Q&A for How to Look Pretty (Preteens)

Honestly, I would recommend going into any trendy boutique or youth clothing store and just look around. Anything that those stores are carrying is going to be trendy.

It's all about crafting a look that's mature and elegant. Don't overdo it and don't overdress. Stick with sleeker, crisper outfits and choose a handful of elegant accessories to make things pop.

Some preteens smoke, and it’s important for them to know the health risks that come along with it so they do not become addicted.

Wear what makes you happy and don't worry about what other people say. In middle school and high school, pretty much everyone gets made fun of for their clothes.

Just wear what you want! You're probably overthinking it. Get some basics, like solid color t-shirts, a pair of jeans that make you feel good, a pair of jean shorts, and a denim or floral skirt, along with some basic sweaters or hoodies and a denim or leather jacket. A lot of this stuff you can get at Walmart or Target so you don't break the bank (and you probably have some of it already).
