I want to be popular

It seems the only way to be popular is to be someone else, but when I try to be someone else, that someone is usually...

All the girls who are "popular" at my school either wear crummy makeup or stuff their bras. Girls at my school can be such whores. And sluts. They get the wrong kind of attention. I'm just I do t know. I feel so um awkward at school.

I can't seem to find anybody at my school who like the same thngs as me. I did that but they were being complete jerks so I'm trying to find new friends. When I try to find the opposite, they turned out to be slackers and very anoying. And I am not that judgemental. Help!!!!!!

I'm going into grade 8 this year and i've decided that i want to try to be more outgoing. I am really happy with who i am and i get told im a nice positive person. But sometimes around newer people (even if they are my friends but not super close) i get shy and quiet. I really am a loud crazy person like my confident and not so shy BFF. I want to be able to show that side of me in front of those people. I try to tell myself to just got out on a limb take a risk but sometimes it fails. Do you have any suggestions on how i could improve that?




Hey girl, I think you just have to do it. I did the same thing in 8th grade and I found just pushing myself and making a challenge to talk to at least five new people a day really helped.

all you have to do to be popular is:

1. be nice to the ppl around u

2. be honest

3. be there for ppl

4. listen

and most importantly...

5. BE URSELF!!!!

For those of you who want to be popular, (this is a quote from The Genie from Disney's Aladdin) Bee yourself. Being popular is not all it's cracked up to be. There's always this huge pressure to do things that are bad or mean because if you don't you won't be "cool" anymore. take it from a girl who knows: it's much better to be in the middle of the food chain. Having trouble making friends because of your "status"? Don't worry. Sign up for something that sounds fun or a after school activity you enjoy. Chances are that you'll meet a new BFF there. Hope this helps!

Ok well there's these really pretty girls at acting and they all have beautiful long black hair, and I have curly brown hair and I'm shorter than all of them. I guess you could call them "the popular girls" and I'm not one of them. I want to be but I guess I'm not "cool enough". Sometimes they can be very bossy and even to me and if I'm one of them they won't bother me. I do hang out with girls who are younger than me. I love them but I also want to hang out with the other girls! I don't know what to do! I want to still be friends with my old girls but I want to hang with the other girls! I've even put on more make-up to see if it would make me look prettier! I know that's not a good thing to do. I'm 13 and most of the other girls are 15 or 16. But there is another 13 year old and she's one of them! What do I do? I love my old girls too!




hey! Just relax. hanging out with new girls just to fit in won't make you happy. You know what will? being with your real friends. Just don't let them boss you  around. Good luck!

MOD MOD MOD Sorry I posted it to soon. Anyways I was saying that if I become one of them maybe they'll stop picking on me! Anyways what should I do? Is there anything wrong with me?
