Too cool for school

You’ve always wanted to be popular in school. You’ve dreamt a thousand times what it would be like to be the

star of your school’s football team or that tall blonde girl who everyone

fancies.

‘Cool’ people are attractive, confident and always wear stylish outfits.

Everyone wants to hang out with them. But often “cool” people aren’t very nice!

They can be selfish and bossy. At times they get impatient with people who

might be shy or a bit quiet.

If you really want to make some true friends, here are some tips. Don’t

choose friends based on looks. What really matters in a friend is not being

slim and beautiful but reliable and generous. Choose friends who are humorous,

talkative and who never treat others badly. In fact, these are the people who

are truly cool! Don’t get obsessed with the number of your friends. Try to

choose friends that you can actually benefit from. Those who are creative and

have interests other than fashion and parties.

Be flexible but don’t say or do things that make you feel uncomfortable

just to make ‘cool’ people like you. Always speak your mind. Those who really

care for you will still be your friends – even if at times you drive them

crazy. Remember: real friends are those you can open up to. Those who will hold

their tongue and will never give away your secrets.

Take a minute and think. What really matters? Making friends that count

or counting friends?
