That’s the challenge. While campaigning we gotta make people see the importance of the election and that the popular people took advantage of the voters to win election easily. Show the voters that the popular team think they’re easy to influenced.
I wasn't the most popular and I won by a landslide against the girl who was homecoming queen Freshman, sophomore, and junior year. I ran a great campaign, never overestimating my opponent. And I won.
@@mitchikoparrish4646 im running for senior class president and im running against a popular girl on one hand i know that no one barely likes her but on the other she’s popular but i know I actually have concerns that i want to fix and change
Hey, I'm also running for Grade 10 President, against the most popular guy in our school. I don't know if I can won against him but I'll do my best! Padayon!!!
I am soo grateful you posted this. Im in my last year of middle school and super scared. I was nominated to be president and ive never really thought about this but this made me want to do this and gave me so much motivation! As one of the "smart" kids i really want to make a difference in my school and this gave me so much confidence! Thanks!
as a person who signed up for secretary or vice president on a whim, campaigning starts tomorrow(AND I DONT HAVE THINGS DONE..), this was really helpful! i just joined this primary - junior high, school just 2 weeks ago, and i am really anti social. but, i did make friends. over break, i’ll try to interact with friends who are also running for positions for the body. elections start next week tuesday, sep 5 , and i’ll update if i get in or not. i am so grateful to have seen this! this helps so much! LATE UPDATE: our speeches and voting did get held back a day since there were some technical difficulties with students parents not knowing that there was campaigning. but, we did eventually did it!

@@thermodynamiclawyer I UPDATED MY COMMENT;;; ALSO GL RUNNING! (a tip i learned for the speech section: try to add comments on what you can do for the school, and why you’re good for it. mention you can help make fundraisers / events / dress down days as well! Make sure to add emotion to your speech. trust me wwww)
When I was in 6th grade I ran for student council on a whim, but the girl I ran against won. I felt it coming though, because she was a Miss Popular for one thing; in fact, other students in the classroom made it clear they would've voted for her, and they expressed joy upon learning that she did in fact win. Both me and the girl received a jolly rancher, but then she went on to receive several other prizes, with the teacher repeatedly telling me "Nice try" and congratulating the winner. All that did was rub it in, along with the fact that other students were making it clear they were glad of the results. I never ran for student council again, but for other reasons though. And, believe it or not, a couple years later in 8th grade, that very same girl helped another student sexually harass me in the lunch line. She was telling him to ask me what my...unmentionables, smelled like and tasted like, and he went along with it.
In order to win you must make winning look impossible in the opponents eye and bluff. Which will probably force the rest to accept you and be good terms with you
@@ahmedalnhari8728 This is what I made for my speech (it was really dumb) btw it was a video Hi, I’m _____ and I’m running for freshman representative. I know I’ll make a huge impact to the school. [I enter the school and it shows two people fighting over a bag of chips] Person 1: give me my chips back! Person 2: No! You’re ugly I don’t want to give it back! Me: Hey! Give person 1 their chips back, it isn’t yours. Person 2: oh sorry ___ you’re right. [I continue the speech] Like what you just saw, I know how to handle problems you may have. I’m always here to help. [As I walk it shows an injured person on the ground. I hand them a bandage and continue talking] I am always there for you for whatever you need. [There are two people walking to the bathrooms] Person 3: Lets vandalize the bathroom Person 4: OK! [I tell them to stop, they run away] And I’ll always make sure our school is a safe place to be. So what are you waiting for, vote me, ____ for freshman representative!! Yeah its really silly lol. I also made lots of posters and got my friends to spread the word to vote me
This vid was a great help! Although my school doesn't really offer campaigning to prefects( who are only sophomores), it has an application process, a series of interviews and voting. I became a prefect for my sophomore year only a couple months ago which was pretty cool. Pretty good insight he gave here. My tip: if your school has interviews, just keep calm and collected and have clear motive of what you wanna bring to your school and the people around you. They really love it when you use key terms like 'teamwork" and "inclusivity" and for me, I think my vocabulary played a MAJOR role so keep that in mind! Besides, just be attentive to their questions and reflect a little before you answer. Give examples to support your answers. For instance, I gave an irl example for every question which required it, and PLEASE highlight your impressive achievements in your application/interview cause I just spat out every e.c.a of mine, lol. I hope this helped
