How to get cool?

Something that has confused me a lot lately is how one actually becomes popular, well connected and cool. This was mainly brought up by being invited to a typical boys and girls disco party at a very popular girls house. There were a lot of people there, you could tell the status of everyone by the spacing of groups in this big barn.

The cool girls there were outgoing, girly, self obsessed, bitchy, giggly and generally annoying people. I had no idea how they became popular, it might have been because they were pretty, but that can't be the only reason for lots of people to like you can it?

The popular boys were good looking, sporty, confident, self assured and funny. So it's reasonable for boys, right?

It's so simple for boys but for girls it just kind of happens somehow. But I think the main point is confidence and self assurance.

I'm quite shy sometimes, but I make sure I ignore what people think and enjoy myself.

Friends

At every age with every person, there’s always confusion about your friends: who you should invite to parties, who you can tell your secrets, who to sit next to at school and so much more…

One of the most important things is knowing who likes you or not. We are growing up in such a fake world, we hardly ever know if anything’s real or not.

There are lots of categories to friendships, especially for a girl:

The best friend- most girls have lots of best friends but everyone has their bestest friend. If anyone’s reading this and thinking “I don’t have a best friend” you’ll find one soon.

Your giggle group- the group you mess around with. You mainly hang out with these people because it’s fun to mess around.

Gossip Group- the group that wants to know all your secrets and you always end up telling them for some unknown reason.

Your work partner- the person/friend you revise with or sit next to in class. Sometimes it’s your best friend or sometimes you don’t have one.

Food partners- the friends that always give you their food that they bring into school. That’s kind off the only reason you like them…

Popular people- the group of bitchy girls that think they’re awesome. If you’re not friends with this group they will be against you and when they’re against you a lot of people are.

The old friends- the people you seem to have been friends with forever!!!!!!!

Family friends- the sons/daughters of family friends. You end up being friends with because you kind of have no choice.

Your bitching friend- the friend you bitch about people with. For me it’s my best friend (doughnut).

The friend you’re not quite sure about- you don’t know if you like them or not or if they like you.

Your duet partner- whenever you’re singing they join in and you end up doing a cringey duet.

Partners in crime- the friend you always seem to get in trouble with.

You’ll find out how great a friendship is when you need someone to stick up for you, you need someone to give you counselling sessions or how long you stay in touch

I think there are some more types of friends but I can’t think of any more, if anyone is reading this comment what types of friends you have and if you can think of any more.
