to develop a set of really good friends that you can always count on and trust.

I dont think there is anyway to become more popular among other students. Its just one of those weird things that either happens or doesnt.

You will come to realize one day that it doesnt matter. What

really matters are the real friends that you still have in your life.

I hope I helped.

I know school and kids are allot different these days than when I was in school many many moons ago, but the basics still apply. Impressing yourself (and your parents) first will be so much more important than anything else. Once you have that down, the rest will follow.
