It doesn't matter how you dress or act, if no one likes or knows you, you're not going to be accepted, especially if you just decided to undergo this dramatic change.
It would seem freaky.
Such a desperate move, and everyone will notice it, and reject you.
Being "yourself," obviously hasn't helped and neither will being nice.

You should enjoy the people you have, not the people that like you for what you have. If you're generally nice to people then they will respect you and appreciate you. But if you want to stay in style their are a lot of magazines with high fashion. Maybe observe the people at the high school to see what "brands" of clothing are in. And don't cake on makeup. Some lipgloss and eyeshadow and some eyeliner will do the trick. Wavy hair is in!! Get cute layers and some pretty highlights, and grow out your hair!! Good luck.

OK, being popular is a waist of time and energy. most popular people are just stuck up snobs that only think of themselves and how many boys they can date at the same time. of course there are several different types of popular. there is sports popular, band popular, artistic popular... but the best kind of popular is being popular with your friend. i know it sounds lame, but it's the best kind of popular. high school is different then elementary school. there are a lot of popular people in high school and you don't want to get into the wrong crowd. if you have a lot of friends and you are known (by your friends) as a nice, kind, friendly person then, people will just want to be your friend for who you are and that is the best popular. as for you looks, just stick with what you have and if anyone offers or you ask for advice then take it, weather it is bad or good. it's always good to here advice.

First and foremost you have to like yourself. If you do not like yourself no one else will. people like people who are sure of themselves but not to the point of being a snob. You do not have to pay 100 dollars for a pair of jeans either. Wal-Mart has just as nice of clothing. Look through magazines and see some of the styles. You may not find the same thing to a T but you can match them close. Go out on a whim and make up your own style. Who knows it may catch on and be the next fad in your school.

Be YOURSELF. If you want to be popular with the right type of people, you need to dress the way YOU want to. Posers, not to be rude, are never going to be accepted by the right type of people. Just open up wtih people, and be friendly, and funny. I know its hard to just go up to someone and start a conversation, but if its a the right time, you could make a new friend.
For make-up, don't go dark. I mad that mistaken in 8th grade, and it wasn't good :( For clothes, don't buy alot of shirts that just have a stores logo on it, by some clothes that reflect your style and personality. Like a bright colored tee, and some sexy jeans.
Best of luck, and enjoy highschool, have fun!

Don't try to change yourself, if people don't like you for who you are they're not worth your time. However to get more friends you could interact with more people maybe ask your friends now, to intoduce you to their friends. Just act nicer, you shouldn't have to change yourself though. In high shcool someone will notice thats it's a desperate move
Popular a lot of friends can be very different
A lot of the times wen you "try" to be popular the popular girls think it's annoying!

you have to act like the popular girls @ your school and mini dresses are really cute so I would go to somewhere that sells brands like Baby Phat and Chick by Niki Hilton.If your school is kinda ghetto Filas are soo in that its not funny and if your school has more white you might like some kitten heels with round toes or ankle boots their in this season.I am pretty popular at my school and the "in crowd" is preppy so just go with the flow and I love to wear knee high boots and mini dresses they go so good together.Try to do your hair curly if its straight and straight if its curly and here are some good sites for hair and makeup.

well chica it's interesting how we all want to be loved and excepted. simply - if u want to be popular in high school:
1) wear popular brand clothes
2) make friends with other popular people
3) spend tons of time on your hair and nails
4) have a cool cell phone
5) go to all the "cool" parties
6) do not ever be caught reading unless forced
7) do not take all honors classes
8) talk on ur cell phone and text, text, text
9) run for student council
10) never be caught talking to the "loosers"
now- if that sounds like what you want to to, u should have no problems becoming popular. it's about being superficial. it's not about being yourself. this is the easiest way to become popular in like a week.
but if u want to become popular for the right reasons, consider some of the following:
1) be yourself
2) have firm beliefs of current issues (religion, abortion, war)
3) have all different types of friends
4) wear the clothes in the style that you like
5) take whatever classes you want
6) do your hair and nails however you like best
7) pay attention in class - plan to go to college
8) make the best of any situation
seriously, who is going to remember if you were popular in your high school 20 years from now? but- who is going to know if you graduated at the top of your class and went on to med school? you have to determine what is more important to you - your future or your immediate poplarity. and how you're going to gain that popularity. that's something to consider too......

Why don't you try just being "who" you are, wear what "you" like to wear, style your hair in a way that looks good on "you", and always be truthful with yourself and others. Don't laugh when someone say's something bad about someone else, just because everyone else is laughing about it. By being this way, people will realize you aren't a "follower," that you are your own person, & will have respect for you for being comfy in your own skin. Good luck

I know its hard but just be yourself. I was popular at school but it wasnt necessarily because I was the skinniest or prettiest - I was just me and I was cool with who I was!!! I think thats the most important of all, accept and like yourself for who YOU are - dont be a clone. Plus in my experience, people who were popular at school end up real losers after school has finished - go and watch The Hairy Bird movie!
