First, you might try looking up a few long hairstyles that are common for boys. While it's stereotypical for boys to have short hair, more and more guys are wearing their hair long, so this might be an option for you. Another option is to tie your hair back and then cover it with a hat. If you're not allowed to wear hats, perhaps you could tie your hair into a style similar to a "man-bun." If you're not a fan of this look, a wig can also be a great way to change up your hair.

Although your teacher can usually look up your given name and biological sex, they will likely respect your choices if you explain that you would prefer to be called by a different name and preferred set of pronouns.

If this doesn't work, your school principal or counselor might be able to help you talk to your teacher.

If the school offers pants as a part of the uniform, definitely opt for those. Moving schools is always an option, but obviously I would completely understand if you didn’t want to move. If you go to a co-ed school with a girls uniform and a boys uniform, see if you can switch to the boys uniform.

Use bobby pins the color of your hair and pin them back. You could also use gel.

if its long enough you could try to braid it and tuck it into the back of your shirt. I'm on the genderfluid spectrum (genderfaun) and I have a short mullet so you could try to get something like that or just get consent to trim it or to style it with layers and keep it thin on the bottom and thick on the top, as it'll look more neutral/shorter. there are a lot of other answers online, so you can look something up too.

You can buy some silicone ones for the more realistic breasts online but if you are not wearing tops that show your chest, you can wear a bra and stuff a little bit of socks or tissues but make sure that they look natural.
