I know to be a popular person at school is so fun, but not a big problem if not.
more popular, get more extra-activities, for guy, join some sport activities. study hard and get high grade. gatting around with others and more talking (conversation), have some humours or funny stories, it will help you more popular.

i was there too. 7th grade was probably one of the worst years of my life. my self confidence was pretty much negative zero and i would look at the popular kids and wonder why in the world i couldn't be like them, look like them, dress like them. i was trying to figure out who i was while at the same time trying to change myself to be someone else. it was awful. you have to believe me though that it gets SO much better. I'm a freshman in high school now and i finally reached the other side of that dark tunnel called middle school. as you get older you start to realize who you are and what you believe in. you've probably heard before the saying that all the brainy geeks and unpopular people go on to become millionaires. well that's great and all but you want to know about what you're supposed to do now. for one thing don't become a stalker lol. i did that to one of the popular girls and i regret it because it made me feel worse, comparing myself to her all the time. God made you absolutely perfect and you just have to trust that he knew what he was doing. make friends with people who encourage you and don't be afraid to smile and look people in the eye. if you have confidence in yourself, people notice. Find something that you really enjoy doing and throw your heart into it. For me that's playing the french horn and fencing. Not exactly what anybody would call popular but it makes me happy so it doesn't bother me. I don't know if you believe in God but if you do then take this to him. he understands what you're going through better than anybody in the world. You aren't alone in feeling unpopular. even the popular crowd doubt themselves- it's just a stupid part of middle school that everybody deals with and then moves on with their lives. i really feel for you and i wish you all the best.

Hey being popular isn't everything! If you think that only big grown up adults think that, I am only just older than you. Do you have friends who you care about and who care about you? Well that should make you feel even more popular than one of the popular people. I mean who wants to have all those friends, but have no one who they can really turn to when the going gets stuff??? Just stick it out with your friends, be confident and eventually everyone else will like you too.

popularity is the least of your worries if you concentrate on doing well in 10 years you will be a succesful person when all of the others who are popular will either be unemployed or in dead end jobs on the roadto nowhere (sorry to sound like i am giving you a lecture)

be polite, and smile at people when they make jokes. Stick up for other people when a teacher picks on them, or blames them for things they didn't do. And when you see someone getting bullied, stick up for them as well.
