While popular people are not always liked by everyone, they are known by everyone. In order to increase your popularity, you need to broaden your social circle. Go out of your way to meet and hang out with new people and join new clubs at school. Smile and say “Hi” to everyone you meet.

Usually, the two main determinants of “reputation-based” popularity in high school, according to Prinstein, are aggressiveness (“unfortunately, in order to make [themselves] seem high on the totem pole, a lot of kids and adults sometimes try and belittle others”) and physical attractiveness.
Don’t react negatively. If people are mean to you because they view you as unpopular, just ignore them. Giving them a big negative reaction will only add fuel to their fire. Instead, simply walk away if someone says something mean-spirited to you.
