It is a challenging time in the seventh grade.You still worry about fitting in at a new school even after you've been there before.You see beloved athletes, popular girls at the "cool" table at lunch, and the kids who don't seem to care about anything other than partying and you want to be that.When you go to high school, you realize how unimportant their reputations are.You will be cool in seventh grade if you put effort into your appearance and have a good attitude.
Step 1: Make friends.
Being alone isn't cool and neither is chasing the friendship of the people with the most status.If you want to make more friends, instead of befriending the most attractive people, spend time with friends the same gender as you, and don't abandon them if you do.Good friends make you feel better and healthier.If you want to impress immature kids, stay home with your friends.Even if you want to eat ice cream and watch a movie, there are other things you can do together.Spending time with friends is more important than using social media.
Step 2: Carefully use social media.
Social media can be used to connect to friends, but it can also cause problems.It is easy to be wrapped up in negative activities.Don't make a bad name for yourself by being rude, stay connected with others, and discuss interests.You should take as much time off from social media as possible.Don't try to impress others.You don't need to compete to take pictures.In the pictures and on the page, having fun and doing what comes naturally will make you seem cool.You can respond quickly and angrily online, but you can also be retaliated against.Turn off the computer and calm down.
Step 3: Stay up to date on the trends.
Have you heard that new song?To be cool is to be able to keep up with what everyone else knows.Even if you don't like the song, you will be able to talk about it.Common ground helps you start a conversation and become friends with someone.
Step 4: There is a sense of humor.
You can learn jokes if you struggle with being entertaining, but humor also includes the way you look at your situation.A mistake in the seventh grade can look like a big deal.People may joke about it if you treat it like one.Maintaining your cool is a part of learning to let life not bother you.You will end up laughing at many of the memories if you remember that the things that look bad now won't mean anything later on.
Step 5: Don't tell secrets.
It doesn't matter if you think someone is trustworthy.If you send a naked picture of yourself or plan a surprise for a friend in the seventh grade, the school will know.The other seventh graders will distort the message if they feel the need to know and be first to tell.You don't want to be public knowledge.This goes for everything anyone else tells you.Someone who can't be trusted is the last person you want to be.Keep it a secret.Talk to a trusted adult if it is important.
Step 6: Get moving.
Athletes are considered cool.A limited group of students get to participate in sports.Outside of school, you can participate in sports.If you aren't athletically inclined, getting active means finding something else you enjoy, like a school club or a youth group.It's important to find something you enjoy.While doing it, make friends.You will become more confident and appear cooler.Don't worry about what other people think of your activities.
Step 7: Be who you are.
If you want to fit in, you can adjust your appearance and behavior.Do not be afraid to like what you like.Own it.This will make you feel better and more confident.Someone trying to be cool is obvious to everyone around them.
Step 8: Take care of your schoolwork
Being studious isn't cool.Neither is being stopped.If you don't do the work, your parents may keep you in the house, make you go to tutoring, or force you to do it later anyway.Doing badly hurts your future and being considered dumb doesn't make you look cool either.You don't have to say you love school.Do the best you can by getting the work done.
Step 9: Don't break rules.
There are a lot of stories of kids experimenting with sex, drugs, and disobeying in the seventh grade.If you want to pull away from parents and teachers, you will have better results if you don't break the rules.The time spent being superficial and partying makes you miss out on long-term friends.The kids who socially strive to be cool by doing things like stealing, cutting class, and having relationships lose their coolness as they progress in life.
Step 10: Be friendly.
It is difficult when you are around popular kids.They act aggressively to raise their own status.This is very unpleasant.You will avoid making enemies and people who are tired of being cool will appreciate it if you treat everyone with respect.Without disrespect, greet people warmly.Do your best to be friendly.Don't talk behind someone else's back.Be friendly to adults too.Showing hostility isn't impressive and leads to more trouble, even if you want to get away from parents and teachers.
Step 11: Conflicts can be solved peacefully.
Flared tempers don't make anyone look cool, but fights may be encouraged by other kids.When conflicts occur, try to understand the problem and come up with a solution.The seventh grade is a difficult time of life, so fighting and being catty makes you look bad when emotions get the better of you.Listen to the other person's perspective after you've identified the problems.Don't use what someone else says to attack.Find common interests and use them to make a decision.Leadership skills can be used to impress adults if you show them that you are in control.
