      Popularity ain’t that important – it comes and goes. Having a few good friends who stick by you through thick and thin is what is important.

      hi was i the most poular guy at school – i guess not no. But i had some good friends, and generally had a good time at school. I never wanted to be the popular one at school anyway!

      Hi Pazza
      I guess I was reasonably popular. I had a circle of really good friends and there weren’t any really unpleasant kids in my year. It was all pretty harmonious.

      Hi pazza,
      I wasn’t the coolest kid in school but I wasn’t totally unpopulat either – most scientiss are really cool, intersting people!
      I’ve come to the conclusion…and you will too someday, that being popular is not the most important thing in the world. The important thing is to do something you love and to be happy. And I love science!

      Not really, I’ve never been sure why though 🙂 But I never let that effect my work at school, and I found that when I went to college and university I was much more popular, and also that it really didn’t matter what people thought of me at school.
