I mean, what's the best way to become popular? How do you have to behave to make people love you? And for popular girls, what's your behavior towards the guys?

Firefly, being popular means squat. I know that is hard to believe when you are at that age, but to be comfortable with yourself and all that you stand for and believe in is what makes you YOU. Do not worry what others say or think. One good friend is all you need in life.
Your answer to my question about what song describes you best saddened me, people should not feel so alone. Being alone can be a wonderous thing, but feeling alone is not what you as a teen should be feeling. Will you email me? I'd love to chat with you (do not mind the crazy broad with the collar on, she is harmless, lol) brazenone2002@yahoo.com

Yeah, there is actually. The secret is that popular people are just lucky normal people. Sure they meay be popular ( based on looks, wealth, social standings) but they're still people too. They have their own problems, and on top of that they have to smile through it all as if nothing is happening since all eyes are on them. Being popular isn't all that great, but it's really just a factor of luck. There's no magic potion that you can take to make you instantly popular, so just be yourself around everyone and get to know some people, join clubs, etc. Just put yourself out there, but most importantly don't forget to be yourself.

I can tell you what to do, but it's not fun.
Popularity in high school is based on not being who you are, which should scare the heck out of you.
I wish that I could communicate to you how INCREDIBLY UNIMPORTANT it will be in the rest of your life.
Popularity is a job, none of those people like each other at all, though they pretend to. It's all an act. No one really likes popular people, and most really hate them.
Looking back I'd rather have had real friends than been the Prom Queen, which I was.

It really depends on who you re trying to be popular with. If you are talking about teenage/high school type of situations, then you have to try to be seen as cool by whoever the already established "in crowd" is. In more adult situations, you have to learn to play politics- especially in work/office environments.
Ask yourself what you really want. Remember that its difficult, if not impossible, to be liked by everybody; some people will just dislike you because other people do like you. My personal advice is to concentrate on being liked by your friends, because they are the ones who like you for who you are. If you have no friends, then just observe for a while and find the people who you think are cool and make friends with them. If you worry too much about being popular with everyone, you won't really be able to be yourself, and you probably won't be very happy.
Good luck.

to be popular, first you have to buy all your clothes at abercrombie, hollister, or aeropostale. and you shoes have to be nike shox. and you have to have long hair and wear it up in a ponytail with a bow. and your jeans have to be really tight. and your socks have to be plain white and the kind that you can't see cuz they don't stick out of your shoes. and you have to cake on your makeup really thick. and if you are flat chested, you have to buy a paded bra. and you always have to have a boyfriend and make out with him the first day you know him. and then dump him in a week and find a new boyfriend. and no one will like you unless you are pretty and act cool all the time and you're not allowed to be yourself. and you have to be mean to all the unpopular girls all the time!
just kidding!
doesn't sound like fun does it? thats how the "popular" girls at my school are. why do you want to be popular anyway? popular is just a word and it usually means you are stuck up and mean. if you want more friends, just be yourself. but i think you are either jealous of the popular girls, or you have low self esteem. and thats ok cuz i'm always jealous of the girls that have boyfriends, but then i tell myself if they are making out in 7th grade they will be pregnant before they graduate high school and they are the ones that are going to screw up their own lives. just be happy with who you are and be nice to people and they will like you for who you are. and you don't need a boyfriend to be cool. that is what a lot of girls think, but its not true.
best wishes!

There is no scientific formula for becoming popular...You just have to be yourself and who you were made to be I think....To maybe boost things a bit, become active in different things that others are involved in, be sociable, outgoing, etc...BUT keep in mind that if people like you and dig you for the true person that you are, then that is the real reward...

The best things to do are to be yourself. Be confident in yourself. Don't be a follower of the crowd. Treat all people as you would expect to be treated yourself. Avoid obviously troublesome situations and believe what you hear about drugs, alcohol and tobacco being bad for you. Think about your future starting now.

honestly... i wouldn't know. but all the popular people are outgoing, beautiful, loud, and not really shy. you have to make people notice you and then when they see who you really are then a lot of people will start hanging out with you and you would be popular! i hoped i at least might have helped.... lol

Popular people get popular by doing something nobody else does. Like kissing a freak, dancing really dirty, etc.
Basically doing bad stuff.
