The Christianville Spirit: Happy New Year 2008


The Christianville Spirit
The Spirit that touches Lives

Hi everyone and Welcome Back to another exciting year of touching articles and readings of The Christianville Spirit. First off, Happy New Year and Welcome to 2008; This Year will quite an awesome year for everyone. So, to kick off 2008; I’m going to write about something I saw on a TV Show called “Wife Swap”. One family, where they say Popular People rule and the other family where feminist woman rule. So, the feminist family; that’s fine; But, I wasn’t ok about the popular family. You see, they have a 16 Year Old Daughter named Alicia who is a pageant queen and her parents do everything for her. And, even do her homework. Also, her parents think Popular People Rule the World and that non-popular won’t get anywhere, you have to have “Sparkle” as they call it. So, here’s a question. What is Popularity and why in the world is it soo Important?!? Popularity in my eyes is just a label to bully and push people around and a way to stand higher than the average person. Parents, if you’re reading this. Popularity was not as big when you went to High School. But, today in public school it’s pretty big. Popular People these days look at other people who aren’t popular from the outside and think of them as nerds or bookworms. So, here’s my look at Popularity. Sometimes, it’s good to be Popular to the point of at least people knowing who you are. But, you want to show people who you truly are, not the fake you. And, that’s where the not-so-good popular comes in. they show people the fake side of themselves because they’re afraid that if they show the real them, no one will want to get to know them. But, the secret of it that people don’t get is that some of us might not be popular to the other kids or adults. But, we are Popular in our own special way and in our circle of friends. So, the point of this is not to let people like Alicia or her families intimidate you because you are popular and special in your own way.
Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. Have a Happy AWESOME New Year in 2008!
