Be yourself. If people don't like you, oh well. They don't matter. Love yourself.
What point is it to pretend to be something you're not. Then even if people like you it's not the real you. Pointless.
Be true to yourself. Other people only matter as much as you let them. School doesn't last forever. One day you'll be out of high school & these growing experiences will help to make you who you are.
Confidence comes from within. You need to think positive, feel good about yourself & then that positive energy will reflect outward on others & draw them to you.
Be strong.
Peace out.

First of all if you can't write or speak in full grammatical sentences than it's no supprise that you might get called names. I'm not trying to be mean but you gotta work on that, people don't want to hang out with dummies. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
The thing is when you act as if you are something your not, and the truth comes out (which it will eventually) then you are forever labed as untrustworthy and a liar. All the stuff that seems to make people popular in high school are the things that make people look down on them after high school. So the answer is to be yourself, popular or not, because in four years none of that will matter. That is unless you have painted yourself as the picture of the guy who "gets around", which real women (not girls) are not attracted to. The best advise I can give to anyone in high school is ......to be yourself and ..... wait for it........ High school seems like a huge deal when your there, but it is such a small part of life that you'll look back and think "Thank god that's over!" And this is coming from someone who was considered one of the 'pretty, athletic, popular girls'. We all hated high school and the social pressures. And you'll find that you'll be happier with youself (which is really what matters) if you are true to yourself and who you are. The thing is, when your an adult and on your own you'll find that it's how you feel about yourself that is exuded and seen by other people (which is attractive); and if you do things to hurt that confidence than you will hurt yourself for years after high school. The point is if you like sports than like sports, if you like country music than like country music, if you like being shy than be shy, if you like talking than talk, if you like science than like science.... I think you get the picture. Everyone finds friends and niches (and with that ,confidence) when they are doing things they enjoy and others enjoy as well. Like I said , wait for it...your time will come. F*** those people who have nothing better to spend thier time here on earth doing than belittling other people. Don't become one of them, fight the power of the so called "cool kids". Be you, be happy. Hope this helps.

Lincoln said no one is smart enough to be a successful liar. Even a young child can sense a fake and mistrusts them. Savvy young adults instinctively know that faking it is not making it, that it's a show of fear and lack of confidence and dishonest besides. It's a way of pushing other people away. You might as well have pointed ears and say "greetings, earthlings."
It's really less work to be your real self. It's honest, and you won't have to be ashamed of the fakery, and you won't have to remember what the latest lie was. And anyway, the REAL work you're supposed to be doing is discovering who you really are and helping that grow and develop. Faking it just buries that, postpones that, and creates really awful problems later, like drug use and bad marriages and damaged kids.

Go back to being who you really are. When you pretend to be something other than yourself, you try so hard to build a persona that you do not match what anyone likes.
No matter what people say, what they really like are natural characteristics. Faking characteristics never works.
Once you start acting like yourself, people will soon forget why they did not like you before.
Take care,
Troy

Feeling insecure is quite a normal thing for a teenager. Be honest with yourself, and ask yourself which changes you should make in order to make you feel better about yourself. I assume you now know that faking does not make you feel better, so just stop...You do not have anything to lose....Good luck..

Be yourself or kill your self, psychologically that is. If there is something that scares you keep doing it until it does not scare you anymore. I believe that we can rewire ourselves. But be careful. There may be unforeseen consequences.
Philo is right, you can't fake it. So follow my advice, and be it. I am not telling you you can fake it, I am telling you you can program yourself to be it.
Who you gonna trust kid, me, a guy who is your friend, someone who is not so insecure and petty that he must resort to insulting grammar, or Mailman Bob, a dude with a name that screams pedophile?
