Work on your sense of humor. If you're funny you can't not be liked. But don't ask me how to get one. I was gifted with ti from the start.

Just learn how to ask people about themselves and when they answer be a very good listener and show interest in what they are saying.  People will think you are a great friend and a great person.  It's amazing what will happen.  You will become the most popular person in the group.

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.

Walk up to them, introduce yourself, and start a conversation.  Be a nice person.\n\nOptional:  Dress up nicely.

Just be you.  Even if you think that you is not cool, there is someone who is probably like you and will end up being your friend.

why do you need to be popular?!? you can have friends and be cool and not be "popular" it doesnt matter what the other girls think. if you like you and if your friends like you, it doesnt matter what the "popular girls" think!

Depending on our situation meeting people to become friends with can be very easy or extremely difficult. Clubs, local organizations activities, schools, church, libraries, book stores, gyms, jogging, parks, beach, lakes, malls, etc. can all be places to meet new people. Once you’ve met them talking and keeping the person interested is probably the most important thing.\n\nTo keep the other person interested in a conversation don't talk about yourself too much. Ask simple friendly questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Become genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nThere are lots of ways to start a conversation; keeping yourself informed on current events, staying involved in activities and keeping a mental list of good topics of discussion are excellent ways to break the ice.\n\nFor other topics to talk about you can search the internet about things that you, or the people you will be talking with, are interested in. If you like games, perhaps search for the latest information about the x-box 360 games, pc games, ps3, revolution, etc. If you like tv-shows, movies, books, pets, etc. A few jokes from time to time can also be a great ice breaker.\n\nAlso remember that body language is very important! Most people don’t even realize it but most times you’ll already have made a lot of decisions about the person by their body language and tone, before you’re more than a minute into a conversation. You want to be cool, calm, and collected; act like the person is an old friend, even if you’ve never talked to them before, and make sure to look them in the eye. Instead of focusing on how uncomfortable you feel, prepare yourself by thinking of the issues that interest you most and what you would like to discuss about a particular subject. A little preparation can go a long way.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguements they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are Very Few 'good' arguements. "The only way to get the berst of an arguement is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerly.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\nIf you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful today as it was when it was written.\n

Being the new girl is really hard, especially when you've been hurt by friends at school. Remind yourself that it takes a friendly attitude to make friends and that not all people are out to hurt you! Instead of striving to be popular, be yourself instead! If you want to meet friends, join after school activities or clubs that spark your interests. Good luck!

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.

Wow...you must popular.  No matter what you say, it's going to hurt.  Just be nice and say "you are cool and all, but let's be friends!".  Then never call them.

i think you need to find that one friend that you can act like a fool with, and slowly hang out with them in public places, then see if yuo can add another, and slowly go from there, and about the who aniety thing, i think you'll over come it, and i wish you the best of luck in everything that you do becuase you sound like a really cool person, and i hope you find your place, cuase you sound like you deserve it, teehee
