Hatred. Neglect. Ugly. Nerdy. All these things are involved in high schools today. All kids get bullied in one way or another. Some more than others. Even though schools try to prevent it, there is no preventing it.
In the book Shattering Glass a boy named Glass is one of those type of kids that is not really in the cool spectrum of the school. Glass had no friends, no one to talk to. But there was a sudden change in Glasses life. A new kid moves to his school, soon to take it over. This new king of the school helps Glass move up in the social society of his school. But as he moves up the social ladder he forgets is values and morals. It gets to the point that all of his old friends betrayed him. Sadly glass was beat to death by a group of boys with baseball bats. Just for the lust to be popular.
This book reflects the real world very well. In today's culture the urge to be popular has taken over the high schools kids lives. Also kids that wernt popular before get blinded by the glamor of being popular it blinds them from there old friends and totally neglect them.

HAHA first person to comment on yours..and after your comment on mine i just thought i'd let you know that i think you did a pretty good job on explaining.
Scott you right they can't spot BULLYING and most BULLYING do happen at school to people who don't have a name brand type of clothing they got on or if they are dirty. But thats all im gone say cause we can talk on this for a long time.
I like the point you make about popularity blinding people of their old friends. It's true: many do suffer the "big-head syndrome," not handling new-found popularity very well. It's interesting isn't it, how some use their fame to make the world a better place--look at Tim Tebow--and others use their fame to launch a look-at-me-I'm-so-wonderful-campaign.
BTW, I love your opening. Very catchy.
