I'm talking about a simple fact: being popular is easy, being right is not

I'm talking about the fact that being popular in school has nothing to do with objectively having a good life

Usually people good in sports are popular in high school because have more confidence, it doesn't mean they'll be happy adults

Nerds are not popular because they aren't looking for easy solutions, but to master something

It requires sacrifice and trying to be popular is the most useless of the distractions

I guess that's another of the cultural differences between US and Europe: the pinnacle of our life is way after school and who was or wasn't popular back then is not important when you reach adulthood
