How do those ‘cool friends’ get to be cool?
CONFIDENCE.
Not Conceit.
Confidence.
And that’s what I’m saying…
project confidence!

cool gets get to be cool by how they interact with the hottest girls, i went to skool with a kid who could say anything to them
and he would be ridicualsly rude and they would would all worship him. This kid literally ran highschool everyone would copy what he did. but yea i mean confidence does play a big part

confidence works in the real world. Many times those kings and
queens get fat real fast, and lose their looks, but still go on
as if they are the centre of the world, and as long as they do,
they get the nod.

Trust me, its not quite this simplistic. Its about who you know and your history. Being confident and nice is a good start though-but never ever do anything mean to anyone, because the social pool changes all the time & you never know who’s up and down!

sup, so yea i was just thinking about what was said, and i try to be confident etc with what i do and say, but it still seems like some kids have just labled me as someone whose not a loser, but not that cool. They joke around and it gets a little annoying. I try to laugh with em since its not offensive, just annoying, but its a few kids and they keep doing it. Btw girls are not an issue, im fine with them, just getting better friends with the kids who im gonna be spending most of the rest of high school with. Any tips would be nice, most of the jokes are just about my small lisp or how im a little weird with my gesticulations and what i say. Just want em to think of me as cooler so i could hang out with them with girls and not have them keep making the jokes in front of them.

a fool, posted this comment on Jan 15th, 2009

There was a boy who spoke slow, and what he used to do when someone asked him something or spoke to him was to say; “Well, I
talk really slow so if you don’t want to hear me, I get it.” And
the way he said it, people would say; “No man, talk.” If you bring up the ‘uncool’ thing, then either it’s on the table so no reason to mention it, or they’ll wave it away.

Another thing; listen. Most people don’t listen. When you do it
makes people really want to talk to you.

alvin, posted this comment on Jan 17th, 2009

That was great and most of it is true. There is one problem though. For some reason, most kids have to do drugs or alcohol to be precieved as cool. If they are the only one not doing it then it is still very hard to keep your “cool” status.

a fool, posted this comment on Jan 17th, 2009

there are always ways to get out of it, from the Bill Clinton
‘don’t inhale’ (blowing out instead of inhaling a spliff) to having to go…like you know that they’re all going to Vinnies
to get high, and you act like you’re going but then, ‘have to’ go someplace else. Cause once you get drunk or high and lose control you might make a fool of yourself and lose your coolness.

As great as this advice is and the whole confidence thing I agree with. But Im currently in High School and there’s these certain boys at my school they’re these 6 brothers. They’re known as the De Leon Dynasty, these boys run the school. Your first reaction is are they human? They’re heights range from 6′8-6′9!!! They’re built like professional football players. They are the most gifted athletic players I mean were talking varsity football,basketball,baseball players. Freshman year they were on Varsity, not one of them had to be on frosh soph or JV. They’re Amazing quarterbacks and on top of that they’re top students. But they can be very rude yet they have people eating out of the palm of their hands!! They treat girls like objects yet girls line up to date them. They’re known for drinking and smoking. They have the best parties and the nicest things. They know how to run every single person in our school with their “charm”. And you’d think after the partying they’d fail, but no the three oldest are off in Havard and Yale. I guess some people are truly blessed…..

They got it down pat. They know how to exert that confidence. A lot
of us went to school with very tall kids who were ridiculed, or with
great sports men who were considered freaks, so how did these
guys get to be kings when kids just like them at other schools get
to be freaks? P R O J E C T I O N.

