Popularity

[Britvic]

Hello guys!
I'm not a very popular guy at school but I want that to change.
Does anybody know how I can become more popular?
All good advice will be highly appreciative and I will add to your reputation when I can. :P

[Dudey!]

Everyone is how they are for a reason, you don't need to change, just be yourself.

[dirrty]

go out with the popular ****

[,Jess,]

There's no point trying to fake what you really are because people will just see through you

[Azza]

just talk and go bout with "popular people" but just be you. ^^

[dirrty]

ur born into certain groups

if ur looks get u into certain things. if ur pit ugly then u wont get anywhere.

also, if u have friends in the popular gang, hang around with them and make friends with everyone else. whats the point anyway? hang around with ur true friends.

[zak-x]

* Don't be hyper. People will quickly get annoyed with you and not want to hang out with you.

* If you don't drink, stick it. Be able to accept that and, if necessary, talk to the person about it. You don’t have to be friends with everyone, just handle the situation with respect and courtesy.

* Talk to your parents about the changes you are making in your life, and explain your reasoning to them. They are likely to be concerned that their child is acting differently.

* If you have curfews or rules that frustrate you and you think hinder you from doing the "popular" things, remember that even the coolest kids have parents and rules. Hey, give your parents a break once in awhile for trying- use that Friday night at home to catch up on magazine reading or even homework.

* Be a good student. It is a common misperception that if you’re doing well in school, you’re a nerd. You can be popular and keep a high grade point average.

* Leave some time just for you. Once you are popular, you may be busy with a lot of friends and activities. Make sure you still have time to be alone and reflect.

* One rule is "never be embarrassed". Embarrassment shows weakness. It's okay to show emotions, but not weakness. Let those awkward moments pass you by like they're nothing but another era of your life. (Extra Comment: It's not necessarily bad to be embarrassed - it may happen at some point whether you like it or not. But the way you handle it can be even more important than what happens. Accept whatever happened, focus on how to avoid it, and forgive and forget. It will happen to everyone in time. Either way, you learned something for yourself.)

* Don't care so much--other people can tell if you're trying too hard.

* Never underestimate the importance of good grooming (shower every day; use deodorant), physical fitness, and a nice, sincere smile. This holds if you're a punk, jock, geek, goth, prep, or anything beyond or in between.

* Don't just dump your friends that you already have. You can be friends with any one you want to. But if you decide to dump your friends, maybe you should talk to them and explain that you feel like you are growing distant from them, and that your interests have changed. You don't need to completely write off your old friends to have new ones. Just don't blow them off. That's mean and will jeopardize your future friendships. If they see you treating someone badly, there is no guarantee you won't do that to your next friend.

* Get a MySpace page or a page on bebo, if you feel the need, and learn something new. But if you want to do something risk-free, that has no chance of giving out information about you that is deadly in the wrong, and probably present hands, you can do one of many things. Some good ideas are keeping a scrapbook or diary, getting the emails of close friends and family and dishing it out to them... Then people who might have tried to harm you with information that wasn't theirs will be replaced by people who are there to let you open up and trust them!

* Tea tree oil is a brilliant way of dealing with teenage skin problems. Look out for products which include it as an ingredient, or simply use pure tea tree oil (undiluted) and dab a little onto spots or irritations.

* Summer is a great time to work on some of these changes. You can exercise outdoors so you look better and change your hair and style. You can also more easily sever ties with anyone you'd like to distance yourself from.

[chilloutrich]

alot of good advice earlier and they are right because i did it.
i hung out half with my 'unpopular' friends and half with the popular crew, and as the summer holidays merged i started going out more and more with the popular crew and never with the unpopular friends as they simply didnt go out.., i then merged into the popular crew completely, well i merged into to 2 popular crews actually which was sound. its been the best thing thats happened to me.

all i can say is just play it cool, dont let out much information that ppl could laugh at, and nothing personal coz ppl dont wanna hear about ur problems and home life, they are just interested in hanging out with u and getting to know you. Go for a wise popular group, if you like music, choose the chiller group, footie then go for the styler group, and apply urself to those groups in clothing and accesories and so on.

hope this helps, pm me if u want.

