Yeah, popularity is overrated. It's better to just fly under the radar.
At my old high school, everyone knew each other, but there were all the little groups within them. I guess you could say we had about two 'popular' groups (maybe three), but they pretty much hated each other. Those groups were the muzzas, the sluts, the smokers, etc. Then there were all the random groups, which included all the different 'nerd' groups, and the closest people we had to goths, and the unpopular group. But really all the non-popular groups were basically friends anyway.
So I guess my school isn't really the greatest example of popularity groups. We had about 600 students in total, and about 80 in my year level. I gather that's a lot smaller than most American schools.
No being popular isn't overrated are you kidding me? I was in the popular crew and was one of the most popular kids in my high school and it was great. I went to a small private school that excels at athletics and i was a football & basketball star and male athlete of the year. We partied our asses off, threw the best parties, and i got a lot more girls than i would have had i just tried to hide in the background.
When you're that young you're supposed to live with no regrets. You have no bills and no real problems (generally, i know every individual is different) compared to adults. The only concerns i had in high school were sports, girls, and where the next party was.
Why would you want to spend high school with no one paying any attention to you and trying to convince yourself that you aren't jealous of the popular kids who seem to be having all the fun?
I would say I was quite popular when I went to school. I was just me though, so it definitely wasn't me pretending to be anything else. Everyone knew me, I was just a goofball, but I also achieved quite well at school.
Im at college now, and I still find it quite easy to make friends, just be nice to everyone you meet, and about 95% of people will be nice back. The other 5% aren't worth the time.

I just watched it for the first time and enjoyed it. I got to say about the popular thing... it's different wherever you go.
I am not sure about differences between the US and the UK, but here in the UK, I feel that school was more accepting. So I don't agree about the poster that classified "popular" as people who bullied others.
I was very popular in school, college, uni, whatever. We always see these types of movies that depict any popular people as horrible people, but where we were from, it was far from it. Despite my school having different social groups, everyone got along, even the hottest girl in the school was dating a chess guy in my year; and the best rugby player in college was going out with a gaming college group leader with braces. Among my popular group, everyone were nice people, and spoke to everyone. In my year, no one was ever bullied, everyone liked each other. So I agree with people, being popular is great when you are a nice person and remain who you are, not if you are popular on the merit of putting others down to please others.
Be kind to one another! If anyone is being bullied, tell someone close to you, 98% of the worlds population are nice people, don't get put down by 2%.
