Be a Cool, Stylish, and Beautiful 12 Year Old Girl

Cool people are more likely to get popular, especially in school. Ever wanted to be the coolest, prettiest girl in your sixth or seventh-grade class? If so, this is the how-to for you!

Steps

  1. Shower daily. Use a nice smelling body wash, and be sure to wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner for your hair type every other day, or every day if you have oily hair. Use a deep conditioner once a week or every other day, and maybe a leave-in detangler if your hair is really knotty.
  2. Use deodorant. Find a nice scent you like, such as vanilla or strawberry, and use it every day. Deodorant is important so you don't smell like sweat. Some good brands are Dove, Degree, and Lady Speed Stick.
  3. Moisturize! Match the scent of your lotion to your body wash so you don't have too many different smells.
  4. Shave. Shave your legs and armpits, and if you have dark hair, possibly your forearms. If you're comfortable, shave your bikini line, but it's not a necessity, as no one will see down there. Don't start shaving anywhere because someone else thinks you should. Lots of 12-year-old girls do not have unsightly body hair. Many girls can be cool, stylish and beautiful without shaving. Only shave if you want to.
  5. Wear nice clothes. Make sure they fit properly- nothing too short or low cut, nothing too baggy or ill-fitting. Your pants should fit snugly, if they don't, wear a belt. Nothing is less attractive than yanking at your pants or rolling them up.
  6. Wash your face. Wash it with a nice face wash (not an acne wash unless you have acne) wash twice a day, then use toner, face lotion, and any acne treatments or special creams you wish. Do not skip this step!
  7. Don't wear too much makeup. There is no need for heavy foundations, blushes, or eyeshadows. If you really think you need it, some BB cream or concealer, some lip balm / gloss, and a touch of mascara will do it. You also might consider plucking your eyebrow or curling your eyelashes. Don't put on any make-up just because this article says you should. Only wear makeup if you want to; avoid doing it just because of peer pressure or to fit in and "look cool".
  8. Eat healthy and go to bed on time. Go to bed early enough that you can get up on time in the morning without feeling too tired.
  9. Be nice. Be nice to everyone, especially your enemies or the people no one seems to talk to. Have close friends that you genuinely like and feel comfortable around and be close with them: entrust them with your secrets and invite them to sleepovers and parties.
  10. Don't feel like you have to have a boyfriend. Although lots of girls this age have them, it's not really "dating". You normally just hold hands a little bit and maybe go see a movie or two. In extreme cases, they might kiss but don't let this pressure you!
  11. Be nice to your parents and siblings. After all, they love you!

Tips

  • You may or may not have your period. Whether you do or not, start carrying around a "Girl Kit" with things like tampons, pads, and extra underwear, just in case. Also, don't be afraid to talk to your mom or older sister and ask questions.
  • Try to drink as much water as you can. Aim for eight glasses a day.
  • Be sure to buy oil-free makeup so you don't break out.
  • Study hard and get good grades in school.
  • Work out about once a week, but don't overexert yourself. Working out at this age is about being fit, not losing weight.
  • If you have oily hair or skin, try showering in the morning instead of at night, and be sure to change your pillowcase at least once a week.
  • Always wear clean clothes. Consider doing your own laundry if you don't like the idea of your mom pawing through your delicates.
  • If you have Facebook, Twitter, and the like, be responsible with it.
  • Try asking for an allowance from your parents in exchange for extra chores around the house, or maybe get a job babysitting.
  • Try your hardest not to gossip.
  • Don't do something because your friends are doing it. Do what you want to.
  • Just be yourself. It doesn't matter what other think of you. You're already beautiful and perfect just the way you are.
  • Make sure that your clothes match. Skinny jeans really attract attention in school. Earings draw out a glowing look in your face.
  • Don't be a mean person.
  • Shower every day but you don't need wash your hair every time you shower.
  • Don't try to look older than you already are. Be yourself.
  • Don't swear, as this could lead you to come across as rude or mean.

Warnings

  • Never ditch your old friends because they "aren't cool enough."
  • Be careful not to over pluck your eyebrows.
  • Never skip breakfast.
  • If you curl your eyelashes, do so before putting on mascara.
  • Always test new skin products to make sure you aren't allergic to them.
