Trying to be popular


Question Posted Wednesday May 30 2007, 5:38 pm

one of my best friends has become obsessed with being popular. unfortunately, the popular kids dont even like her. so she just follows them around and tries to look like shes with them. sometimes one of them will ask her to go to the movies or something, but only because they need a ride there. then when they get there they ignore her or ditch her. then she sends them messages like "why wont you be my friend? am i not popular enough for you?" shes making a fool of herself and im really embarrassed for her. i wish i could say something to her, but what would i say? or is it better to just let her figure it out on her own?

I understand how you feel. One of my friends tried following me and my friends around because I was more "in" with the popular crowd, I tried to include her but she tried too hard and that made my other friends uncomfortable. Tell her straight out that she is trying to hard, and getting friends come natural and if it is meant for her to be friends with them then it will happen, if not she has others.

i don't think shes gonna learn, only because every time they acknowledge her, she gains hope. and that hope isn't easily beaten down. its gonna be up to you to show her and prove to her that shes better than them. She'll learn it eventually but not without the help of a real friend.

Ya you could try showing that you're a real friend. By inviting her over and treating her as a better friend than they do

Well;you should try talking to her.Face to Face;at your house.Try telling her why their not her real friends and how they use her.Really they could hurt her one of these days and you should try to help her now since your a real friend of hers and it would be really helpful too.
