How To Be Popular In High School

I'm going to tell you how to become pretty and popular in high school!!! Step by step!!!

1. JOIN EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. Whether you're into basketball, cheerleading, French club, or band, joining a few extra-curricular activities can help you become more popular simply because you'll get to know a wider variety of people. If you only get to know the people in your classes, you'll be missing out a wider variety of amazing people from your school. You'll also find it easier to connect with people who share the same interest as you, so you'll be more likely to make friends. Remember that, to be popular , people have to actually know who you are -- what better way is there to get your name out there than to get involved in extra-curricular activities???

2. GET TO KNOW THE PEOPLE IN YOUR CLASSES.Though it's important to be a good student, you should still be able to find time to relax and make a few friends in your classes. Whether you're chatting it up with your lab partner or the person who sits behind you in Algebra II, you should make an effort to get to know the people in your classes -- without disrupting your learning, of course!

3. BE YOURSELF!There's nothing worse than being fake, because then your "friends" won't like you for you. Have the confidence to know that you're an amazing person who has a lot to offer, and you'll be more likely to attract a diverse group of interesting people. Don't tell people what you think they want to hear just to make them like you and avoid bragging just to make yourself sound cool. People will be able to tell if you're just trying to impress them or suck up to them, and you'll be less likely to make friends with them. Instead, slowly open up and let people know about who you are and the things that really matter to you.

4.BE GENUINELY NICE.Nobody likes a stuck up person. Smile to the people you know in the hallways. Don't act like you're better than them; arrogance is a huge turn off. If someone mentions you, you want them to talk about your good side, not your bad side. However don't over do it or they'll just start using you. You may think that you have to act like one of the Mean Girls to be popular, but in reality, this won't get you very far.

5.STAND UP FOR YOURSELF WHEN YOU NEED IT.If you want to make genuine friends, then you can't let people walk all over you. If you stick to your guns and know when to defend yourself, you'll actually gain respect and will be more likely to make more friends and to gain popularity. If you're nice to people just because you want them to like you, you won't get very far and you won't be respected.

6.DONT BE AFRAID OF NEW PEOPLE. If you're friendly and are always going up to new people and making small talk with them, you'll be on your way to easily making friends. You shouldn't be excited to get to know new people, no matter what crowd they're in or what grade they're in. Of course, you should take it slow and not bombard new people, or people who look busy, but if you find an opportunity to talk to someone new, like if you're at your locker by yourself with another person at his locker standing next to you, then you should take it.

>When you're talking to new people, you should take things easy, talking about your classes, your hobbies, or what music you like. Ask the person a few easy questions to show that you care. You can talk about the serious stuff later, when you get to know each other better.

7.DRESS WELL!You don't need the most trendy or expensive clothes to be popular, but you do need to look like you've put some time into your outer appearance. This isn't mean to sound superficial; it's just a fact that people who dress better are taken more seriously and are treated with more respect than people who maintain a sloppy appearance, whether they are at a job interview or meeting people at a party. Wear clothes that fit you, that are free of wrinkles, and that are clean, and people will be more likely to notice you.

8.MAINTAIN GOOD HYGIEN.Take a shower, shave, brush your teeth, put on deodorant, and keep your body and hair nice and clean. Though smelling fresh and clean is important, you should make sure not to load up on too much perfume or cologne or it'll be just as bad as if you don't bathe at all.

9.MAKE GOOD DECISIONS!Don't drink, smoke, run away, or sneak out. Bad choices can damage your life before it starts, and this will not make you popular. You may think that you will get noticed if you act rebellious or break some rules, and you really will get noticed, but not for long, and not for the reasons you want people to recognize you for. There's a difference between being popular for being well-rounded and friendly and developing a bad reputation.

> It's easier to make good decisions when you surround yourself with people who have good heads on their shoulders. If you fall prey to bad influences, you'll be more likely to make bad decisions yourself.

10.WOW PEOPLE WITH YOUR CONFIDENCE.If you're happy with who you are, what you do, and what you look like, people will be able to tell from a mile away. Smile at people and don't be afraid to say hi to them or to strike up a conversation. Walk with your head high and have positive body language, good posture, and a friendly energy whenever people notice you. This will make people want to get to know you and will make them interested in who you are.

11.DONT MAKE FUN OR BULLY OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE IT WONT MAKE YOU POPULAR. Even though you might think that it will help boost your popularity, people will think badly of you. Do not do it, since it is not fair to become popular at another person's expense! Plus, bullies may be feared, but they are rarely popular.

12.DONT FORGET YOUR STUDIES!Remember to focus on your studies at the same time. Your grades are way more important than your social status. If you do well in school, you will be noticed for being a good student, and will have more opportunities to meet more people. Sure, you don't want to look like a nerd, but if you're proud of how hard you work, other people will appreciate you.

13.MAKE FITNESS A PRIORITY!Whether you're hitting the gym or excelling in a school sport, exercising will not only make you look good, but it will make you feel good about yourself. And if you feel good about who you are, then more people will notice you as an awesome, confident person who is worth getting to know. Though exercise alone won't help you win any friends, it can contribute to a lifestyle that will lead you to be more popular.
