One week ago my old friend Adam organised his birthday party and he didn't invite his good classmate Mark only because other people from the class didn't want him to come. It was horrible on his part, because they had a very good relation and he were spending a lot of great time with Mark.
Unfortunately Adam had chenged since we are not so close and now the most important thing for him is to be popular even if it is hurtfull to his friend. I was disappointed with his behaviour, because he was always so assertive in everything he was doing and he would never do something only to appeal to others. I looked at him and I started to think that it is terrible what people are able to do to be popular.
It would be interesting to look at this phenomenon a bit deeper. What is it that makes some people popular and some not? Is it looks, wealth, intelligence? Why is being 'popular' so much craved by teenagers? Wouldn't a close circle of good friends be a better option?