[CustomHabbo]

Try what the people above said. If you dont like what the popular kids do then stay with your old friends. They are the same as everybody else.

Just to warn you.. Rumors and stuff about you spread like crazy when your popular. I asked this popular girl out and she said yes and the next day the WHOLE school knew

[FlyingJesus]

Pick on the weak kids who no-one likes.

[CustomHabbo]

Pick on the weak kids who no-one likes.

No.. not at all. that would proboly make it worse

[:Hazel]

Watch made on MTV. That shows alot of people who aren't very popular being made into something e.g. football player, skateboarder and then their confidence soars and they get more mates etc.

[hobo]

Pick on the weak kids who no-one likes.

^^^^^^^^^^^

[FlyingJesus]

No.. not at all. that would proboly make it worse

Nope. If there's someone no-one likes, pick on him/her and you'll be respected for it. I know how these things work, I'm at the top of the ladder and I can see it all happening as we speak.

[-Dispute]

When I was a kid, I was a new kid a school, bit geeky like...and the key is confidence.

Well he had it, he talked to the girls, before he new it he was popular, the only problem was, all the 'Unpopular people' Hated him.

same.
half the people who like me do because they think it's funny how i tend to make fun of certain people :}

Yeah but no-one cares what unpopular people think.

[DCeption]

We are in the prsence of a man who knows all :O

[RedStratocas]

Pick on the weak kids who no-one likes.

Yes. And look at one of the popular kids and copy everything he does. Oh, and say stupid stuff that isnt too complicated and doesnt involve any big words. Uhh... fail all of your classes and pretend like you dont care. Everyone loves an attitude. Laugh at your own jokes, even if you know they arent funny.

Thats what most popular people do in my school anyway.

[blah blah blah]

same.
half the people who like me do because they think it's funny how i tend to make fun of certain people :}

Same, i tend to pick on one or two people that really annoy me and for some weird reason it increases my respect. + i give advice to people so that gets me more friends knowing that they can always lean on me. and alot of people know i dont take crap from anyone, it all about confidence. AND keep all your MOST personal stuff to yourself cause if it leaks out everyone will know by the end of lunchtime!:D :P

[Mr Me]

What is it with younger people and wanting to be popular okay okay to be popular you have to be mean and nasty to everyone ie geeks, freaks and loners, Dont do what the teacher says and get rude with them.

After that you get to visit ISO (Isolation) as its most commomly know as, After that comes getting suspended then exclution.

So wanna be popular now?

Your best off just being who you are and not caring what anyone else thinks. Make a few friends and be the popular one in the group!

[MsTanya]

join in more at school too boost your confidence :)

Not true at all.

I'd say I was quite on the end of the "popular" side of people, but I'm not mean and nasty to anyone. I simply be myself and talk away and just get to know people, and gradually throughout my years at school I've somehow gotten to know and become good friends with just about everyone. I am friendly with all the different "groups" in schools from the "goths" and "geeks" to the "populars". Lol.

To be honest, I think if your just yourself and you have a generally friendly and welcoming attitude, you can get on with just about anyone and become "popular".

[StainCast]

I've always been popular for some reason. I don't know why. It's most probably because I'm never nasty, i don't pick on people, and i stick up for the people that aren't so popular themselves.

I just act myself. I'm a nice guy. I think that people like talking to/ hanging around me because they know they can be themselves around me and i won't take the ****.

Whatever your decision, never turn to bullying to get yourself popular. What comes around, goes around.

Joo x

[Browney]

Ah, popularity. How I wish I had it.

Freak [x]
Geek [x]
"Goon" [x]

Mhm. I'm not gonna say "I'm popular because I'm a nice guy" just like nearly everyone else above me. I'm a geek but I'm popular amongst the geeks. Reasons I can't be popular:
- Hasn't got a backbone.
- Doesn't play any sports.
- Doesn't make smart a**e remarks.

