Get Along With People and Be Nice
Being a polite, considerate and friendly person will get you far in life, as well as a good reputation. With these steps, it should be easier

Steps
- Think of a person that you find really nice and has a nice nature. What qualities do they have to be like that? It could be anything from politeness to being supportive. Make a list,even.
- Look what you came up with. Here are some examples: they are polite, considerate, a good friend, generous, kind and caring.
- How many of these qualities do you think you have? Here's how you too, could change they way you relate and communicate with those around you for the better.
- Be polite. This includes swearing at all (at least,not in front of anybody or very mild and not that serious). When you get angry, count to ten and take a deep breath. Think about what could happen if you said what was on your mind at that time. Chances are, not something very good. If someone is rude to you,instead of getting in a scrap about it then just say something casual and light,like "Yeah,well,that's your opinion" and if they call you a name, "And anyway, your wrong because I'm not what you say I am. But I'm not going to bother getting into a fight with you". Much more mature then screaming your head off! Tell someone if the person really upsets you, though. Keep your cool. Be nice to those around you, and respect everyone else.
- When it comes to consideration, remember peoples feelings. How would you feel if someone was about to laugh at you, if you were just about to do that to someone else? Think of other people as well as yourself in situations like this.
- Being a good friend is vital when you want to appear as a nice character. Be with your true mates, who are ones that would never bully, laugh and hurt you. Support a mate when they have a problem and listen, make an effort in friendships, talk to them regularly, and just be what you would expect to find in a friend. Remember, be a good friend and you will receive good friends in return!
- Generosity is something that we should all have among our other good qualities. Make a card or give a present to somebody when it is their birthday or Christmas, and learn to share.
- Always be kind!It really isn't difficult just to be friendly, polite and nice. Anything from holding open the door to someone or giving a smile could make anyone's day!
- Caring for others shows how nice you really are. Offer to help and be especially nice to someone when they are ill. How about making a cup of tea or hot chocolate for a family member when they're poorly? And you could just quickly ask a friend who wasn't at school to see how they are. Even if its something very small, it makes a difference to how someones feeling, which is great!
- Now hopefully you have shown the world how nice and friendly you really are, you'll be getting along with everyone much better.
Tips
- Be yourself.
- A couple of friends treating you badly? Making new pals or spending more time with other mates can help loads!
- Behave at school. Don't mess about,do your homework as soon as you get home and have it in on time and work hard. After all, getting top marks, good grades and being seen as a happy, committed and hard working student that gets rewards will make you shine like a star!
- Arrange to have a sleepover or something with a friend, as this shows you really appreciate them and would like to see them.
- Offer to lay or clear the table.Your parents will be pleasantly surprised and will think you are really helpful.
- Be comforting when someone is sad or upset.
- If you respect everyone else, you will earn respect too.
- Rise above behaviour intended to make you feel bad. A good idea is to go somewhere like your room and do something you enjoy to make you feel better again.
- Complimenting people is a nice way of being kind so compliment people wherever you can.
- Be positive, rather than glum and sad when it is possible.
- Don't give into any negative comments just be kind and you'll be sure to automatically attract others who would like to be around you so don't worry being kind takes a little time and you'll be fine.
Warnings
- Don't let people walk all over you. Stick up for yourself, but not aggressively.
- Don't act overly nice. It may seem like you are sucking up people's affections and you could be suspected as a fake friend.
