Summarize this article:

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.  Smile and say “Hi” to everyone you meet. Eat lunch with someone new. As you strive to become popular, don’t tear others down in the process.Remember, a kind, compassionate person wins over more friends than a nasty, unconfident person. Never judge people, but always jump to their defense. Don’t bully others, but befriend them. Be kind to people outside your group. Being a clique that despises outsiders will not earn you many friends beyond the group. Instead, work to earn the respect and friendship of outsiders. Helping others accomplish their goals and reveling in their success, is an excellent way to develop a positive reputation. Set aside your desire for attention or your need to be the best. Instead, encourage and assist those around you as they strive to succeed. Your compassion will surprise and delight others.  Offer to help someone with their homework or a project. Stay after practice to workout with a teammate. Congratulate others on their accomplishments. Bullies, haters, negative and unkind people will always be present in your life whether you are popular or an outcast. You may know these individuals or they may be complete strangers to you. In order to lead a healthy life and live as the most authentic you—even if you never become popular—it is important that you address and cope with people that dislike you.  Remove toxic people from your environment. Stop spending time with that negative friend that always belittles you. Stand up for yourself. Let this person know that you do not appreciate and will no longer tolerate their negative treatment of you. Don’t take it personally. Bullying is not a reflection on you, but a self-reflection on the bully. You are not the problem; they are the problem.

Summary:
Expand your social circle. Avoid judging and bullying others. Support and help others. Address and cope with people that dislike you.
