Answer 2

The main idea of this text is to emphasize the importance of true friendship and to challenge the perception of what it means to be "cool." The text highlights that popularity based on superficial qualities like appearance or social status does not necessarily lead to genuine connections or true friendship. It encourages readers to look beyond superficial attributes and instead seek friends who are reliable, generous, humorous, and treat others well. The text also suggests that it is important to be true to oneself and not compromise personal values or comfort to gain acceptance from "cool" people. The final thought prompts readers to reflect on the significance of meaningful friendships rather than simply focusing on the quantity of friends.
