I moved here in 6th grade and I've always wanted to be popular...So I tried hanging with the white popular people and it seriously was HARD work!! Each year, things got better..and now I'm at that point where we'd be better friends if I'd invite them over (I haven't invited them over yet because I'm embaress that they will say that my house is small compared to theres..or that they will make fun of my lifestyle..and everything) I'm now in 11th grade..and I really want to be friends with these people..I don't think I can keep a close relationship with them if I never invite them over...I'm just very embaressed of the way I live...Compared to them, I'm so much uglier and poorer..and they're rich...Please don't judge..Thanks

so if you feel that you need to invite them to your house then do it, but if they make fun of your lifestyle, i can bet they arent your real friends. [ JcWiLdCaTz05's advice column | Ask JcWiLdCaTz05 A Question ]
sunshine805 answered Saturday April 23 2005, 1:54 am: If they are you're real friends, they won't care about how your house is or anything. They would just be being stupid. If you don't want to invite them over to your house, then go to the mall or the beach or something. [ sunshine805's advice column | Ask sunshine805 A Question ]

Micah answered Saturday April 23 2005, 12:02 am: if they care what you look like and what your house looks like, they arent true friends, and he long run, they arent the friends you want, no matter how popular or fun they are. you need to find friends that will like you for who you are, not what you look like and how you live. and just enjoy life, dont worry about what other people think.
ad0rkable answered Friday April 22 2005, 11:35 pm: Just because you are black shouldn't mean a thing. Why be popular!? There's no reason to change yourself for these girls. Invite them to your house. If they trash it, who cares! No one loses except them.
23xoTinkerBelleox32 answered Friday April 22 2005, 8:58 pm: wow, I think that these people are not you're friends if they won't like you because you're not "rich" friends are supposed to accept you for who you are... this does not sound like what they're doing. Just be yourself around them, invite them over, show them the good qualities of your "small" house... If they still like you... GOOD! Then maybe you can really start to be friends, if not, their loss! and you should find friends who can accept you for who you are!

vermillion26 answered Friday April 22 2005, 8:14 pm: i really dont think that being popular will make you happier, these people cant be your friends if you're scared of what they will think of you all the time. i would just get new friends that i felt comfortable with. but clearly, you don't want to do that. all i can tell you is that you can't force friendship, and thatjust beacause they are "prettier" and have more money doesn't mean that they're better people. remember that there is a life after high school. being popular won't help you then, it won't matter then. if you want these people to like you so bad, i know its cliche, but be yourself. have confidence. people are drawn to people with confidence in themselves. i have many friends who are much more well-off than i am, but i don't care and nither do they. these people aren't real friends if they're going to be so judgemental. people respect people who respect themsleves.
not_your_star34 answered Friday April 22 2005, 8:12 pm: I think that you should invite them over. If these people are true friends, they won't make fun of your lifestyle or any of that. If they do, they aren't worth you time, since you deserve better than that. And you are beautiful and don't let anyone tell you different!! Be confident! I hope I helped, and if you have anything else to ask, leave it in my inbox.

yesiliketobeme answered Friday April 22 2005, 8:10 pm: I say invite them over. if they judge you b/c you dont have as much money as them then there people that i personally wouldnt want to be friends with and i dont know anyone who would want to be.
but if you still dont want to invite them over why not ask them to go to the movies with you or mall or some hang out in your town.
hope i could help [ yesiliketobeme's advice column | Ask yesiliketobeme A Question ]
