Question Posted Thursday February 3 2011, 3:57 pm
I am 15 and a girl. I am having trouble at school. My friendship group are very Geeky, however i am not. I just moved last term but now i have realised I got myself into the wrong group.
There is a popular group who all the boys like and they are all close and good friends.
How do i brake from my current group and join what we call "the populars"
Please help!

It's a cliche to say "just be yourself', but it's a cliche because it's true. If you're relaxed and confident about who you are, people usually respond to that positively.
One thing you DON'T want to do is try to fit in with these popular girls by making fun of or bullying your 'geeky' friends. You will lose any chance of being their friend again, ever, and even the popular girls will see through what you're doing eventually. You may not want to hang out with the geeks anymore, but that doesn't mean you have to be mean to them.
Lastly, focus on what YOU like to do and where you like to go. It's fine to be popular, but don't let it eat up your time and personality! People respond to strong, positive individuals - so be one. [ Sageadvisor's advice column | Ask Sageadvisor A Question ]
