I wonder why the popular people "preppies" are so mean!! Or I guess I'm not their friends or whatever. How do I get to know them? I want to be popular, but it's hard because they think I'm a bitch. I've tried smiling to them and stuff. I've even tried making comments too! but i don't think that's enough. I hang out with the stoners and the opposite of preps. But I wish that I was more popular.
I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm depressed time to time, I don't even know why... It makes me so mad.
I guess what I'm asking is... How do I get to change people's opinion about me? I mean I don't want to be mean or anything, they just think I am. How do I change so that I could get along with them? How do I get close with people? I'm never that good w/ social skills. I'm so lost I don't want to suck up to people and fake laugh cuz thats just plain stupid.

Do you really want people who make mean comments about other people as your friends? Also, not all the time, but alot of times, popular kids tend to be nice but some of the most popular kids might set standards saying not to be nice. But, a lot of people who seem mean often are jealous of other people and feel insecure about themselves. I think you just have to act like yourself-you will find friends that way, popular or not.

I agree, being in the top group dosent mean everyone will look up to you.

Yeah- this is all true. Why do you want to be with them? Are you happy with your friends you are with?

who would want to be popular? be yourself I agree with martin. I wanted to be popular once because I thought that if I was in that top group I would have so many friends. Once I was close to that spot I noticed that my old friends started to hate me and the "new" ones I was making didn't like me anyway. I went back to my old friends because in the end they're the ones that are going to have your back. Just be yourself and if the "popular" crowd doesn't like you then they aren't worth worrying about.

I used to be popular. I was an a-hole. It's a 24/7 job. You have to put others down to put yourself up. It's based on superficial worth. No one cares about your personality. One day I woke up and severed all ties to them. I'm now a nerdy kid, and I love it. The popular kids suck. They really do. I'd hate to be one of them.

Being popular isn't all that great sure it can be better then getting picked on. Popular and non-popular people have good things and bad things for each one. If you are ment to be popular you will be but don't change yourself just to try and get into a group.

Dear Chelly:
A lot of the time, you attract people who are similar to you. So, if you want to become one of them, you have to act like one fo them - is that what you really want though?

Popular doesnt mean you have to be mean. People don't like mean people, even if it seems like it. They arent hanging out with them because they LIKE them, they're scared of them. And they probably talk shit about them behind their back and you really dont want that. Be friendly and nice to everyone and DONT talk bad about people.
