Five Peer Statuses Of Being Popular Children

395 Words2 Pages

Being popular is a goal that all children or teenagers want to achieve. They want to be included, want to know everyone and want everyone to know them. It is hard to be popular because you will have to create a facade to please your peers, doing things you have never done to fit in. Therefore, out of the five peer statuses people would characterize me as the popular children because everyone knew me and I was actively involved with everything. I was friendly to everyone and was rarely disliked. I had a personality everyone liked, and I had a posse, which people said we acted, and dressed the same. I personally would say I fall on the average children because I knew a lot of people, but was only cool with a few everyone else was associates.

He was invited to a party but there was not alcohol so they told him if he stole a couple of bottles from the nearby CVS, he could hang out with them. They showed him how to steal a bottle of alcohol from the store and told him to do it after. He committed the crime and was able to get away with it because the store policy says that they cannot chase them.
