no no no to # 1 answer...dont do anything different.....just be yourself and enjoy the company of all your friends....when someone asks you out tell them no if this is what you want and soon enough the word will get out that you only want to be friends and it will slow down....be friendly to everyone and dont be a snob...remember just as quickly as this came upon you it can go away...dont think you are better than anyone else...give everyone a chance to be your friend and count yourself lucky that you are well liked...other kids would probably envy you but if you handle this attention the wrong way it could backfire and you could end up with no friends at all...good luck to you

Where did the "sudden fame" come from? You have to be really careful because some people just like to use popular people to boost their own popularity. And the ones that are smiling the most are sometimes the ones who are plotting for your downfall. So be very weary of these newfound friends and hold tight to your old ones. They're probably the only ones you can trust.
And as for the guys, guys love a pretty girl and most of them will make complete fools of themselves, especially in high school. What you need to know, especially if these are "studs" is that a high school male's attention span is about as long as your fingernail and when the next pretty little thing comes along, they may very well be smitten by her, as well. Use you gut on this one. If you think that a guy may have a hidden agenda (watch his eye contact, body language, conversation), keep him on your watch list.

Just try to be yourself. Don't let the popularity go to your head and make you think you are all that. People don't like snobs or those who think they are better than anyone else.
If you are becoming uncomfortable with your new found popularity, when someone "asks you out" politely tell them "no thanks" and let them know that you would rather be friends . If they ask why just tell them you are too young, or you want to wait to have a steady boyfriend, your parents won't allow it, or something that applies to you.
Don't dress down or change. Just be you but be honest and polite when turning someone down.
You never know, when you enter into High School you might enjoy the popularity and one of the guys asking you out now might be asking you in the future...if you left a good impression.

Well, shouldn't you ask yourself, (be honest now), why am I suddenly so attractive? Is it just that I have recently developed a more mature body, and do I want attention just for that alone? Haven't I always had a nice personality, good brain, big heart? Why didn't these same guys see me before?
If I were you I would stay with 'older' acquaintences until I figured out what was going on.

You're probably getting attention because you're becoming a pretty little lady. If you don't like the attention, stop fixing yourself to go to school. No make up, no fancy hair etc. Wear your glasses instead of contacts and when somebody asks you to go out, tell them you have lots of homework to do.

It is impossible to go out with every guy that asks you out, so just politely say no.
