Would you rather your daughter be dumb, but have a lot of friends or smart, and have no friends?
Wow. The numbers are insane. No friends = lonely *in most cases*. What use is being smart then??
you get further in life with being smart? university? a well paid job?
Rather be proud and pleased of my daughter for her future.
being popular won't get you anywhere in life.
You don't have to be smart to be happy, I don't think getting an A+ in a high school exam really reflects on true intelligence anyway. You don't have to get a degree to do a job you love, there are plenty of practical jobs that people love doing and earn a decent wage all the while.
I'm smart and have practically no friends. And I'm on my way with all A's to college soon.
Actually it could. My dad is a buisness man and having good friends in high places can really benefit you.
It actually will or at least can, but in general, academically, it won't.
