So I ask you...the suck ups of cB...why?
Is there really a point to suck up to most of the mods and members...just because they're "popular"/"powerful"? Kinda sad...especially since it's online...losers. If no one replies...it cause you can't face up suck-up-ness.

This is a kind of stupid topic but whatever I don't suck up cause I don't ever see the mods, but people are just trying to be nice to people of a higher position

I don't suck-up.
Or do I? But people probably do because the Mods have power to warn you, and they're probably older, too. And they just want the Mods to like them. |

I never suck up. There's no point. People are people. Higher positions doesn't change my view. I mean after all, they're just people with "names" like "moderator". So what? I got one too from my classmates. Anime Freak.

No, I'm joking...I don't suck up to anyone. I mean, I'll be nice and give compliments, but to anyone who does a good job on their creations and/or gives effort. That's about it. *shrugs* |

Hmmm.
 There's suck ups everywhere... school.. internet.. bleh. I won't say any names but yea I tend to see a few of them around.I don't think anyone "sucks up" to me. But if they did, they should know that I won't really be doing them any favors or anything revolving around cB or xanga, so they shouldn't expect much from me. |

I don't suck up to people. If I think something's nice or whatever, I'll compliment them. I'm not going to suck up to someone just so I can be liked or whatever.

hey, now. you need to understand the pressure that teens feel. it's natural at this stage of moral development for teens to feel the need to be accepted by those with "status." if you've ever read novels such as The Ruling Class by Francine Pascal, you'd be exposed to the teenage need of acceptance. i don't think that it's right to mock them, since you've probably felt the need to "suck-up" yourself. "sucking up" is caused by a lack of security in one's own individuality, so maybe encourage confidence instead of calling people "sad losers"?

Yeah, I mean, I understand being nice too them since they're higher ranks and things... but seriously... it's os annoying... taking sides... complimenting them on every little thing, agreeing with them... some of them aren't even that nice. (No offense... but... some of them... I dunno... cuz once in this picture forum... ) Well yeah... you get it... it's kinda stupid... I mean you don't even know them!

I think that everyone has the need for acceptance though, and it is not only teens who desire to be wanted, loved, and accepted. |
