Ny advice it to seek out good friends for both academic activitis and social events.\n\nI think in the long run good friends will be far more valuable than a bit of popularity.

just remember that u are performing not 4 u to become popular but to entertain other people. i know that it's not easy to perform but the consequence is,u must perform by your heart. coz it is d heart that helps u to show your emotions..

Relax, you'll be fine.  Get involved in the things you are interested in.  Be a leader, not a follower.  Don't do stuff to be "popular" when you know in your heart it is wrong.  Study hard, play hard.  Be kind to others.  I loved high school; the best 4 years of my life!

Just be yourself.  Being popular is overrated, and at my school, the "popular" people aren't really that popular - they think they are, but the majority of people don't like them.  You're awesome the way you are.

I really wouldn't worry about trying to be popular. I remember thinking that it was really important when i was in HS (4 yrs ago) but now that I'm out i see that often the real world doesn't work like that. Prom kings and queens become fat and bald and the nerds become rich and famous. the best advice i can think of is just to be happy with who you are, be confident, and people will gravitate toward your personality.

Girl, being popular doesn't mean it'll help you to be in the elite group. Sometimes, being popular is really a hassle coz ppl will talk about how you look, how you talk, just anything about you - till you cant breath coz the privacy ozone layer is getting thinner and thinner. Besides, by being popular, sure you'll have lots of ppl who wanna hang out with you, but how sure are you that they are sincere to be your friends? Will they be there whenever you need them? Just be yourself. You have to like and love yourself before worrying if others would like you.

you should just stick with the friends you have.  As time goes by you will get to know the people in your new school better and make more friends.  Don't focus on the quantity of friends but the quality of the friends you do have.  As time passes, i promise you will have more friends as long as you be yourself and not try to hard.  BTW! Popularity is way over rated and as long as you enjoy your teen years and not worry about being popular you will be a happier person.  When you are in college and an adult you will not be friends with those people anyway and you will look back and wonder why to put so much pressure on yourself to have so many friends.  But, to help, join some clubs and participate in school activities, you will meet people that way.

Just be yourself, and follow the Golden Rule.  Middle and High School can be a tough time of life.  Just remember that in twenty years, no one will care who was the most popular student in homeroom.

hell no.......nobody cares about the popular kids after high school...its like "where are they now"......who really gives a shit in the real world.........to me being popular meant you were a puppet...whenever someone pulled your strings thats the way you went. no personality ..just sheeps being lead to their slaughter......id rather be considered a "unpopular" anyday because that meant i followed my own mind..not everyone elses...\n\npeople are so fake  its unreal sometimes.....

Be boisterous enough in class to get noticed but be laid back enough to not care about anything. Be cool, baby.

well i like to dress up for school...idk..its fun to pick out an outfit for school, it makes you feel more confident if you know you look good("look good, feel good")  and plus, its better than rolling out of bed and throwing on sweats...dress for success =]

you are good looking.  but you shouldn't care what random strangers online care what you look like!  if you were a teen at my school you'd easily be with the "popular" girls.

I personally think you should settle for what you have all ready. Trying to get more popular might, and will probably end in disaster. \nMost popular girl in school? It won't matter a few years from now. Settle for what you have. Popularity isn't about pretty clothes, money and friends, it's about confidence. And reading your question, you don't seem to have too much confidence in yourself about this situation. Just listen to me now, stay who you are, like who you are. DON'T try to be the most popular girl in school.

Although popularity may have a lot to do with it, I won my class election in junior high and became president, and I was not popular at all.  The key is to be nice to everyone and to not make any enemies.  I'm nice to pretty much everyone and have never been in a fight my whole life.  Just try applying "treat others the way you want to be treated," to your life.  It may sound a little elementary-ish, but that kind of attitude will get you far!  Good luck in your elections and you have my vote!  lol! : )

Why do you feel the need to be popular?  From my experience, being popular means your friend talk about you mehind your back, everyone who isn't "popular" hates you, and you're expected to be perfect 24/7.  It's horrible.  At the time I didn't realize it, but now, I do.  I myself became so obsessed with being perfect and pretty and popular, I started doing drugs because all my "friends" were doing them, and also wound up having to be put into the hospital for bullemia.  Take my advise, hon.  Just be yourself.  Screw what anyone else thinks of you.  Just be yourself, and do your own thing.  You'll be a lot happier if you do.

Growing up I attended 3 different junior high schools.  Each had a rewarding experience.  The first one, I had all my friends...and because of it, I clowned around to much and got poor grades.  The second school, I was lost, had no friends...but my grades were awesome!  By the time I got to the 3rd school...I learned how to be popular again by coming in contact with so many new faces each year...I really opened up and had a blast...and my grades stayed above average.\n\nGo to the new school.  Each new experience makes us a stronger individual.
