Have you ever wanted to be a role model for somebody? A group of people? Your class or grade? The entire school?! If so, follow these tips to be the cutest and most intelligent girl in your middle school!

Method 1
Method 1 of 4:

Making Friends

  1. 1
    Be confident. Talk with anybody and everybody, and yes, even do so with the adults. Speak clearly, and don't forget that the way you talk can make your reputation ("slow", "talkative", "fast", etc.).
  2. 2
    Look confident. Show off your bright smile, and walk with your back straight and your chin up (but don't try too hard, you'll look stiff). Give off an essence of confident, by looking and acting the part. Don't be afraid to wear something that's your style or is different (just don't push it).

  3. 3
    Be enthusiastic. Talk cheerfully, and be creative with your projects and assignments. Try out for the team if everybody thinks you're good enough, and run for school president if you're likable and ready for the job. Give fantastic speeches, and color code your subjects and notes. Be very bubbly and artistic.
    • Don't be hyper or excited all the time. Enthusiastic means being happy and ready when you need to be. This will create a bad reputation, and it just makes you seem immature.
  4. 4
    Talk with everybody. Just chat up somebody who's not busy, introduce yourself to the kids sitting around you, sit down with anyone at lunch, and strike up a conversation with a new person at the end of the day. This is a good start - now about five or six people (at least) know you!
  5. 5
    Make sure people know your name. Imagine how embarrassing it would be for them to have to claim they don't know you in front of a huge crowd? Say your name at the beginning of class, and embellish your binders and notebooks with it (just once for every item, though!) Tell them a bit about yourself, so they'll think about you (that makes the name stick). Ask them about their lives, too - it's caring.
  6. 6
    Be memorable. This is how your name will stay with people. Ask about them, and be understanding and kind. Tell them some interesting things about you, and compliment them on their clothing or personality if you mean it. Then, tell them goodbye and that you'll talk to them tomorrow. This is the mother of memorable keywords, and this cannot be stressed this enough, say it! When you say that, they'll keep you in mind. They'll know you'll be in touch.

Staying Social

  1. 1
    Make it your goal to talk to at least five new people a day (but don't forget the people you first spoke with!) This helps everybody know you, because they'll introduce you to their friends, and it snowballs into a big jumble of friends (which is great!).
  2. 2
    Improve your relationships. Speak with everybody you've met when you see them (only when they're unoccupied), and help them out (i.e. help carry their history project). When you think you have an established friendship, friend them on Facebook or get their Skype. Offering to put their number in your cell phone is great too. This is also perfect to let people know you're in the loop!
  3. 3
    Post, like, and comment a lot on facebook. Just don't overdo the statuses, or seem like a stalker. If you don't have a Facebook account , ask for one! If your parents have Facebook promise to friend mom/dad/both. Listen to their posting/commenting rules.
  4. 4
    Ignore gossip. If somebody says something rude about you, just say, "Whatever, if you think so," without care and then walk away. You'll become less of a target. Also, the number one rule is to never spread gossip! It's lying, and you'll lose lots of friends. Just stick to being the kind kid you are.

Method 3 of 4:

Being Smart

  1. 1
    Read the books, do your homework. Follow along in class! If you struggle with remembering things, take notes on flash cards, index cards, or in your notebook. This will help later on when you have homework and projects. If you have to remember terms and equations, write them down!
  2. 2
    If you're having trouble in a subject, study! If studying isn't helping you, ask for help from your teacher, an intelligent classmate, or get a tutor. Being behind in classes can send a lot of insults and names your way, which, in large amounts, can be hard to shrug off.
  3. 3
    Be creative! Have to color? Make it vibrant and unique. Got a project? Put in lots or colors and add little features. A book report? Cut out and paste newspaper letters for the title and vocabulary words.
  4. 4
    Color! Fill in your notes with bright pens and highlighters. Have designed or colored notebooks and binders. Write with eccentric pens and pencils. Also, color code by the subject/class (this includes book covers!)

Looking Great

  1. 1
    Be hygienic. Wash your face twice a day, and brush your teeth at least twice a day (don't forget floss and mouthwash!). Shower daily and every other day. Shave in spring and summer when you'll be wearing short sleeves and shorts if you think having less hair makes you cute and smart, not everyone does. Use a little bit of perfume/body spray on your neck and wrists.
  2. 2
    Do your hair differently. One day, braid back your bangs, and the next day, curl the front of your hair. Use cute bobby pins, hair clips, and headbands (elastic and plastic). Wear a sweatband under your hair in gym. Tie your hair back sometimes, too, and accessorize.
  3. 3
    Dress nicely. Get fluorescent colors, floral patterns, polka dots, stripes, and pastels. Wear these items if you, or, just get them..
    • Get tops at Forever 21, Kohl's, Target, JCPenney, Urban Outfitters, American Eagle, and Aeropostale or similar stores where you live. Forever 21 is fantastic for cute sweaters and dresses.
    • Get jeans at Aero, Forever 21, Kohl's, and JCPenney or similar stores where you live. Aero has a huge selection of skinny jeans.
    • Get shoes at Payless, Van, and American Eagle. If these shops don't trade in malls or high streets near you, look up on line what the sell and try to buy similar looking shoes. Get shoes like flats, slip-ons, Toms, Sperrys, Vans, and American Eagle. Keds are also very stylish, and Bobs can be, too.

    Be relaxed. Act like it's nothing and you're just friends. If you like the guy, flirt a little. Try touching his arm when you're talking, this will send the message that you like him.

    Look at the clothes in the stores where you live and decide for yourself if they'd make you cute and smart. Many people think you have to buy new clothes to look good, but you don't. You probably look cute and smart in the clothes you already have. If you want to update your wardrobe, look at TV shows, magazines, pop videos, etc. produced where you live and see what clothes people you think are smart and cute are wearing, and try to wear those kinds of clothes.

    Comb charity shops like your life depends on it! Look for good fabrics above all else. Feel items with your hand to see if it feels like cotton and not something unpleasant like polyester. Try vintage dresses and big men's shirts over skinny jeans. Then all you need is new shoes, which you can order online.
