attached resp19.docx Comment about this post: This week's discussion about peer groups brought me back to my high school days and thinking about where I fit in. I agree with the textbook, which says that students who are neither too popular nor too unpopular seem to have the easiest time in high school. My time was relatively drama-free (thank god).

I was never fully accepted by the "popular" kids in my school because my family was neither wealthy nor influential in m...
