I was going to high school in Poland and the popularity was irrelevant. I was surprised when I saw a Hollywood movie about kids in high school that want to be popular by any means. Possibly, that's the outcome of celebrity culture yet to be established in a postcommunist country. To digress kids in China won't hang out with you if you have bad grades.

The whole world seems to misunderstand this, but Hollywood movies about High School (with 20-something actors in them) are not representative of actual US High Schools any more than Harry Potter is representative of British schools.

  I'm saying that is a true representation, but somehow correlated. Reading blogs and news you can conclude that popularity is an asset in US.

  "Harry Potter is representative of British schools" - it kind of is representative of exclusive old boarding schools though.
