Ten Easy Lessons to Be Popular

1. Develop self-esteem
Confidence is the cornerstone of popularity. Popular people tend to believe that they are outstanding in some ways. Self-esteem is necessary for a leader.

2. Be friendly to everyone
It’s really important to be friendly to others. Be friendly is the fastest and easiest way to make people like you. The process of becoming popular is sort of like running for the President – you cannot get popularity without population!

3. Sense of humor
Everyone loves to laugh. Popular people know how to make jokes to make people laugh. However, it is important to know that humor is an expression of wisdom, not clownery.

4. Teamwork
Do not be lofty or self-centered when you are working with others because teamwork is about help and support. These are very important in your process of becoming popular.

5. Seek opportunities to socialize
Those partygoers tend to be popular at school. Why? Because they are always seeking for opportunities to know people and being known by people. It’s essential to socialize with others when ever you can –hallways, parties, camps, etc.

6. Study hard
Just imagine your name is on the Top 10 List, Best Student of the Year, Principal Honor List, etc. Or there is a picture of you shaking hands with the Principal in the school’s website and you got a national student award for the achievement in science. It’s hard to not be recognized in this situation.

7. Be an activist
Be active in school’s activities. Join a sport team or the student government. You will get the chance to know more people. If you are luckily good at those activities, people will get to know you, too.

8. Looking good
This does not mean you need to look cute. Don’t wear those shabby clothes or geek outfit. You should be responsible for your appearance as a popular kid. However, your behaviors and characteristics are more important than your appearance – you will shine if you have a golden heart!

9. Step out of the crowd
The word “popular” has the word “pop” in it. That means you need to pop out from the crowd to be recognized by others. How could you do it? Try to find the uniqueness or talent of yourself and try to improve it. Remember it is never to late to learn a new skill to make yourself a better person.

10. Stand beside the crown
This may be a little bit wicked but it really works. If you are hanging out with a bunch of stunning girls in school and dating the cutest guy on earth, I guarantee you would be in the middle of the spotlight.
