No one? Are u sure? If u have apsolutly no friends, then u can do this, but if u do u might b losing some of the best friends. Well, my advise is . . . . ARE U INSANE?!? Look, i know everyone that is popular in my school. and they are the biggest jerks in my life!!!!!!! Dont be one of them. It is so not worth it. I am popular, but not the popular u are thinking of. I am popoular for having so many friends. I know everyone in the school, and if i dont know them i get to. Just get to nkow everyone, and just talk to them. They should lighten up to u, and b your freind. If u get to know a lot of people u are popular. Not the snobby popular, but the best kind! GL!

Oh how I don't miss high school!! =) Honey...there is no way to become popular. I think that's actually something you need to be born into! It totally sucks. I remember. I was never Miss Popularity in school and I always wanted to be...SO SO badly! You really just need to be yourself and be comfortable with being yourself! I was always so jealous of the popular girls who were sleeping with all the popular guys! Well...I was my little quiet self all through school and wasn't part of the "in crowd" at all. By my senior year though...I was friends with all the popular guys! They liked me because I was me. Not a s!u+, not a phony, two faced "popular girl"...just...me. =) That's a good feeling. You'll be in the same boat someday too! Once you get out of high school...none of that stuff really matters anymore. You don't have to fit into certain cliques or worry about being phony to certain people. You just be you. Some people may not like you because they are uncomfortable being them. They don't like to be alone and have to surround themselves with other fake people. You'll be fine!! So smile! Nobody likes a mope! =)

Girl you came to the right person. Have you tried making yourself noticable (not in a bad kind of way). If I were you I would try to make friends first. Popular means you just know alot of people. You should be more open with other people. Im not telling to act fake but you shouldn't try to b liked. You should yalk to new people and hang out with different kinds of people. Wear makeup and try new things. You really shouldn't be shy. Just tell yourself your a star and act like one.

hey, what does being popular mean to you....i have realized that popular people....are the most selfish people and never have true friends... there are more poeple who hate them....they bring attention to themselves....but their life sucks, they are weak and dont know what to talk about other than themselves....I move a lot, so even if i become a little popular (by popular i mean i have frinds and everybody knows me)...i move to a new school (family moves alot)....anyways, then i be myself, i talk to everybody nicely, smile all the time, and help others....thats just who i am....and before i know it people call me to hang out with me and invite me to places.....its really easy! The worst thing to do is to try to be popular....u just make a fool of yourself in front of everybody if u do that....but when u r urself...u get true friends, and u only find people who like u.....no one has the courage to fight with u...and most of all if they like u for who u r...u get CONFIDENCE....and self confidence=a happy life.....so u know what DONT WORRY....and forget about being popular....! it will take time but BE YOURSELF....my life proves it that it works!

Well, think about it. Do you like yourself? If not, then maybe it's time you made a few changes in your life. That way you'll like yourself and possibly other will, too. But, if you do like yourself, then it shouldn't matter what other people think of you. If you're happy with the way you are and how you come across to other people, then it's their loss for not wanting to be your friend. If you change who you are just for the acceptance of others, then they probably won't even be your true friend in the end anyways. Just wait until someone comes along who'll want to be your friend for who you really are. Hope I helped.

Still be yourself, but be a bit more outgoing. Try to always be the one to make the first move. Talk to the new kid. Help out the distressed girl. Don't diss anyone (you might be burning your useful bridges). You'd be surprised how far little acts of kindness can take you. Be famous for the good stuff. Not catfights and crashing parties.

I hate to be rude but youre very stupid to care what people think of u. Someone will want to be your friend if youre yourself. Stop giving a crap what everybody thinks!! Dont try to be popular. Almost all popular people are hated because theyre so caught up in themselves. I cant believe you would want to be a self concieted snob like that. Im myself and yea people do hate it but i dont care cuz i have friends!!

This is something everyone wants,to be popular! You probably arent giving yourself enough credit.The most important thing to do is to find something unique that makes you ,you!The other thing I always try to do is ..no matter how you really feel,always hold your head up high ,look people in the eye when you speak,and smile.It may sound stupid but it works.Its like you "trick " yourself into believing that you are someone who others want to be around,and eventually ,it really happens!So ,be patient and remember,SMILE!! ALANNA

Well, you should like the way you are. Tell yourself all the good things about yourself. But if you still want to make friends, be nice. Help people when they need it, give compliments, talk to other people about random stuff, find someone you think you would want to be friends with, and be friendly with them.. Good luck!

I understand wanting to be popular but the only difference between popular people and not is ... well nothing except 1 thing, popular people only care about themselves and their group(hardly) and they wouldnt ever care what happened to the others around them.Do you want to be like that?
