How Do I Become Popular?

Okay here`s the story!!! I`m in the 8th grade and I`m defenitley not popular!!! i Have friends who are popular but when they go out on the weekends they never invite me!!! At school i hang out with a lot of girls and not many guys!!! i hang out with girls because i hope that there`s a chance that they`ll like me but they only think of me as a friend!!! i Don`t hang out with guys cuz there always punching and hitting eachother and i`m not a wimp or anything but i would like to have friends that don`t give me bruises all the time!! I have a high voice and i get name called all the time but i just want everybody to like me and i want to be able to have a group of friends that wanna hang out with me on the weekends!!! I JUST WANNA BE POPULAR!!!