[FlyingJesus]

To all these people who are saying that the popular kids/bullies are dropouts, that's a load of hot toss. I'd say I don't like to blow my own horn but that's a lie because I love telling people how great I am, so here goes: I'm popular, funny, and I insult everyone all the time by way of wit, and I'm one of the most naturally intelligent people I know, attaining high grades with little or no effort. I'm good to teachers as I respect their capabilities and I enjoy learning, this doesn't hinder my social standing whatsoever. In fact, it enhances it because I learn more things so I can remain high-and-mighty. Anyone looking to be popular, just be Fantastic.

That is like the same for me lol. Another bonus of the "popular" lot is the girls want you lol :P:P

I just joked with them etc. etc. I was lucky aswell because I left where I live now before in liek Year 6. And All my mates from then are the "popular" lot now. So I kinda merged in ;)

[brandon]

i read wot flyin jesuz said and now i hav ppl at ma feet thx u!!

erm m8 popularity isnt sumfin u can find on ebay u hav 2 fit in
^ my advice

[Britvic]

Everyone is how they are for a reason, you don't need to change, just be yourself.

I am being myself, I have the same interests as popular people.

go out with the popular ****

It's a bit hard if they don't know you very well.

There's no point trying to fake what you really are because people will just see through you

As I said above, I am being myself, I share the same interests as the people who are popular.

Thankyou, that is very very helpful!!!!

Okey Dokey, I will do.

join in more at school too boost your confidence :)

I will do, thankyou for that advice. I've already started to do that and if I get chatting to the other people who go then they will get to know me more and then hopefully we'll become friends.

If that was a direct reply to my comment, I'd just like to say, that is from my experiences. As I'm considered as "social suicide" just to talk to, I don't know alot of popular people so I don't really know what they are like.

Ps. Talk to popular people before impressing that whole "bully smart a**e" persona.

Nah wasn't in reply to you at all actually, and I don't see how it could have been as you didn't say anything to contradict any of my teachings. Sorry if you felt it was a jibe at you.

^^
See I am nice sometimes :8 sometimes I'm even kind enough to turn a social '**** into a semi-cool kid by talking to them.

o n Brandon ilu

[Britvic]

Yeah but no-one cares what unpopular people think.

Lol, that is true. :P

top advice rich!

Clothes are a BIG factor too, as it's obvious that popular people don't walk round wearing high tech trainers or donnay trackies. My advice is if you can't afford to buy these clothes, get a job and earn the money so you can buy nice looking clothing. Also having an old mobile doesn't work too.

[Ree Yeah!]

what year are in? 'cause usually them kinda groups form at the start of school.
if you dont have the guts to talk to "popular" people in person straight away, get their msn on someone and start talking to them on there first, and then like after u've been talking to them a while just walk past n say alright or something. then build it up.

+ what flying jesus said, yeee thats how most people get respect. it sounds harsh but seriously if ppl find wot ur saying funny they'll like u more

[Dan2nd]

My nick name made me popular

[Callum.]

personally, i'd hate it if i was in the popular group.

i'm quite popular at school, liked by alot of people, including the popular kids, but really, it sucks being around them, just find some friends who take you as yourself.

[ColyTom]

hmm im not tht popular just be your self and dont do stupid stuff tht will effect u (in class etc) like messin around cus when your older and trying to get a job your friends wont be with you

Yeah, that is a very important point + Rep

[Black-Skull88]

Pick on the weak kids who no-one likes.

He said he is unpopular, so the weak kid who no one likes is probably himself.

Anyway kid the girls might like the popular kids now but if you actually focus on school and stop trying so hard to be popular and you get a good job when your older and get enough money the hot girls will like you for your money. The kids are mates for a reason they all have something in common like if its a sport try it out, practice it and you might be hanging out with them before you know it.