I watched this video, took your advice and succeeded to become representative last year!! Now I am rewatching and going for my second trial for core stuco cabinet at junior year. Thank you so much this is amazing fingers crossed !!💪🏻💪🏻
Hey everyone! I'm elementary, and most of you guys are older. Results are out tmrw and I really wanna win secretary. I'll comment the results this really helped! Edit: I won! IM SCHOOL SECRETARY
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. Tomorrow is the start of the campaigning period. 😵💫 I hope I win as the strand representative! The election will be held on September 21 and I'll just share the results. 💙
Awesome video, very helpful! I’m running for Student council officer as a 7th grader and if I win, I will be part of SC in 8th. Spots: 4 Nominees: 8 (including me) Voters: 6th and 7th graders (256 total) My slogan: With Officer Kristel, our school will excel! Something memorable about me: I have a signature headband that only I wear, and my favorite color is known to be pink (which is also my campaign color). I currently have a campaign manager, my friend, who has made posters and helped come up with the slogan. She also will tell her friends that I’m running. I plan to send a google form to my close circle asking what kind of changes they’d like to see, and I’ll mention those ideas in my speech. In my opinion, this is a pretty solid plan. The only thing is, I’m not very popular, but I have many friends. 7th graders will tend to vote for their friends, so a defining factor are 6th graders. I only have 1 6th grade friend so I’m not sure how to appeal to 6th graders. I don’t have any social media to promote myself. Any advice? I’ll update you after the election.
@@NelsonLeeYT Hey, thanks for responding! I made an election video that was a parody of Elle Woods’ video essay from the movie “Legally Blonde.” I did not win, but I’ve been told by many teachers that my video was the best, so I’m happy about that. I think I should’ve told more 6th graders to vote for me by talking to them, so I’ll do that next time.
i really need this! i am running for student body president in my high school and our election is coming up soon! this gave me some reassurance and hopefully I get elected !!
This video helped me so much I have a lot of people campaigning this year but I think I have a chance also my slogan is A Vote for me is a Vote for you. I win - you win. Vote Emma Fierro as class representative. Have a good day!
I have to present my speech on the 8th of November this year. Wish me luck! Edit: i was new to the school and all the popular kids got in but i didn’t. :(( Your tips were very helpful and i still appreciate it :)
My school is starting a student council campaign for the first time ever, so I don't have any experience. I've been in similar situations that required a voting session before but never something this slim of a chance to win. It use to be maybe 2-3 people out of 30. Suddenly it's now 8 people out of almost 200. (1 in 25) The gap is huge and it's quite overwhelming. I'd like to know what interests other students because I've always been the quiet A+ student who hangs out with only one friend. I already know others in my year will be going all out with posters, badges, and bribes. I don't want to do the ones that everyone else is doing since I'd like to be a little bit unique to catch everyone's attention. I really don't know what to go for but I was thinking of making little bags with some sweets, origami bookmarks and a little card explaining why voting for me would be a good option. I still need more ideas because it's till Hallowe'en break and I would really love to do something special weekly! It would be so helpful if you responded with some ideas I could do to win the votes!
Those are all great ideas! I think the best thing you can do is get out there everyday and meet 10 new people! Talk to them about how you want to make the school better and how that’ll make their school experience more awesome! I have faith you can do this! Let me know how it goes 🤩
I'm running for grade 10 president and I'm so nervous. The other party is too strong, they are well known in skill and very experienced, unlike me whose first timer. Whatever happen, I'll accept it. Win or loss. What's important in that I chose to fight. Padayon!!!
Im planning to run as a Public Information Officer and im scared af... Because some of the student running in the same position is in a popular section!! But thanks for uploading this so early and now i can gain confidence to run!
Dang, this really works, I can verify. Tysm. Also in July I was at UofT learning Python with Kevin and Dyllan. :) We went on a tour and wow ☺️ it's a great university that I will apply to in the future.
im have to write my speech and draft today cause the due date is tmr so im writing it rn while watching this and the elections are next wednesday, ill make my poster in the weekend and hang it around on sunday but im scared since i have stage fright and usually have a low voice💀💀
hey! im running for elections in my school but its all online due to the pandemic so i cant have personal interactions and i dont think most of em r even on social media. the only way i can campaign is through a short vedio and digital posters. any advices?