They call themselves the DeLeon Dynasty and they love themselves.
They get away with treating serfs as serfs, but I bet they never treat
other cool kids like that. I bet if you look back you’ll see that they
never treated that guy or that girl rudely; and when you check out
that guy or that girl you’ll see that if the Dynasty wasn’t there, they’d
be running the school

Chriss, posted this comment on Apr 5th, 2009

I earlier posted a comment about certain boys that I attend high school with. And I agree with what was said by “a fool” it is about projection they know how to be “kings”. Funny thing is they have a younger sister; the only and youngest girl of the “dynasty”. Meanwhile were all intimadated by her bulky demanding older brothers. Everyone likes her, she’s an amazing student and athlete as well but she’s known for being considerate and sweet. I have to admitt she’s definitely blessed in the looks department. The girl is 5′9 she’s definitely tall for a girl yet people are not intimidated by her. They like being around her people know who she is but for good reasons. She’s cool in the way we would all like to be. She doesent seem to have the need of being a “queen” or “leader”. Don’t get me wrong the girls brains and beauty can be intimidating at first but she’s chill. If only her brothers could be as laidback and cool as her….

a fool, posted this comment on Apr 5th, 2009

The brothers ‘created’ their personas before they entered High School. They had their scripts, their whole dance choreographed. They played it out to their
script and everyone behaved as ‘extras’ on their set. The sister didn’t plan anything because she didn’t have to. The brothers ran all the interference, created the stage, so all she has to do is breathe. Since no one wants to offend the brothers they are very nice to her. Since everyone is nice to her she is nice to everyone because she doesn’t know worse.

She probably never mapped it that people are automatically nice to her to
get on the brother’s good side, and she is instinctually nice to everyone who
is nice to her.

So you can see it right there…they are working at being cool, she’s just
floating. Now if any girl could see her, and just emulate the confidence, the
ease, the expectations that people will like and be nice to her, they will be
able to portray quintessential coolness.

I’m a freshmsn in High School right now I guess you could say Im one the “cool” kids. I’m in football,wrestling, and baseball. I’m the freshman president and I’m homecoming and winte formal prince. I’m going out with this amazing girl she’s beautiful,smart, and a complete sweetheart. But she’s extremely shy and tends to hide or rather blend in but shes truly amazing. My friends are constantly telling me she’s “not cool enough” or she “doesn’t belong”. It’s really annoying when they say that. I don’t get what they want or expect. My girlfriend is prettier and smarter then most the girls in our group.

a fool, posted this comment on Apr 6th, 2009

Don’t let anyone define you or define anyone else. You make
your own definitions. People can’t tell YOU who or what is
cool and not. YOU are the arbiter of Cool.
Some cool kids do ‘hide’ during the early years of High
School as they just can’t be bothered with the drama.
Some kids have lives outside of school which take priority
so they seem to be ‘invisible’.

Don’t let your friends try to break you up. Usually people do
that because they want her. You break up with her, one
of them consoles her…you know the story.

When they put her down, walk away and leave them.
Eventually they’ll learn not to bad mouth her.

Hey /a foo/, I’m going into high school in 09-10, and this is all very cool and all, but not all of us have endless confidence to pull this off. Or maybe people do, but I sure as heck don’t. I’ve never really been the confident, brash kind of guy, more just nice. Any tips on increasing confidence before I hit high school?

a fool, posted this comment on May 24th, 2009

Act confident. Act as if you know what you’re doing and what you’re about. If you don’t know about a thing, leave it alone.

Visit the high school now, under cover, just map it out, learn the terrain. See where the kids hang, notice the ‘cool’ section, the uncool section, notice the movements so that you won’t feel you are in ‘enemy territory’ when you make your first entrance.

Just be calm about it all. Pick out your clothes, how are the kids dressed? You dress like that. If they are all in jeans, you be in jeans. If they are all a bit more formal, that’s you do it.

Be calm, quiet, and nice. Don’t babble, don’t be looking at people like they are food and you’re hungry. Just tell yourself
to relax and take it all in like you would if you were alone in a forest, just enjoying the scenary.

Have a quiet pleasant look on your face, be alert, and know where you are going…i.e. where’s the auditorium? Where’s 103? where’s the Lab, just get yourself mapping out the building so you aren’t wandering around.

Develope a calm clear way of speaking, think about what you will say before you speak. And you’ll do fine.

a fool, posted this comment on May 24th, 2009

thanks jon…

I was lucky when I went to High School, my best friend was a year older, so I was virtually ‘groomed’ so entered as the kid the other kids wanted to know.

