If I am to be totally honest with you, I don't think it's something you can ever really work to achieve. You can be the best person you can be and have the best friends in the world and still not be the most popular girl in school.
On the flipside of this, you can be a terrible person and treat people like dirt and go on to be voted Prom Queen.
You say you have a lot of popular friends. Surely being popular means having lots of friends and being friends with the popular crowd? If this is the case then perhaps you already are popular but it just isn't living up to your expectations?
But really I have to admit that I am not a great fan of popularity because trying to achieve it is something bound mostly to make people miserable. After all, it is much better to have two or three terrific friends who truly value you and your opinion than to have 30 people who admire you now but will drop you like a hot potato if something happens and you need their support.
What I'm saying is, at the end of the day, being popular is okay but rather than spending your time trying to achieve something that you don't know would make you happy when you could be so much happier with just having a few good friends that you know you can really count on. After all, it won't matter how popular you were when you've left school. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]
