Hey.
Ok. Im not trying to sound cliche here or anything but, popularity is nothing. Just be yourself.
High school is something your supposed to remember and cherish forever.
Dont waste your time trying to be popular.
Find yourself a good batch of friends and stick with them,
and make tons of memories with them,
and if more people want to be your friend..
well then, thats awesome.
If not, well then at least you have a few great friends that you will never forget.
Just have fun! Dont pretend to be something else, High school will be over before you know it, and you will wish that you would've been yourself..its funner that way!!
Hope I helped.

That is so stupid. High school really isn't like that. Just be yourself & you'll make plenty of friends.

Well, in our school, we have two kinds of popular people. We have the vain ones who won't bother to talk to anybody else and have the need to bring others down to boost themselves up.
And then we have the ones who talk to everybody, aren't vain and they're really cool and they're not even TRYING to be popular, it's just they talk to everybody and fit in with all groups. [ and also even talk to the "vain popular" people ]
I think you should go for the second one. Just starting talking to all sorts of random people and be yourself, be confident, and talk and get to know them. Bring something up about the class and carry the conversation on from there. And then just continue the conversation daily and make some jokes and make them laugh. And just start asking them questions to show you have an interest in them and want to know about them more.
And try and join a social event or a club and meet more people who have similar interests as you, so there's already a conversation starter right there and something you have in common!
But as you enter highschool, it doesn't really matter whose popular and whose not because there's going to be whole new grades of people and there'll be new kids and it's not going to matter to them if you're popular or not. After you get older, the idea of popular people is kind of silly. The only reason people really get popular is whenver school starts, these friends form a group, the group brings other down, and acts like their the head honchos, and after awhile people are afraid to tell them they're not, so then they become the head honchos. It really just depends on who you're friends with, that's all.
I hope I helped. <3

Heya babes. well tell you what when i was in school i used to hang around with the popular group and it's not what you think. they go around picking on people and their lives are pretty much boring because they always worry about their looks and being better than everyone else. It wasn't till my last year when i finally plucked up the courage to hang around with people who are actualy nice. coz lets face it, it's scary being on the popular kids bad side. i had the best time of my life because i was having fun and i didnt care what anyone thought about me.
anyway year 9 doesnt normally have popular and none popular everyone gets on with life and start to find those things rather silly. so don't worry babes you will find a good group of friends and won't care if u are popular or not. And as for being shy im sure you will come out of your shell and become your own person and not need a group to lead. hope i helped love jem xxxxxxxx

Hey honestly,
you know everyone wants to be liked and accepted,
but popularity isnt everything.
Did you know that the most popular of people, they are the most insecure, which is why they tease and bring others down, to make themselves feel better. NOT all popular people are this way, but most are known to be arrogant and rude.
Dont strive for that, just strive to be well liked by everyone. Treat EVERYONE with respect, .. like you would like to be treated.
Be friends with everyone, and befriend people who need friends. Highschool is about meeting new people. Even though there are a ton of cliche things in movies about what highschool
thats not what its all about.
You cant be ashamed of the people you hang out with, because thats what you call your friends.
Join clubs, be on sports team, debate, student council..
etc.
Get involved.
