How to Be Confident and Popular in Private School


from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

You can be yourself and still be well-liked. Here's how!

Steps


  1. Practicing good hygiene is crucial to being well-liked.
  2. Make sure your hair is neat or gorgeously-messy. It's recommended that you wash and condition your hair every night.
  3. Wash your body with a good-smelling body wash and exfoliate about twice a week.
  4. Wear a light perfume or some lotion to make yourself smell really good and clean. Deodorant is a must!
  5. Usually private schools have strict dress codes and usually uniforms. Add your own accessories! Tie colorful shoelaces on your shoes or add cute headbands or paint your nails because usually a bunch of colors are allowed. Show as much of your own individuality that's allowed.
  6. Getting good grades and being involved is considered cool. Private schools take education so seriously. Getting A's and B's are really good because people see you as an easy person to talk to.
  7. Get involved! Getting into clubs and sports are a great way to meet people. Plus, it's a sure fire way to get to know people with your interests.
  8. Be outgoing. By going up to a person and saying,"Do you have algebra 1 next period?" they'll admire your confidence. Plus, you might have someone to sit by that period. Keep this up and you'll have a group by lunchtime.


Tips


  • Preppiness is common in private schools. Lacoste is a popular prep brand. So is Ralph Lauren.
  • A lot of girls wear pearls because they're really pretty and simple. You can go to Claire's if you don't want to pay for real ones.
  • Be outgoing and be yourself, most importantly.
  • If your private school is apart of a religion make sure to express great interest in that religion to gain acceptance.


Warnings


  • Don't try to be someone you're not, because you know yourself the most. And most likely you will become friends with people you aren't even close to liking.
  • Also beware of becoming spoiled!
