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 should I do if someone tries to make me look uncool and childish?

Community Answer

The key is to not let someone dictate your behavior. Nobody can make you be something you're not. If someone insults or belittles you, your reaction determines whether you seem "uncool and childish." Reacting with anger or insults may appear immature, while laughing it off or ignoring the rudeness shows maturity and confidence.

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 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.

Question

What should I do if everyone in my class seems to like the mean popular girl?

Community Answer

Some classmates might pretend to like her out of fear. Mean behavior often intimidates others to gain control. Remember, kindness is more powerful than meanness. If she is bullying you, report it to a teacher or parent.

Question

What should I do if someone keeps reminding me of things that happened in the past?

Politely say, "The past is in the past, so please let it go," in a neutral voice. It's important to focus on the present.

What should I do if someone tells me I'm not cool?

Ignore them. They are likely just being immature and insecure. You can give them a big eye roll if you want to.
