All right. Well, a few time ago, I wasn't that good looking, I had too few friends, no one minded me, I was definetely out the "popular group".
But, after I cut my hair and changed my appearance, I started to look better.
After that, everybody else started to look at me, boys started to look for me and say I'm beautiful, girls want to talk to me and the popular students are now my friends.
I mean, now I am popular.
No, I didn't change my appearance to be popular, I did it to feel good about who I am. I know popularity is not that important, I think intelligence is much more attractive.
I am nice to people, even though I know they are with me because I'm popular now.
I mean, why teenagers are so superficial? Can't they like me for myself, not for my clothes or my pretty face?

Do you think it could be that they like you now that you are confident and self-assured as opposed to liking you because you look better?
You sound great for being so cool with everyone, aslong as you are nice to everyone it doesn't really matter!
Hopefully now you are popular, you can be extra nice to those people who are still judged cos they aren't good looking.

People will like you for you, not for who you have become. Don't get me wrong or anything. But you are acting a little over confident. I know looks change a personality and so does material things. Teenagers are just going through a phase that last only 2-5 years. Once they get into the real world they find their identity. You need to find yours! Yes, I agree with you personality and intelligence are the better thing about people, but its you! I have changed many times over the past 10 years and found that people actually are drawn to me for who I am, but looks don't hurt. Out of the bunch, its the guys and gals that really want to know me for my listening skills! Most people want to talk, most people never want to listen, that's whats wrong wtih teenagers! They always have a mouthful and never an earful. It's be be both. A pretty face and a real person. Remember your looks can only go so far.

It comes to a point in your life when you don't want to have people around you who are selfish and superficial .When all that people is gone you will realise that the rest of the people are your friends, friendship is a gift , don't waste it with people who don't deserve it.
But remember when you were not so popular and people was ignoring you , surely you know someone that deserves to have you as a friend because nobody else can see a good person behind the "ugly face"
Have true friends is one of the best things , choose them wisely and they will be with you for a long time.
Good luck

It is part of growing up darling. I always say this to my two nieces, I think sometimes they too, can have problems like this. I always tell them to be themselves. Be true to you. It only matters what the people who LOVE you say. You do not need validation from anyone who does not value you for you. Your true friends will ALWAYS stick by you in thick and thin. No matter if you want to change your looks 1000 times, or even if you moved away. Don't listen to the immature kids. They will grow up soon!! (we hope). You sound like an intelligent young lady yourself, at least you can say that you understand what this word means!! That means a lot in today times!!
All the best sweetie!! I am sure you are going far in your life!!
Love

Thats teens for you! Honestly though, I reckon its your new attitude they are responding to not your new looks. You are feeling better about yourself and thats what made the difference. If you had felt that way before the change in your looks they would have liked you anyway. But now that you are feeling happier within yourself, thats what has caused the change in their reaction to you, though being attractive is a bit of a bonus I guess! lol.

They say beauty is only skin deep... but that's what folks see first... and it takes time to see whats underneath the skin. so yes people are superficial initially.. and many are superficial for life unfortunately!
