Today I would like to talk about how to become the most popular teen in school. Firstly, I think getting good academic results is the first factor to make you become popular since, having a good academic result, your teacher will award you in front of your schoolmates.

Then, your schoolmates will know who you are and maybe they would like to get to know you because they want to learn something good from you.
