How do I become popular?

Question

How do I become popular in high school but not act slutty? I want to be popular but how?

Answer 1

Lose weight and wear better clothes.

Answer 2

What do you do that's extra-curricular? Sports is always one way, but if you don't participate in sports, my best advice to you is to be yourself, have a certain few you call friends and always be willing to meet new people. The most memorable people in high school are the ones who everyone got along with. Don't try so hard, blaze your own trail and people will notice, popularity isn't what you think it is. The flip side to popularity is that others will have these lofty expectations of you, and will assume that you're suppose to act a certain way. I know you want to be popular, but eventually you'll see that popular people get tested the most by other people who think less of you or maybe even those who are jealous of you. Then you'll be back on here asking others and myself " where do you purchase sucka repellant at?"

If you want a taste of what it's like to be popular just look at how they talk about Paris Hilton. With popularity comes public humiliation, even when you're a regular kid in high school. So sit back, relax and enjoy your anonymity. If you remember everything I told you then you'll be fine, if not then you better develop some tough skin or a whole lot of courage and energy to fight.

Good luck 2 ya!!!!!

Answer 3

Instead of trying to become "popular" try to become friends with everyone. Be friendly - smile, chat, at least look like you care about the people around you. Walk around with confidence. Being a kind and friendly person will get your further then being slutty. After all, the more people who actually like you and know you the more popular you really are.

Answer 4

Well, it depends on what you mean by popular.
If you mean the stereotypically adored type, just be kind to everyone, and you will become extremely well-liked. You could also somehow befriend the current popular students, if your looking for a quick fix.
Or, if you mean just having plenty of friends, than find out who has the same interests as you. Or, this is kind of fun, strike up conversations at random and get to know someone you just see a lot in the halls or by your locker.
Either definition will be helped by joining extra curriculars and clubs.
Hope this little drivel helped!

Answer 5

Screw being popular, If you like yourself that's what matters...do your work ...Learn everything you can....If your personality is worth noticing...friends will come naturally, don't focus on popularity focus on your work and accomplishing the most in the time you have there....You might be amazed at what happens...And where might I ask did acting slutty fit in??? That shouldn't even be an issue...you don't want to be popular with those girls anyway, you will learn they are a dime a dozen...and you don't want to get any of that on your personality anyway...Focus on your education...Good Luck and Merry Christmas... :)

Answer 7

Hey!
Here are a few tips:
--Feel good about yourself. You will have a certain glow to you that you are proud, and people will admire that.
--Change your look. Yea, I know we are supposed to be happy with how we look, but just change it. People will definately notice you more.
--Stand out. People who are popular tend to say things like 'I just want to fit in!'. Well if you fit in, then you will not be popular... you will just be part of the crowd.
--Make the first move. The best way is to become part of the popular crowd is to become friends with one of the group members. That way, she will introduce you to the group, and the popular kids will think that if you are hanging out with her, you must be cool.
--Be nice. Don't be like all those people in the TV shows that are basically bullies with makeup. People will admire you for this.
--Be yourself.

Hope this helps and happy holidays!

Answer 8

just be yourself you don't have to be popular because not everyone will know you. I was popular in middle school when i just was my self, cracke some jokes, all that with out being slutty.

Answer 9

it's really sad that being popular is so important but it is...just be yourself...but don't hurt others in the process...high school is difficult enough without adding more undue pressure...but i'm pretty certain that you're popular with the friends that you hang out with now...right?...just enjoy being young...keep your true friends near and you may not think so now, but they'll keep grounded...and you'll probably have them for many years to come

Answer 10

Stand up for yourself if you are being bullied. Make yourself noticed, do good things for people. Make sure you take pride in your appearance (but don't be slutty and overdo it) like you said. Talk to more people, and hang around with other people. Remember, good people attract good attention. Bad people, the opposite

Answer 11

Being popular isn't all it's cracked up to be. But if you really want to be popular then just be kind and don't gossip about anyone. Stay true to yourself...that is more attractive than being popular honey.
