Good grief, I was under the impression the thread wasn't serious
If people don't think you're deserving of attention, and you think you are, then follow these steps:
1:
Overview your life and values and see if maybe you could become a better person. If you are doing okay, move on to step 2. If not, try swapping things around a bit and trying out a new lifestyle.
2:
Overview the people whose attention you are trying to gets' life and values. See if maybe they are not worth your attention anyways. Are there more important reasons than their attnetion behind getting them to respect you? Better grades perhaps? If it'd really help you, move to step 3. If they're not worth it, move to step 4.
3:
Without drastically changing the way you live, alter your public representation of your personality to suit the times. Don't try to change overnight. Do one thing different at a time.
4:
Find other people in your situation and see if you can help them come to terms with it similarly.
