A big round of applause for Rachel Zerdin for her article " 'Popular' Is Not a Swear Word" in which she addresses the misconnotion the word popular has gotten through the media. I especially like how Rachel brings up the word being," synonymous with Regina George-sque, nail buffing, mini-skirt-wearing, kale-munching head cheerleader types," since nearly everyone who has seen that movie would have immeidately made that connection. Despite all these movies and shows giving the word such a bad 'reputation' it shouldn't be taken seriously. As Rachel says, Popular means someone who is adored by all and the current way in which it's depited as is actually a bully which is true. It's a shame how being a good person getting to know your peers is wrongly misunderstood. Thank you, Rachel for stepping up and speaking the truth about the difference in being a bully and being popular opening our generation's eyes out of this Regina George fad.
