So, I used to think being mean or "evil" 
was cool and would make me popular. And it did. I was the most hated but at the same time most loved person at school. Most of my friends, despite being sweet themselves and not like me at all, adored it. 
But now I want to change. I don't really want to be hated anymore by half the school. I want to tell my friends, especially my BFF, but it's so hard. What if they don't like me anymore? What if my crush, Hiroshi Kaga, doesn't like me anymore? I don't know what to do! Advice, anyone? I'm thinking of running away, but then I'll have to be mean forever...

Sounds like you were a victim of peer pressure. You felt the need to fit in. And so you became a mean girl and tried to be cool. The problem with that is that no one likes a bully and everyone will remember you as a bad person in years to come. The best thing to do is to be yourself. Don't try and be like others and forget about fitting in. You are your own person.

I think you choose the incorrect path of behaving as an 'evil' person to get popularity. May be you did not consult any sane person, before choosing that path. I feel it is not easy to change your image quickly. It will take some time (may be months) before someone could say that you are no more an evil person. However, it is said - [/b][/i]"it is never too late to mend"[b][i]. So you could mend your ways and if you turn nice to everyone, they will gradually start accepting you as a good person. All the best.

Real friends won't expect you to keep acting like something you're not. You have to stop caring what everybody else thinks if you really want to change.

That was my initial thought, but my maybe ex-friends will believe me and everyone else in the school won't. :) Thank you for the advice, however.

as another said....just be you..friends will adjust/follow along....and is your "crush" only liked you when you were acting/portraying yourself a certain way, then maybe he shouldn't have been a crush to begin with. you need to be YOU...and people will love you for that.....

People tend to put people in grooves even at their first encounter. You have a difficult job on hand to change that.

@simply_hana -san Running away solves nothing - you run away only from the people but take with you the pain of unresolved issues. If you are making changes to better your life, then no one can say anything. You will then see who your friends really are - and hey, maybe you will influence some of them will make changes for the better too! You show Kaga-san your true colors and surely he will show you his - you will know in time if it was meant to be. But most of all, you have to be true to yourself - it's YOUR life, deshou?
