Well if people don't like you and accept you for who you are..SCREW EM! Don't change to get popular because people will think you are a poser!

It's not really about other people liking who you are. It's about YOU liking who you are. People like to be around people who like themselves.

Think about it. I'm sure you can visualize a kid in your school who seems like they hate themselves, like they are desperate and needy, and they are socially awkward. This person probably doesn't have a lot of friends, and it's NOT because they aren't as good as anyone else.

If you genuinely like who you are, and you are that person all the time, then you'll be comfortable and friendly with other people. People notice self-confidence, and they also like people who are comfortable enough to shift the focus onto them - ask people how they are, how their summer was, etc.

So, I won't tell you to be yourself. I'll only tell you to like yourself.

And that way, when you find a good group of friends who really care for you - rather than just a mob who barely know your name - you'll be with people who like you for the same reasons you like yourself.

Best of luck.

If your already being yourself there is probably nothing you can do.But mabye during a free period like lunch just sit with some people that you dont even know and start a conversation.Or even in class sit next to someone you dont know and quielty ask whats going on.Hope this helped.

Just join a whole crapload of groups, or ask the friends who you already know to introduce you to their friends, etc. Believe me, I'm a nerd with a bunch of friends. Hope I helped!

Hi there,
Want to be popular, here some tips:
-Make yourself over meaning if you were glasses, change to contact lens, or high light your hair or color your hair. etc, etc.
-Audition for everything available in your school
play, parts, teams. You'll make loads of friends doing that.
-Join activities that you interest or close to being interest.
-Get yourself into being a student representative a.k.a student council a.k.a leadership organization.
-Join a cheerleader team
And atleast one of them will work, because it works for me. consider myself as a pretty activist person and I get loads of friends. (however im moving into new school)

Tell me how its going. Take care.
Patty
