If I Could Live Life in My Seven-Year-Old’s Shoes

I would also understand that the “popular” kids don’t usually choose to be popular and that their lives revolve around having people like them. I would try to remember that this isn’t the meaning of life nor should it be. It’s great to have people like you, but it is always the most important to like yourself. “Popular” kids are always up for scrutiny on what they do and what they like. Most often the popular kids don’t even know they’re popular. They feel as alone and outside as anyone else.

So what’s important at seven? Enjoying life, enjoying your friends and enjoying who you are. I know it’s probably an unreachable goal, but now I just have to figure out how to try to get her to believe me! Wish me luck.
