DestinedxTragedy answered Monday January 3 2005, 4:44 pm: You should always be yourself and do what YOU want to do. Don't worry about what people think of you. Yes, there are some cruel people out there who will make fun of you probably. But, at least you are happy doing what makes YOU happy.

MummuM answered Monday January 3 2005, 3:02 pm: I think you should be yourself, even if it means being "less popular". Wouldn't you like people to like you for who you are, then for who you aren't? [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]

StrawberryHEARTsyou answered Monday January 3 2005, 1:56 pm: Popularity is suppose to mean that you fit in with your surroundings.,. If you hang out with the "preps" in your school who happen to do crap that you dont beilve in .,. then it is just a waste of time. If you dont want to be in the geeky crowd and odnt want to change your beilefs make your own lil crowd who has the same problem. I can garentee that there is plenty of more ppl were you are @ who has the same problem!
Good Luck .,. dont let them get to you!
evilenterprisesinc answered Monday January 3 2005, 10:32 am: the less friends you have.. the better friends you have.. if you have lots of friends.. chances are they arent very good.. the ties you have between lots of friends become weaker.. if you have few friends then the ties are stronger because you have less people to tether yourself too..
so say you have 10 peices of string..
popular person may have 50 people to tie that string too.. put that string under pressure it breaks.. if you have about 5 - 15 people.. there is less tension.. and there is more pressure you can put on the string without it breaking.. think about this..

rainbowcherrie answered Monday January 3 2005, 4:53 am: It depends on whether you want to be popular or not. If you're okay with having maybe less friends than the popular people then fine, do what you want to do. If you think you are suited better to being part of a big crowd and you think that you do better with lots of friends, then maybe it's best to fit in.

takingfive answered Monday January 3 2005, 12:13 am: When I think back to high school, the coolest kids were the ones who didn't conform to everyone else's opinion, clothes, speech, and so on. I was really sensitive to other people's opinions of me and I always wished that I hadn't been.
WheresMyKnight answered Sunday January 2 2005, 11:10 pm: Definately just be you! There's no point in trying to be someone your not JUST to be popular when in a few years you will be off to college and no one will no how unpopular you were in high school. Plus, in some cases when people try to be someone they rn't, they end up feeling trapped and depressed because they feel that they cannot express their true self.

DrAnqel answered Sunday January 2 2005, 10:21 pm: Do what you want to do. Popular kids are fake and have too much drama. The only people that like them are themselves. They're also not really good friends. Hope I helped. Good luck. -Angel [ DrAnqel's advice column | Ask DrAnqel A Question ]
FrEe2bMe answered Sunday January 2 2005, 10:06 pm: Every persons school years always seems like some of the most trying times they'll have to endure. While it would be a ot EASIER to just go with the crowd to fit in to what is percieved to be the norm, the WISER choice would be to go the other path. Dare to be different. You have to stand up for what you believe in; even if you are standign alone. Set an example. In the long run, more people will admire you, and most of all;RESPECT you. The United States has and will always serve as a melting pot of different people with different characteristics. Be a leader; not a follower. Do whatever makes you happiest. In the long run, it will pay off. :) [ FrEe2bMe's advice column | Ask FrEe2bMe A Question ]

Alin75 answered Sunday January 2 2005, 10:03 pm: In my opinion its wrong to go against your own beliefs. If you let others dictate how you act then you arent really a person anymore, you are a puppet. Popularity is nice and all that, but remember that if you had to compromise yourself for it, its not really YOU that they like. They like the person that you are pretending to be.

superGiRL21 answered Sunday January 2 2005, 10:03 pm: It's easy to want to conform to other people's beliefs because that way you fit in and you are just like everyone else. But just think about that. Do you really want to be like everyone else? It's hard to stand up for what you believe in, but its important because it helps you discover who you are. I would rather be liked for something i am then for something im not. It's your choice ultimately but in the end you gotta be happy with yourself at the end of the day! hope i helped
