Are you gonna leave all of your other friends just to be with them? You should probably think about it all before you go and ne baest friends with the "popular" kids. I mean you can do whever you want nobody is holding you back. But one you loose old friends there hard to get back. Most of the "popular" people really arent that nice (no offence) but they get into lots of drama and do you really wanna deal with al that? I would say just be yourself. Pople should like you for you. Sorry that wasnt much advise to you question but that what i had to say.

And hell, TALK to them.
But popularity is nothing. It doesn't show up on your college resume. It doesn't get you rich. It doesn't do anything.
Being 13 is an awkward time in life. I went through wanting to be "popular" in 5th and 6th grade and harshly learned that they'll never accept me because you can't be yourself with them. I have friends who are in the popular crowd, but I'm not popular. I just talk to people and ignore the fact that they are junior high royalty. They are normal people, just like you. They put their pants on one leg at a time, just like you (as my dad says, and it's very true).
Enjoy life at 13, don't fret about being popular. Like I said, it gets you nowhere in life. 20 years from now, no one will remember who was teen royalty in your school. [ fatalxheart's advice column | Ask fatalxheart A Question ]

You have to be thin, with a good amount of money and the courage to do things you really don't want to. Basically, you'll spend most of your time trying to please them and then the other half wondering why they're so judgemental/full of bullshit about each other. Its a funny world ain't it, how some people can seem so perfect yet they're more screwed up that you? Don't follow them simply because they're "Popular," late in life when your 26 with a good job you won't care what you wore or what you listened to, but more about the good friends that you didn't need to act/dress a certain way to please. Stay unique. [ Friday_im_in_love's advice column | Ask Friday_im_in_love A Question ]
Nallie answered Saturday May 27 2006, 2:01 pm: I know that it seems like it is important to be popular, but later on in life all these Jr. High games won't really matter. The most important thing is to be yourself. People should like you for who you are and not someone you pretend to be. If you are comfortable with who you are, you will gain more attention than if you try to be a fake and be someone else. Join some activities and get to know people who like the same things you like. In no time at all you will make friends, and it doesn't matter if they are in the popular crowd or not. [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]

You gota have style, try cute stuff like ( of course, Hollister and Abercrombie, Forever 21 is also cheap and REALLY CUTE, Charlotte Russe is great too!)
Be nice, to everyone, always smile.
Don't be afraid to be crazy, outgoing, and happy all the time. You gota have the confidence, its the most important key.
Try hanging out with the popular crowd more. Start by hanging out with one or two of them, like inviting them to the mall, then work your way up to all of them!
Make plans alot, get a tan over the summer, stay fit, and make sure your hair looks good =D
Flirt with guys, be sweet to everyone, don't be a backstabber, don't lie, and say hi to everyone in the halls without over doing it!
Just have fun, and be confident, the rest is all you. [ duudee_advicer's advice column | Ask duudee_advicer A Question ]
Krupple answered Saturday May 27 2006, 1:26 pm: Be pretty
be thin
be witty
don't whine
don't be yourself
be sad on the inside
sell your soal to Satan.
Being popular isn't all it's cracked up to be. But the above actually is a good way to start.