Running online is definitely a very different experience. Try organic messaging through social media or SMS or getting people to spread your message to two other friends. Other than that, your short videos need to be very engaging then!
When i was in 7th grade,i decided to run for student council but i of course lost because of this boy who was very popular and made everyone vote for him which made me very discouraged but im going to try again this year :)
So I'm going into a new school and nobody knows me. I was in Student Council for all of middle school and want to get into it again, but we didn't have electric, so I don't know how this would go. I have a speech impediment, so speeches and talking is very difficult for other people to understand what i am saying. Is there any tips on what I do? One tip got from somebody was to tell them before I have a speech, that I have a speech impediment. Any more tips you might know of?
One time in grade 6 I ran for class mayor and i wasn’t even the most popular I was just nice to everyone and amazed them by making a big poster of a down sized town CC with a police station, a hospital, a fire department, a supermarket, a pound and a small house each with a name of a class mate on it. Then I made a 3 page speech talking about the pond pollution the roads potholes the internet and how to fix it then I won 🙌.
me and my friend Ellie are considered smart kids, I'd say she's the smarter one because she does almost nothing besides school work where I'm always talking to people as I work. we're both freshmen in highschool and she wants me to run for vice president when she runs for president but I know almost nothing about this so I'm looking into it!
I looked through your website and I thought your platform was very interesting and ambitious, I was wondering how you actually pulled it off? like what steps did you take? specifically for the one where you helped students find careers they want and the steps they can take to succeed
I'm going to run and I found an awesome plan: so there are about 10 people per grade If I get the kids two grades up then I could get 10-14/15 votes then. I need 6 more votes the older kids influence the younger ones then BOOM. 6-7 more votes easy landslide
Against a very popular kid but I’m confident in being myself and open to RUclips to help expand what I should do. I’m running for ecosystem representative (eco rep) I personally want to help grow and teach kids in my school how to care for plants, I also would like my school look even better with addition of plants and be able to manage plants and have a safe and amazing looking environment. School elections on 21st I’ll give updates
Our teacher just told us that me and my bff were picked out as president nominees, this is the very 1st student council election at our school and its making me very nervous since if i win the election i will be the 1st student council president ever at our school. The proclamation would be on February 16.
I want to run for president but those ms popular girls are going to vote for each other and they are my competitors so i am going to fight a loosing battle but i know that they will not be elected if i have a good speech because people will be satisfied with my speech which they will be more interested in me
Reason for me running. Organization & reliability. My school does things very last minute due to certain parts of decision making and I want to also have other kids not in The ASB have a say because what if like me they could get the chance or people outside ASB have a different opinion and want. So giving the other kids the option to have a say I'm what we plan and also I try to find a way to make the decision faster that way last minute things don't happen. Cause personally I have a mother who hates last minute things so having control that it won't be helps people with parents similar to mine (We are a small school so the have kids having a say is easy while semi difficult) meanwhile my competitor takes the happy go lucky child side of things
Hi, just subscribed! I'm a grade-schooler trying to run for Student Council President, and because of the Pandemic, things got held back and no one got enough time to prepare for the campaigns (we were notified a day ago to start campaigning and the elections are in 1-2 weeks). There are only two people running, and my opponent is more popular than me. Do you have any advice on how to get my ideas and name around quickly? And thank you so much for this video, it was really helpful!
I'm really nervous for this year's student council, no reason I'm just nervous but my partylist does have the smart students so ig I'm fine, I also have popularity but I still hope I'm voted
Hey Nelson! your video has ben super useful. For me atleast. next month are my elections and I wanna be a vice sport captain for 9th grade and your video has been ultra helpful I hope I become one, if I do I will subscribe to your channel and will let you know... But does the 1st point apply to sport captains tho?👀 because I am honestly running for the responsibilty and the duty btw, I trust in myself and you but I have a girl that hates me with passion and might tell everyone to not vote for me. what should I do? Wish me luck!
