At your school, what were the 3 most popular girls called?

And, if applicable, what are the 3 most popular girls at your dc' school called?

At my school it was Alexandra (Alex), Natalie, and Christine.

At my dc's school it's Natalie, Jessica and Sophia

Light hearted nonsense to while away a not so happy day.

Alex, Helen, Hannah.

The popular boys were Nick, James and Tim.

Awful twats all of them except Alex, who was very nice to your face but an absolute SNAKE.

Lisa, Gemma, Elaine, Joanne, Donna and Melissa.

Unfortunately, as popularity in my rough school meant truancy, drinking in parks, and boys (at a time and place where contraception was extremely difficult to access and sex education was rudimentary), their schooldays were easily the height of their lives. Which went downhill into very early pregnancies, poverty, and bad relationships. In our early fifties, if I'm visiting my parents and see them on the street they look much older and ground down by life. It's a real shame. They were sparky, vibrant girls.

I still have no idea what makes one set of girls the popular ones.

At DDs school there didn't seem to be a popular group - they all just got along well together ( only 7 girls per class so they all just sat together at lunch and met up as a group outside of school)

So you’re saying your name is Lisa and you were one of the most popular girls at school?

How has your life turned out so far?
