    Make your bed as soon as you wake up. When you wake up from your deep sleep, your bed will probably look atrocious from all that turning and tossing. Pick up any items that fell on the floor such as your pillow, blanket, or stuffed animals, and place them in the correct spot. Many children don't often do this so it will be a nice present for you and your parents. Check for any stains or lingering odor from your pillowcase, bed sheet, or blanket and toss them into the washing machine.

    Prepare a nutritional breakfast. Whip up a bowl of porridge with plump, juicy berries, cinnamon, nuts, and whatever you like on top that will keep you full until lunchtime. Don't be tempted to eat those sugary cereals! Not a big fan of porridge? No problem! There are plenty of healthy breakfast options to choose from. [1]

    Head back upstairs, grab a toothbrush, squeeze out some toothpaste and brush away . Set a timer for 2 minutes and don't forget to use floss and mouthwash. Use a gentle face wash to clean your face, apply face cream even if you have oily skin to prevent dryness. Do something cute yet simple with your hair such as pigtails, ponytail, messy bun, flat iron it, curl it, half up half down, etc. If you are a girl, wear pretty headbands and hair clips. Pick out an outfit that is both appropriate for school and the weather. Make sure they follow the dress code. Here are examples of things you could wear.
    • In winter, wear some nice warm pants or jeans and a cute shirt or sweater with a jacket.
    • In summer, wear a nice short-sleeved shirt with shorts or a skirt, or a pretty dress. If your skirt or dress is short, wear tights or leggings underneath.
    • In spring, wear a nice short-sleeved or long-sleeved shirt with leggings, pants, or a skirt. You could also wear a romper or dress.
    • In autumn, wear a sweater or long-sleeved shirt with leggings or pants.
    • Obviously, you shouldn't wear clothing with inappropriate messages since you'll most likely get in big trouble.

    Raise your hand and don't fiddle with things in your desk. This shows that you're engaged in the lesson and can even improve your marks overall. Don't rush your work. Yes, it's nice if you finish quickly, but it's nicer if you finish last and get everything done the way it should be. If you don't understand a lesson during school, don't disrupt the lesson, wait patiently. Listen, and if you still don't understand, ask the teacher for some support. They'll be more than happy to help you. [4]

    Your mother/father took time out of their day to cook for you, you might as well thank them by eating it. When it's time for dinner and maybe you have vegetables, eat them. It will help in school and keep you healthy. Wasting food is not acceptable. If you can't eat your dinner anymore, give it to one of your siblings and take smaller portions next time.

      Warnings

      • Avoid arguing. If you do, try to make it short, stay on topic, don't shoot insults, don't play the blame game. Be mature, not like some annoying 3-year-old brat having annoying butt tantrum like nobody's watching.
        Thanks
      • Don't be egotistical after going through all the steps, many are disciplined.
        Thanks
      • Don't be too hard on yourself! It seems like a cliché, but nobody is perfect. If you get criticized, don't take it too personally. Make it as a motivation to get better.
        • If it's an obvious bashing from a bully, though, don't listen to them. You need to learn how to differentiate between helpful criticism and bashing.
        Thanks
