Popularity

[5,5]

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

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

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.

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

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

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 ).

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