If you've ever felt like you want to stop being a 'bad girl,' but you fear your peers may keep holding you down from changing your stereotype, try some of these tips from this article.

Steps
- Act like you were never a bad person at all. Throw away clothes that remind you of things you've done wrong, like that shirt you got dirty when you fell off the wall trying to break in to a friend's house. If anyone asks you or comments on something you regret, change the subject, or make a comment about how you really wish that it had never happened.
- No swearing. This is a no-no if you're trying to change your rep. If you find this hard, like a lot of people do, look through some of the wikiHow article on the topic- they can really help with these ends of things.
- You don't have to become a nerd, but pay attention in class and strive to do well in your studies. It sounds like a lot of extra work, but when you start looking for that college scholarship later on in life, you'll regret it if you don't have semi-good grades.
- Become an optimist! Even if it really isn't you, always try to find at least one thing that's good or that could be worse about your situation. If you keep it up, it may become a habit.
- Tone down that make up. If you wear too much make up or dress goth, stop. Gradually start wearing nicer clothes, and don't put on so much make up and products. Choose lighter, happier colors, and you may end up with a changed stereotype just because of the way you look. It's stupid, but make up really has an effect in today's world.
Tips
- Avoid losing friends, but don't keep the ones that encourage you to be "bad" and do wrong things. Make new friends that will help you on your quest to not be a bad person anymore.
- Remember to keep smiling, and act friendly and approachable. Bad girls act tough, and you shouldn't try for that picture.
- Be careful not to go back to the bad girl look style. It's always easier to be bad, but remember why you wanted to change in he first place, and hold that thought in your mind when you begin to doubt.
- Don't give up some of your best friends, even if they aren't the best influence Remember they were your friends before your change.
- Obey your parents because they know best.
- You don't completely change. Just be a little more friendly, and keep your sense of humor (if you have one) Just be you.
Warnings
- Never give in to pressure to do something bad. If you give in once, they'll come back again and again.
- You may be tempted to change because things don't seem the same, but remind yourself of the possible benefits in the future. How will being a good girl transform your life and your future?
- Don't dress revealing- this gives everyone a wrong image if you're trying to be nice or "good".
