Fact:
The majority of girls who were thought of as "popular" during school end up having an abusing relationship that leaves them with a fatherless pregnancy.
Dear, please don't try to be popular. It is only trouble, because most people will hate you. Instead, follow a different path (it's the one I took and am still taking):
Join Clubs. Joining clubs gets you recognized fast so that people will realize who you are. My clubs: Student Council, Drama, Chamber Choir, Concert Choir, Key Club, and a Chrisian Club.
Make Good Grades. You may not be respected for it now, but you will be. By the time you get in high school, people start to respect the smart people as being more than just "nerds". You will be recognized for this in a positive way, and it will help you in the long run.
Don't go out with too many guys. Play hard to get, it helps out by the time you get in high school.
Be as nice as possible. You'll win over better and longer lasting friends if you get them with kindness, not popularity.
Wear what's comfortable, not stylish. Being a slave to fashion can make you look vain. By wearing comfortable styles (such as the long prarie skirts instead of the short skirts, a fitted t-shirt instead of a halter top that "shows all", cute flats instead of "hard-to-walk-in" heels...), you show that there are more important things in life. It will also be easier for you to consentrate on things that really matter (such as your grades).
Hair, what hair? Spending an hour before school on your hair is stupid. Yes, plainly stupid. I know a girl that gets up at five every morning just so that she can straighten her hair and it can ruin by lunch time. Take a shower in the morning and let your hair air dry (the natural look is so beautiful, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a hippie at heart). Still, though, spending hours on your hair won't help anyone, not even yourself.
Never try to have the movie star body. If you ever starve yourself, I will personally find you and beat you silly, girl! People who are anerexic are pure fat anyway. When you starve yourself, the first thing that goes is muscle, and your body replaces it with fat because it doesn't know when you'll eat next and it thinks your dying. Just stay healthy by eating right and excercising.
Last, but not least, SMILE! Nobody will mess with you if you have a smile on your face. If anything, it will be contagious. Your smile can give others smiles.
Don't try to be popular, hun. I've tried, and it didn't work. You'll be fine, though. Keep your head up high and smile!

Wow. First off, i'm christian too. Why do you want to know how to be popular? Hunny, all of the girls and guys around my school, and others, that are "popular" are known as sluts and drug addicts.
Let me tell you something. What grade are you in? Cuz the whole "popular group" ends once you get to highschool, there is just way more segregation. What I think you need to do is, just look around your school for people who have similar qualitys to your personailty, then introduce yourself and just be nice. Also, the juggalos and Juggalettes are really sweet people, if you see some one with a hatchet man necklace (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=hatchet%20man&sa=N&tab=wi) or a shirt that has a hatchetman, or a shirt that says "Insane Clown Posse ICP" or "Twiztid" you have the ability to go right up to 'em and say hi, im _________ whats your name? without getting a weirded out face in response im 15, and i've learned that trying to be popular is stupid and pointless, you're changing yourself, that's not right. so just be yourself and make friends that accept you for you!!!!!

Be yourself, and try to somehow get connecting with the "in" crowd. Be cool, and make good impressions. Join a cool school group or sport. Do things that you think popular kids do to keep their name's very well known (the positive things that is) And don't try too hard or get caught up with the wrong group. Be true to yourself do things that you want to do and things you feel like have to be known by everyone @ school. Have and Good luck!!!!!!

Umm... It depends on the school you are on. In my school, you just had to have the right friends. Luckily, those "right friends" are really nice, and will not make you do anything you do not want to do. The "right friends" are the ones that have many connections and, if you are lucky, nice people. If you befriend those, others will know you and befriend you too; hence, popularity. It will also help if you have classes with diverse kinds of people.

Popularity's overrated...The friends you have aren't really your friends and would turn their backs on you in a minute and everyone else doesn't like you because you turned your back on THEM to get the popular friends!
Hang out with your own friends and if the so-called popular kids like you, then congrats. If they don't, their loss.

i know i know.
FOR GIRLS:
be a slut, secretly, sleep with everyone in the football team but make sure that the person you slept with is the only one who knows it. flash your puppies to every geek in school and i'll be sure that they'll be drooling over you as if you were a goddess. be a member of the cheering squad, they can give you help on this.
FOR THE BOYS:
their is no one as popular as the students who shot every one else down. be it hoes or dweebs. bring a gun to school and shoot at least one person a day, but keep it secret. you'll be the talk of the town.
FOR EVERYONE:
there is no one who is being more talked about than the guy who has just comitted suicide. who's more popular now?

licen hun popularity has nuthing to do with your other school work. you dont have to be popular to have friends. be yourself eventuly someone will want to be your friend. belive me all thru junior high i didnt have many friends...but i was one of the kids who never tryed drugs or drinking. sometimes being in a popular crowd can pull you down below the infulence. try and be youself. and no matter what, you have youself and that is the only person you can trust all the way. you and your mother.
