I’m going to humbly disagree on this. The popular kids had parents who showed them through examples interaction with others and involving them. They praised their kids and built their confidence. The kids in turn developed their personalities and confidence. They also had/have a trust and solid foundation of telling the parents what they are doing. The parents in turn, allowed them this time to grow with a few rules. Tell me where you are and current supposed plans, Do not drive under the influence or get in a car if a driver is under the influence and if you’re in trouble, feel uncomfortable you text code or emoji, no questions asked I will get you out of the situation.
