Angie answered Monday May 3 2004, 7:44 pm: Just be yourself or just don't try real hard. If you wanna be cool, stay with the trends, like whats in style for clothing and hairstyles and don't try to hard. Hope you become popular asap! ~Angie [ Angie's advice column | Ask Angie A Question ]

As long as you have a solid group of friends that you care about and that care about you, you'll be fine. Relax and don't worry about it so much. [ Kiki714's advice column | Ask Kiki714 A Question ]

If you have absolutly no friends, well, read articals about what's 'in' and select your own style. At least you'll learn a thing or two.

Take it from someone who was in the popular group since the 2nd grade, its not worth it. its nothing like you think it is and normally have have to be able to contribute to the group in many ways. Like I DJed at the hottest Club in my state since I was in 9th grade, I had hook ups to all the concerts, movies, signings. I also could get anyone into a recording studio or meet an agent. Its a vicious group we talk behind each others backs and people who aren't popular as well. People in the poular group have to act a certain way like there is the pretty girl who sleeps around, the guy who can get you drugs, people like me who could do anything and get you anything, and people who were jocks and cheerleaders and biggest stoners. The best thing to do is be yourself and be happy you have real friends because after high school none of it matters no one cares who you were and what you did, your jsut another person. But if you are desperet I guess there are many things to can do. Get a cool job for one, everyone loves people who can get them discounts and hook ups. Seconds be a trendie know the fashion of what is cool and know music because in the cool group there is no saying "oh I listen to Hilary Duff" (sorry no need to offend if you do because this kids believe they are above anything that could hurt them by admitance). And if your a girl learn to be Bitch but not a rude one, at least until your in the group, if a male be a jock and you will be fine. And the last make sure you can look like a really hot person.

Learn to accept yourself for who you are and you will become more self confident - tell yourself that it doesnt matter who dislikes me - I'm great no matter what.

Why don't you just try being who you want to be instead of following the crowd? You don't have to be popular to be happy. And if you try too hard to be popular, no one will like you.