So what have we learnt ? No one likes a try hard.

[boyslikegirls]

pick on all the people with no friends

join basketball and track teams

hang out with the superiors of your team

instead of saying no to a teacher, say negetive. just to show off you can get away with it.

dont be a label *Text Removed*, unless your a girl. wear school clothes with your schools name on your hoodies, ect.

go out every night to the movies, sneak out of the movies and fork peoples yards. then tell everyone to show off.

show off everything you have.



ye basically.
thats how it is here anyway tbh
all you do is act as if your better than everyone

[Royksopp]

just be yourself no point bieng someone else it's nooot worth the hassle and when they find out who you really are they give you beats

[Viruz]

I had the same problem,when i first joined middle school i made friends with a boy called george and he ennoyed everyone but i was still best mates with him and because i hung around with him people started not to like me,and then it came to high school and even the people there didnt like me cuz i was still friends with this boy and finally i said to him i dont want to be you friend any more cuz ur ennoying people and bringing me down with you(as you can guess he didnt take it too well) and for about a year onwards not many peeps would talk to me but slowly i made new friends and now i may not be popular but i have quite a few friends,i just changed my ways not who i am!

[fantazia]

Hello guys!
I'm not a very popular guy at school but I want that to change.
Does anybody know how I can become more popular?

Lmao jerr, Some people try too hard

[Glitter]

They do indeed. I like my "status" tbh. I'm not "popular" but i speak to "popular" people. I speak to everyone except the really strange people and the cannabis addicted chavs.

[Britvic]

You can, one of my friends did it.
This week, I've made friends with 4 year 11 girls but I'm year 10, lol.

Yeah, I agree.
Though I wouldn't want to be popular. Been there done that & being a nasty **** just doesn't suit me. :]
Why not?
If you were unpopular, you would know about the struggle to make new friends.

Tbh i dont mind it i quite liked it as i like being centre of attention :) even though it wasnt what most people would have liked i guess
Yeah, I love being centre of attention.


Try to be more confident.
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do. :P


Go up to the "hardest" person in school and whack em as hard as you can.
Ummmmmmm, maybe I'll pass :P

If I do it discreetly :8

[Throne Sofa]

Just pick your friends wisely and make sure they're your friends too, **** being popular.

[Britvic]

I think it's going quite well, I sit next to a popular girl in English and we mess around but I do do the work first.
I've also started speaking to more popular people and I'm gonna try and sit with them in the canteen tommorow. So I'll see how it goes :P

[FlyingJesus]

**** being popular.

That's the most stupid thing I ever heard.

[ColyTom]

That's the most stupid thing I ever heard.
I know, how can someone not want to be popular.

[RedStratocas]

I know, how can someone not want to be popular.

Well, Im not passionate about it in either direction. I wouldnt mind having a million friends, but Im not going to go out of my way to get them.

[Britvic]

That's the most stupid thing I ever heard.
I know, I'd love to be popular.

[lilvix2k7]

Pick on the weak kids who no-one likes.

lol lol lol mean but funny

[e5.]

hehe just act more lively and dnt be shy in getting involved with ufa ppl :D - the down side to being popular is if you do something wrong people will know u and lyk oh yes dis guy did it n b4 u no it ur out of da school coz popularity usually comes from doing silly things to get u noticed :p

[Rix]

Pick on the weak kids who no-one likes.

What does that achieve nothing

[-Soph-]

just be friendly..

[Catzsy]

Nope. If there's someone no-one likes, pick on him/her and you'll be respected for it. I know how these things work, I'm at the top of the ladder and I can see it all happening as we speak.



Just looks like you are encouraging bullying to me which would make him popular with people who think like that? Not a very positive suggestion I don't think. Not sure if being popular is 'everything' it can just mean you are in with a crowd who are very superficial and shallow. Be yourself and look for friends who are genuninely individual like you.

And what if a person's true self is a bully?

