I was popular in high school and the secret was just being myself. The freshman year was the hardest, because everybody wanted to find their click. Stay away from clicks and remember guys only want one thing. If you get swayed by some jock then you're in his click and even if you're not everyone will assume your having sex with him. If you get swayed by some bully (guys with hot rods, fighters, etc.....) everybody will think the same things as the jocks, but hen they use worst words to describe you. If you get swayed by a nerd, geek, or just a plain smart guy still keep your guard up. You can make friends by being yourself. You don't need to go with one group or the next just be friendly with everyone and submit to none. You have your whole life to figure out who and what you want to be. Graduation is only four years away and you then have a whole life to choose which if any group you wish to be a part of. The most respected of all popular people are the ones that are just being themselves.
Good luck and you are already popular with me, because I like teens that ask intelligent questions.

Be yourself. People are going to like you or dislike you. And if they dislike you, oh well, apparently they're not someone you'd want to hang out with.
This is a time when acceptance and your self image is an importance in your life. I've come to learn in my 20's...high self esteem is not giving a blank on what anybody thinks. It's not about pleasing other people, trying to impress others, always worrying about this or that.
Being popular shouldn't be your main goal...I've learned it's much better to have one honest friend who is always there for you...then 5 popular girls who are quick to talk about you behind your back and hurt you.
If I could do high school over again, I'd focus and do well in school. Go find one or two good people to become best friends with, encourage each other to do well in school, life, and help each other make the right decision...instead of wishing, envying popular people from afar...I think that's pathetic when you have so much to offer than being part of the in crowd...I'd recommend, join a club that makes a positive difference.

The first impression is everything like who you will sit at lunch with on the first day of school,and who you talk to, if their kinda nerds or popular.That will determine if you will be popular or not.First think why the "POPULAR GIRL" is popular .Probaly why is because she has the hair,make up,clothes and all the way put together.but you have to have some sort of attitude but not alot .and then what if somone says a rumor or something bad about you.You really need to get them back so you wont look bad so if you need help on that im me at Preppy_blonde_01@yahoo.com

You really shouldn't try too hard to be "popular". You may not even like the people who make up the popular crowd. This'll probably sound really cliche, but you should just try to be yourself. Even if you don't become Miss popularity, you're bound to make some friends. It's better to have a few real friends than be part of the popular crowd and not have any real friends.

Well, as a just-graduated senior, I can help you there. I was made fun of until I started getting involved with my school activities. As soon as I helped out as much as I could, my popularity sky-rocketed. I wanted to run for president of my freshman class, but I wasn't well-known or popular. So, that's when I decided to step up and get myself involved, and it helped! I was president of 6 different organizations my senior year and also voted as many other things, including Student Body President.
Good luck in high school!

I was popular all threw school and i was always nice and cared about other people and never once picked on someone because they were different. i beat the crap out of some girl once because she maid fun of a special ed student. she was there making noises and faces and i walked up behind her and smashed her face in the locker never mind what else i did to her... anyway everyone respected me even more because i stood up for what i believed in and it was so cool to have 2 weeks out of school doing whatever i wanted. by the way that wonderful girl that made fun of everyone now is 23 not married with 4 kids living on welfare and that one kid has down syndrome.
Now that i am older i wish i did not worry about that crap to much

My suggestion on how to be popular is screw it. Dont get in on that crowd, most are whores, most drink too much, their boyfriends are jerks, and there is so much pressure to make a good image. Be yourself and stay true to who you are. I was never "popular" in highschool the way you talk about it. I was studious, and crazy and made my own name. Everyone knew who i was but i never gave in to the peer pressure of trying to be in, be who you are, and hell if they dont like you then its their loss. Popular is so over rated, because you lose the essence of your very being.

I would have to say, be friends and hang around with the popular people.

I found out that the best way is to just be friendly, keep your mouth shut, dont tell your most personal secrets, and dont drink and drive!
