How to Be Cool & Popular

While getting your education is most important, there are ways to make yourself stand out in the crowd more than others, and ways to get people to like you more. While kids can be harsh and be rude to you, there are certain techniques that you can make yourself more cool and popular. Here are a few tips on how to be cool and popular.

Instructions

1. Wear stylish clothing. You want to keep up with the latest trends in fashion to make sure that what you are wearing to school is not something totally different from others. You do not have to spend a lot of money on your clothes. Shop sales at different department stores or even shop thrift stores and creative with your clothing.

2. Hang out with the popular crowd. Make a friend or two with the popular group to get in with the crowd. Find out about things that they enjoy and see if you can make a connection with something that you both enjoy. If you have similar interests, chances are that you will easily be able to sneak in with the popular crowd.

3. Act friendly and outgoing around others. It can be really difficult to make new friends and get in with the popular crowd if you are not willing to communicate and open up to them. If you are really shy, this could be challenging, but you can overcome this by approaching them and starting a conversation. Do not act negative around them--you do not want to have a bad attitude around the popular crowd.

4. Educate yourself. Once you get to know the popular crowd, you will be impressed when you realize how smart they really are. While you may spend a lot of time and effort trying to fit in with the crowd, you still want to focus in class and keep up with your homework. It gives you a great conversation starter to talk with your new popular friends.

5. Be respectful to others and have fun with your friends. While some popular schoolmates may seem snobbish, when you get to know them they are usually quite nice. Keep a positive attitude with others and do not start gossip. You can still have a lot of fun with your friends while still being respectful to others you may know as well.

6. Attend school activities. You will find a lot of the popular crowd at dances and school sporting events, and it is a great way to mingle with them. Attending school activities is also a great way to keep up with what is going on at school, as well as give you something to talk about the next day at school with your new friends.
