217456 1559 Teens School & Studying School Life true Sat, 08 Mar 2008 07:57:19 -0800 Not quite the social butterfly?Here's how you can get out of that social casket. How To Be Cool in School http://www.howcast.com/videos/217456-How-To-Be-Cool-in-School http://www.howcast.com/videos/217456-How-To-Be-Cool-in-School/edit live 2 rocksrntpeople http://img.howcast.com/images/icons/howto-xxlarge.png 1586 83617 16392 0 Warning This can only be done once,if you do it more than once,people will know you’re trying too hard and will not respond positively to it.

]]> 83618 16393 0 Step prepare your hair for a further step Let your hair grow out for enough time for atleast an inch to grow if you’re a guy and atleast 2 1/2 inches if you’re a girl.

]]> 83619 16394 0 Step Find out what's cool to wear Take notice to what other kids in your school are wearing and how they coordinate their outfits and what kind of shoes they are wearing.

]]> 83620 16395 0 Step Find out what the stores have Look through your local newspaper and find all the advertisements for clothes in various stores(i.e. target,walmart,american eagle,ect)These almost always have people modeling their clothes in cool outfits.

]]> 83621 16396 0 Step Browse the stores Go to the mall. In pretty much every store,there will be manicans with outfits already picked out,these are nice outfits,no matter what you think.If they weren’t nice,they wouldn’t be used as advertisement.Go to multiple stores before trying anything.

]]> 83622 16397 0 Step Ask for help Ask the clerk to show you where you can find all of the clothes on a manican/pictures you think look best.

]]> 83623 16398 0 Tip Try your best not to get the same colors,chances are,some one else at school has seen this manican and bought its’ clothes. It would be embarrassing to be caught wearing the same outfit as someone else.If you’re unsure what other colors you should get,try just getting opposites of the colors(blue-green or red,black-white,ect.)

]]> 83624 16399 0 Step Try on clothes Try on the clothes,if you only picked a top,wear jeans with them,jeans almost always look good with everything.

]]> 83625 16400 0 Step Purchase clothes Buy 1-4 outfits at the mall,make sure to not only buy tops or only jeans but an even amount of both.

]]> 83626 16401 0 Step Purchase cheaper clothes Go to a non-name brand store such as target,walmart or kohl’s to buy another 5-7 outfits that have the same “look” as your other clothes.Repeat steps 5 and 6 while you are in the store.Again,make sure to buy even amounts of everything.

]]> 83627 16402 0 Tip If you are a girl,it isn’t ok to just buy pants,you will need to buy shorts and pants and capris and(optional)skirts.Guys,please don’t buy capris or skirts.

]]> 83628 16403 0 Step Buy shoes Find shoes to match with your outfits.If you are a girl buy atleast 4 pairs of shoes(1 pair of flats,1 pair of flip flops,and 2 pairs of sneakers) if you want to be “popular” ,if you just want to be a little more social,one pair of sneakers will safice.Guys,you will only need 1 pair of sneakers,maybe 2 if you choose to have them.

]]> 83629 16404 0 Tip Not sure which colors to buy?You can never go wrong with black or white.

]]> 83630 16405 0 Step Go get a hair cut Now that you have new outfits,it’s time for you to cut and style your hair.Go to a barber/salon.

]]> 83631 16406 0 Step Decide on what style to cut your hair If you’re a guy that prefers short hair,get it edged and(optional)designs on the side of your head.If you’re a guy that prefers longer hair,get it layered and make sure it goes somewhat past your ears.If you are a girl,look at a magazine and decide what you like,show the picture to the stylist and ask her opinion if she has a nice haircut.

]]> 83632 16407 0 Tip Guys,do not get a mullet.Girls,if everyone at the hair salon has bad haircuts,go somewhere else.Also,keep in mind not every haircut looks good on everyone.You may color your hair if you choose but remember that you will have to keep it up once the roots come back in.

]]> 83633 16408 0 Step Don't have a big backpack If you have a large backpack,get rid of it.Your backpack should have one main pocket and one very small one in the front as a pencil bag.Decide what you absolutely need to bring to school,chances are if you need crayons,glue,or other bulky items,the teacher will tell you ahead of time.

]]> 83634 16409 0 Step Pick good eyewear If you wear glasses,get a sleek pair that look great with your eye color,or get contacts.Don’t have thick rimmed glasses or contacts in a color that clearly isn’t yours.

]]> 83635 16410 0 Step Make friends Ask your classmates for help or help them,introduce your self.Make these people your friends,you have to see them everyday anyway.Make sure you are not always giving answers or anything to them until you’ve been friends a good long while,they may use you and not really want to be your friends.

]]> 83636 16411 0 Step Look full of Pride When you walk in the halls,hold your head up at eye level with everyone.Don’t walk with your head down.Pretend you just bought Bill Gates and act as though you’re a very proud person,even if you aren’t.Remember,school is mostly an act,so don’t be afraid to act like you aren’t afraid of strangers and could hurt them,even if you couldn’t.

]]> 83637 16412 0 Warning Don’t go looking for trouble,there are consequences to fighting in school and you might not be able to go against some people.Just look strong but never approach bigger people,this is school,not jail.

]]> 83638 16413 0 Step Say hi When you walk through the halls,be sure to say"hey(person’s name)"whenever you see someone you know in the halls.If they don’t see you,don’t worry,act as though they did so people don’t stare.If you’re walking with someone and they saw,make a joke about how you hate when that happens,it happens to everyone and they will laugh and agree with you.

]]> 83639 16414 0 Tip Don’t be discouraged when at first people don’t say hey back,if you never said hi to them before in the halls,they probably weren’t expecting it and so didn’t react quickly enough to return the greeting.In a few days,they’ll be waving back at you.

]]> 83640 16415 0 Step Don't embarrass yourself When in conversation,try not to say anything that doesn’t fit with the conversation.You should be able to tell what is socially acceptable to say by the kind of conversations you are having(example:it is not ok to make racist comments)

]]> 83641 16416 0 Step Be Cool!!! Step out of your cocoon and enjoy being a new social butterfly!Even if you can’t go out much because of parental restrictions,don’t fret,just explain and complain about it to your new friends,they’ll understand or help you sneak out.You can still be social at school even if you don’t do much out of school.
