All about Popularity

Popularity during teenage years is one of the most important things for young teens.   Everybody is worried about the same thing: How popular am I? How many friends do I have? Am I looking “cool”? Are my friends "cool" enough? Our son is in grade 6 and he is already talking about who is more popular than others at his school and who is the less popular than others.

Popularity is a time when young boys and girls are conscious about just about everything.  Many children secretly love being the center of attraction but fail to do so; therefore, they start feeling low and their confidence level sinks. This is the time when children also become particular about their looks and the clothes they wear.  I have noticed our son started to even put gel in his hair every morning recently.  

I try to tell our son the definition of being popular is to be liked and adored by the majority of people, however, that doesn’t mean he or she is necessarily academically smart.  There are plenty of unpopular teenagers and some are socioeconomically successful much to the chagrin of their more popular friends.

My advice for those unpopular kids is DO NOT get stressed out if you are not popular. You are who you are and nothing can change it. That’s life. Be happy and do not be obsessed with who you want to be.

AP vs. IB: Which one is better?

In Canada there are two enrichment programs:

AP - Advanced Placement
IB - International Baccalaureate

IB is designed to be much harder than AP, but it depends a lot on the school. If you enrol in an IB program, it basically means all of your classes are advanced.  AP classes are about equally advanced, but the difference is you can choose to take some classes as AP while taking others at a regular level.

AP and IB are almost universally accepted as proof of secondary academic achievement on a higher level.

The AP and IB programs are not for every student or every school; however, if it is true academic excellence which you wish to attain, you will examine what the programs offer, and consider implementing one or the other.

In a nutshell, IB is more rigorous than AP.  Well-rounded people are more likely to succeed in IB. AP is less stressful than IB, but definitely it is still stressful. There is a greater chance that AP students could enjoy their classes and earn a higher GPA.
