Friendship is superior to popularity.
6th-9th grade is such an uncertain period in everyone's life, so realize that time will take care of some things. You won't be able to fix it all right now.
You need to think about what you say and do around other people. How do they react to you? Do your actions make them uncomfortable? Do you do odd things or do you try to blend in?
Since you ARE a geek, you are in the minority. Most of your friends are less intelligent than you are. Keep that a secret. Do not behave in an arrogant or know-it-all way.
Do you like to be by yourself rather than part of a group? Need to get out more and do things with the group even though you are not near the center of attention.
Is rejection a big deal for you? Probably, but it has never proved fatal. Move on to the next person and don't play the victim (poor me).

You remind me of myself when I was that age and I am old enough so that the word geek probably originated because the cool kids were looking for something new to call me and my friends. Looking back at those times I realized that the friends that I hung around with were really just as cool as anyone else and school was just a bunch of insecure people who somehow made it into the "in", group. Now the cool people are the ones that are my true friends it doesn't matter what car they drive or the clothing they like, they are cool and I love them just because of what they are inside. I know this may not help you now but you really have only four more years of this silliness to put up with and by the time you go to college you are going to be grown up and beautiful and all the insecurities that you have now will be long gone. Enjoy your life and I promise you that soon all these dynamics will change for you and you will be the one on top of the world. Good luck and give yourself a hug because you are a miracle.

Honestly, what you will look back on from High School won't be how popular you were, it will be how much fun you had with your friends! Those who are your friends now, whether you are a 'geek' or whatever, keep them. Ok, so the definition of popular is being liked by a lot of people, right? So, be liked by your peers for being a good person, friendly and open to all people, whether they're labeled a geek, 'popular' or any of those ridiculous stereotypes. Just be you! You'll be happy in the end :)

Well I've became popular just by socializing as much as possible with new peoples and comerades at school. The key to that is just being yourself and rejoice of who you really are. Well my way as u see is communications and care about others... Help people as much as possible, cheer them up, listen to others when they need help whoever they are (not if its something like rebellious or gambelings ect), make friends... But I didnt do these things on purpose. It just came and I was the new girl and the nerd type or a loser... So I dont know if it'll work for u. Everyone got their own way. But remember that popularity is not that great trust me... Its sometimes anoying and totaly frustrating. People can know suddenly what you dont want them to know... It can be something embarassing like having a zero on your math test for the first time while all the class got a 100%... Having peoples jump on u while you wanted to be alone... And more horrible things like that that i dont really want to mention them here... Im in 8th grade too if u wanna know =P Well for me, I think that geeks ARE cool. They arent that bad i mean... Everyone has theyre weak points and all right? U cant b perfect... Most of the popular girls or guys just forgot of who they where and goned far if u know what i mean... Anyway.. Good luck ;)

Firstly, be confident. Secondly, don't just act nice, be nice. (Nobody likes a person who gossips, or a backstabber.) Try on different clothes and buy some clothes that look good on you and make you happy, not what everyone else is wearing. Try different styles of makeup than you normally use. Maybe you could try out a new hairstyle, or experiment with your hair (glitter, clip-ons, extensions, temporary dyes, streaks, and so on). You may not be the most popular person in school, but if you have a good outlook on life and and are loyal and trustworthy people will want to hang out with you. Remember, popularity can be fun, but it's not everything, especially when you leave school. I was pretty much a bookworm all throughout school and enjoyed it.
Anyway: Good luck, honey!

First of all, are u ready to be popular? Do you really want all that attention and if u do can u maintain that for the rest of ur " high school " years? Being popular means u have to always act, look, and be "cool", which sometimes can be at the least difficult, mean, fake, and ungenuine.
So here are some tips, coming from myself who was the most popular guy in school. I knew everyone in the five surrounding counties and they all knew me. In order for you to be cool you have to be yourself but just a little bit better. You have to be a little funnier which is difficult for a lot of people but its really easy. You could start by watching or listening to the latest movies, shows, music, etc.., and steal some of the funny sayings in them, or a little sarcasm might work. Whatever u choose being funny never means putting other people down, cus eventually that ain't funny, and makes you look insecure. Secondly, I've found that being genuinely kind and caring about other people pretty cool and so did a lot of girls, and a lot of my boys from high school think that it may be weak, but they still respect me for it. Thirdly, u gotta make ur geekiness work for you, laugh at ur self, say man i'm such a geek, part of being cool is sometimes being geeky. I got straight A's, and played sports, i'd suggest not joining the band but ironically i luv music, and wish i could play something. So here comes the most important thing, whatever u choose, u got to be passionate about it, not obsessive but really luv it, it's all about the luv. People that are passionate about things are really cool even if its geeky.
1. crocodile hunter a little geeky, but people luv him.
2. urkle geeky but genuine, people luv him.
3. screech geek still geeky bad example.
4. you know what i mean, good luck and u r already cool.

The only thing I can suggest is that you have confidence in yourself. Remember that you are an amazing person and that people would be lucky to have you as a friend. Walk with your chin up, stand up tall with good posture (shoulders back), look people in the eyes, have a firm handshake and smile! When people see how confident you are, they will flock to you. You also need to remember that 8th graders are very shallow people and are very insecure in general, so when they see you acting secure and mature, they will want to get to know you! Good luck and happy New Year!

I'm not going to give you a detailed list of things to do in order to become popular. I will, however, tell you what you should do in school.
You need to have confidence. You need to feel comfortable in your own skin and don't worry about other people's opinions.
You need your friends. Your friends will ALWAYS have your back. I know that I would be nothing without my friends.
Another thing about friends- don't just walk up to these "popular" kids and try to become friends with them. They most-likely won't like you for who you are.
Remember, Popularity isn't everything. Don't change yourself in order to be popular-it's stupid, and people will end up hating you for it.

Be inclusive. Don't succumb to peer pressure and be exclusive. Character shows good leadership. Popular people are at the top because they remember what people say, and recognize what makes each person unique. Popular people are liked because this makes everyone feel special. Your glowing reputation compounds with everyone who can shine in your presence. You give a little, they give a lot.
