Expert Answer

If you feel secure about yourself, you will be free to be authentic, vulnerable, assertive, interested, and accepting of others. These are qualities that most people like.

Question

What if somebody tries to make you look uncool and childish?

Community Answer

The key here is to not let this be about someone making you behave in a certain way. Nobody can make you be something you're not. If someone goads you by calling you names, putting you down or suggesting that you're unimportant, it's your reaction that determines whether or not you look "cool and childish". Throwing a tantrum, swearing, getting angry and calling them names would prove to be an uncool, immature response. On the other hand, laughing off the jibes, ignoring the rudeness and staying cool, calm and collected will go a long way to disproving any detractor's attempts to reduce your status.

Question

What type of clothes do you need to wear?

Community Answer

There's no wrong answer. Cool clothes are clothes you pull off with confidence -- just ask any rap or movie star wearing ridiculous clothes on the red carpet. If someone laughs or makes fun of your clothes, brush it off with a laugh or joke of your own.

Question

What if you are not allowed to wear make up and you have to wear a school uniform...?

Community Answer

In this case, you might find the article How to Look Great with a Strict School Uniform a useful read for tips and hints on wearing a uniform in an individualistic way that helps your popularity. Popularity is also more than about appearance and clothes; it's about your personality, your engagement with other people and your kind attitude toward others.

Question

What if other people want to copy me at what I always do?

Community Answer

Accept it as a form of flattery. If it really bothers you, change your style a bit. If they persist, it just means you're a trend-setter.
