All depends what you mean by properly.....Eggs should be at room temperature, your bowl and whisk should be completely clean, any grease and they will not beat to a reasonable consistency, no yolk either, the fat in the yolk will cause the process to fail. After that, rapidly drive air into the mixture, either by hand or with an electrical appliance

There can be several causes for egg whites not rising. If you are trying to beat them to make meringue there are two or three things that make a difference. How cold they are, some residue oil in a bowl or on the beater, using a plastic bowl are some of the causes. Since we don't know what you are trying to do it is hard to answer this question.

Egg whites should always beat.

Try using an electric whisk.

If you are using and electric whisk try using less sugar.

Why it is important to use a particularly clean bowl when whisking egg whites to make a meringue?

Any bowl or utensil that is used when beating egg whites has to be perfectly clean and grease-free. When air is beaten into egg whites, the proteins of the egg white open up, which makes the whites form a semi-solid. If there are any lipids introduced into the egg whites they prevent the whites from forming a semi-solid state by surrounding the proteins of the egg whites and preventing the proteins from opening.
