Boys vs . Girls - Part 2 : Grades & Popularity .

Is it easier to maintain grades for girls or boys ? Neither . It all depends on you ; how hard you work towards your grades and how career-driven you are . Although , statistics are highly in female graduates and higher in school dropouts for boys , those are just statistics . But maybe they're not just statistics . Maybe they are the reason boys see it to be okay not to put as much effort in their school work that they do in sports and having fun . Maybe seeing the females dominating the intellectual world is too intimidating for them . Or maybe they are just lazy and care more about having fun and popularity than being smart and getting far in life . Popularity is another big issue . Have you noticed that a very low percentage of the popular kids at school have high grade point averages ? I've noticed . And so have the teachers , but no body's really doing anything about it . Nobody really can do anything about it ; it's a decision that they make . It's next to impossible to change the way things work now , because being stupid in school is kind of the new cool , if you really think about it . Prancing around in short skirts , shirts that probably belong to your younger sister that don't cover your belly and holding up the walls , while holding up your jeans is more important than holding up and wearing around an A in math . Anyway , back to my main point . It's actually easier these days for girls to gain popularity and friends . All they need is looks , the right attitude , and they've got it . But for boys , once you're born with a look , there isn't really much you can change . You can change your clothes and sometimes change you hair , but you really need a big , charming personality that is likable by most . The thing with popularity , though , is that you have more fake friends than you have real .

Grades or Looks ?

You could have both .
