Also try to remember that people care about others that care about themselves, to if you act like your a strong person, you carry yourself with confidence then you shouldnt have any issues. Try to be cool with a little bit of everyone so you can kinda know everyone thats in every "circle" in your school, so if you ever fall out of favor with one group, youll always have others that will welcome you in.
Try to dress presentable, but dont try to act "better then everyone else" word will get around that even though you look good and all youll still talk to others and give anyone a chance with you (to be friends) ; ) Ive found that usually the most popular people in schools (cause i jumped around alot in my school years) were people that KNEW at least one person from every circle in the school. You can even create your own circle by welcoming in people YOU like instead of having to think you need to join one like most school kids think when their just starting out. Try to cool with people and if the "popular" kids give you problems about talking to curtain people that "arent cool" just say you dont know them THAT well and you just see them around so they say whats up every now and then thats all. people just like to talk to you, no one can help that. you cant stop people from trying to talk to you. lol. (((people will be jealous in NO time flat if you can get that, and youll begin to be considered popular)) that what i did in school and even though i didnt think it was true, i was and still am considered one of the most popular people at my school. All i did was be cool with a little bit of everyone its that easy. ; ) good luck! [ missundersmock's advice column | Ask missundersmock A Question ]
Cardigan answered Monday August 18 2014, 5:45 pm: Be friendly to others! Think about how you like to be treated: smile warmly, give a sincere compliment, get involved in teams or clubs and help and encourage others, and also, be non-reactive. When you're nervous, it's easy to alienate people by being defensive or sarcastic. Instead, take an open, curious posture to people when they approach you. If you feel someone is picking on you, seek to understand and ask why. If it doesn't help, and it's truly malicious, seek help to stop it, you deserve to be treated with respect. Respect others and reach out to people you see hanging out alone, they're most likely looking for friends, too. [ Cardigan's advice column | Ask Cardigan A Question ]
