How to Have Your Own Personal Style

Tired of the same, old clothes? Want to stand out from the crowd? Want to have your own personal style? Here's help!

Steps

1. 
   1
   Think about your personality. Your style needs to match your personality. Don't wear goth clothes if you're a sweet, girly girl, otherwise people will get the wrong idea of you. Your clothes are like a description of you!
2. 
   2
   Don't always wear the latest trends. Instead, mix it up a little. Look at a magazine from three years ago and one from now. See what was in back then and what's in now, and mix up those styles.
3. 
   3
   Mix up styles. Go back to step 1 for more ideas. Are you a really girly girl, but love to play sports? Than you can wear girly sporty clothes. Are you really casual and basic, but sometimes like to dress up? Start mixing up two different styles and see what you have!
4. 
   4
   Have a signature look. Again, it needs to match your style and personality. Your signature look can be something like pink lipstick or curly, voluminous hair.
5. 
   5
   Get a new haircut. The haircut needs to match the style.
6. 
   6
   Give your friends fashion tips. Tell them what you think the new "it" look is.
7. 7
   Be a trendsetter.
8. 
   8
   If someone starts to copy your style, don't change your style. Try standing out even more or just tell them to stop copying you.

How to Be a Good Kid

In addition to being a good child (to your parents), you can be a good kid in general by following these steps.

Steps

1. 
   1
   Listen to your parents and do all the stuff they ask you to do and never argue or complain.
2. 
   2
   Clean your room, do the dishes, take out the trash, and much more. If you do all the things they ask you to do, you don't have to worry about the stuff. You may get the games and cell phone you always wanted. Try to go the extra mile.
3. 3
   Respect your parents! Even though you might not get your own way, the more you do for them and more you respect them, the more they will want to do something for you.
   • Respect is not the same thing as conformity. This simply means that you can still disagree with your parents, but respect their decisions anyway.
4. 
   4
   Don't do any drugs, and don't drink alcohol.
5. 5
   Don't go over your limits on anything.
6. 
   6
   Don't drink alcohol until you're 21 unless you are in a different country or state with a lower age and you have your parents' permission.
7. 
   7
   Don't smoke or chew tobacco.
8. 
   8
   Stay in school and work very hard on your studies. Set goals for the future.
9. 9
   Be polite; manners are always important.
10. 
    10
    Do something worthwhile, such as donating all of your saved up money to UNICEF, a charity that supports children in third world countries.
11. 
    11
    Adopt a pet from the shelter. Give it all of your love. Spoil it rotten. These animals need a lot of loving, something that they are lacking in.
12. 
    12
    Be kind, generous and forgiving. Smile graciously, respect others and help out. It might be impossible at first, but just start off by helping out your dad paint the fence, or being a shoulder to cry on when little Sally's pet goldfish dies.
13. 
    13
    Act like a kid, but don't be immature. Be responsible. Read novels and participate in class, even enter spelling bee competitions. It's not nerdy.
14. 
    14
    Smile. This will show your parents that you are enjoying life, and are not looking for any trouble.
15. 
    15
    Never throw temper tantrums and fight with parents. It's childish and you should grow up.
16. 
    16
    Look innocent and be innocent.
17. 17
    If you have a problem with your parents or siblings, don't go throw a tantrum right in the middle of dinner or when you feel like it, go up to your room and punch a pillow if you're mad.
18. 
    18
    Don’t be nervous of talking in the school. Talk to your friends and be nice to the people you don't like also.
19. 
    19
    Don't skip from person to person. Like one person at a time, sometimes we get confused about who we like and its all jumbled in our minds. You don't want to lead anyone on. That might hurt them, and you in the end.
20. 
    20
    If you like someone be nice and smile! Respect them and their views, but don't use all your time thinking about them, take some time for your friends too!
21. 
    21
    If they don't like you back, respect them. Sometimes people just don't like other people, you can always just be friends. If you´re badly upset and jealous of whoever they like, talk it out with a friend who understands.
22. 
    22
    Try to keep your grades up and do your best in school.
23. 23
    Be kind to everyone you know.
24. 
    24
    Don't cuss or swear.
25. 
    25
    Go to bed on time without discussing.
26. 
    26
    Eat all your food without complaining. Try to eat a balanced diet.
27. 27
    Be thankful for what you have.
28. 
    28
    Help out your parents when you think they need help.
29. 
    29
    Never talk back to your parents or anyone.
30. 30
    Be nice to your friends and family. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
