i would let her do as she pleases but i would kind of avoid her until she realizes that u can only BE popular if you are YOURSELF. u can become popular b/c u became friends with someone who IS, but if u hang on to a popular girl just b/c she’s POPULAR, u guys wont be friends for long… i wouldnt force her to stop trying, but she probably wouldnt be successful and i would be there to pick her up after she realizes her mistake.
i’ts really hard to here your friend say this! your friend has just told you that she wants to hang out with some other crowd! i would tell her that i would help her but… i would also tell her how i feel about it. if the populer crowd is nice mabye you could both be in it. if not then if she does dicide to go on with it try to plan times when you could hang out. like at lunch or after school or going to a movie together. remeber your friend is just trying to make some new friends. how would you feel if your friend always wanted you all to themselves? it is hard to see that your friend wants to hang out with other poeple….but put yourselvef in there shoes. hope this helps!-ally
Well, if the Popular people are nice then I’d help her. As long as she doesn’t forget me. But if they’re mean and treat her badly or say things behind her back then I’d Talk her out of it. But my very last resort would be Dumping her.
- Faery Queen <3 <3
i would probably try to talk her out of it just because she would most likely have to change a lot about herself and i don’t want her to change. it’s a tough one though!
I myself have no desire at ALL to be popular. If my friend was getting hurt by the populars then Id stand up for her and talk her out of it. I may not wanna be popular but she does so I cant crush her DREAMS.
If she wants to hang out with those populars she would forget me soon enough for her COOL new friends so I wouldn’t have to dump her myself. If she wants to hang out with them its her mistake not mine. I’d just let her go. If suddenly some people she hardly knows are better than her BFF of 3 years I wouldn’t even want to be her friend.
Popular people are actually pretty nice, so I would help my friend. I go to a private school and there are only 10 kids in my grade, so there aren’t really any seperate groups. We’re all kind of friends. That situation never really shows up in my school, and I’m glad. It’s so nice to be in a classroom with all girls and only 10 students! It’s like one big family!
I would try to talk her out of it! What’s the point in being popular? As long as you have friends who care about you it shouldn’t matter if you are popular or not
~Rachel~
OMG wats the big deal about popular people being mean i mean,admittidly,attitude(something me and my bffs have)is one thing but us being mean? NO WAY! people should just see that stereo types doesnt make the world go around and that not evrything is wat it seems,so this is coming from a person with expirience(im really popular) and if nobody belives me then thats there problem not mine….
What are you talking about? You are making the non populars sound like jerks for being mad at populars for what they do to them! They are mean to anyone who is not as far up on the popularity chain as they are. And please don’t tell me I have a stereotypical view of them because I come into contact with them every day and found just what you’re trying to say isn’t true is TRUE.
I am not a sterio type person, but just 2 back up the previos comment, i agree with her. If u have that strong of a rude attitude, then chances r, ur mean. I dont get the point of popular kids. I dont belive in popularity. I simply think that quote on quote”popular” kids THINK their popular.
That is sooo not true!!
I know that most movies and books make it seem like popular girls are really mean, but that is soo not true!!!! I mean maybe for a few popular girls its true, but not very many of them!! Me and my BFFs are really popular and we are not mean… AT ALL!!! Have you ever heard the saying… DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER??? Well that is exactly what your doing now. I care about the enviorment, I have good grades and I’m really fun to be around and that is the ONLY thing that makes me popular. Its not because I’m snobby or rude or really rich, but just because I am a good friend.
I hope you understand, because I was really offended by your comment. (Yeah OK…)
Well I’m sorry if people took that comment personally but I wasn’t aiming it directly at anyone. Hey maybe you’re an exception to what I said but all I’m saying is in my time that I’ve spent at school I haven’t found one popular person that was nice to me or my friends yet.
I am not even close to being popular, and I don’t want to be. My friend just recently became popular but she is kind of trying to get out of it without hurting her “friend”. My friend hates the girl anyway, because she is really mean to me and my other friends. Any ides? And yes you are totally right. The “Yeah OK” girl is (right.)
No way would any of my friends want to be popular, we hang out with like fifteen other people they wouldn’t get to hang out with anymore, and most of them have enemies who are popular.
being popular is really over rated. people think that if you popular then your hands down a snob. most people and my school always call me and my friends popular but we really don't see how we got our name. we are really just friends having a great time. i think being popular is sometimes just being well know and liked. its not something you should strain over because you should be happy with the friends you have. there the ones who will be there at the end of the day. friends are irreplaceable, but being popular is something that will come and go. i believe friends are quiet angels who set on your shoulders and lift your wings when you forget how to fly. being popular can never compete.
U r ausome I totally agree people at my old school were mean and popular but I know for a fact not all popular people are mean! Plus that totally describes friends!
