Being “Cool” in MiddleSchool

A new study shows thatgentle and quiet kids in middle school will grow up to rule. Or, at least,they’ll live healthier and more productive lives than the “cool” kids will.

The study looked at13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having “cool” behavior, such asearly romantic relationships. They were seen as “cool” and popular kids. But asthey grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problemswith drugs and relationships by their early 20s. Their behavior was no longerlinked with popularity. Instead, they were thought to be less socially skilledby their peers. Besides, the average “cool” kids, by age 22, did more poorlythan the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate ofproblems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 percent greater rate ofcriminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to developimportant life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool. They didn’tdevelop the skills needed for meaningful friendships.

The study followed 86 maleand 98 female middle school students for a 10-year period. It has somesurprising findings. In particular, the study notes that the so-called “cool”behavior is a predictor (预示) of future problems with drugs and alcohol. In fact, it is abetter predictor than drug and alcohol use in middle school. However, oneconclusion of the study is welcome. Researchers said that parents shouldn’tworry too much if their kids don’t seem that popular. If a kid prefers to spendSaturday nights at home watching a movie or reading instead of going out withfriends, that is not a cause for concern. Many “uncool” kids, they said, domuch better later on than the popular kids do.

在初中的“酷”孩子
一项新的研究表明，温和和安静的孩子在初中时将会长大后成为领导者。或者至少，他们的生活将比“酷”孩子更健康和更有成效。研究观察了13岁时表现得早熟的孩子，这种“酷”行为包括早期的浪漫关系。他们被视为“酷”和受欢迎的孩子。但随着他们的成长，情况发生了变化。研究发现，这些孩子在20岁左右时倾向于遇到毒品和关系问题。他们的行为不再与受欢迎挂钩。相反，他们被同龄人认为是社交技能较差的人。此外，平均而言，到22岁时，“酷”孩子在研究中表现得不如普通孩子好。他们因毒品和酒精问题的发生率高出45％。犯罪行为的发生率也高出22％。研究还发现，这些孩子未能发展出重要的生活技能。他们花了太多时间试图显得“酷”。因此，他们没有发展出建立有意义友谊所需的技能。研究跟踪了86名男性和98名女性初中学生，为期10年。它有一些令人惊讶的发现。在特别情况下，研究指出所谓的“酷”行为是未来毒品和酒精问题的预示因素。实际上，它比在初中使用毒品和酒精的行为更能预测这些问题。然而，该研究的一个结论是值得欢迎的。研究人员表示，父母不必过于担心如果他们的孩子似乎不那么受欢迎。如果一个孩子更喜欢在周六晚上在家看电影或读书而不是出去与朋友约会，那并不是一个值得关注的问题。他们说，很多“不酷”的孩子，在后来比那些受欢迎的孩子表现得更好。
