. I've been in an alternative school for half of my 6th grade year and next year, I'll probably be allowed to attend 12th grade in regular school.
As far as I know, the popular girls are doing well, I guess. I've never really cared much for them. I've had a friend who was one of the popular girls... But we ended our friendship after I confronted her about that movie night she apparently ditched me for one of her guy friends. She used me as company, saying she was scared of waiting alone in the theater with a bunch of other people... Like, you're one of the popular, you shouldn't be scared nor shy. I'm a bit shy and I still go to the movies alone without a problem. If I want to see a movie I want to see, then I'll go. I'm not waiting for anybody.
I used to have a crush on her, and when she started cuddling with her guy friend after ditching me, I did got jealous, but I was more infuriated because she used me and made me waste my aunt's money. She got mad, saying that it was because I had a crush on her and that I was mad because she's straight. People who has crushes on straight people don't get mad because their crush is straight... Like, what's the point of getting mad because of someone's sexuality? I'm mad at her for using me. Months or a year later, she calls my name and I did ignore her but she came up to me and gave me a hug like we were cool with each other in Walmart. We hadn't spoken since our little fight we had and yet she spots me with my little half-sister at Walmart, giving me a hug like we were still friends. She probably forgot all about it like it was just a little fight that didn't really matter. She didn't try to contact me after I blocked her on FB; that was our only communication.
The movie night happened in late 2019. We had watched the thriller/slasher movie, Happy Death Day 2 U. I had already seen Happy Death Day, and I had already seen the sequel without her. She called my mom or someone to ask if I wanted to see the sequel with her. She didn't give me any other information. I thought it was the night where we'll finally catch up on stuff. Boy, was I wrong. I had borrowed money from my aunt since my mother didn't have any money.
I don't consider her as a friend until we actually talked shit out or at least addressed what had happened that night over FB Messenger.
That depends on their parents, largely. Typically-speaking, most children that come from affluent families will become affluent themselves. Much of this has little to do with skill or intellect and more to do with familial connections, fall back plans, exposure to 'successful' men (dare I say... you gold diggers out there).
Most of the ones I knew married someone who came from another family with money who was then pretty much gifted the status from birth. Then there were others who were outwardly affluent, but inwardly broke. Those families don't have the 'fall back' money necessary for their children to be AS willing to take risks.
Young adults that have 'fall back money' are more likely to succeed because they can try, fail, try, fail, try, fail, try, fail, all while the parents or family of that YA fund their failures and help prop up their tries, then eventually, they get something right and boom -- they declare themselves independently wealthy and look down on everyone else.
Kind of weird, honestly. My class reunion was very strange indeed. Hearing the husbands of my female classmates drone on about their successes in business or finance, etc. but after poking and prodding, I discovered that not a single one of the obviously affluent 'husbands' actually came from poverty.
So I dated one of the hottest and most popular girls in HS. Her name was Kitty. Every guy thought she was smokin' hot and every girl was jealous of her. She was a straight A student, a cheerleader and pretty much had it all. I took her to both the Junior and Senior Proms.
We lost touch after High School and I heard through the grape vine she got married, moved to another state and had a couple of kids.
A friend of mine said he saw her about 20 years after High School at a grocery store and didn't even recognize her. He said she looked like a crack ho street walker. I wish he had never told me that!
I have ran into a few of the girls that were really popular in school a lot of them once I get out of school took the wrong path they don't even look like they used to look like We Got Married to the wrong guy who basically just abused and use them. Same kind of with the bully girls the shy girls have become so much more beautiful and much more stronger as a person and became very good people Life Is Life we have to constantly be making choices we choose who we want to be by the things you say and do I think you should follow those rules you can do pretty good I think
its not that far since my high shool, but they are either liberals and into social science/politics, others want to be the doctors/lawyers, the third group did go into sporty things or instagram.
i would say three things still dominate in those girl's lives - public attention, money and looks. not much has changed.
many nerdy people discovered some secret passion or skill and many have actually quite found themselves in their life with something totally new. and they are mostly the cool down to earth people now in my eyes.
the worst got the 'badass' popular boys. some of them completely dissapeared over some work or grew older and are just not 'presentable on the scene' anymore

It’s all over the board really. I was a loner that some how got sucked into a popular party girl group. Not the A-listers but definitely B-listers. The girls in the A list group all went to college but have pretty average jobs or married dudes in their 40s... One is a physicians assistant but she is the only successful one, the rest are all single I think. For my friend group there either wildly successful or single moms. One works at Facebook and does porn on the side... the other created her own app winning the hacks thon and is featured all over the news... I have worked at corporate but can’t seem to stay there... no boyfriend as I have an incurable STD and won’t get married because of that.
