Each student possesses three independent statistics: Respect, Fear, and Popularity. None is better than another; each influences social relationships, access to opportunities, and the behavior of other students in different ways.

I RESPECT Respect represents the level of trust and recognition that other students place in a person. It doesn't depend on physical strength, but on the reputation someone builds through their actions.

• It is obtained by keeping promises, helping others, defending weaker students, remaining calm during conflicts, collaborating with clubs, or winning confrontations fairly. Trust is lost by betraying the trust of others, spreading false rumors, breaking agreements, acting irresponsibly, or constantly avoiding difficult situations. A highly respected student usually receives help more easily. Their opinions carry weight within the school, other students accept their proposals, and some clubs show preference for admitting them. Even some delinquents may choose to avoid conflict with someone widely respected.

FEAR Fear measures how dangerous or intimidating a student appears to others. It doesn't necessarily mean they are a bad person; it simply reflects the perception others have of them.

• It can increase when a student wins fights, is involved in violent incidents, maintains a cool demeanor during conflicts, or develops a reputation for being unpredictable. It decreases when the student consistently demonstrates insecurity, repeatedly loses confrontations, or is no longer considered a threat. Those who inspire a lot of fear are often avoided in the hallways. They are less likely to be targeted by others, although making friends is also more difficult. Shy students prefer to keep their distance, and other delinquents may see them as rivals.

POPULARITY

Popularity represents how well-known a student is within the school. It doesn't indicate whether they are liked or respected; it simply measures the level of attention they receive. It can increase by participating in festivals, being part of a recognized club, becoming a school idol, dressing in a flashy way, starring in rumors, or posting popular messages on the school's social network. It can decrease by remaining isolated for long periods, avoiding any interaction, or being forgotten over time. Popular students are recognized by most of the school community. Their actions easily spark conversations, and any rumors about them tend to spread quickly, whether positive or negative.

INFLUENCE OF THE SCHOOL SOCIAL NETWORK The school's microblogging application also influences reputation. Posts can change how others perceive a student. For example, returning a lost item can increase the author's respect. Posting helpful messages or credible warnings also strengthens their reputation. However, the effect depends on who posts the message. A warning written by someone highly respected will be taken seriously, while the same post made by a little-known student will likely be ignored. Similarly, if someone with an intimidating reputation warns about a dangerous area, many students will prefer to avoid it.