[Catzsy]

And what if a person's true self is a bully?

Well I cannot see the logic in what you are saying. If the person is there is still no reason to encourage bullying IMHO.

[xzl.]

I used to be quite unpopular once I came to secondary school ^-^
But my confidence grew a lot in one year.
You get respect for being confident :]

[FlyingJesus]

Well I cannot see the logic in what you are saying. If the person is there is still no reason to encourage bullying IMHO.

You suggested that bullying is wrong, but also stated that you should always be yourself. So if a person's "self" is a bully, what should they do?

[ColyTom]

You suggested that bullying is wrong, but also stated that you should always be yourself. So if a person's "self" is a bully, what should they do?

That is a really good point, I never thought of that before.

Well I think that is just semantics TBH. When I said 'be youself' I meant don't try to be or copy anybody else just for the sake of being 'popular' Thx:)

[shiver]

popularity isn't everything - if you intend on changing yourself for popularity then you're a fake imbecile. if you stay the same, you are well good.

Damn right. and if someone insults you, stick up for yourself.

[joshuar]

I never used to talk to many people but now I talk to everyone really.

Confidence is a key thing really, if you have that then you are part way there.
Normally when you get into your later years at school (Years 10 and 11) you will start to mix classes big time (as in your never in a class with your Tutor Group), so you will start to talk to new people etc. Just make sure that you don't TRY and be funny, just chat and learn about new people :)

It's always a good feeling when you start talking to new people and learning about them.

[SpellingMistake]

To get popular in my school you have to be 1 of 3 things Fit ,Funny Or a footballer.

[guyfromlondon]

I read your post on the forum, on how to become popular. I followed your rules and tried to do them in school. At the end of the day everybody rushed me and beat me up, and a guy ****** on me, Now I feel like total **** and want to die. What should I do?

[TrueColours]

I'm popular some days, And unpopular the next, Nearly the whole of my year and half of the less year knows me >;l

[Luayminator]

Im popular, I think.. and I dont really know what I did. But one thing I know is like.. the popular kids over here, they dont seemto accept the none popular kids hanging around.. maybe start by doing someone a favour..or something they need, without torturing them about it, and dont make themn bully you over it. If they bully you always stand up for youself, then they'll know you have a strong personality, see what theyre interested in.. if youre into any of it, that would help as well, dont keep nagging them or begging them or annoying them when they dont look in the mood,and dont stick to them too much because theyll also get annoyed..

[brodeo]

I think being funny helped me become 'popular' as you call it. Or it could be because i'm gay and different.

[CustomHabbo]

You cant just become popular by doing a little thing. Im not sure how i got into the group. I was just always with them. Its pretty nice being popular but its not the greatest. Your always dealing with rumors people thinking your a bully and all of that.
One time my school had a bullying program then the person said who here thinks the populr kids are the bullies. Everybodys hands went up and stared at us. Made me feel like *Text Removed*. Teachers sometimes get a bad impression of you and all sorts of stuff.
The people that say that bullying people might work or failing tests are wrong. Maby making a few jokes about some kids would be alright. Failing a test isnt always funny. Only if its under 15.
Also its your personality. If your scared to get hurt, get in fights, or do stupid things its not the group for you

Hope i helped

Edited by Mattps22004 (Forum Moderator): Please don't avoid the filter.

[Thrilled.]

none of you are actually popular irl in all honesty.
habbo doesn't count.

I'm not a very popular guy at school but I want that to change.
Does anybody know how I can become more popular?

All good advice will be highly appreciative and I will add to your reputation when I can. :P


Follow the sheep..

Just be yourself. Hopefully people will like you for you.

You've said that twice :S

[5,5]

Dont change yourself just to make people think your cool. But if you do want to :P you could be friends with one popular kid, then they'll make you popular :P

[The Don]

give in to peer prseure?

