As far as the meaning of popular is concerned,everyone thinks it depends very much on how many friends you have.Personally,I don't agree with the latter opinion to some extent.I think it reasonable to get along well with others.What interested everyone most is how to become popular.
Here are some suggestions.Firstly,you should become outgoing and lovely.Secondly, you shold give your hand to people who face difficulties and be in trouble.Thirdly,you shold be honest with everyone ,you shold understand the meaning of share.
Last of all,in spite of what happends you must be enthusiastic about everything and never be negative
