Freaks, Geeks, and Cool Kids

Freaks Geeks and Cool Kids(FGCK?)を読みましたけど、私の高校は学生が少なかったので、ＦＧＣＫからのグループはよくわかりません。それでも、ＦＧＣＫの文と同じように人気の学生もいました。たとえば、美女もスポーツ部の男子も人気でした。よく勉強している「ＮＥＲＤ」という人でも、美人だったら、必ず人気になります。そんな美人は目立つから、人気になります。私もＦＧＣＫの作家もそう思います。

美女はスポーツ部の男子とデートするともっともっと人気になります。普通の学生は目立たないので、人気の学生のパーティーに誘われません。

私は普通ですから人気のある人の世界が全然わかりません。(*￣▽￣*)

I read "Freaks, Geeks, and Cool Kids", but my high school was small and didn't have many students, so I didn't understand some of the groups from FGCK. Even so, there were some popular students similar to the ones in FGCK. For example, girls who were the most beautiful and boys who were the most athletic (and on sports teams) tended to be the most popular. Even if you were a "nerd" who studied a lot, if you were good-looking, you quickly became popular at my school. These good-looking people stood out in a crowd, so they became popular easily. I think the author of FGCK and I both agree that appearance is very important when it comes to popularity.

When a pretty girl at school would date an athletic guy (from a sports team), they'd become even more popular. Everyone at the school would know about the couple immediately. But since normal students didn't stand out as much, they weren't noticed or invited to the popular students' parties.

I'm very normal, so I don't know anything about the world of "popular people".



None of the above makes sense in any language, so please forgive my ramblings. OTL


ETC: Have you heard of the Japanese TV drama "Nobuta o Produce"? It's a drama about a popular boy's secret efforts to make a scary girl popular in her high school. It was interesting to see the differences between Japanese and American high schools and what makes students popular. The show is great, so I recommend it~
