Be a Socialite Teen

Are you always looking at Star magazine, gazing at pictures of Paris, Lindsay, Nicole or any other Hollywood it-girl, always wanting to be like them? Have you ever wondered what makes other people so easily popular and loved by everyone? Socialites or "celebutantes" know how to manipulate the current and handle the social scene. Find out what you need to do if you want to do the same!

Steps

Getting the socialite look

  1. Get the wardrobe. Each socialite has their own different look. Paris and Kim have Barbie doll looks, Lindsay has a punk, skater, girly look, Ashlee also has a look, Jessica has an urban prep look, Nicole has a very trendy look, and Mary-Kate and Ashley have homeless people looks. Britney has the messed-up look and the glamorous look like Paris.
    • Wear nice and classy clothes. Don't ditch your style, but think about whether or not a mature and "looked up to" young adult would be seen wearing it. Think of someone successful that you know, college-age, even someone you saw walking to the subway station in NY, whatever! Get that 'idol' for your wardrobe and go for it!
  2. Get the hair. If you don't like your hair color, then dye it a natural normal color. Many paparazzi princesses have platinum blonde locks; Paris, Lindsay, Mary-Kate, Ashley, and sometimes Nicole and Ashlee. Cut it and style it or get extensions, most of these Princesses have extensions.
  3. Get your make. First of all the tan. This isn't needed for the Ashlee, Ashley and Mary-Kate look, but for the Paris, Lindsay, Nicole, Kim, Britney and Jessica look, this is needed. Paris, Kim and Nicole do spray-on; even though Kim and Nicole don't need fake tans since they're naturally tan; Lindsay and Britney do the cocktail, which is bed and mystic or bed and spray on. Jessica does the spray-on also.
  4. Accessorize! Oversize sunglasses are a must, they don't always have to be the Jackie O or Dior Glossy style, they can be oversize aviators or oversize shields.

Keeping fit and healthy

  1. Stay clean cut and have good hygiene. Shower and take good care of your body.
  2. Eat Healthy. A responsible young adult and/or socialite is not unhealthy. Obesity is a major concern and confidence fails from it too. Take charge now!

Showing responsibility to your parents

  1. Be responsible. The 'reward' of being a responsible young adult, is simply to go out and have fun. Since you are under 21, try an under 21 dance club, a nice lounge-restaurant that allows younger people, a beach road trip, a free weekend with the girls, spa time, hair done, a night off of life...etc.
    • Once parents feel like you are responsible in all that you do, they will trust you. They have to! What have you done to make them suspicious?
  2. Get good grades. Not only will it help your future, but you will gain confidence and feel better about yourself knowing that you took good care of your grades and classes.

Getting the socialite attitude

  1. Don't be a loner. You need your friends to let the good times roll.
  2. Get confidence! Everyone knows that a shy and timid person is always overlooked in a crowd. So stand up tall and talk with a smart and secure attitude. Don't cross your arms. Don't talk down to people. Speak only when you must and always have your cell nearby to text or even pretend you are texting.
  3. Stay busy. 'Play hard-to-get'. You should make everyone feel as though they are around a celeb (you) and they should feel privileged. It works like a charm every time.
  4. Be mature and stand up for what you believe in. Don't pick fights and act younger than your age. Always think of a high-profile, SUCCESSFUL celebrity, like Reese Witherspoon for example, and think to yourself, 'Would Reese say that? Would Reese do something like that?' It will help your image and adults will grow to like you more too.

Being a socialite

  1. Get many at least two different social network sites, like Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Blogger, Flickr, even Facebook! Let people know on each one of these which ones you have.
    • Make your Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter pages public. If you like your privacy, then have two accounts for each. Make sure you're organized.
    • Make sure to take lots of pictures and post them in your photo gallery. Make sure to label them carefully and by event/date. For example: Torrie's Bash Mark 2015.
  2. Get friends, friends and more friends. Don't be too picky because then you know that someone is free everyday/night. Call/text them, face book them, IM, Myspace, whatever. Just don't act like you have nothing to do.
  3. Engage in activities that mature young adults do. No, that is not drinking and having 'sleepovers' at your boyfriends house! Try things like walking on the beach talking about your future and college, shopping at nice stores, going to fancy restaurants with friends (even if you can only afford tapas and drinks!), read books, watch quality TV and stay up to date with current events, save money, be responsible, act very mature in everything that you do. And you will be rewarded! :)
  4. Stay in touch with friends. Talk to both girls and boys with the same air. Crushes are hard but you can handle it maturely!
  5. Only say nice things to people, build them up, make them feel good- and they will want to be around you all the time! Be a good friend!
  6. Know how to manipulate situations and people to get what you need and Get What You Want. Not in the bad manipulative way though.
  7. Have a hot car, a cute Cabriolet convertible, a sexy SUV or a super hot Roadster. This will show that you have good taste in cars.

Tips

  • Use 'I've got plans' or being busy as a way to get out of parties and bad situations. That way people do not think you believe that they are making bad decisions and being stupid. People act weird when they know you think you are better than they are!
  • Shop in nice stores, but remember the 'What would Reese (or whomever) wear/do?' thing. Dress your age, but classy and mature as well.
  • Shop somewhere that you know adults shop at and get some core items to blend with your younger teenage style.
  • Wear heels whenever possible! They give confidence and have an air of instant fun.
  • Set an example.
  • As a socialite you have to be social. The biggest thing is that you have to spend as much time with other people your age as possible and be well-known. Don't spend all your time in your own little bubble.
  • Have fun! Be a fun person to be around. Suggest things like mini golf, arcade, laser tag etc to do with your friends. The mall is better during the less crowded day anyway.
  • Don't slump, you'll get a hump.

Warnings

  • As a teen, you may not have as many opportunities to get out and about- just live with it. Don't let it get to you!
  • Don't be annoying and pushy.
  • Remember that school comes first!
  • Don't act stupid to get attention.
  • You may get your feelings hurt, but learn to not care as long as you are having fun for the moment!
  • Don't 'dumb' yourself down just to get more friends!
  • Many people do not like socialite girls, because the stereotype is really dramatic. Don't be that way!
  • Be yourself. Don't change if you don't want to.
  • Don't be trouble or get into trouble. Your parents trust you.
  • Do not make people think you are needy, weak, or depressed if you are positive than people will unconsciously want to be around you.
  • Parents feel that 'social' teens tend to be more of a handful- defy that stereotype!
  • If you do get Bebo or Myspace etc, and you're under 16; make your profile private if you can.
  • Drugs and alcohol ruin complexions, figures and relationships.
