You may be surprised to learn Year 13 girls still think being pretty and popular on social media is more important than intelligence and academic achievements.

Dr. Eunice Price at Auckland University's faculty of Education and Social Work told Tim Dower parents need to be supportive and let their kids know it isn’t the be all and end all.
