How do I become popular with the students?

Question

My life is already a living h**l regardless, but I'm starting school soon and I don't want to stressed anymore like last time. I want to be prepared. How do I become a popular student?

Answer 1

Don't talk behind people's backs. Keep most of your negative thoughts to yourself. Try to put a smile on even if you're not having a good day. Don't treat anyone badly, regardless of whether or not you think that person is popular or worth your time. Carry around extra pens, gum, extra paper, etc., so that when someone says "Does anyone have a piece of gum?" or "I need a pen", you can help out. Don't let it go too far to where you're buying friends with school supplies or anything. Just be nice without letting yourself get run over. If someone is rude to you, don't be rude back. Don't suck up to teachers, don't snitch on anyone for a small infringement of the rules, and don't let people copy your homework if you sense you're being used. Maybe ask to borrow a pencil or something, too. People like to feel needed. You can thank the person, then return it at the end of class. It can start a conversation if you do it right.  

Answer 2

Well, lose the "life is an emotional h**l" baggage, to start.  Nobody wants to hear you complain.

Then, just be friendly.  Get other people to talk about their life.

It's that simple.

Answer 3

NOTE: Before I type these steps, let me say, there is no such thing as being popular. The people you label as 'popular' are simply outgoing, or have a large number of friends. They have their own personalities, and don’t have to be a different person to make friends. Also, if students discover you are labeling people, or trying to be as ‘popular,’ chances are, they would brush you off for being something you are not. Just be yourself.

Here are the steps which helped me make a lot of friends during my freshman year of high school. You can print them if you like. lol

Let’s start with the basics:

*Bathe daily (If you don’t bathe daily, try to smell nice daily.)

*Smell nice

*Never wear the same clothes everyday

1.) Wear something nice.

EXPLANATION: Wearing something nice would let the students see you as either normal, or trashy. Don't wear anything dirty or bummy. Also, don't wear anything that wouldn't bring a lot of attention to yourself, like a Punk mohawk, Goth clothes, Emo clothes, etc. People would only see you as being fake, or laugh at you. Simply be yourself but wearing nice clothes, which blend in with everyone else.

FOR ME: I feel comfortable in Apple Bottoms, Baby Phat, or just regular clothes that I feel look nice.

TIP: Find a decent looking style, and use it.

2.) Make at least one friend.

EXPLANATION: When you make a friend, get to know the person, and if (s)he's outgoing, you're in the driver's seat, if (s)he's not, find make another friend, until you find one that's outgoing. NEVER forgot about your other friends though.

FOR ME: The girl I met actually was the reason I made friends. I just stuck with her, and everyone who liked her, liked me.

TIP: If you don't feel comfortable doing it alone, you can take your new shy friends along with you, (if made any.) Keep in mind, when starting a conversation with someone, do it casually, start small. Like, "Hi, how are you?" Then start talking. Have a sense of humor for when the conversation gets deeper. People love to laugh. Don't worry, most people don't bite, but if you do meet someone mean, stop talking him/her.

3. Keep in touch with your new outgoing friend.

EXPLANATION: You need your outgoing friend to show you the ropes on making friends.

FOR ME: I met a girl in Colorado on my first day, who turned out to be really outgoing, then in class, we started talking to more girls and we became friends.

TIPS: When meeting other people through your friend, remember, be yourself. If the person likes your friend, chances are, they would like you too if you just be yourself, and don't change your personality. However, if the person doesn't like you regardless, forget them, and move on to the next person.

4. Get to know your friend's friends.

EXPLANATION: Also, don't forget to met THEIR friends. Try asking your new friends who they know, and ask when you can meet them sometime to have a get-together, and make more friends.

FOR ME: Luckily, we had the same classes for three periods, and after following by sitting at the same table, we met the people we sat with, and became their friend. A couple of days later, we exchanged phone numbers. We met up with each other at the mall, and the cycle never stopped. I was LOADED with friends.

TIPS: When meeting other people through your friend, remember, be yourself. If the person likes your friend, chances are, they would like you too if you just be yourself, and don't change your personality. However, if the person DOESN'T like you, forget them, and move on to the next person.

* Be sure to continue ALL the steps, non-stop, so you can make a lot of friends. Seriously, it worked for me, now everyone in the school knows me, whether in Denver or Chicago. Eventually, you'll find yourself going to parties without being nervous because you'll have all your friends, and you can get a boy/girlfriend easier because your friends would be on good terms with the opposite s*x as well.

NOTE: You must repeat EVERY step for this to work.

Hope I helped! ^__^

Answer 4

Get out there and be social, but don't change yourself to please anyone and what they consider to be the "Perfect Image". Just by being yourself and treating people the way you would want to be treated would help you make a lot of friends.



P.S. Join a couple of clubs that your school has. It will make you more known around the school. I hope things in your life will turn out for the better.

Answer 5

Do not go looking around pleasing the people and waisting your time and energy, rather save it for your studies, having the best scores, develop excellent habits and always ask your teacher that if you could assist her/him for any help. Be decent, nice and kind to every one but do not allow any one to take advantage in an undesirable way. As you shine like a rising Sun people will automatically notice you. If they don't, don't worry that is there hard luck. Be friends with your books, to have the best career and excellent habits. Take balanced diet full of green leafy vegetables, fruit and fruit juices, milk and milk products, whole grain cereals, do regular exercise and yoga for mind body training and strength, have a good at least 8 hour sound sleep, quality recreation and no bad habits and or smoking, drugs, alcohol, bad life style, also no bad company at all. You will see the improvement for your self in all spheres of life. Review at bed time honestly with your self, what you have done and where you can do better and then do it.
