I want to be popular. Its not that I want to own the school, I just want to have cooler freinds and hang out with the cute guys and actually have a social life. I have read like 100 guides on how to become popular in all, they all say the same things.
1.Be clean, smell good, have long shiny hair
2.Be outgoing and funny
3.Be and attractive person, inside and out
4.Be confident
5.Be fit, in shape
6.Be nice to everyone
Not to sound conceited or anything but I am all of those things, so what else can I do? I mean, all the girls who are like this are popular already, so why am I not?

Don't worry about popularity. People are gonna think your a snob and talk behind your back more than usual! If you have friends, chances are, you are popular on your own top 10...!

Just be yourself and talk to the right people. But I have to tell you popularity isn't everything. I've been is the spotlight since middle school and it's worse than being ignored. Most pf the people that you'll meet are shallow and truly have no lives. But if you truly want to be popular then just talk to the right people and get yourself noticed. Be nice but don't let everybody walk all over you and be very smart. I know that I've seen many people fall into peer pressure just to fit in and now their lives are like hell. Be yourself and don't change who you are just to please somebody else because I promise you that most of them wont change for you. Also, know who your true friends are because they're the ones who will always stand beside you, behind you, and in some situations in front of you.
And all that stuff you heard from other sources just forget it all and then only worry about # 2 and 6. They'll take you a long way in quantity and quality of friends.

#'s 1, 5 & part of 3 are STUPID! 1 is stupid, becuz you shouldn't have to be primped to be popular. Sure, no one likes to hang out w/ someone that doesn't bathe, but some people can't buy good clothes or take showers every nite. (I don't know why, but some people can't.)
5 is stupid, becuz you shouldn't have to be fit to have friends. If you do, then you don't have friends. You have wannabe-popular people that only want to be your friend becuz they think they can get MORE popular.
3 is partly stupid, becuz you shouldn't have to be attractive on the outside to make friends. If your inside is beautiful, it truly makes the outside more appealing.
So, my advice to you is to just be nice to EVERYONE & accept EVERYONE as they are. Don't be like: Eww! He wore that shirt yesterday! Or- I can't be his friend, becuz he isn't cute!
That's stupid & you're trying to be popular for the wrong reasons. â¥

Why DOES it matter? Be the person you are, not who others want you to be. If you want different friends, talk to different people. Popularity fades later in life. And what do you end up with? Having no close friends, and 50 different guys thata cheated on you.

I have known girls that were very popular but had few dates. They were so good looking and all the other things that guys did not bother. They were sure that these gals always had dates

The way to get into the 'in' crowd, is to date someone that is already there. After a few months you can break up, and you'll be popular!

Popularity is over-rated. Be the person you want to be. The people who choose you for a friend will be the ones who are worthwhile.

you just have to be yourself. believe me.. i know how u feel. my own best friend is known.. with boys.. has lots of frends I that dont even know..but jus be confident and be urself. that the best u can do.. because if u try to change urself for sum one ur not.. ppl are gonna love THAT person.. and not the real you. and see.. another reason y i think i dont really have ALOT of frends is because i have low self esteem and im not always confident in myself. but just TRY that.. and it WILL take time.. but it will b worth it! <3
