hey dude dont worry about being in the "popular" group, choose friends that have the same interests as you, and eventually you can be in the popular group once many people get to know you. Thats what happend to me.

Finding my/your "group" (popularity?)

Hey, the biggest piece of single advice anyone can give you here is to not pick a certain "group", but to just be friends with anyone that you want to. I hang out with people from all different groups, and because I try to be friends with all sorts of people, a lot of people know who I am. Don't limit yourself to one group of people because they have the same interests or whatnot. You'd be surprised, some of the most interesting people may have little to nothing in common with you. Just try giving everyone a fair chance at being your friend. I mean, whats there to lose?

When I first came into high school, i was in the popular group, Me and a few others could say anything and everyone would listen, everyone wanted to hang out with you. But honestly, i didnt belong there. My connections with the popular people started to drop a bit until i was on the lowest level of the popular people. I finally got rid of that group and joined a few others. Mostly because i am obssesed with basketball and they were willing to play bball at lunch, unlike the popular people who only wish to talk or whatever. But, im still unsecure with my social life. We seem like pretty good friends in school but we rarely do anything together away from school. Maybe it is because they dont share as many interests as i do. I think i know how you feel, i still dont feel im in my right group.Just a note on how shallow teenagers are.When i first came into the school, when i was popular, there were some people that would just smile and laugh at anything i said no matter how stupid it was. Now, that im in a slightly lower group, they wont even speak to you.

In high school I was "tolerated" in the popular group. What I mean by that is I could sit with a bunch of them and they'd pretend like I was "one of them". Everytime I did sit in that particular group of people all they did was gossip about each other. I don't know about everyone else but I don't find that very fun.I guess the beginning of the "group" I hung out with was when a few people I knew decided to meet up at lunch during my sophomore year. Soon, friends of friends decided to hang out with us and eventually it became a giant group. We all have similar senses of humor and that's what makes it fun to hang out with them. Most of us still see each other even though we're all out of school now. Similar personality characteristics bond people, so just be yourself and the right people will find you.

if you want to be in a particular group all you have to do is become friends with one person from the group, and theyll get you in. in my school, i guess you can say im part of the "popular" group. but like we're not just preps. we're kinda like a combination of everything. like i dress really cute and stuff and im a cheerleader but me n all of my friends drink and get high. like its not just like ohh we're the preps- we dont do anything bad- we prob do more bad stuff then anyother group. its a weird thing, but if ur accepted by one person in the group, every1 else will accept u too.

heres some advice - highschool sucks, by the time you realize that popularity doesnt matter school will be over.
SOOOOO if this is really importantn to you this is what you should do:
although this is mean in order to get in the good books of the popular guys you need to serparate yourself from the losers entirely.
Dont try to suck up to them, just surround yuself around them and be yourself, they will notice if u try to hard, be yourself.
People who worry about thier status never get anywhere, in my experience i became the centre of popularity just by being myself, i would be nice to the loserest losers and the most popular people and they saw that which rose my level.
remember, happiness is most important, be with people who make you happy! -
You have to just be an all around "good guy." You need to either be head over heals belonging to one group or be slightly in them all. I hang with just aboutanyone who wants to talk to me (execpt for a few jocks who I want to murder because they used to harrass my best bro). I like being able to talk to everyone because I can keep up on gossip (except for that stuff girls will never let guys here, man that gets to me) and I can get a hug just about anywhere I need one when I'm down. Thats my case but it might not be your case, it just depends on you. :grin:
