Teenage Express magazine offers some ideas on how to be cool.
- Think of your good qualities. List them. You’re going to find that you have a lot of them!
- Take care of your appearance and your clothes. Keep your hair clean and well groomed. Your clothes don’t have to be expensive. They just have to look nice. Sometimes a classic look is better than the latest extreme style.
- Compliment people and smile a lot. Meet new people and be friendly to them. Don’t be shy. If you want to meet someone, go ahead and introduce yourself. People usually like an outgoing person.
- Be very nice to everyone. But if someone bothers you, defend yourself and say what think. Never let anyone bring you down. Say about you. They are probably jealous.
- Be yourself at all times, because trying to be some one else is not good. Being cool doesn’t mean being someone you are not.
- Being cool does not mean being silly or stupid. So study hard and be smart. Learn useful information about a lot of topics. Your friends are going to respect and admire you for that.
- Be proud of your qualities and who you are. Remember, being cool is mostly a matter of matter of attitude.
