How to change your social status

Maybe you're one of the bullies or thugs at your school, or maybe you're one of the "nerds" who doesn't really have a lot of friends. Either way it's possible no matter what your current social status is to change it and to become the person you want to be. It might not seem very important to you what other people think of you, and what category of a teenager you are placed in. But if you think about it, the way that you think about yourself and the way that others think about you will greatly affect a lot of the choices you will make and in the end will decide which direction you go to in your life. So if you're the class clown, you might actually end up working at a fast food joint, being a comedian or even worse - becoming a real clown.

So the first step is to figure out what people think about you right now. Think of the category other people would put you in if they were asked to classify your social status. Are you the studious type, the relaxed mellow person, the class clown, the mean bully, the thief, the cool kid, the popular boy or girl, the nerd, the loser, the outcast, the jock, the visible minority? Alright, now that you know what other people think about you, decide what you want to be. What do you want people to associate you with, do you want them to think of you as a cool kid, a smart kid, a popular kid, a nice person, a charitable person, a pretty person, an interesting person.

Once you know what you want to be associated with, think about where that will take you in life. This might seem weird, but it's important to think about this. If you decided that you want people to think of you as the tough guy, and you think about your future as a tough guy then you might realize that you don't want to be a bouncer at a club or work in a jail. But maybe you would like to be a lawyer. It all depends on your aspirations as well. So now that you know what you want and where that will bring you, make sure you want to go where your new image will take you. If you're alright with this future image of yourself, great.

Now to make other people think of you as a funnier, smarter, happier, nicer, prettier person here is what you need to do. Take the attribute or social status that you had picked and figure out what all the people who currently have that status do that makes them have "it". Maybe the popular girls all sit together at lunch and chat. Maybe all the athletic guys work out after school and join the sports leagues. All the smart computer kids write programs in their free time and join the computer club. You get the idea: find out what makes someone a part of a social club. Then do it! It might sound a little bit oversimplified, but really if you can just apply what you need to make you be what you want to be, then everything works out just like it should.

One word of warning though, don't try to make these changes too quickly. Trying to become the popular kid overnight might be disastrous if the current popular kids think you're not popularity material. So just take is easy and with a little bit of time, you will reach your social status goals.
