being popular isn’t necessary
: Rubin, 
The Friendship Factor
: “Research findings do not
suggest that popularity is the golden route to all manner of good things. There simply is not
much evidence that it guarantees social or academic success in adolescence, young
adulthood, or later life.… If your child finds one other child to befriend, and the pair clearly
have fun together and enjoy each other’s company and are supportive companions, good for
him. Stop worrying. Not every child needs to be part of a big, happy gang. Not every child
needs many friends; for some, one or two will do.”
