Why is the head cheerleader/quarterback always prom queen and king?

[opinionsarentfacts]

It seems like those two always win the title. Why is this..it's not like they run, uncontested?

[AlmostARobot]

Think of it like politics. Why do governors and senators always get elected for President? Because they already have publicity. Their face is out there. People feel like they know them at least a little bit, and that can make all the difference.

So explain Bush, lol

[AlmostARobot]

Money. :P

But really, his dad was president. Is that not already enough publicity?

[opinionsarentfacts]

So you're saying heredity plays a part in it..does being head cheerleader, come from having a mom who was also prom queen/head cheerleader

Same with the quarterback?

[AlmostARobot]

Not in the way you're thinking. What you thought was heredity, in this case, was actually just circumstance; circumstance that created a big opportunity for publicity.

However, heredity can play a part in this high school setting. Having the body of a quarterback or cheerleader puts you ahead in becoming those things. Again, though, circumstance reappears when you consider that the family probably raised their child with a predisposition to fulfilling those roles.

People know them and they're usually the most popular. It's not always the head cheerleader and quarterback but its usually someone from that circle.

we don't have any of those in my school-but I'm guessing it's because they're popular