Step 12: You should take a shower.
When your body begins to do weird things that make you feel like your reputation is in danger, you are in middle school.It is time to take a shower every morning if you haven't done it before.This removes body odor, sweat, and grease from hair.Use a small amount of bathing product, lather it up, and rinse it with warm water.It's a good idea to wash your hair.If your hair is oily, choose a product that is designed for it.Bath products that have a strong scent are not good for perfume or cologne use.
Step 13: Body hair can be shaved.
This is not mandatory.Other kids make you feel self-conscious because you don't have much hair.shaving is an adult activity that many others are eager to try, but a few people look down upon natural body hair.If you haven't started yet, ask your parents to show you how to shave.Remove the shave gel from the areas you will shave.Go in the direction of the hair growth with a safe but sharp razor.The razor has to be moved in all angles.You can stroke up your legs for girls.The upper lip needs to be stroked downwards.Start from the side of the face and move in the direction of hair growth for boys.This is usually downwards until you get to the throat.
Step 14: It's a good idea to apply deodorant.
Your body makes odors when you sweat.It's necessary to stop that.After taking a shower, apply your chosen deodorant to your feet, and consider using it on non-sensitive areas.The spray should last until you get home.It's a bad idea to use deodorant that is very smelly.A bad smell is a sure way to be considered uncool.If necessary, try antiperspirants.Antiperspirants can prevent sweating.For excessive sweating, choose a brand that has more than ten percent aluminum.
Step 15: It's a good idea to put on a scent.
It helps cover up the odors of the body.To be good, the fragrance doesn't have to be expensive.The best time to apply them is after you have dried your skin after a shower, as they are best able to get into it.Stand still and apply something onto you.Warming areas include the neck, lower jaw, chest, and shoulders.If you want to start with a scent, spray it first and let it rest.The smell is weaker whenubbing it in.Go slow.Don't use too much.It should not smother those around you and it shouldn't be detected far away.
Step 16: You should style your hair.
Everyone is able to see your hair.A style that looks trendy will let you know you are cool and one that is boring will hurt your appearance.Frame your natural hair in a way that emphasizes your features is the most important factor.Ask your hairdresser or parents if they have inspiration.The best style will be unique to you, so look at what celebrities and cool kids around you do.Products such as gel or straightener devices are an option, but be wary of copying a bland style that people around you try.
Step 17: Don't apply makeup too much.
Makeup isn't a necessity.You don't have to cover up your appearance, but you may have seen your mother and other adults applying makeup.Use a small amount if you choose to use some.Lipstick, eyeliner, blush, and foundation are not appealing.Keep in mind that small containers of lipgloss and eyeliner are minimums.If you want to learn how to apply makeup, have your parent or makeup counter clerk show you how.Get used to your own skin instead of covering it.Gain confidence from your appearance and learn to love it.Makeup can't give you a coolness factor.
Step 18: It's a good idea to dress nicely.
The appearance is important.You start to feel better when you dress well.Many students shop at expensive retailers and may look down on general stores like Walmart, but instead of spending all their money, find what looks good on them and work that into their own style.You can find clothes that fit you.Your jeans should not be baggy, but they should be skin-tight.Short skirts and thin tops will get you in trouble.Don't try to look like a student.Limit wearing what others are wearing, such as school logos, bland jeans or worn-out shirts.Remember to make your own style instead of copying someone else's, but look to others for ideas.If you wear a uniform, the only thing you can do is change it.Making an individual statement with accessories is a good way to do it.
Step 19: Accessorize.
Everyone can benefit from choosing accessories that look unique and individual if they have to wear a uniform.You should choose ones that speak to you rather than those that are popular.They shouldn't be over the top in design or brightness, but they should stand out enough to catch the eye of those around you.Instead of wearing flip-flops or worn-out sneakers, find shoes of different designs and materials and match them to your outfit.Try to avoid puffy coats, but don't sacrifice warmth.You can choose a backpack, handbag, and school supplies with designs and colors that compliment your clothes.It is possible to apply color and designs to hair accessories and jewelry in a way that displays your individuality.
