DEAR CAROL: Pushing to be Popular

 

Check these out, too...

  • I called my bud's school "skanky" and now she's fuming
  • How to be the queen of hearts
  • I'm freaked about befriending the populars
  • My guy mocked my bestie...and now she won't talk to me
  • Flirts with you but likes a popular girl? Here's what to do

At the beginning of school, I decided I wanted to be "cool." I was hoping to make some popular friends. Finally, this girl who I thought was popular became friends with me and I was really happy. 


Then she started getting mad at me for no reason, calling me names, etc. I want to end our so-called friendship and I need to know how to do it.


I'm afraid that if I'm too harsh, she'll hate me forever.

--Frustrated

Dear Frustrated: 

It seems that you've realized it's better to have a true friend than a false friend-or a popular acquaintance.  But now, rather than dump the girl and have an enemy, you're better off not being obvious about your change of heart. 


Sit with other girls at lunch and make after school plans with others, too. Join a sport or chorus or the school newspaper or any activity that will keep you involved with different kids.  If she confronts you, you can say, "I don't want to fight," or "Of course I have other friends and so do you."

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD
my friend tried to become popular last year toward the end of the year. me and my other friend noticed that she was sitting with the popular kids but she would not even talk to them she only talked within her own group of friends. i think she was just doing it to make herself look like she is popular and that the popular kids accept her when they did not really talk. everytime i saw her she was trying to hangout with other more popular kids
what bugs me about the situation is when she is with her other friends, popular or not, she ignores me and acts like i am uncool to hangout with. but when it's just the two of us she acts completely normal.
my questions:
if she does the same thing next year what do i do?

 If she keeps this up, I'd say find a new friend. She'll probably realize that pretending to be friends with a certain group of people isn't very fun, and hopefully soon she'll be more secure with her friend group. Until then, just keep surrounding yourself with friends who like you unconditionally =)

Dear frustrated,
You may feel that if you drop her you won't be cool,drop her and maybe you can make a heck load of friends who will support you.Then,when that girl sees you she will wanna be this so called popular.Listen to the word popular.It means being known well in a good way.So if you make many friends that you adore and they adore you,you will be popular,but the first step is to drop her by not hanging around with her,DO NOT say to her you don't wanna be friends.

you should see my school - it is sick seeing what the populars will do to stay popular. i hate my school - almost everyone is either an unoriginal clone or trying to be one. i say who cares if shes mad at you for drifting apart. If its her fault and you're being nice about it then say so long mean girl! hope it all works out
