I am in 8th grade too, and wehre i go to there is no use to b popular. Look, u might want to popular now, but its not worht it. Every popular person i know is a jerk. Dont be that way. Hey, i have a question. Do u have a lot of friends. I am popular at my school. Not the snobby popular, the kind of popular that is useful. I know everyone at my school, and everyone knows me. I am popular because of all of my friends, and peeole think that the other popular is what i am, but im not. Look, if u want to b popular, get to know everyone. Thats how i did it, and it was worth it. I know who i need to stay away from, and i alos know who are my real friends. GL!!!

A long, long time ago in a land far, far away known as eighth grade I discovered that the best way for a guy to become popular was to excel at sports. Unfortunately I'm not related to Archie Manning. If you don't know what your talents are then spend your time finding out. If you do then spend your time developing those talents. Either way you'll be too busy to worry about being popular and people will notice.

Speaking from someone who was popular (I grew out of it, as you will) don't focus on being popular. Don't try to fit in, be the trendsetter. Don't try otherwise you'll be known as annoying. And most importantly get good grades, you can't be popular if you get kicked out of school. But on a superficial level which at that age most are:
1. Dress Nice
2. Flirt (Do Not Have Sex because then you'll be popular for the wrong reasons)
3. Get along with everyone!

Hi Sam,
I think it's natural for you to want to be popular at the age you're at now (please don't think I'm patronising you as I was the same at your age). If you want to be popular a failsafe way is to starve yourself, spend loads on cosmetics and clothes and put out for the guys. This gets you popular. However, while you might be popular, no-one will actually 'like' you and if they do chances are most won't like you for the right reasons. You will become trapped into a life of sadness, wistfulness not to mention ill health, constantly wishing what could have been if you had only been yourself.
Be yourself. Find three things you're great at and pursue them relentlessly (EVERYONE has three, no-matter how small). Treat everyone with respect and kindness. Remain humble. Act with honour. Aim high in life and love - you deserve it. Build friendships with good people who you will still want to be friends with you 10 and 20 years hence, and who you'll still want to be friends with. Be passionate and lively. Look after your body but because you love and respect yourself, not for any other reason. There's nothing wrong with making an effort to look good, as long as it's for you. And when you look good, learn how to recognise the people that only like you because you look good. Respect other cultures and ways of life at all times. Have fun, but never at the expense of others. Learn to laugh and don't be afraid to do it in public. But most of all, be yourself.
Hope this way over the top responce helps in some small way, and good luck!

In 8th grade you should have at least 5 good girlfriends that is more important than boys to become popular, with boys in the future learn about cars most boys dream of them at any age from about 14 until they are very old learn about cars and you will be more popular when it matters.

dont worry so much about popularity. after high school that crap is over and it becomes more about what you do with your life and not what ppl think of you. when you get into high school its gonna seem really rough and theres gonna be alot pressures to do the popular thing which will lead you down the road of possibly trying drugs and getting sexually active too early. Be yourself and hang out with people you actually like. The so-called popular crowd is usually the cheerleaders and jocks, etc. The super-popularity is usually all fake people and its not as glamourous as it seems.
BE YOURSELF!
dont worry about what people think about you.. caus if they judge you and put you down for who you are.. then you dont want them as friends anyway.

look im in 8th grade to and really skool isnt bout being popular it is about being yourself. Yeah my skool has the clicks and stuff but everyone is eqaul in my skool(and it is pretty big) but just be yourself is all I can say. Also I know it sounds stupid but being popular GAY. It really is! My friends obsessed bout it and this year and now they are only popular in there heads. So just be yourself and people will like you for who you are.

Popularity isn't all it's cracked up to be. I went from class loser to popular group when I switched schools. Once I was popular I had a lot of people who knew me but no one I truley trusted. Be friends with people because you like them and get along. No matter if they are nerdy, popular, jock, etc. You will be a lot happier in the end.