[shiver]

i wouldn't really go out of my way for popularity. i speak and interact with people who i like in a smaller group, and it's 10 times better than the bigger group. you'll find in a bigger group you easily fall out with them sooner too, when rumours and stuff circulate. i strayed from the larger group because i discovered how idiotic a few of them could be, but the majority of them are alright. i'll still speak, go out etc. with a few, but about 3 of them just completely drive me round the bend.

there's this girl in my year who recently found 'popularity' with the bigger group that i used to hang around with. she thinks she's got total dominion over those not in the bigger group, and she's just generally a moron. it's funny how she changed from one of the intelligent girls to a total ho.

congrats i suppose with your new friends n stuff

[GhostFace-]

Pick on the weak kids who no-one likes.

lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


Umm


just hang out with popular kids talk about stuff u both have in common.

[Jinc]

I know everyone says that you should always act yourself, do what you want to do and not be influenced by others.
But if you're at the stage where you do want to become more popular, you obviously care what people think and maybe look up to the more popular people.
If you're an idiot naturally then you'll struggle to change enough to get people to like you, but you definately don't want to go around trying to be exactly like someone else.

I suppose you could start by asking your friends what bad traits you have... just look at yourself and the way you act and try to change for the better.

However, if you end up acting one way with a certain group of people, and differently with another group, you could risk losing both sets of friends, because I don't know many people who appreciate others being two-faced.

[Britvic]

I sit next to a popular kid in engish and we get on quite well.
Another popular person, George, said hi to me when I saw him afterschool a few weeks ago and he also said hello to me at the fair.
I also speak to popular peopel when I'm on the bus.

[Samishlol]

No i don't change i'm my self 24/7. If people don't like me for who i am then it's there fault

[FlyingJesus]

No-one is entirely themselves; everyone has the need to feel involved.

[RandomManJay]

I was never popular in my school, but I had ties with friends from my junior school who were popular now, so I wasn't far off, but I was one of the minority who didn't conform to the social norm. I find it best just to be yourself, if people don't like you for the way you are, forget them, find people who like you for you (a lot of popular people in my school weren't even friends, they just hung around each other cause they were popular, and after realising that, I'd rather be unpopular than popular :P).

[SUPERhanna.]

Get yourself noticed by them, find out what you have in common with them and work on that.

[Procyon]

There's no point trying to fake what you really are because people will just see through you

Best advice anyone can give.

your guide is utter crap, sorry damien.
i aint got a problem with you
but well from where i'm from it isn't like that at all
most of all you've said is the opposite. popular people are people who get on with EVERYONE and people who EVERYONE likes, not the stuck up ******s who think they're 'solid' or 'bolt' because they push little kids around. and no it isn't the people who think they're gods gift either. i guess my school is the complete opposite to yours, mine has a few people who think they're popular, but really no one likes them, they're intimidated into it. it's usually the rudeboi rebels who think it too.

Well then you can get contacts.

[bo$$]

Don't listen to all of these "Rules"
Seriously..

Like early on in the thread someone said "Don't be hyper" or something like that.. otherwise people won't like you.. that's not true.. there are times where I'm off the wall and people enjoy it because it makes them laugh, making them happier.

A lot of people say just be yourself.. and if you're someone who a lot of people won't like.. then as cruel as it is, you'll have to deal with it. If you find people that aren't annoyed with you, then great hang out with them.

Become more active in your school/get known more.. and just "be yourself"

[jesus]

Well then you can get contacts.what im saying is - what if they aren't good looking? what do you do then?

That's not entirely true though.. not every popular person is hot. I know plenty of popular people that look like they got hit in the side of their face with a shovel.

Besides, you could be ugly and be popular with 50 other ugly people.. but you'd still be popular.

* Don't be hyper. People will quickly get annoyed with you and not want to hang out with you.

* If you don't drink, stick it. Be able to accept that and, if necessary, talk to the person about it. You don’t have to be friends with everyone, just handle the situation with respect and courtesy.

* Talk to your parents about the changes you are making in your life, and explain your reasoning to them. They are likely to be concerned that their child is acting differently.

