Why cant i be more popular?

just like the two above said: there's nothing wrong with you. you will realize that when you get a little older and develop some wisdom. young people all want to be alike, and then struggle when they are different. i know it feels like a big problem now, but time will pass, you will finish school, then you will go forward with your life. maybe to college or on to a job, and you will be free to find friends more to your liking. right now, while in school, classmates are pretty much the best choice for friends, but once you graduate, the whole world will open up for you. stay cool, young lady, you will be ok! best wishes for your future.

i have the same problem

screw them, you sound like a cool chick so cut your own path, they will follow, who cares what `popular` people think of you anyway they are all just sheep, baaah!

popular people dont have real friends. Im in the same sitiation as you. Im outgoing an fun but people think im weird because i love musicals ad my life revolves around swmming. People make fun of me because i want to be an actress

Focus on making real friends, not being popular. Popularity is shallow and fickle. Friendships matter and last.

Like PoisonFlowers said: There's nothing wrong with you. If you love metal, maby you could mix with the other metal lovers or hockey players. Im sure there are hockey teams you can join and metal clubs you can go to. Well, depending on age, the metal "clubs" might not be a good idea. But you could learn an instrument and get in a band or something.

There's nothing wrong with you. Sometimes, it can be hard finding people who will accept you for who you are and love you for it. I guess it's safe to say that the people you hang out with aren't even close to being proper friends. But don't worry - you won't have to hang out with them forever.

Go wings

be unique. make friends that have the same intrest as you. I love metal music but i dont watch hokey but that dosent mean i hate it.

Honestly most people aren't inviting you because they stcik to their own 'gangs' of friends. Try joining a debating group or somehting -- then you would find lots of new people to hang out with -- or maybe a hockey group because you said you liked hockey.

You should be more outgoing.
Maybe you are way too quiet lol!

usually to be popular you have to look at least a little pretty (just not very ugly), also you have to be outgoing and like to talk to people and also you have to kinda "do your own thing" and "have your own opinion" and not always follow others. I guess it makes you interesting

: ( i feel like that too sometimes. : ( but i have a few best friends. remember to keep at least one friend close to ur heart.

When we are young, we all like the same things and we all get along. You can invite every kid from your Kindergarten class to your party and everyone is happy.

As we get older, we differentiate. We grow more as individuals and become less like those around us as we learn more about the world around us and our horizons broaden.

The faster you grow as a person, the less you can expect relationships to be stable. Even in marriage, unless you settle into a rut, personal growth can create problems and it takes a generous amount of vigilance and management of that growth by both parties to keep from growing apart.

So what you are dealing with is normal. But there is good news...and it's not about my car insurance.... In college as you enter into more specialized studies which are unique to your interests, you will find more people that are more similar to you than you will find in a high school where people are grouped together geographically and/or alphabetically rather than by interest. If you are very unique to your area, you will want to seek a college in a part of the country that is more likely to have people like you. For example, I live in the mid-west - corn, bible, and monster truck country - but I'm a computer geek/atheist/anthropologist. So going to college in a big city on one of the coasts made a lot of sense. Likewise, if you are in the big city and you like agriculture, you will find more people like you by going to a university in Iowa.
Hope this helps. I know how you feel.

Try to get involved with other people who have the same interests as you - open up, and who knows who you might meet?
