Since day one I've been the girl nobody likes...no I'm not mean or a horrible person I do have some friends...but back to my question on the first day of 6rd grade my teacher said "In middle school mean kids pick on less popular kids but in high school nobody talks to them." and that has been haunting me for the last two years I'm scared...so scared...I'm changing my look for this year I think I look really cute and pretty! and I keep saying to myself "Maybe your get a date to 8th grade prom!" but then I hear a little voice in the back of my head "year right ugly betty" or something like that...Im scared any tips on how to make it out alive?

  1. ugly bettY ? no . find your self a reallly cute out fit that pops out, but is still cute. do your hair nice, and join in activities that other people you would like to talk to are in.  


  2. its a dilusion, and the first thing that would achieve this dilusion is ur fear, be brave and encourage urself to take the right step which is to strengthen ur selfconfidence, always remind urself u already have ur own friends so ull never be loney even if u dont make new friends this year, right??, and about what ur teacher said is incorrect totally, u dont have to be popular to glow, just be urself and take care of ur friends u already have plus ur new look will distract others attention that ur improving ur personality....no worries.

  3. look  just be yourself you don't have to go and impress people to have them be your friends and if they don't like you for who you are then they're not worth your time trust me  

  4. in high school , its the oppisite all u have to do is just be outgoing, and beleive in urself, never doubt urself.

  5. find new friends and just always be happy and friendly no matter what. and say for example someone that you know calls you a name in front of one of your new friends...just totally ignore it and pretend you dont know who that person is talking to. it only takes one time for you to get a bad rep. I would ack like a totally different person and act like you sh** dont stink if you know what i mean.   its worth a try

    good luck!

  6. ok, i was totally freaked about the same thing, but i just had my 1st day of 8th today. it's actually really fun! u make a lot of new frends. to be honest, the only thing to worry a slite bit about, is the homework. but really, the only tips i wuld hav 4 u, wuld b to take it easy, and complement urself at least once a day. that boosts up ur confidence level. (but u hav 2 b creativ! b-leve in ur complements!) i promis ull do AMAZINGLY WELL.

    b-leve in urself!

    =P

  7. Oh, god. THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED WITH ME! But I went to 8th grade forgetting all my past predjudices and everything, and honestly, now I absolutely LOVE school. Everything will be great if you have a good outlook on things.

    You'll be fine.

  8. just be yourself. be glad that you have at least some friends. not everone has to like you. dont worry

  9. just take it day by day and relax. your teacher was wrong. im in 9 grade and the seniors r relly nice to me, even the guys. start fresh, smile, and make new friends. who cares if you dont get a date to the prom. u have plenty of time to find a guy. be yourself

  10. Just be yourself(:

    Go up to some people and talk.....don't worry about the voice in your head,you'll be fine sweetie

  11. well 1st of all,

    your teacher is very retarded

    in middle school nobody picks on anyone

    only like as a joke if they do

    and in highschool

    everyone talks to everyone

    we leave the childish stuff back in middle school

    but youll be perfectly fine

    if you dont get a date then who cares?

    go with your friends and have a good time

    make some new friends

  12. dont worry just get good grades and the popular kids will work for you youll be fine just talk to different people and you make classmates into friends and maybe bffs later

    dont be cocky

    be confident

    dont act stupid

    be friendly

    dont be a tag-a-long

    be truthful

    dont reveal your whole life at once

    let others talk

    dont hang out with just the popular group

    be helpful to teachers

    dont bail on your old friends

    be comfortable with yourself and have FUN!

  13. it's just school.

    you are over reacting it's 8th grade...school...learning...don't worry

  14. wat f*d up teacher told u that??? its so untrue. i mean it. like, really. that's stupid.

    don't worry, no boys like me either... that probably won't help but you know...

    if you think you look cute, then have fun with it! don't listen to the voice. have fuuun :)

  15. Oh..Don't worry,don't be sad.

    I know that what I'm saying is not helping you at all and not even making you feel relieved.

    Maybe you can show a photo of before and after,and we can tell you what we think from out p.o.v.

  16. You'll be fine, just be confident.

  17. you should be fine meet new people i thought the same thing but it was jus nerves and that teacher who cares u will b fine! i am in 8th grade also

  18. Be yourself! That's all that matters!!!

  19. Be more confident and outspoken, and people will want to be your friends.

    And what your teacher said? Is she trying to discourage you? She sounds like a naff teacher.

  20. i kno exactly how you feel. i suggest...

    -becoming closer to the friends that you have

    -try making a few new friends in ur classes

    -try a new look (which u said ur doing)

    -be yourself ( i kno it sounds cheesy but keep reading) just have fun with ur friends, dont care what the "popular girls" think (even tho its hard!!)  if they dont like you for you they arent ganna like you for being someone you arent.

    good luck :]

    PS: im starting 8th grade on wednesday!!

  21. you'll be fine, stop worrying so much, make new friends.


  22. just remeber the people that don't like you for who you are are a******s,

    you are a drama queen , from i can tell

    who the f*ck cares if you are popular or not, that sh*t is old

    you need to focus on school and have a great time

    somebody doesn't like you, ignore them and move on

  23. dont listen to what those kids say.becuz in 8th grade, everyone makes fun of everyone. only a few kids dont get piked on, and those are the ones that are considered "popular".

    dont worry, just chill out with your friends and have a good year! 8th grade is supposed to be a really fun year.

  24. Go to my profile and check out my question "School survival tips?".

    A lot of people answered it.

  25. I'm scared too, but if I were you, just stand straight, head up high, and be confident and be nice to people and don't swear cause that's a total turn off!!

    Hope that helps!

  26. i'm going into 8th grade too, dont try too hard to be liked or noticed, youll make a fool of yourself, you sound like a really nice person and cool, if i went to your school i'd probably be your friend. just be yourself and do what you like to do, and say what you mean and whats on your mind. people will come to you!

    if you want any more advice or anything IM me or email me anytime =]

  27. At leat you have friends ;]

  28. well i think you'll do fine

    i think that teacher was horrible for making you scared!

  29. i started high school today and i thought that i would get lost or something horrible. but i went and i had a fun time. my teachers were nice and stuff. it will be fine. meet new people and try to make friends.   good luck

  30. Im not sure why they dont like you. but as long as you hae friends by your side and are confident your the best you can be youll be fine .  

  31. What your 6th grade teacher forgot to mention was that after high school, no one cares any more.  Really.  Once you get out of high school, the whole popular/not popular thing is so over.  I can tell you, as an adult, that I had a really rough time when I was your age, and it hurt so much.  I wish I realized then that in the long run, no one cares what you looked like/how popular you were in middle school or high school.
