High school was not great for me . I was raised to never stand up for my self so it was rough. I was picked on alot. I didn't fit in. I had some friends but they turned out not to really be my friends but just using me. My mom kicked me out just after I turned 17 so I had to quit school and live in my car and work full time but next year I went back to school took night school and regular school and made up all of my credits. No dances, no real fun but I wouldn't change anything because it has made me a better person today.

Most people don't, but I had to wear a uniform up through 8th grade, and follow a fairly strict dress code up through high school.  I don't now in college, and I'm glad for that, but I think it was really useful when I was younger.  My schools were comparatively small, and the cliques weren't fun.  It was good not to have to worry what other people would think about the clothes I wore.  Though I don't know if I would have said so at the time, I think it might also have kept us just a little more focused on the academics.

LOL! No you are not. When I was in high school about 16 years ago I remember looking at people and thinking HE/SHE IS CONSIDERED COOL??? HE/SHE IS POPULAR AND BEHAVES LIKE THAT??\n\nI remember a guy that was considered cool and the girls just draped all over him and he would go around picking on other people just to make the girls laugh\n\nPeople that were supposed to be cool were the bullies and people that did stupid things like shoplift\n\nPeople that were supposed to be cool were the people that were arrogant \n\nPeople that were supposed to be cool were the disruptive ones in class and the ones that were bound to get bad grades or get suspended. \nNope you aren't a lone. I never understood it. To this day I never will.

No.  I had no dates in high school.  I thought no one would ever love me.  I didn't go to the high school prom and I thought my life would probably end before the next snow came.\n\nSince then I have been married three times (widowed twice) to men who really loved me, and had two wonderful sons, who also love me, and three also wonderful grandsons (ditto).  I am now nearing the end of my life and I have been very happy for three times longer than I was unhappy.

It's true for me, technically. I don't use most of what I learned in high school in my job. But I do think it's a good idea to learn as much as you can in high school. It makes you a more well-rounded and interesting person later if you know something about history, literature, language, numbers, etc.

It's all about confidence.  The most important thing is to just be yourself.  Some people will like you for who you are then eventually popularity (in one form or another) will follow.  \nThere's no point in trying to fit into a group with which you have different view points.\nTry to join a group of people that share similar interests.  If you like sports, join a team.  If you like drama, try out for a play or join a club.  \nThe thing about the most popular crowd in high school is that it usually consists of the best athletes, the most attractive people and the most outgoing people.  Having money in your family helps.  These people all have confidence (or are faking it, but you can't tell).  Finding your own confidence is the most important step to becoming popular.

I just graduated high school last year and am now in college. I did cheerleading every year in high school and it greatly affected my high school experience. I made new friends, it kept me busy, and was great to put on resumes. It was extremely hard working and very demanding on my time and energy, but it was so fun and completely worth it. Now when I look back on my high school years, I remember so many memories from cheerleading, not memories of sitting on the couch eating potato chips after school. It gave me a purpose and I strived to do my best and to improve. During my senior year, I had a falling out with my group of friends and I had no one to turn to, but I had cheerleading and just got closer to my cheerleading friends. I don't know what I would have done without them.

I would not know. I was in the in crowd among the jocks and cheerleaders and the nerds and the "bad kids". I was several teachers' pet. and I was the principle and the deans' pet as well. I was not a perfect "goody-two-shoes" I just get along well with everyone for the most part.

Short answer: Yes.\nWhoever said that high school is supposed to be the best years of your life must have been high for most of it.\nDon't let it get you down (I assume you're still in school?)  Trust me, it gets better.  WAY better.

I know to be a popular person at school is so fun, but not a big problem if not.\nmore popular, get more extra-activities, for guy, join some sport activities. study hard and get high grade. gatting around with others and more talking (conversation), have some humours or funny stories, it will help you more popular.

There is nothing different about them that is different from you. One thing I realized in college was that I was just as popular as everyone else. I think in middle/high school you spend to much time looking at others rather than paying attention to yourself. Everyone is popular in their own way.

When I was in high school, I had wanted to be a cheerleader because they were popular.  I was a "bookworm" and thought it would be cool to be on the cool squad.  Fortunately for me, my book smarts actually made me popular by itself.  I didn't have to conform to what society thought was cool, which was awesome!\n\nSo when you're popular, at least in high school, yes, others wish they could be you.  Many envy you at that level because no one wants to be the nerdy kid or the geek.  When you are nice, people simply LIKE you.  Even if you aren't as popular as the cheerleader, the football jock or the hotsy-totsy girl, the "nice" ones are always remembered and definitely always liked.
