does this apply to most high schools?

[Ale-ale-jandro]

my friend was talking to this kid over facebook about popularity in high school nowadays. this is what he said:

"Unpopular people aren't unpopular there isn't really popularity it's all divided into groups and they are now becoming more diversed so you could have some "popular" kids hanging out with the "average" kids high school spreads out popularity and gives you more chances to make friends"

what he means is that people are given chances to make more friends. is this common among typical high schools because the town i live in is really diverse and accepting compared to other places, so it's not your run of the mill area
