  1. Whats up! I need some help…not like this is a hotline or anything but I need some help anyways… There is this dude at school who always gets crowded around with “real” friends and girls, and I sit over in the corner and try to talk to him (bad idea.) Now I am jealous (bad idea too.) So I became desperate and looked for a way to be popular… This stuff (I think) will work! I have some advice, now that I see what to do….
    – Be yourself! Don’t worry about what anybody else thinks about you, if you worry about that, that powers them up!
    -Be very interactive with everybody! Be nice, even if you have problems with some people (just ignore those people) and lend a hand when someone is in need! Be nice to everyone!!!

    Just have common interests, try to find subjects to talk about, help out, join a club, say “hi” to people! Do whatever! Just one thing… DON’T be rude or snobby or anything like those bullies are saying, just be yourself! Hope I helped out!

  2. I just went into gr. 9 and wow is it awesome…Everyone in my grade and Grade 10 know me well and like me…Im a pretty easy to get along with kinda guy…I dont plan on driving to school when I get my licens cuz I live down the block and my clothes is Billabong, and skater and also preppy like American Eagle…Dont like Hollister or Abercombie, to hard to get to the store… And a few tips is to go out for the School forum or the school council…Best Idea EVER!! Make sure you find out about partys and go to them..NEVER I MEAN NEVER turn down an invitation! And most of all have fun in High School and make sure School Work goes first!!

  3. I’m beautiful, gorgeous and was totally popular at high school. This meant also being a total up myself who only could be seen hanging out with the ‘right’ people. I have also learned that yes on the outside it well may be that your well known and popular, but on the inside it is ruthless and biatchy. Now that am at university, I sit at the front with the interested people and I try and blend well by being honest nice and friendly with everyone. Also talking about people behind their backs about what kind of brand they are/arn’t wearing is definatly a no-no. I am not a total ‘dag’ – I haven’t let myself go of course, but my self esteem of who I am and what I do is definatly more individual. I think people sense this peace and are far more toloerant and relaxed around me.

  4. i need help i when i need to be tuf i am i always dress to impress but for some reason i am unpopular plez reply

  5. hi!
    i’m really popular and average looking. You don’t need to be gorgeous to be popular. Just give peeks of your panties to the popular guys and try to have sex with as many guys as you can. I like to talk to lots of people and those who are mean to me, I just go near them and take their hand and put it inside my panties and they get all excited and start fingering me. Then we become friends. Its the same with me teachers too. I get the highest marks in class by having sex with the teachers. They fuck my pussy and I get good marks in exchange. a fair bargain, if you ask me. i am also into lesbian sex so most of the girls like me too. i’ve had sex in the school toilet with lots of guys and I make sure someone spots me while I’m having sex so that he/she spreads it to the entire school. i make lots of noises too when some guy inserts his cock into my wet pussy. i go ‘aaaaaaaaaah aaah aaaaaaaah’ and ‘ooooooohhhhhh fuck me harder’ ‘yes yes yes’ and then i cum.
    Fun way to get popular isn’t it?
    So my advice is to have sex and don’t act so uptight.

  6. Okay everyone, I AM popular. So i’ll straight up give u guys all it takes. Make sure ppl know who you are, be nice ALL the time to EVERYONE. I was on homecoming at a dance and ppl seem to like me. U need to be noticed. Go places, look like you are THE person who knows it all. Look like you are the person to be around. Look hot. Truly think you are hot. You need to be nice, but realize you are a little bit better than other people. Dont be overly-confident, just be friendly and when ppl get JEALOUS, they decide that they dont like you. Realize this. It’s because of sheer jealousy that they act bitchy.
    Peace guys, hope i helped :)

  7. 1. Make a list of people in the popular crowd at your school, from most popular to least popular.

    2. Circle the “leader” of the crowd (the person at the top of the list).

    3. Underline one to five people who are the nicest and easiest to get to know. Note: Usually these are near the bottom of the list, but not always.

    4. Start talking to the people you underlined and hang out with them. Always be really nice to them, laugh at everything they say, always smile and act like you’re having fun, agree with everything they say, talk about hot guys, buy them stuff, and give them a card, five dollars, a candy bar, and a shirt, and decorate their locker with balloons, streamers, and candy on their birthday,

    5. Slowly transform from whatever you wear now to wearing very tight, faded jeans, very tight Aéropostle, Hollister, Old Navy, American Eagle, or Abercrombie and Fitch shirts, perfect smooth, glossy, shiny, straight hair, and a lot of makeup.

    6. Always hang out with them, and be seen in and around the crowd, hanging out with them.

    7. Next, start being super-nice to the medium-popular people and the underlined people and be seen in and around the crowd, hanging out with them.

    8. Casually and slowly begin offering your idea on what’s hot and what’s not instead of just listening to their idea of what’s hot and what’s not.

    9. Invite people one at a time over to your house, starting at the bottom of the list, going to the top.

    10. Invite the whole crowd to your birthday party at the mall, and… Smile! — You’re popular!

    Remember:

    · Never talk about other people when they aren’t there, and if someone else starts to talk about someone to you, act like you didn’t hear them the first time, and if they ask a second time, tell them that you don’t really like talking about people unless it’s nice or unless it’s going to help them.

    · Always stand up to the bully if someone is being bullied, even if it means standing up to the crowd leader. Don’t feel guilty, because you wouldn’t want to be in a crowd with a leader like that anyway. If the rest of the crowd is nice, then talk to the rest of the crowd when the leader isn’t there and try to persuade them to vote on a new leader and kick her out of the crowd.

    · You may want to get some of your best friends into the crowd, too, but don’t get too many people in. Five is the limit.

  8. Hey i’m english 2 so its a bit different here as well but im in yr 6 nd relly shy nd i wannabe popular but da popular kidz h8 me cz 1 of dere bfrnds liked me nd dey hold dat agenst me but im relly upset coz dey always know da rite ppl and r always happy so can u help me ne 1?? luv yaz all xxx

  9. well i dont know for sure if im popular i gotta a grip of friends and almost the whole school knows me if i dont know them,mabye that was because i was on the girls basketball team, but at my old school people were like “i was the one who made you this way” pshh whatever, but i had a boyfriend but he assumed i was cheating so we broke up, but if people dont like it watever its not like i dont have other friends there just jealous of what they Dont have and What they Do, but like people think im automatically a preppy chic because i were my collar popped but everyone does that i pretty much be my self and thats what makes me, ME. i stopped trying to be someone one i wasnt and be myself but some (so-called) friends i cant trust they talk behind people’s back not that i dont but i do speak my mind so you are suppose to be mean and bitchy

  10. I’m the most popular girl in my school, I am in the crowd and everyone wants to be like me. Here are some great tips:

    1- Look your best and be clean.
    2- Be confident and believe in your potential.
    3- Be outgoing, talkative and fun to be around. Get attention to yourself. Talk to all kinds of people.
    4- Be nice to everyone. But don’t get people’s crap.
    5- Be smart, real popular girls are not dumb.
    6- Smile and be good humored.
    7- Be yourself and love it!

  11. Okay….Everything here everyone has said is ture…..It all boils down to confidence and being yourself, getting over your fears….thats all there is to it…..if people dont like you for who you are, then popularity wont matter becasue you will always be unhappy……
