Vampires have been very popular for a few years. Twilight paved the way for the vampire era, and teenagers all over the world have fallen in love with how so… perfect vampires are! Do you want to be a vampire… or just make your friends think they are? Read here!
Steps
Step 1. This should preferably be done after a weekend, vacation or school break
Even if you only have one day off, that's okay.
Step 2. First, the transformation into a vampire is quite slow, so start acting like a vampire little by little
A few things to do: stop fiddling with things you find, like pencils or strands of hair, don't blink as often (but blink anyway, don't ruin your eyes! Blink slowly, at least 5-10 seconds apart), you give the impression that you are not breathing (but still breathe! If you force yourself not to breathe, it would be bad for your health!), and stare at people! But don't be creepy, just stare for 5-10 seconds maximum - just stare intently. When you "transform", you pretend to have "violent headaches" or "toothache". This will serve to add effect.
Step 3. After about a week of "transformation", you are finally a vampire
Congratulations! Okay, so now let's move on to food. Eat a big breakfast, but don't eat much for lunch… maybe a salad or a snack. If you really can't be satisfied with having a light lunch, then at least try to have lunch in a secluded place, if it is allowed in your school.
Step 4. Carry a metal thermos with you at all times
Drink the contents often. Act as if you want to hide what you are drinking ("blood"), and if someone asks you questions, just say "Oh, it's nothing special." Also, when you drink, let out a deep sigh, as if you are feeling regenerated.
Step 5. If someone invites you to stop and sleep at their house, answer something like:
"I can't, I have a commitment, but I can stay out until sunset". Vampires are generally known to be more active after dark. It is not mandatory, but it serves to add effect.
Step 6. Don't be too sociable
Make sure you have few (but good) friends and keep them close. Stay close to them and, in dangerous situations, defend them.
Step 7. As for the music, stick to the classical, Mozart, Beethoven etc
Or you can opt for rock bands like Evanescence, Metallica, etc. It mostly depends on your tastes.
Step 8. NEVER complain of cold, heat or fatigue
Vampires don't get tired! Try to avoid the light. Go for the kind of modern vampire that can come out in daylight, not the old-fashioned vampires who turn to ashes under the sun. In broad daylight, wear large dark sunglasses. If there is really a lot of sun, pretend the light is bothering you and move to the shade. If you're in class, sitting by a window in bright sunlight, put on a sweatshirt, but make sure you're not too hot. Outdoors, on the other hand, try to stay in the shade.
Step 9. If someone approaches you, step aside, hold your breath and clench your fists
Then, take a sip from your thermos. If they ask you something, just say you were a little nervous and thirsty.
Step 10. As for clothing, you can wear anything
Dark, punk, emo, casual, elegant: it's all up to you !! Put on some natural makeup and cover up pimples, blackheads, cuts or bruises, etc. with corrector or other. Remember that vampires heal quickly!
Step 11. Get vampire teeth if you want
But not the fake ones you get for a few pennies at the pharmacy, they have to be realistic and look real. Search on Google!
Step 12. Keep a journal of your vampire life, of your constant struggle to keep the secret
If anyone finds it, they might believe it.
Advice

- If asked what your favorite color is, answer "blood red" or just "red".

- This article does not suggest pretending to be a vampire in front of your parents.
- If someone invites you to go out in the light of day, accept, but go to the appointment only in the dark of the evening.
- Move with a lot of grace.
- Bright red lipsticks and black makeup can be very effective, but don't overdo it!

Warnings
