Article: Avoid sticking to just one group. Flutter from one group to another, and invite those who sit alone to join you! If they are too shy, join them instead, and make sure as many people as possible feel included. If it isn't possible to talk face to face with one or more of your friends, text or email them a sweet message to let them know you care for them. It's best to not just stick with one group of friends. Instead, have a few circles: Have one circle of friends you are very close with. Outside of the circle of close friends, have a circle of normal friends you can talk to and fool around with. Surrounding the circle of normal friends will be acquaintances, or people you don't normally talk to every single day, but you are friendly with. Treat everyone else who isn't your friend (acquaintances) neutrally. Have no bad thoughts or show any bad feelings to anyone. You don't have to treat them too kindly or meanly - just show enough friendliness and kindness to get by. That way, no one can ever say you were mean to them, and people will start looking up to you! If there is someone you can't stand, treat them neutrally either way. Who says you have to like them to treat them neutrally? Remember that they are a human being like you as well, and consider giving them a chance. Get on good terms with them! Perhaps you got the wrong impression. However, do not ignore the annoying person, or they may get angry at you and try to do something harmful to get back at you. Don't form enemies in the school - that's the last thing you want to do when trying to become popular. Do not attempt anything that you know will provoke or hurt them. Word might get around, and your chances of becoming popular will shatter. However, it's best to stick with just texting in case some people get annoyed with the phone ringing constantly. Overdoing this is not good at all, as people will find you just annoying, and it'll give you a bad reputation. Joining clubs and activities is one of the most efficient and popular ways to improve your social status, and get your name around the school! Plus, you can form new bonds while participating in an activity you enjoy. If they look intently focused on something, save your hello for later when they're less busy. Interrupting their focus will most likely bother them, and cause them to dislike you, even if you were only trying to be nice and friendly. Treat them kindly, but don't be their servant just to please them. Do enough to receive their favor, and in return, they'll be kind to you and maybe do nice things for you as well. Avoid the snobs. There is nothing you can do to entirely please them, and they'll only look down on you. Go for the kinder popular people. Know right and wrong from what they ask you to do. If what they're asking you to do is wrong, don't do it just to please them. If your goal is to be a popular person without being rude, stick with it, and earn your popular status by not being rude! Have a polite, formal tone, and let it betray none of your inner feelings. Even though your opinion may be the right thought, it will not seem right to the other person. Don't sound like you know you're right, and act like the other person is wrong, or you'll come off as snobby.
