Top 10 Biggest Signs You're a "Cool Kid"

1. You're constantly on Instagram

   

   I actually dislike those sites, and I don't plan to join them anytime soon. But not all cool kids are bad or like that.

   Well, it depends on what you do on them, really.

   I'm constantly on Instagram, but I don't have TikTok. It's cringey.

2. You hate nerds for absolutely no reason

   

   Nerds are awesome. They make good friends, and they're smart. We should appreciate them for their intelligence, because not everyone in the world has that. It's also cool to be different. I am different from many people in my school, and I'm okay with it.

   Nerds are smart, cool, and make a lot of money. They're definitely better than those so-called cool kids who bully others and have their own issues.

   Nerds are awesome. But the thing with me is that I'm really smart, really cool, and also really nice. I've never really had an enemy before. I don't fit into any specific category, but in a good way. I do feel bad for those who have to deal with that kind of judgment, though.

3. You like bad songs and constantly do the hand movements in them

   Yep, this list really describes my classmates. They mostly do hand movements to rap songs. But not all cool kids are bad. Some of them can be nice.

   Everyone in my class is obsessed with that awful song Thotiana. I find it incredibly annoying.

   I guess I like bad songs, but I definitely don't do the hand movements.

4. You judge people by their looks

   

   No, I'm the type of person who goes by how someone acts rather than how they look. It's wrong to judge someone by their appearance. Just because they don't have the latest look doesn't mean they're a bad person.

   I judge by how people act, but honestly, you can be popular based on your personality alone. I'm short and kinda ugly, but I still have chill syndrome, and I'm popular.

   Looks are nice and all, but half of my friends aren't even that attractive.

5. You make a big deal about someone else's shoes

   

   I like wearing Vans or Nikes, but there's really nothing wrong if you can't afford or don't have the more expensive brands. Shoes are just shoes.

   Literally, anyone who doesn't wear Jordans, Nikes, Adidas, Under Armour, or some other brands gets made fun of at my school. I wear Jordans, by the way.

   I don't care about shoes at all. I think Adidas Superstars are hideous. I'd rather just wear my Vans, thanks.

6. You bully a nerd and a week later you get beat up by your victim

   

   I've never seen a cool kid do that before, but that sounds awful. There can be kids who are both smart and cool. Everyone is different, so yeah. Some cool kids do act like that, though, which is the truth.

   Trust me, many bullies underestimate people, and some don't. But still, not a reason to do it.

   Well, don't do it in the first place.

7. When in an argument, you don't use logic but still fail to roast

   This makes the "cool kid" look like an idiot.

8. You constantly scream the word "Minecraft" as a joke when someone mentions the word "game"

   A rather not-funny joke.

9. You try to avoid playing any video games except the Madden franchise

   

   I avoid playing sports games because I think they suck, so I guess I'm not one of the cool kids.

   What's Madden? Sorry, I know I've been living under a rock my whole life.

   Uh, is it bad I don't know what Madden is?!

10. You watch R-rated or TV-MA movies and shows

    

    I've never watched an R-rated movie because my dad doesn't allow me to.

13. You play with fidget spinners

    Half of the kids at my school, including the cool kids, play with these during class and don't pay attention to the teacher. Instead, their focus is on a spinning toy. Plus, weren't Fidget Spinners originally made for people with ADHD or autism? Our district banned these toys, which was a smart move since they're such a distraction.

    My fidget spinners were such low quality that they broke, some in less than a week.

    I played with one once, and it got boring after five minutes.

14. You own the latest iPhone

    

    I use my mom's old flip phone instead of buying myself a smartphone. The reason I do this is because I don't want to become dependent on my smartphone like everyone else around me. Seriously, in college, as soon as we have a break from class, everyone pulls out their phone. It's like it's their entire life.

    I'm a HUGE Apple fan (and electronics in general), and I'd rather have the original iPhone (from 2007) than the newest model. Right now, I have an iPhone SE (2022).

    By the way, the original iPhone didn't have an App Store, so you could only use the default apps.

15. You are good at sports

    I'm not! I can't even serve the volleyball over the net, but the one time I did, it flew across the gym and hit the teacher on the head.

    At my high school, most of the cool kids were good at sports. I guess it's true.

    I'm good at them, but I don't like them.

16. You make fun of people who like Pokémon

    My Pokemon Go account is so outdated it needed redownloading, and it takes about half a year to load.

    You don't have to like it, but at least don't act like you're two.

17. You are a modern pop and rap elitist

    Everyone at my school loves Gucci Gang except for me. Does that make me a nerd?

18. You steal other girls' boyfriends

19. Everyone wants to be your friend, but not everyone can

20. You speak in modern slang constantly

21. You talk about Fortnite constantly

    

22. Everyone secretly hates you

23. You say that music you haven't listened to is bad just because someone else likes it

    Someone told me Marvin Gaye sucks just because I said I like him. Ridiculous.

24. You are constantly making slime

    My sister is obsessed with slime. I had to make it with her once, and it got moldy and gross after just three days.

    Is this a problem where anyone else lives, or just in my area? Slime is pointless.

    So what? I don't do this, but I don't see why it's a bad thing. It's just slime.

25. You own something with the word "Supreme"

26. You only play multiplayer games