The most popular girl a year younger than me who was Indian got into Columbia...
From the ones I still know about, they're all married with children, one is a dentist, another is on TV, two have their own business going on, and the one in my class works with some government/children charity thing... and she's still a true gem to this day.
Of others, I have not heard much or nothing at all, I guess they just spread further around the world.
Never cared for the popular ones. Always been around the nerds and the artistically capable. As thus, I don't know what happened to them nor I care. One of them roams my town occasionally, and she became at least thrice what she was. Such a fall from grace.
All the ones I knew, still look great for their age (way above average). All got married and had kids. All married guys with above average income. But I also know some who weren't popular but went in that direction too but it's rarer for them to still look great.
My former best friend (out of three of them) moved to Los Angeles and became a famous porn star (no, I've never seen any of her videos; I don't even watch porn). She's retired and now owns a yoga studio, since she was always into fitness and working out. In my school, everything worked in "reverse" of the post high school stereotypes; the unpopular kids (like me) are still unfamous, broke, and "losers", the tall, attractive, popular kids are generally successful and famous.
@Little_Princesa Famous enough to have her own Wikipedia and IMDB pages, but not like "Hollywood" famous. Her IMDB page says she's done 123 movies, debuted in 2005 and retired in 2015, but occasionally makes cameos in adult movies sometimes.
Pretty much same as everyone else, I have kept in touch with most of my school mates.
a lot of us moved away from the area and a high number have good jobs, just as engineering directors for multi nationals, one guy chief finance officer of a major UK hospital group.
We do however have those that got divorced, remarried, lost jobs, and quite a few dead.
Well, I went to a private school, so popular kids there were probably a little different than the ones who went to public school. There’s more of an emphasis on academics here. Also, everyone at my high school came from well-off families. One is a personal assistant to a CEO, one is a recruiter, one works at a jewelry store (but married an NFL player she met through Tinder!), one is a failed actress, and one world in sales.
One moved to Spain, one is expecting her second child and the rest are liberals I have nothing to do with
In college with no liberalism, most of them have kids excluding one who is travelling the world, a few in the last year of university and one who has almost gone to ground entirely
we had three kinds of popular girls in our school. 1/ the ones that were good at sport, 2/ the ones that liked the boys 3/ the ones that liked other girls
The popular ones were usually the rich ones who were also pretty and good socially. Most of them migrated to western countries like Canada, US or European nations. So lucky for them indeed, they are living a beautiful life and I am 22 still struggling in the middle east.
I'm still in HS so I'm just waiting to see how life takes its troll on them. But I'm not that popular in my school. The popular ones r the ones guys go after often.
The ones that were popular because they were nice and fun seem to be happy (either married or successful in their careers). The ones who were popular but complete assholes have been blocked on my Facebook and I don't know.
A lot of them didn't go to college and got married soon after graduation. They had kids, got divorced and put on some weight. I saw one of the cheerleaders in a doctor's waiting room. She looked rough.
I have one and she was very popular as a cheerleader. And she posts weird photos with her teen daughter where they're both very scantily dressed. That one went a bit weird. But she looks happy at least.
Another one I knew who was so popular ended up going hardcore religion. She ended up becoming a missionary traveling to Spain to try to convert people to Christianity and now married to a Spanish husband.
Most of the popular girls fared well in my school at least. The guys didn't as much. For example, the prom king in our school turned into a blue-collar type that became significantly overweight. I don't know what happened to him since he was so good-looking and athletic when we were in high school.
They became Instagram thots or disappeared. At least that's the case for the ones I was curious about, the rest, don't know and don't care, but probably a similar fate.
They got married, had children, bought nice houses and continued to live the lives that they wanted. The whole notion that the “popular” people go downhill after high school is a bullshit movie stereotype. It doesn’t work that way in real life.
Downhill miserably. Some got knocked up by randos and some are in their 30s with millions of academic accomplishments but single... almost all are fat or royally fucked up in appearance one way or another.
Most of them are married with kids. Two of them who got married sadly died in a horrific drunk driving crash with their baby a few years ago. It was extremely horrific.
Most seem to look the same. Bleached hair, skinny weird eyebrows, ton of makeup. Some actually take care of their bodies and that part impresses me tho. They looked way better in high school lol.
They became single moms and live on welfare and child support.
