Mum dissaproves of 'Popular Girls'?

[Violet x]

Ever since the popular girls at my school, the five of tem, welcomed me, a nobody, into their cool group, everyody had an opinion. I was instantaneously cool, everybody knew who I was; and this mean I was now one of them! I loved life, and they were so nice to me! When it was my birthday, they made me a gigantic princess cake and we had the most perfect sleepover!!
But my mum has been treating me differently since. She says she doesn't like how I don't treat them how I treated my old friends. She said these girls are too advanced for me. She says she doesn't like how I look up to them as if they are my big sisters. She doesn't like that they all have dyed hair and fake tans and eyelashes and acrylic nails and belly button piercings. She knows I have become more and more like them over the past year but she respected the fact and shrugged it off, accepting I was growing up.
But in a recent argument, she saw all the picture of my sleepover on facebook, and blurted out "Why do you treat them like they're your GODS?" I realised I do. Why do I? I don't understand myself... I want to be popular. I feel pretty and popular when I'm with them, I have a status and people know who I am. Before I was friends with them, nobody knew who I was. I don't feel bad about any of this, but should I? I'm not saying my mums being unreasonable, but I would like if someone could please tell me what my mum must be feeling? And also why all the people who are lower down on lets say the 'social scale' at school dissaprove?

She's right

You lack self esteem by saying your a nobody

You listen to your mother, she's lived longer and experienced this before you were born...

Being popular doesn't mean sacrificing your own personality to accommodate others

I'm not aiming to be offensive towards you or anything like that, but that "crowd" you're in, in most cases throughout plenty of schools, is often one of the main groups that pretty much craps on everyone they see to be "below them," as such. Popularity isn't everything, and to be honest, it is rather upsetting as well as aggravating to see young girls nowadays becoming more obsessed about being popular and becoming someone they are not, rather than being themselves. I understand what your Mum is feeling, if I were in her position, I'd probably be feeling the same way. She most likely feels upset by the fact that in order for you to become happy, you've had to change yourself to be like others, instead of sticking to being YOU.

You're doing nothing wrong but being a good friend. Your mom probably just thinks you're gonna be like a typical popular girl, which is having sex, drugs or pregnant. Treat your old friends good and continue to do what you're doing. Don't mind your mom. If you're loving life, then you must be doing something right

Don't worry, tell your mom that this is how you are now.
You feel better and happier.
And if you don't treat them like Gods or the opposite so be it!
You're not gonna be rude to your friends!
If her daughter is happy and is having fun and she knows it she would be as well.
Anyway you've been with them more than a year, so that means they like you for who you are!
