Popular - two types.\nIf you want to be in the popular cliche you've got to have the hottest looks and everything. All popular people are in on the gossip. \nIf you want to be liked, then be really nice to everybody. \nThere's a huge difference. The first one, everybody wants to be you but they still think you're a total bitch. The second one, most people like you except for some who think you're like a sucking up person or whatever.

Hey, I'm a nerd too (at least in high school I was LOL) but I think I've learned a thing or two since then so here goes...\n\nFirst of all, unless you want to be a laughingstock, I wouldn't recommend springing yourself on a group of people in public- they will all be together and you might end up the butt of the joke.\n\nProbably the best thing to do is figure out what it is about that group of kids that attracts you to them-- is it just because they are popular, or do you have an interest in common with them?  If you really have something in common, then try getting close to one or two of them by sharing your common interest... if you make friends with one, chances are the group will pull you in.\n\nBut if you're just wanting to be with them because they are popular and they look like they're having more fun than you are, maybe you should join a club or group where you can meet people you can really relate to.  It's the difference between having "friends" and "acquaintances."\n\nGood luck!

This is from past experience:\n\n1. Make sure you know where all of your classes are. Getting lost is terrible. \n \n2. Don't hang with the druggie crowd. It may seem popular now, but you will regret it in years to come. Because, a)The popular kids will have done well in school, gone on to college and made something of themselves, while the druggies are all dead or living on welfare and sleeping in Appalachia-style trailers. b)You have so much more to give to the world.\n\n3. Study. You will reap the rewards one day.\n\n4. Try some extracurricular activities like music, French club, etc... You will get so much out of these positive actions.  \n\n5. Take pictures of you and your friends and teachers. It will be neat to look back on your old life when you are older. \n\n6. Keep your chin up. You are special. You deserve the best. Don't settle for less. Believe in yourself. Try try try. You may be in 6th grade and going to a new school, but it doesn't mean that you are less than anyone else. I understand that you are leaving all you know and going to have to meet new friends, new teachers and get around a new school. I've done it, others have done it, and you can do it. Be resolved. Be firm. Walk proud. Start school in August with an "I-can-do-it-attitude!" In no time you will be graduating and your first day of 6th grade will be a thing of the past.

No just be yourself, a little bit of nervousness is to be expected, most human beings are nervous with change. Even if they do not want to admit to it. However, you will have the opportunity to meet many different people. And it will not be anything like high school with all of the clicks. Make the best of it. Making friends will be easy. Good luck to you and God bless

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.

NO MATTER WHAT DO NOT fall into the popularity death trap! Being popular is NOT the most important thing in the world! YOu will find much better friends that are normal (not popular but not nerds) than you will if you hang out with popular people. They will get into so much trouble and they're what, 12?! Take my advice from experience: popular kids are nothing but trouble! OMG I remembr the populars at my middle school getting into drugs, drinking and even... well, I don't know if you know about that last one yet, but it aint very good! Just remember this: CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY! that's the best piece of advice that I can give you. I wish I knew that when I was in middle school!

First i dont thnk you need a boy high on the "popular chain" but if you really want one just start talking tohim in halls, sit next to him in class and ask him questions like "what is the homework again?" or "when is class over" then when you become more friendly start hanging out with him outside classes, who knows maybe he'll ask you out first!

Get involved in some sort of club or committee in your school.  Volunteer in a clothes drive or something.  You are gauranteed to meet some friends that way.

Be yourself, that's the best advice.  Don't act like someone your not just to get friends, people will eventually come up to you and talk to you and if you are yourself, you will make friends easily.  Starting high school with no friends is tough, but you'll get through it, I had to go to 4 different high school and I didn't know a single person in any of them, but now I have some life long friends and don't ever regret it!! \n\nSo just be yourself and the friends will come to you!! \n\nGood luck

Be yourself. It is hard to be new in a school. It is hard to make new friends. But it will happen. Find people that share your interests. Don't ever try and be someone your not because your not being fair to yourself.  I have always told my children that if you have one true friend then you are far luckier than someone that is in a crowd and not able to be themselves.  Have confidence in yourself, and always be true to yourself. Good luck at your new school.

As a freshman (Class of 2009), I know what it's like to enter in a new school recently.  At my high school (Bakersfield Christian High School, Bakersfield, CA), I learned three things this year: 1) get to know people because the people you may hang out with might be famous one day [a.k.a. make yourself available], 2) manage your time wisely; don't procrastinate or the homework today will nip you in the butt tomorrow & 3) get active in school activites.  Don't be a loner that's againist the world.  Participate in activities that you love, may it be sports, drama, music, etc.  Just go out there and give it your all, because you only have 4 years to make a name for yourself...

Wow, it's you again. I am a popular girl. I can help you just invite them to do things, give them stuff, help them on homework, play with them, and have fun with them. Then, they will see how creative you are!

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT succumb to peer pressure! drugs, bad influences, you will be offered many things in High School- be careful.\n\nSchoolwork-\n\nStay on schedule, because once you are behind, it is very difficult to get back on it. When it's a choice between homework and friends, make sure school comes first. You always have the summer for your social activities.\n\nBoys- \n\nThey will respect you if you make yourself respectable- you may not have as many dates, but all dating brings is heartbreak, 9 times out of 10. Love can wait. =) If you end up with a serious boyfriend, though, follow your head and not your heart. This is much easier said than done, but you must do your best.\n\nOn a lighter note, you will make good friends, sometimes lifelong. Live for the little moments that will never come again.\n\nOne last thing-\n\nThis is the last chance you will have to experience the thrills and chills of being onstage, as well as the sheer joy of being a child. I know you are very grown-up, all teenagers are well on their way to adulthood, but you're not there yet. Enjoy the last remnants of your childhood while they last. =)

Being popular isnt the best thing. But my advice would be, just be nice(helpful) to everyone, popular or nonpopular ppl. Everyone will like u, and that's better than being popular.