* If you have curfews or rules that frustrate you and you think hinder you from doing the "popular" things, remember that even the coolest kids have parents and rules. Hey, give your parents a break once in awhile for trying- use that Friday night at home to catch up on magazine reading or even homework.

* Be a good student. It is a common misperception that if you’re doing well in school, you’re a nerd. You can be popular and keep a high grade point average.

* Leave some time just for you. Once you are popular, you may be busy with a lot of friends and activities. Make sure you still have time to be alone and reflect.

* One rule is "never be embarrassed". Embarrassment shows weakness. It's okay to show emotions, but not weakness. Let those awkward moments pass you by like they're nothing but another era of your life. (Extra Comment: It's not necessarily bad to be embarrassed - it may happen at some point whether you like it or not. But the way you handle it can be even more important than what happens. Accept whatever happened, focus on how to avoid it, and forgive and forget. It will happen to everyone in time. Either way, you learned something for yourself.)

* Don't care so much--other people can tell if you're trying too hard.

* Never underestimate the importance of good grooming (shower every day; use deodorant), physical fitness, and a nice, sincere smile. This holds if you're a punk, jock, geek, goth, prep, or anything beyond or in between.

* Don't just dump your friends that you already have. You can be friends with any one you want to. But if you decide to dump your friends, maybe you should talk to them and explain that you feel like you are growing distant from them, and that your interests have changed. You don't need to completely write off your old friends to have new ones. Just don't blow them off. That's mean and will jeopardize your future friendships. If they see you treating someone badly, there is no guarantee you won't do that to your next friend.

* Get a MySpace page or a page on bebo, if you feel the need, and learn something new. But if you want to do something risk-free, that has no chance of giving out information about you that is deadly in the wrong, and probably present hands, you can do one of many things. Some good ideas are keeping a scrapbook or diary, getting the emails of close friends and family and dishing it out to them... Then people who might have tried to harm you with information that wasn't theirs will be replaced by people who are there to let you open up and trust them!

* Tea tree oil is a brilliant way of dealing with teenage skin problems. Look out for products which include it as an ingredient, or simply use pure tea tree oil (undiluted) and dab a little onto spots or irritations.

* Summer is a great time to work on some of these changes. You can exercise outdoors so you look better and change your hair and style. You can also more easily sever ties with anyone you'd like to distance yourself from.
*Don't tell any one that you go on Habbo (If you do anyways)

Popularity isn't instantanious. You've got to work at it. There are different stages to become popular.

First of all - assert your authority. If anyone is horrible to you, bite back. 10 times harsh. If "Molly" calls you a name, tell everyone about her shock abortion with her cousins baby!

Secondly - Get noticed! Get a part in a school play, flirt with a popular guy.. do something outrageous. Dress to impress!

Thirdly - Be loud and proud. Make sure you aren't all timid, give your opinion with passion and show that you don't care what people think.. let people know exactly what you think of them

Fourthly - Push your way to the top. Ok, people are beggining to notice you now, they think you're cool but you're not quite popular yet. SIMPLE. Find the most popular girl in your year and completely socially destroy her. Spread rumours, snog her boyfriend (or at least tell her you did), make her feel like she's nothing. She'll fade into obscurity and you can take the helm. Or if you're a guy, get your friends to spread a rumour that you slept with a really hot girl... if she denies it just say its because she "came too early".

It's a lion's den out there kid, and sometimes people get hurt. That's life.

i think you av been watching too many american teen movies lol. cuz by doing that, u will be known as a right ****, and before you even had the chance to do most of that, the girl would either beat you up, or get others to do it for her. as being the most hated girl, wont make you the most popular.

no, just no. "being yourself" wont get you anyway if you want to be popular. if someone wants to be accepted by people who are classed as popular, they have to be like those popular people. if they dont want to be someone who they are not, then they shouldnt attempt to hang with the popular crowd, as they will get rejected straight away.
