Q: All the senior football players pick a girl and they are all in the running to be Homecoming Queen. My brother (a senior) is taking me (a freshman) to homecoming which means I am in the running for homecoming queen. I'd like alot of people to vote for me. And while i know there are already some people who will....i just want to know how to become friends with more people. Like i want to be a more outgoing person but I don't know how to be. does anyone get what i mean? Please give me ne advice you might have!!!
Doesn't the winning queen and king have to kiss at the crowning? They did at my school so I'd thought I'd mention that since you're brother is a candidate.

The problem with making friends and being more social at this point is that most students will figure out that you really want to be H-queen and think that is all you care about. So when you play your cards, you need to keep that in mind. The people that are losers or are 'nobodies' are the majority of most schools (you wouldn't be popular if half the school was too). You should always aim for their votes because most everyone else KNOWS who they are voting for and you befriending them won't change much.

How to become friends with more people? Well it's hard to hate someone who smiles! So smile, and greet people that are just mere aquaintances (but not total strangers, 'cuz they'll know something is up), talk to people in your classes, talk to people standing in the lunch line around you. Basically talk to those within your reach but don't go around looking for people to befriend. You'll spread your name around by doing just these things, which is good 'cuz those who have no clue who to vote for, tend to vote for the name most familiar to them that they favor.

Hahaha..no we don't kiss. That's prom. LoL we pretty much just walk on across the football field. Our school is retarded lol. Thanks sooo much!!!
