Being popular in teenage
Being popular or cool is the most important thing, for an average teenager. According to this study by Child Development, teenagers who perceive themselves as well liked are just as socially successful over time as the kids who actually are part of the in-crowd. Teenagers who felt good about their place on the social ladder do socially well as the actual popular kids. The research suggests that our perception of how we fit into the social world is just as important than our real-life position in the social world. The study conducted among 164 students. Teenagers who did not fare well socially were those who did not perceive themselves as well liked.
