Being "cool" is very important to teenagers. They are just starting to learn about relationships, and are trying out different things that they can use when they become adults. One of these things is their own personality or persona - how are they coming across to others? How do they act in different situations? What do other people think about them? When you grow up a little more, you will realize that being "cool" is not as important as staying true to your own beliefs and doing the right thing. It is always better to be kind, honest, fair, and open-minded than it is to do things just to be popular. However, here are some things you can do to be more cool and fit in better at school: * Talk the talk - use the slang that people in your area use. Listen to how the "cool" people talk and use the same expressions. * Look the part - if you can afford to buy the kinds of clothes the "cool" people wear, then you can wear the same sort of clothing - if you cannot afford it, don't sweat it because most people in the world are not rich and most people do have to save up money to buy things they want. * Hang out - "cool" people always have certain areas where they get together. Find out what area that is where you live and start hanging out there. In the end, being "cool" is more of a popularity contest. There are always going to be a small number of people who think they are better than everyone else, and they are going to be snobs and make fun of you for trying to be like them. Think about whether you really want to be super-popular - or if you just want to have a smaller group of real friends you can count on to stick by you and not run off after the next "cool" person who wins the popularity contest. Personally, I'd rather not have to spend all my time trying to fit into what everyone else wants me to be just so I can consider myself "cool."

Is it cool to be cool?

I think it is. I'm bisexual and I'm cool with it, though I haven't told my parents since I don't know how they will react. Note that you shouldn't turn bisexual just because your friends are or because it seems like the cool thing to do. I found out I was bisexual when I started becoming attracted to my friends, whom I thought was straight, but I asked her out anyways and she said yes.

How can you tell if a guy is trying to be cool?

You can always tell how a guy is trying to be cool.Example: One day you see a guy who is new in the school. He's alone. But not for long. Before you know it he's showing off in front of the "cool crowd" and really, is lying. He pretends that he likes skateboarding, like the "cool crowd," but he'd rather read a good novel instead. You ask him, "Why do you show off in front of those bullies?" he says, "I don't wanna be a loner." Really. That is what they are scared of. Not being popular.
