popular children
[some] children are admired for their socially adept yet belligerent behavior. this smaller subtype, popular-antisocial children, includes "tough" boys, - athletically skilled but poor students who cause trouble and defy adult authority - and relationally aggressive boys and girls who enhance their own status by ignoring, excluding, and spreading rumors about other children.
with age, however, peers like these high-status, aggressive youths less and less and may eventually reject them.