I think a TRUE friend would help her friend. If this is one of her desires, true friends would help another friend with anything, even with being popular! And who says you can’t be popular, to? If the pop squad is mean, turn them around! And if they’re nice, have fun with ‘em! There are endless oppertunities to friends, and if your BFF wants some new ones, (and still wants to be friends with you!) you can make some new friends, to! Who says the populars can’t be like true friends? BE a true friend… help your BFF with her dreams, and maybe yours, to!
I have a huge shot at being popular, since the most popular girl in the grade got to know me better, and now she’s thinks I’m a pop star diva mega-smart oceanographer artist or something. I like their crowd a lot. they’re nice to me, but then I’d be leaving behind my friends. So now I’m sometimes hanging out with the Upper Class, or I’m joking around with my old friends. And my friends are so great, they don’t take it personally! They barley notice, because, I’m being a little shallow on the PP side [Popular PPL].
If you really want to join the popular crowd, and don’t want to leave your friends behind, you can do it 2-way, but I’m not sure that would work out with big schools, because my school is really small…..and everyone knows each other’s name.
What if your friends want to join the PP crowd too, and the crowd really nice? Hey the PP crowd has space. You can enjoy new and old friends!
My friend would never want to go sit with the, what you call, populars. She sat with them once and she didn’t lile it. She said that they only talked about Boys and hooking up people. One of them even shouted out that she liked a weird guy in our class. She told me that she’s never sitting with them again.
When I 1st moved here I didn’t know many people so no one knew me. The 1st people to notice me were the populars. I joined them and I wish I had a good friend to talk me out of it. I came to my senses, I saw the people they hurt, that made me hurt. I left them to be with true friends but sometimes I wish I could be popular again…
Keep your friends from pain and talk them out of it while you have the chance!!
I would help her but talk to her while I help her. I would tell her things like, “I am here and I support you but I will not be friends with them,” I would help her become popular. My friend would miss me and decied that I am a more valuable friend.
Yes, yes, I know, many people stereo type. A lot of people think popular people are mean, and some think they are nice. They are both right. It just depends on the person! If a person that is popular is mean, then they’re not very popular in the regular kids group. Anyway, who even made these groups? They’re preventing popular people to be friends with, well, average kids. It’s just the matter of the people that person knows. If the person knows a lot of people, then yes, more people know them and he/she talks to more people, but that doesn’t make them popular! There can be nice popular people too. My friend, she is VERY quiet and VERY nice, and she is also VERY popular. Popular people can also be people that you can trust to do the right thing, like my friend. But sadly, a lot of people completely ignore the saying, “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover” and base popularity on looks. Remember, looks can be deceiving, but it also doesn’t mean they are. There are millions of ways popularity is grouped, some are good, some are bad. Make friends with people who would stick with you. Popularity is not a contest. Just be yourself and people will accept you for who you are. They’ll know that you’re a good person on the inside and that will just make you popular. Popularity is something, but it’s not everything. Popularity can be hard too. People are just waiting for you to make just one wrong move and then they’ll pounce on you for it. A lot of pressure is on you. I like who I am and so should you. Everyone should because everyone is special in his or her own way. Sorry this was so long! Rock on!!!
I tottllay doubt that my BFF would want to join the Populars… but if she did I would tell her that goodbye. I know that she would realize she made the wrong choice!
sometimes we want stuff we really do not need like bieng popular you should talk to her defiantly I mean shes your bff you dont want jer turing into a”I only sit with popular people shes to poor to come to my party”mean girlif shes really your frend she will listen to you
I’m totally with say good bye! If my Bff ever joined the populars, she would be so different when I tried to talk to her from hanging out with them that I could never get through to her on what she was doing! After a day I probably wouldn’t be cool enough for her anyway so I would definitely say GOODBYE and quick.
I would say, ‘Your in!’ Because I am Miss Popular! And, if anyone wants advice on how to be Miss P, or at least be in the group, make a commet and address it to, ‘Diva Girlie.’ Thanks!
my bff alwayz complained how the 2 of us werent popular i just rolled my eyez….some popularz r the nice kind but the ones at my school arent nice and we would have no chnace. but wat really matters. am i not enough 4 her? i ask her and she sayz being popular iz how u get all the boyz….theyll come to her!! she doesnt get it…monique

popular people dont always have to be THAT mean! I mean,im kinda popular and I am so not mean! attitude is one thing but mean? never!
I'm Coming! Wait 4 me!
Heck, if my friend had a shot at being popular, I’d drag the rest of the gang behind her. I’m not missing out on any fun! -Nobodie
Popular or not that is a question!
Me and my BFF’s are so close! I would help her in any way as long as she didn’t change who she was!
