How do you become popular???

Question

I'm new to a school and I'm not very popular. Plz don't answer "Be urself" cuz thats crap. There is a way to become popular, I just don't know how to do that yet.

Answer 1

Here are a few tips:

1. Discover a "popular group" and try to get into it, or at least hang out around the edges. When people see you with a popular group, they will subconsciously associate you with that group and viola! Miss popularity.

2. Turn on the style. Whether it's merely wearing something that's "in", toting some cool accessories (chic cell phones, ipods..etc.), or discovering a funky new side to your personality, if you stand out in peoples' minds as someone who has style you are bound to be popular sooner or later.

3. Make friends. Sometimes popularity isn't just going to fall in your lap, you have to build a crowd around you piece by piece. Go out and make a friend..then have them make friends..keep this up as long as necessary. Also, you can do extremely fun and cool things with these people to help speed up the growth of the group.

4. Be a people magnet. Smile a lot, throw out compliments, start random conversations with strangers.. Friendliness will draw crowds (just try not to be creepy about it ;-) .

Hopefully I've given you something to work with now. Good luck with your new goal!

I'm sorry to say this, but if you don't know how to be popular, and you aren't, then chances are you can't be. There are several things you could try, although there is no surefire way.
1. Wear the clothes that the popular people are wearing.
However, if you do this and have not dressed like this before, you will be labeled a wannabe and sink even lower on the social ladder.
The best thing to do instead is to wear nice clothes- I'm not saying buy a wardrobe of Marc Jacobs or anything, but if you are wearing unclean or ugly clothes people will not look further than them. Just ask your parents or make the money yourself (babysit, mow lawns, shovel snow) and buy yourself new clothes- concentrate mostly on basics, like a couple of pairs of jeans, many shirts, and a pair of sneakers. And make sure you have good hygene as well- shower at least once per day, brush your hair and teeth, and wear deoderant. And don't act or be slutty- it never works out in the end. For your clothes fitted- not baggy or tight, and for your makeup, lipgloss or chapstick will do.
2. Be nice to everybody- once you are popular you can be bitchy, but right now you have no right to be. If people don't like you, they will criticize everything and anything about you, even if it is something stupid, so don't give them anything to criticize. While you should always be nice, don't ever impose yourself on other people- if you even think you might be, stop. No one likes people who do that. If you need to, its better to eat your lunch in the bathroom then at a table where you are not wanted or your own table. That being said, it can't hurt to get involved in activities- try out for the play or tech crew, just any club. The key thing you want to do here is be realistic- you can't simply become popular. Just set your sights on something reasonable- like say by the end of the year I'm going to be part of the normal people's crew. Then, when you come back the next year, you can move higher up. The way to become part of a group is easiest when you befriend one of the people in it, and then they will most likely draw you into their group- so think who you have classes or things in common with.
3. Don't stray to far from what you are like normally, if you do so it is pitifully obvious- so always be in a comfortable range.
4. Watch some of the TV shows and listen to some of the music and watch some of the movies that your classmates do

Join the cheer leading squad, and start dating the most popular varsity football player. Make friends with all the other shallow social climbing females. Don't let yourself be seen talking to anyone who's not considered "cool" or "popular", no matter how nice or genuine a person they are. Don't make friends with anyone that is not in the correct social group, or you might risk alienating yourself from the popular kids. Be totally aloof, even rude, to anyone that's not considered "popular". After all, it doesn't matter what kind of character you have. Who needs good character, or true friendship for that matter, when you can be POPULAR?

Answer 4

The real answer would be "be yourself" but if you want to be fake and be popular there are other ways... from your personality.. to the way you dress and look. My guess is a popular girl would be really pretty with a decent personality.. Meet people who are also popular and hang within their crowd. To me.. WHO cares if your popular.. be yourself and be happy. I dont see being fake and having fake popular friends giving you a great time.. Fine real friends adn you will find your self happier then any popular girl

Answer 5

being popular doesnt mean you will be happy, there is always so much drama and stuff that happens that its not really worth it. Im a high school student now and believe me, it is so much better to be with friends that you care about and they care about you than being popular. You should do the things you like to do and dont care what people think of you. Live your life, not others.

Answer 6

DON'T BE URSELF. Ummm yep that pretty much sums it up. But if you were smart you wouldn't worry about being popular, you would think of other things to do. Find friends you can relate to. If you want to be popular be fake. But please dont be fake. Even if it hurts not fitting in just be independent and people WILL notice, trust me

Answer 7

Start a good convo. with one of the popular kids, be super friendly to! Try doing stuff to make you feel better, like getting your nails done, or trying a diff. hairstyle. Thats usually the middle/high school scene.

Answer 8

How about if you join some school activities that you are good at like singing or dancing?

Or even join cool Clubs in your new school like the drama club (if it is a popular club there)

Hope this helps... =)

Answer 9

when I was in highschool the best thing to do is be yourself and don't lie. Lie's always come afloat and you don't want to be a lying dork. And don't try to be someone that you're not. You don't want to lose yourself in the process. Just find one good friend. When you go to college you'll be just anyone else. college isn't about popularity so don't bother

Answer 10

Be yourself. The real crap is spending energy into becoming popular. There's more to life than being liked, young lady.
