 By Nia Nelson, Junior I believe that Airpods aren’t worth the hype; in fact, they are overpriced and popular because it is associated with Apple and product of Apple. There I said it! Now don’t condemn me, but that is my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and has the right to express these opinions. When a person’s opinion goes against the majority, it’s an unpopular opinion. According to Urban Dictionary, an unpopular opinion is “the act of ranting about your opinion, but at the same time knowing nobody cares.” Recently, “Unpopular Opinions” have been trending on the social media platform Twitter with the hashtag #UnpopularOpinion. Whatever the topic is, someone has conjured up an “Unpopular Opinion” for it. Topics can range from the better musical artist to the correct way to eat a banana. After taking a random poll of some of our iPrep Academy students, the first 5 are my favorite. The other 5 are for you to figure out. Here’s a look at 10 unpopular opinions from your fellow peers here at iPrep: 1.“Talking to everyone here doesn’t mean they are your friend.” Maria Sears You would assume that attending a small school would mean that your chances of becoming friends with your peers would be simple. This is not the case here at iPrep Academy. We are compelled to be friendly to everyone because these are the faces and people you’ll see the next four years of high school. Just because you can talk to someone one day doesn’t mean that you will talk again or be the best of friends. Sadly, it’s true-- and the way of highschool.

Natural hair can also be an source of pride for African American women. Many argue you have the right to do with your hair as you please. The statement itself “Natural hair isn’t for everyone” however is somewhat ignorant because how can something you have inherited not be meant for you. It would be acceptable to say you have a preference for not wearing your hair natural because you can’t handle it or someone likes their hair texturized for a looser curl pattern or textured hair.

"Beyonce is overrated.” Jeremy Marlinghaus Beyonce, American singer, songwriter, actress, director, record producer and dancer, has worked vigorously all her life to accomplish so much and having notoriety with a large fan base. She is very deserving of everything that has come her way and continue to grants achievements for her. Beyonce is loved excessively by the majority. The term overrated and underrated can be thrown around a number or times without any real explanation. The unpopular opinion that Beyonce is overrated is believed by a minority. I can see how someone would think this. Many people admire Beyonce so much; they even praise her. And the fact that she has die hard fans that will attack you for her is really annoying; is it even necessary? Do you agree or disagree with this unpopular opinion?

In fact, Krispy Kreme has some great glazed doughnuts, but overall, Dunkin Donuts has a nice variety. I think the reason most people say Krispy Kreme is better because that’s what the majority believes and when a handful of people believes in something you are insisted on that belief too.

"On my block isn’t that good.” Skye Morris
No, I have not watched it yet, but I’m positive it does not live up to the hype. Even for those who have watched the Netflix series On My Block and feel the same way shows that On My Block isn’t all that and not enticing to watch. People who haven’t seen the series think that it is going to be a great Netflix series when really it is like any regular television series. You see the tweets the posts from the social medias, Twitter and Instagram dramtizing the show. For those who have seen On My Block and don’t think it is good before seeing the hype on social media may think that the show itself isn’t good, but actually the characters are what make it interesting.
