Answer 1

You have to take a leap of faith and just start making eye contact, smiling and talking to people.

Answer 2

Just be yourself being popular isn't all that great...I would just make all the friends you can & enjoy sitting at the weird table because sometimes the weird people grow up as more responsible adults then the popular kids. I think being yourself is always best no matter what. Love yourself for who you are & try to do things to stop being shy like social events. I started doing karaoke and it broke me out of my shyness..I grew up as a shy person people thought i'd never amount to anything. Now i own my own buisness and am doing pretty well for someone my age. Don't let nothing bring you down. Just be yourself though!!

Here's the popularity formula
join a club
dress nice
smile at people you don't know
approach people you don't know
flirt with the cute guys
wear makeup
try to look like Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera
dye your hair (people will notice and compliment if the color fits you)
go out to parties
wear confidence
always try to look hot
if something embarrassing happens play it off
be able to make a fool out of yourself
dance on tables at lunch time
crack jokes in class
be friendly with the teacher
get good grades
join cheer

You need to talk to more people. I know that's hard advice to take, because my mom's been telling me that for years.
A more reasonable goal than being "popular" is being less weird. Being popular is like being CEO: there's a limited number of spotw available. I'm going to look into my crystal ball (which has really random reception) and take a guess on what you might need to work on, appearance-wise. I still have trouble with a lot of them.
1. Hygiene. If (God forbid) you don't use deodorant, shave your legs, use dandruff shampoo, or make some effort to control your acne, you're in trouble. Sorry, but you said you sit at the weird table, and people with poor hygiene are automatically weird.
2. Try to keep up fashionably, just a little. Don't chase every trend, don't wear anything that you feel uncomfortable in, but try to choose clothes that generally follow what most other people are wearing. Nothing that looks bad on you, or rides down your butt (a tragic mistake of the fashionable set), but if modern clothes terrify you on principle (my own situation) consider taking some risks.
3. Do something with your hair. Bangs are hard to pull off today, unless they're long enough to gracefully frame the sides of your face. Long hair is easiest to take care of, since you don't have to trim it constantly, but if your hair is short and boxy, you might want a playful crop.
4. Don't go nuts. Less makeup is more. Fads don't last long because they're usually stupid. Exotic looks are hard to pull off. Be careful.
5. Don't talk people's ears off. One minute is a good limit for anything you contribute to the conversation. If someone else says something, listen attentively and reply, saying something that has direct bearing on whatever they were talking about. Never hijack a conversation. Topics to watch (since you'll naturally have a lot to say about them) are your hobbies, your family, and your psychological makeup. They're not off-limits, just keep whatever you have to say short, and don't repeat yourself.
6. Most important, be considerate, attentive, trustworthy, caring, and ethical. That will get you a lot farther in life than anything on the outside. People who look good have an edge, but unless they have the personal merit to earn others' respect, it won't last.

Answer 5

Well you need to make friends with the 'weird' ones and start your own 'clique'. No reason to make yourself a slave to the 'in' crowd, because they are probably so used to being worshipped they are shallow and cruel, especially to newcomers. Be popular with yourself and the people you live with first. Always listen when you have time and really give sh**. Never say ugly things about others or spread gossip. If you have to tell, only tell the person who needs to know so they can do something about it. And ALWAYS keep your promises. It'll take a few months, but eventually you will start to feel the circle of your influence expanding. But NEVER compromise what you believe in. You can be polite and still be true to yourself.

Answer 6

well im one of the people that sit at the "popular" tables but for me to get into the groups that im in now i was just me im a very outgoing person i play sports try my hardest to do well in school and just do wat ever i want to do i wear stuff that makes me stand out and jsut be ur self and people will be drawn to u cuz i know me and my friends hate people that are fake so dont be fake and be flirty with guys but dont be easy thats a big mistake and also just join different things like music learn to play sax or guitar cuz there classified as cool instruments and join lots of sports like me and my friends play rugby soccer volleyball basketball hockey badminton

just find sumthing that ur good at and then ull find friends that are interested in the same things that u are and then u wont be sitting at the losers table for much longer

p.s dont change who u are to be who ur not

Answer 7

well, It's hard to make an impression with it being the middle of the school year and all. You can start fresh next year by trying to wear better looking clothes and be more talkative. I know its easily said and hardly done. But next year when school starts, there might be new kids starting school that are looking for friends too. Try to go to the mall and look for nice clothing. this might not help much but good luck

Answer 8

If you want to have friends you need to talk to people. If you are really shy just start with asking about an assignment, then work your way up to real conversation. Maybe if there's a name brand clothing store that people at you school shop at you could get something from there. Just basically you need to talk to people that aren't weird

just don't lose your own identity, be yourself no matter what

Answer 9

You need 2 materials and so so skills in Art (drawing) in order to do this. 1 you need a box. 2 you need a pen. And three draw a face on the box, preferably a smily face (like walmarts logo). During lunch time take the box with you and start talking to it like it is a real person. Than start arguing with it. Than as a final act start beating the crap out of it like your fighting for your life. I guarentee after that incident you will be popular for days...DAYSSSS

Answer 10

The best way to be popular is not to try too hard to be popular. People are drawn to confident people. Confidence is the biggest key and it always will help you in all aspects of your life.

When I was in school I always liked this quote "Always be yourself. The people who mind dont matter, and the people who matter dont mind." The best thing you can do is be yourself and be confident about who that person is. People respect people who don't care what others think about them. We respect people who are original and don't follow the crowd. We admire people who are confident and look up to people who can be themselves without worry. People also like people who are mytersious - if you seem not to care what people think about you - people will wonder why you don't care what you think and you will be intriguing to them.

Answer 11

I was the same way in high school...what i did to get over my shyness was just walk over to the popular table sit down ...strike up a conversation like you know your ****! I gets easier over time...just remember you wont be around most of these fools most of your life so why not use this as a way to come out of your shell
