The first step is looking good. I'm not popular but when I got a haircut that was cute some popular girls complimented me on it. Look online for some haircuts you like, print out the pictures, and bring them to your salon. Maybe do highlights at home (I like L'oreal feria) if you really want to look different. Go shopping with someone whose style you admire- again, the compliment factor. Also, make sure you're wearing the right makeup for your face- go to a Clinique counter (at nordstrom's or macy's) or a Flirt! or American Beauty counter (at kohl's) for help on that.
Ever noticed how on the first day of school, even if no one they know is in the class, "that girl" has a partner for the first project? The key to that is to be friendly and approachable. Unlike guys, girls tend to talk to someone if they're with a small to medium group of friends- somehow it's harder to talk to loners. If no one you know is in your class, don't panic. Find someone who looks friendly and start up a convo- maybe ask who her english teacher is or compliment her. Do this a couple of times so you have backup friends (lol). Smile and laugh a lot and accept everyone.

I mean who really determines Popularity these days anyway.. yea so what people nkow there names.. but its not always for good things... and even if people have tons of friends.. 1/2 of them are crap talkers and arent true.. I say stick with who you are... keep the friends you have.. and if you hear good stuff about someone and you think they sound cool then go for it and try a friendship out with them...If you just simply want more friends.. then just do more activitys get involved... but being popular is overrated..
There is no real popularity.. and in the long run it won't matter... just be true to yourself and you friends.. and have fun..don't let highschool peer pressure tell you what you should and shouldn't be... have fun.. these 4 years are the most fun in your school career :) [ xHeartxOfxGoldx's advice column | Ask xHeartxOfxGoldx A Question ]
shake answered Sunday February 13 2005, 12:47 pm: You idiot. Popular gets you nowhere in life, look when you grow up n get a job will you think saying " I WAS POPULAR IN HIGHSCHOOL" is going to matter at all to the guy interviewing you? Hell no. Make some friends and stay with em dont worry bout something so stupid. [ shake's advice column | Ask shake A Question ]
Karen answered Sunday February 13 2005, 12:04 pm: At every high school, becoming popular is different. At some high schools, you just need to know everyone and you probably need to have been popular for a long time. At other high schools, you need to be really pretty, you need to shop at "preppy" stores such as American Eagle, Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, etc, and you need to be interested in sports. Finally, at other high schools, you just need to be really friendly with everyone and just yourself. Becoming popular is different for every high school. Hope I helped :)

feverdancer03 answered Sunday February 13 2005, 11:33 am: You shouldnt care if your popular or not. But i guess you do, so to be popular, become friends with people you normally wouldnt! dont leave your real true friends hanging though. If your nice to everybody, everyone will know you. You will get inited to all parties were everyone will again notice and see you. If you get involved in many clubs and other things in school, you will again be noticed. However dont try to be someone else, be yourself. If people dont except you for who you are...screw them. Dont worry to much of how other people see tou in high school, because then you will be stressing all the time, and wont have fun! These are suppossed to be your funnest years, so have fun! Plus, when you graduate, no one is going o care who was popular, its goign to be about who tried hard and succeded. And if you focus on grades and acheiving a lot.....who do you think all eyes will be on in your reunion?? Hope i helped! [ feverdancer03's advice column | Ask feverdancer03 A Question ]
LlamaGal answered Sunday February 13 2005, 11:19 am: Just be nice and friendy to every1. My sister has this plan where she brings in cupcakes for pretty much every1s b-day, and if that hasn't helped her nothing will. I mean, who doesn't like free cupcakes? Anyway, just say hi to everyone you know, like every time you see them, and talk to everyone, and you can just say things like, hey do you get this, or sumthin in class.
