HOW TO BE POPULAR IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
1.Consider that you may already be popular. Nobody--not even very popular  people, like movie stars--is popular with everybody! Everybody has their favorites. Just because somebody doesn't like you, doesn't mean you have tolike them.2.Plan (maybe) to be popular--here's how to do it. Look around at everybody inyour life and you may find you are already popular. Are you popular in your art class but not in phys-ed? Are you popular with grown ups? If you find youare already popular with people who like you, and people you like, perhapsyou don't have to worry about being popular so much.3.Join a Team, that's where you meet so many different people, and they likeyou a lot more. You would get to build basic teamwork with others, which willmake them a lot more comfortable around you. Just try and be a good friend(even if certain people are "impossible").4.Be happy. If you are unhappy with your appearance it is always possible tochange small things to make yourself feel better without investing a lot of money. Get a haircut if you hate your hair. Make changes carefully and makesure they are for you, not for other people. Don't take the advice of televisionon how to be popular, rather look and listen in real life!5.Try to exchange emails, or cellphone numbers, this way you can talk online,making it easier to establish friendships.6.Be friendly. Many people are afraid of the same things you are, even the mostconfident people are afarid of some things inside, although they will never leton. Being friendly to everybody shows that you are happy with yourself, and being happy with yourself is the fastest way to become popular.7.Tell people what you like about them. Everyone likes to be around someonewho makes them feel good. If you're shy, just start a conversation by saying"Oh, hey Megan, I like your bracelet!". Once you get going, say somethingabout yourself to show that you can poke fun at yourself, like "I don't knowhow you could walk up in front of the whole assembly like that; I can hardlywalk up stairs without falling back down!" Smile politely, and listen to whatothers have to say.8.Don't judge. Although it seems like the most popular people judge others allthe time, popularity starts with acceptance and being interested in other  people, not just in how they dress or who they hang out with. Don't be afraidto hang out with nerds, or anyone 'lower' than you. People will respect youand know you're a nice person.9.Get a hobby if you do not already have one. People who do things instead of worrying about popularity all the time are more interesting and you will find people coming to you if you have a hobby to talk about.10.Do your best in school. Just answer questions if you know them, and don't if,well, you don't know them! Have your homework done every day, don't be theone who has to just sit there looking like a fool or who holds up class withlame explanations.
 
11.Be nice. No one wants to be friends with someone who is mean or ugly on theinside.12.Do something nobody else would ever think of doing. If your school has atalent show then do something so out of the ordinary that your peers willworship you for having the guts just to do that on stage. Just remember that being different doesn't mean being inappropriate, you don't want to make afool out of yourself and lose the respect of others.13.Remember, the easiest way to be popular is to stop caring. If you stopworrying about whether or not your popular you will look way more laid back and cool.14.Don't be a meanie. That can really ruin your reputation if you let this go toyour head. A lot a people will like you if you are nice. Being nice can get youto be popular too. Just help people out and they will start liking you.
o
Worshipping the popular people will take you no where in life. Don't waiton them hands and feet all the time. Give them some slack.
o
Get to know people. You may like the same stuff they do.15.Don't be a snob because those people are not popular, they are bullies. Try to be nice to everyone.
Tips
•
If you don't think that the popular clique is right for you, then you don't need toget yourself in there. It's what you want that really matters.
•
When someone teases you or is mean, try not to get involved. Just walk away.This helps your social life A LOT.
•
 Never be mean! It doesn't help if you are pretty on the outside and not on theinside because it will make you ugly all over! Get it?
•
If you are a girl, wear only subtle make-up. Guys hate when you look painted.
•
If there is someone you want to be like, act like them! But not at the point whereyou look like you're copying them, but try to be similar.
•
If you want to be popular then you need to just be your self!!! No matter whatanyone will say to you, being your self is the best thing you can do... don't letanyone fool you!!!
•
Show everyone your best side. Also don't be afraid to shine in your own way. Thatmeans don't put others down thinking that will make you "popular" because the people you are trying to impress might think you will put them down too. Justmake people want to be around you.
•
"The Golden Rule" treat others the way you want to be treated.
•
If you are looking for the get popular quick method (which does not guaranteeyou'll stay up there) then join a football team (if your a boy) or cheer leading (if your a girl) this is
not 
recommended unless you are really really desperate
•
Be more out-going. Don't be afraid to share a joke or story with the class.
•
The "Platnium Rule" treat others as THEY want to be treated (because obviouslyif you're so mean to them you don't have much self respect)

Hi, have a look at my recent upload "The popular life" on: www.scribd.com/doc/15702437/The-Popul... Worth spreading to show the world on scribd that the author is selling an overpriced "almost-scam" and people should be warned to buy it! Thanks, erich70 (Delete)