I was invited everywhere, and went virtually nowhere…i.e. the
‘hangouts’…nah. too much exposure. People will start ask questions and then you have to give answers. So I could breeze by on the way to elsewhere.

The drinking/drug parties…ya know…”My parents are going out…” and you’re supposed to come over and make an ass of
yourself. “That’s sounds cool…look for me with one eye as
I sort of promised a friend…” and keep it vague and don’t
show up.

Like Craig was the ultimate cool guy, until he got drunk and
was puking in the toilet and someone called him mother to take him home….end of cool.

Karen was cool until she went out with Gary and although nothing happened, Gary had a long war story about her…(Karen had been warned not to go one on one but to make it a foursome, her and a friend and her friend’s boyfriend…double date so Gary couldn’t have told lies with three people saying ‘lie’.

Jon, posted this comment on May 25th, 2009

Cool, I was wondering though, are you saying you should always strive to avoid exposure? Like, the hangouts are bad?

a fool, posted this comment on May 25th, 2009

You don’t want to be always there. “Oh, Jon? He’s always at Burger King…” And you don’t want to be…”Call Jon, he’ll go to anything.”

A cool kid is doesn’t hang out monday to friday unless it is a really great place, with a reason to be there. But you are not ‘always’ anywhere. Got to juggle it. So you could be watching the practice match, you could be in Library, you could be at the Computer Centre, you could be home, you could be at the usual hang out…but you don’t ‘live’ there.

You go, sure, you hang out, but when others start to leave, unless you are deep in conversation with someone, or eating, or
whatever, you aren’t the last to leave. And you aren’t always there.

You know you’re cool when people ask; “Looked for you at….yesterday.” Or “Man, you should of been there…”
Or, “I’ve been dying to tell you what happened…”

Jon, posted this comment on May 25th, 2009

Awesome, thanks. Sadly, I won’t get to tour the school with kids there, and see where the cool kids sit/stand/hang out ( I’m honestly not sure how that would have helped me anyway, I can’t just walk up to where the cool kids are and hang out, they’d kick my ass out) because at the highschool I’m going to the seniors graduated weeks ago, and the rest of the kids finish in 2-3 days. But I’ll definetly tour the school later in the summer to at least get a feel for where everything is so, as you said, I’ll know where I’m going and not be totally confused when I go for the first time. Also, thank you, seriously. I was really nervous about the coming year ( I still am, but not nearly as bad ) but now I’m more just excited to try this. I only have two more questions for you: how do you know that this applies everywhere; how do you know the dynamics of almost every school in the USA? And finally, your points tell about almost ever aspect of how to be cool in school except…jackasses. Every school has ‘em, some more than others. I’m not sure if they’re all that common in other places, but where I live ( Minneapolis ) they’re everywhere. And I’m not just talking about jerks, because, as you say, “you are the arbiter of cool” and anyone who doesn’t agree with you is a serf. I’m talking about the jackasses who are disturbed-quasi phycotic-often very large guys ( I’m a pretty big guy; these guys are bigger ) who are literally trying to hurt you, if they decide your their target. And often who they pick as their targets have nothing to do with how you treat them. I’m not asking how to deal with bullies, I can shove someone, or throw a punch, or walk away if I have to. I’m simply asking, how do you maintain your persona of cool when you have someone ( or more than one someone ) gunning for you, both verbal and physical.

a fool, posted this comment on May 25th, 2009

—can’t just walk up to where the cool kids are and hang out–

No, you just want to locate the vicinity. You want to know so you don’t accidentally be standing there until ‘invited’, and you don’t want to be standing where the goofs are.

–how do you know that this applies everywhere–

You can tell if a person is confident or nervous. They could be
in Japan, they could be in Accra, they could be in Sao Paulo.

If right now you went to some place you’d never been before and
stood up unobtrusively for a few minutes, you’d know which girl
was considered ‘hot’, which boy was the ‘leader’, which kids were outsiders.

Confidence is the trick. If you can walk in a certain way, hold
your head up in a certain way, not stare at anything, just walk
and take it all in as you pass, you will appear confident.