I'm applying to bloor ci (tops programme too!! *marc garneau's essential sister school if you wanna put it that way*) and im running this year. let's see how this goes :))
My platform is about cyber bullying its common yet ppl still do such things. Especially those students who made dump accounts in order to cyber bully someone. Is it even nc even though. Its common?😊
I am one of the three to get elected and I don’t even want to anymore, I’m scared to present it, the popular people are in my class. I can’t I wanna quit so bad but u can’t😢
this video helped me a lot!! how about if I don't havr any experiences yet? I have been to multiple clubs since grade 7 but only as a member. Is there any way I can convince them to vote for me? I am running for the position of batch representative, by the way. Thank you.
student council elections are popularity contests
that makes running against someone popular who doesn't even care about what there doing even worse. I'm really contemplating running.

hey! im running for elections in my school but its all online due to the pandemic so i cant have personal interactions and i dont think most of em r even on social media. the only way i can campaign is through a short vedio and digital posters. any advices?
Running online is definitely a very different experience. Try organic messaging through social media or SMS or getting people to spread your message to two other friends. Other than that, your short videos need to be very engaging then!
Im running for Decipline vice captain and I'm confident! (not over confident tho)
You got this 🥳🥳

THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD I WILL UPDATE IF I WIN IT

When i was in 7th grade,i decided to run for student council but i of course lost because of this boy who was very popular and made everyone vote for him which made me very discouraged but im going to try again this year :)
This year, September of 2023, I’m running for student council office. Wish me luck!
Thanks man, became Vice Pres senior year!
So I'm going into a new school and nobody knows me. I was in Student Council for all of middle school and want to get into it again, but we didn't have electric, so I don't know how this would go. I have a speech impediment, so speeches and talking is very difficult for other people to understand what i am saying. Is there any tips on what I do?
One tip got from somebody was to tell them before I have a speech, that I have a speech impediment. Any more tips you might know of?
These are pretty solid advices. Thank you for thus
One time in grade 6 I ran for class mayor and i wasn’t even the most popular I was just nice to everyone and amazed them by making a big poster of a down sized town CC with a police station, a hospital, a fire department, a supermarket, a pound and a small house each with a name of a class mate on it. Then I made a 3 page speech talking about the pond pollution the roads potholes the internet and how to fix it then I won 🙌.
Nice!!! What a great and inspirational story ⭐️🤩
me and my friend Ellie are considered smart kids, I'd say she's the smarter one because she does almost nothing besides school work where I'm always talking to people as I work. we're both freshmen in highschool and she wants me to run for vice president when she runs for president but I know almost nothing about this so I'm looking into it!
You got this! That sounds fun :D
I'll be running for school president, will post an update if i win
I looked through your website and I thought your platform was very interesting and ambitious, I was wondering how you actually pulled it off? like what steps did you take? specifically for the one where you helped students find careers they want and the steps they can take to succeed
Hey, we were able to do many of the things we set out to do, but COVID put an early brake to the rest of our plans.
@@NelsonLeeYT but how were you planning on accomplishing those goals? Regardless if you ended up doing it
@@NelsonLeeYT What exactly are the duties of general secretary?(My school didn't explain it properly)
I'm going to run and I found an awesome plan: so there are about 10 people per grade If I get the kids two grades up then I could get 10-14/15 votes then. I need 6 more votes the older kids influence the younger ones then BOOM. 6-7 more votes
easy landslide
im running for vice president in mills park elementary and I need some more tips about my speech. this video really helped tho!
That’s amazing! What do you need help with?
@@NelsonLeeYT I got the tips from my sister. I got elected to!
Against a very popular kid but I’m confident in being myself and open to RUclips to help expand what I should do. I’m running for ecosystem representative (eco rep) I personally want to help grow and teach kids in my school how to care for plants, I also would like my school look even better with addition of plants and be able to manage plants and have a safe and amazing looking environment. School elections on 21st I’ll give updates
i won my homeroom election and now i have to win a school wide election
Our teacher just told us that me and my bff were picked out as president nominees, this is the very 1st student council election at our school and its making me very nervous since if i win the election i will be the 1st student council president ever at our school. The proclamation would be on February 16.
Hi, this is so helpful. When you talk about a platform, would google doc be enough or do you have any suggestions?
How to answer for questions "why do u consider yourself as a suitable member"
Tell people about your motivations for running and how much effort you’ll put in!
