Well, here is a "secret" that some people take a lifetime to learn:
To be liked, you need to LIKE. Genuinely LIKE people--all people--and that makes you a likeable person. Show true interest in others. Care about them. And don't be selective about who you like (as in liking only popular people) and don't expect people to like you in return. Just like people.
Make your goal to make others feel liked. Forget about yourself.
And please forget about the distinction between a "somebody" and a "nobody" because your goal is to think of each and every person you meet as a somebody. Make others feel important, interesting, funny, etc.
This is key: It isn't about you. It is about making others feel good. People won't remember what you say, they will remember how you made them feel.
Good luck!
P.S. You ARE a somebody, by the way. :) Please believe that and others will believe it, too.

If you are being the best person, child, sibling, friend, etc. that you can be, then don't worry about anyone else. Yes, I know, easier said than done but in the morning, you have to wake up in your bed, in your own skin. Learn to be comfortable with yourself. Again, if you are not the cause of any grief to others, let them have their ways. Don't be so available to be shunned, distance yourself from negativity. In this lifetime, we only answer to one, and He's our only judge. In the end, His approval will be the only one that truly matters. Good luck!

I bet you are in high school right? That's all you want at that age, just to be liked. Like yourself and others will follow and if they don't, you can't make them. Don't worry so much about if someone likes you, because life is just too short. Just enjoy what and who you have. Are you trying to make new friends or do you just want people to be in awe of you? If you want new/more friends, try new things to meet new people. Be the person to start a conversation.

might be that was the cause of the problem. You want to be somebody, and others didn't see anybody in you.
And you shouldn't be anybody. But you should be yourself.
Just act the way you are. Be yourself.
Then people will see someone in you, which is yourself.
If you don't respect yourself, who will ?

If you like you, you'll be OK. Besides, why are others peoples opinions of you important to you? Be a good, kind person and you'll be just fine.

smile often, always be encouraging to others, do volenteer work regularly and most importantly, be yourself! those who still shun you are not worthy of even wasting your thoughts on :)
