Get Confident1:
You can't be Queen of the World if you live underground. Do you hold your head high when you walk through the halls? Do you make eye contact2, smile and say hi to people you don't even know? Put on an air of friendliness and confidence. Kind is the new cool.
Get Out There:
Since popularity is all about who you know, why not make a point to3 get to know everybody? Join the school paper, try out for the swim team, run for class president. You don't have to be the best at everything you do — the point is to get to know as many different kids. The more friends you make, the more people for you to succeed.
Get Busy:
Think nothing's going on in your school and weekends are worth sleeping? Stop complaining4 and start doing something. Be the girl who always knows what's going on.
Show Off:
No matter how great, talented5 or nice you are, nobody's going to know that until you take the risk and step into the spotlight6 of public opinion. Use every opportunity to show your hidden talents, whether it's a song at the school talent show or your oh-so-clever invention7 at the science fair. Showing off your skills is not the same as being a show-off. You know the difference, so go on with your self.
Show Your Style:
Stop following fashion8 and start making them. There's no law that says your hair/ clothes/ shoes have to be exactly the same as everyone else's. Why not throw a little individuality9 into your appearance?
Be You:
Stand up for what you believe. Speaking up in class, organizing an animal rights protest10, defending an old friend when others start bad-mouthing11 her...Lying about the type of person you are is sure to blow your status12. Forget trying to make yourself into some unrealistic icon13. Stick to14 your own interests15, personality. They're what makes you a popular individual. Accept and love yourself and others will, too.
Treasure Old Friends:
No matter how socially successful you become or how many famous new friends you make, it's the old friends who have been there all along that matter most. Don't show off your best friend just because you got invited to an awesome16 party and she didn't. Popularity17 doesn't equal selfish social climbing. Be true to your friends and they'll do the same for you. It's that simple.
自信：如果你太低调，就不可能成为世界女王。走过大厅时，你是否昂首挺胸？遇到那些根本不认识的人，你是否直视他们的眼睛、对他们微笑、跟他们打招呼？做出友好、自信的样子。善良是时下新宠。
主动出击： 既然受欢迎的程度取决于你认识的人，那为什么不拿定主意去结识周围的每一个人呢？去参与校刊的编辑吧，去参加学校的游泳队吧，去竞选班长吧。你不必事事都做到最好——关键在于要尽可能多地结识各种各样的朋友。认识的朋友越多，助你成功的人也就越多。
别闲着：以为学校里什么事也没有，周末就该睡大觉吗？别再怨天尤人，赶快行动吧！作为一个女孩，要对身边发生的一切了如指掌。
展示自我：无论你多么了不起、多么有才华、多么好，如果你不敢冒险，怎么可能成为公众舆论的焦点？谁又会了解你呢？所以，你要利用每一次机会展示自己不为人知的才华：无论是在学校的才艺秀上高歌一曲，还是在科学博览会上演示你聪明绝顶的发明。展示你的才艺并非出风头。这之间的差别你是知道的。所以，保持你的天性吧！
展现自我风采：别跟在时尚后面爬，你应该自己创造时尚。没有法律规定说你的发型、服装、鞋子非要跟大家的一模一样。为什么不在你自己的打扮上展现一点个性？
保持自我：勇敢地捍卫自己的观点。在班上大胆地发言，比如组织保护动物权利的抗议活动，或者当别人讲一个朋友的坏话时，（勇敢地）站出来为她辩护……用谎言自我吹嘘， 必定会搬起石头砸你自己的脚。不要徒劳地制造不真实的自我偶像，坚持你自己的兴趣、个性。这些东西才会使你成为一个受大家欢迎的人。接受你自己，爱你自己，别人也一定会接受你、爱你的。
珍惜老朋友：无论你在社会上多么成功，或者交了多少显赫的新朋友，结交多年的老朋友才是最重要的。不要因为你被邀请去参加了一个不得了的聚会，而你最要好的朋友没有接到邀请，就在她面前炫耀。出人头地并不意味着要用自私的手段向上爬。如果你真心对待朋友们，就能换来他们的真心。就这么简单。