I want to run for president but those ms popular girls are going to vote for each other and they are my competitors so i am going to fight a loosing battle but i know that they will not be elected if i have a good speech because people will be satisfied with my speech which they will be more interested in me
Always try your best and you might surprise yourself!
yooooo I'm running for communication coordinator, thanks for the tips!
Reason for me running.
Organization & reliability.
My school does things very last minute due to certain parts of decision making and I want to also have other kids not in The ASB have a say because what if like me they could get the chance or people outside ASB have a different opinion and want.
So giving the other kids the option to have a say I'm what we plan and also I try to find a way to make the decision faster that way last minute things don't happen.
Cause personally I have a mother who hates last minute things so having control that it won't be helps people with parents similar to mine
(We are a small school so the have kids having a say is easy while semi difficult) meanwhile my competitor takes the happy go lucky child side of things
My son loves ❤️ this
I'm not scared any more
Yay!
Thanks my son needs this
Glad it helped!
My election is coming in a couple of days and I am not very popular. How do I beat the popular kids?
tysm for the tips i want to run for student council in 4th grade this year
Hoping this helps me!!!, the voting is in a week and im super scared but also super stoked about it!!!
are you an Indian
Good Luck!
Hi, just subscribed! I'm a grade-schooler trying to run for Student Council President, and because of the Pandemic, things got held back and no one got enough time to prepare for the campaigns (we were notified a day ago to start campaigning and the elections are in 1-2 weeks). There are only two people running, and my opponent is more popular than me. Do you have any advice on how to get my ideas and name around quickly? And thank you so much for this video, it was really helpful!
Text as many people as possible! Best way to get the word out.
@@NelsonLeeYT I ended up winning the election! Thank you for the advice!
THAT'S AMAZING! CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉
@@NelsonLeeYT what if you don’t know anyone at the school yet
@@ayotravis2571 that's okay! Explain to them why you're texting them (I want to make your school experience better) and go from there!
I need this so much
Yay!
Thanks for the advise.
I'm really nervous for this year's student council, no reason I'm just nervous but my partylist does have the smart students so ig I'm fine, I also have popularity but I still hope I'm voted
Good Luck!
Hello, I'm in last year of elementary school and want some advice of do you get ready for the election starting early?
Thank you

So like I haven't really joined any clubs, so what should I talk about in my campaigne video as to why they should vote for me?
i’d like to know too
Talk about your vision for the future of your school! Experience is nice to have but it's not necessary
Hey Nelson!
your video has ben super useful. For me atleast.
next month are my elections and I wanna be a vice sport captain for 9th grade
and your video has been ultra helpful
I hope I become one, if I do I will subscribe to your channel and will let you know...
But does the 1st point apply to sport captains tho?👀 because I am honestly running for the responsibilty and the duty
btw, I trust in myself and you but I have a girl that hates me with passion and might tell everyone to not vote for me.
what should I do?
Wish me luck!
Outshine her with kindness 🤩
@@NelsonLeeYT Thanks
am humbled for the video Mr. Lee. my problem lies on making a speech on the general university debate day. How do you help me?
I want to have some amazing ideas but having some trouble thinking of some
if someone could help that would be great
I ran for student council president for class of 2025 and I lost☹️

You can do it!
I'm applying to bloor ci (tops programme too!! *marc garneau's essential sister school if you wanna put it that way*) and im running this year. let's see how this goes :))
My platform is about cyber bullying its common yet ppl still do such things. Especially those students who made dump accounts in order to cyber bully someone. Is it even nc even though. Its common?😊
Thank you so much
Glad to help!
I'm still in 4th grade about to be in 5th and I'm moving and my new school has school council so I'm trynna figure out how to be good
You're doing great. I believe in you!
I am one of the three to get elected and I don’t even want to anymore, I’m scared to present it, the popular people are in my class. I can’t I wanna quit so bad but u can’t😢
What is that music?
this video helped me a lot!! how about if I don't havr any experiences yet? I have been to multiple clubs since grade 7 but only as a member. Is there any way I can convince them to vote for me? I am running for the position of batch representative, by the way. Thank you.
Then talk about your club experience and how you'll make school better for everyone!
I’m currently trying to write my speech, and it’s due later today so I’m worried 😦
You got this!
How many people usually run
It depends on the school and position ✨
At my school, 3 people are going for Pres including me.