Avoidance is the word. If you see the big punks, you are elsewhere. You don’t look at them, you don’t hear them when they
talk, keep away from them and keep moving.

Don’t look at them. Suppose someone says, “Hey, you..” you keep walking. If he comes up to you, and says “I was talking to you..”
You say, “Why would you talk to me?” with a puzzled look and walk away.

He’ll be so unexpectant of this remark, you’ve got time to move.
And because you’ve spoken confident, not agressive, the same way you’d act with a wrong number, the guy is on the backfoot.

Okay, what are the cool kids wearing? You wear that. As you’ve
already been at the High School, so know all the classrooms are, you aren’t wandering around with a goofy look on your face, lost and head twisting around searching for the lab. You are walking along calm and relaxed, because you know where the lab is.

You know the school, you know where everyone is supposed to be, where you stand, where you don’t stand, the quickest route to the lunch room, etc. Simply put, you aren’t acting ‘new’.

No worries though man, I have a plan, I’ll just wear casual classics (mild-colored tee shirts, jeans, sweatshirts) for the first week or so while I’m scoping out the clothes, and then go shopping. Simple. Besides, (here comes the confidence) I’m good looking enough to pull it off. As for the hair, I’m gonna be experamenting this summer with medium and short cuts see what fits my face lol. Oh and you mentioned that when you got into highschool you had a friend a year older so you were groomed for popularity? Well, I may have a similar opportunity. I have a friend who’s actually two years older, a junior this coming year. He’s not exactly popular though, just fun and kind of a goof. Do you think I should avoid him, or will it help me to hang with him?

a fool, posted this comment on Jun 2nd, 2009

As a Junior he gives you instant protection, cause you won’t be a Frosh when you walk in, cause the casual eye might assume you’re not new. With hair, it’s not the cut as much as the condition. If your hair is well taken care of, shine and clean and looking expensive.

You’ll meet new people, so no matter how you want to play it, you and the junior will soon enough be in different circles. But don’t turn your back on him. The girls might like associating with a junior, and you’ll play it by ear.

A. Fool, posted this comment on Sep 6th, 2009

Tezzy, be friendly to everyone, it’s not biggie. Don’t hang out at uncool places, don’t always be with the uncool. Many hangouts
are public places. For example, take Rudy’s. That was a nothing
place, but for some reason, the cool kids ‘lived’ there.

You can always walk in with something especially cool to get attention…Nick had a pet iguana sitting on his shoulder, and
Sara had her toddler little brother who ran around and she got
to chase him, stopping to talk to this one and that.

The thing is, when you go to the hangout venue, uninvited, go dressed in a way that screams you’re going some place else
and are just stopping by.

Look good, act real confident and laid back. As you stand by
the counter ordering something, or getting change, or whatever, glance around, and with a big smile as if surprised greet a couple of the folks, and if someone calls you, saunter over, no rush, if they ask you ‘where you goin?’ call out a name of some place you could be going…for example…

“Where you going Tez?” “Going to see my girl…”

In short, you have something better to do than hang out here.

At school someone might say, “Say you at Rudy’s the other night…”

“Seems a good place…” you say.

Another time you and your girl just go there as if it is no biggie.

YOu need to look alert, lively, so being half dead kills the coolness and makes you look like a stoner.

As to car…no. You can bum a lift with someone who has
a car, and not having a car leaves you with options. For example
you network on a bus with other kids…(heard the best rumours
and ’secret’ information by eavesdropping)

Being entertaining is not altogether bad; what you have to add to it is brilliance. You’ve got to impress them with your brilliance. As you are considered entertaining being bright won’t threaten, just make them view you with respect.

You’ve got to read ahead in your work, really know stuff. You have to do a lot of research on the Net so that when you are with them you just know all the answers.

And you just say them in a bored way as if you assume everyone knew them; not snobby or anything. Just cool.

That is exactly right. You have sex with anyone, they write your name on the bathroom wall. (I once ran into the boy’s bathroom at my school, and saw lots of girls name there and their phone numbers and some real nasty stuff.

And then it gets all over the school. And everyone knows and then everyone came to look at this girl who was a Monica.
