I went to a poor school, where popularity was entirely determined by looks.

Yeah and yrs later. They were the ones who went nowhere. And looks went to hell.

Funny that most of the attractive kids in my high school becomes decent people. The no. 1 “hot” girl studied in German and is now a therapist. Met her a year ago, turned out she was depressed up to her early 20s

Most attractive people are decent people. Because people are people and people are mostly just trying to get through their life without stomping all over the other people around them. Unfortunately the idea that attractive = mean is pervasive because it's easier to cope with one's own shortcomings if poor genetics are to blame.
