Hello, my name is Ali and I'm 17 years old and I'm basically an "outcast" in our school. To have friends you need 1. Good grades. 2. Good attitude. and 3. To be hot... I'm having a bit of an issue with #3. But, of course I have friends just I'd like to get along with some of the "in" crowd(it would be pretty nice to have popular and geeky friends, to be in the middle) but I don't really know how to be more pretty. I'd love for you guys to give suggestions on what I should do. My picture is on my profile and leave a comment on my profile, Pm me, or reply on this post. Thanks!

First of all.. You are cute. So people at your school, if they don't think you are cute are just being stuck up asses.

Secondly, Why do you want to be friends with people who only care about what you look like? I don't want to be friends with someone who is shallow and self centered. If you have friends who care about you, and about what you do with your life rather than how much lipstick is too much lipstick. gonk

The real funny part is, I was in your same situation before. All of the "popular" kids at my high school... are still the popular kids today. They all live in the same county, have the same dead end jobs they had right after high school (I graduated in 2003) and they all have the same friends.

Dont be friends with someone just because they hang with a certain crowd. And who cares if you are an "outcast" in high school. Do you have fun with the people you are friends with? If so, Awesome! Count your blessings. Are you planning on going to college? If not, I think everyone should, If so... Awesome! People in college usually understand that the world does not revolve around someone because they are popular or beautiful... they understand that it is the people who are productive members of society that make the world go around.

If you start talking to older people and ask them about their friends, you are going to find that high school doesn't really hold much significance on their current or past social life (after high school). More of the fond memories come from college and after.

Bottomline. Don't try to be someone that you are not, it does not matter how popular or hot you are, the only thing that matters is what you do with your life, and how you treat the people who care for you.

I agree. You should treasure the good friends you have and not worry so much about how popular they are. Do you think they wish you were different? More popular? People care about you and you "have" friends. Some people don't even have that.
I found that all my so called "popular" friends were just my friends when it was convenient for them. My geeky, fun friends have continued to be apart of my life even now! The stand the test of time.

Don't be harsh on your looks, your adorable! But your true friends know how adorable you are on the inside.

remember beauty is only skin deep

“No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.”

You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her”

“For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.”
