Would you like to be treated with more respect by your peers? At your age it can be difficult, but there are ways you can improve your reputation so people will start to see you as a role model. Behave smart, be confident, and avoid pestering others are all great ways to be appreciated by those around you. Read on to learn how to get more respected in school.
Steps
Step 1. Be smart and wise
It is virtually impossible for a closed-minded person to succeed in earning the respect of others.
Step 2. Don't be disrespectful to others and their belongings
As the golden rule says, treat others the way you would like to be treated. By reading the following steps you will understand what to do.
Step 3. Don't bother others
Being the clown of the class will not make others respect you. In fact, these types of people are often criticized and / or gossiped about, so don't be like that.
Step 4. Participate actively in the classroom
By participating you let your voice be heard by everyone. Of course, almost everyone would think it's easy, but what matters is having the right answer. Consequently, don't raise your hand without thinking; getting noticed and not knowing what to answer is pretty embarrassing.
Step 5. Don't ask questions in front of the rest of the class unless necessary
Instead, write down what you want to ask and approach the teacher at the end of the lesson to clear up any doubts. If you have a question that is intelligent, logical or difficult to understand for your classmates, go ahead, ask in front of everyone, but don't be argued.
Step 6. Help others when they need it
Don't make them feel weak.
Step 7. Be kind
Nobody likes people full of themselves, especially if they always behave this way. If you want to brag about something, don't do it for long and speak nonchalantly.
Step 8. Learn to speak at the right time
Not many students know how to do this, so learn to make yourself heard if you are too quiet or often say boring things. To find out what to say, watch the news, read interesting articles on the internet or buy magazines like Focus, to learn more about scientific and technological innovations. No gossip newspapers!
Step 9. Accept comments kindly
Once others understand that you are smart, they will likely compliment you. Learn to respond by congratulating yourself. If you have nothing to say, try “Thank you very much” or speak modestly about the efforts you have made to get to this point.
Step 10. Do not attack or offend others (verbally, physically, etc.)
). Try to be mature when someone attacks or insults you. Don't give it weight; if you can, ignore him or respond in a way that disarms him, this will annoy him more because he will expect you to fight back. Forget if it's not worth arguing, don't lower yourself to his level.
Step 11. Some bullies may bother you, but you will need to be strong to deal with them
It is normal that someone will criticize you; if these are unfounded comments, don't take them too seriously unless they start to affect your mental health.
Step 12. Do your best to be extraordinary and get noticed
You need to figure out how to stand out among your classmates and do your best to stand out.
Step 13. Don't ask your peers what grade they got if they try to hide it
Insisting would be pushy and rude, and won't make you look good. If they're the ones telling you, that's okay. Do they ask you about your vote? It's up to you whether to share it or not. Either way, talking about your grades with your best friends is absolutely fine.
Step 14. Think Before You Act
Consider how others will react to your actions. Try to have common sense.
Step 15. Sometimes you just need to trust your instincts to figure out how to do it right in order to get respected
Step 16. Show your superiority
If a person offends or insults you, behave in a mature way and handle the situation correctly. Do not attack yourself, to make yourself respected you should demonstrate an attitude of an adult.
Step 17. Don't interfere
If two comrades are talking about their own business, do not intervene by asking indiscreet questions. It's annoying!
Step 18. Be open to new ideas
You must be the kind of person who is considered reliable and able to listen.
Step 19. Try to have a firm and assertive tone of voice
You don't have to shout, just give the impression that you are confident as you speak. Nobody will respect you if you have a shy little voice.
Advice
- Don't go out of your way to put the spotlight on yourself. By doing it right, the spotlight will find you.
- You don't have to follow all the steps in this article to the letter. Use common sense to apply these concepts to your school and community. For example, you should be nice to everyone, but if there are bullies bothering you all the time, do something about it.
- Try to be smarter than others. If a person is trying to make you angry, keep calm. This will further irritate her. Better behave wisely.
- Try not to be a know-it-all. There are many behaviors that can lead people to label you as such: public bragging about your intelligence, telling others that you are inferior, talking about topics you know little or nothing, arguing with the teacher about every detail of the lesson, making comments apparently intelligent but off-topic and so on (saccenza can be seen in many contexts). Trust your instincts and common sense and you will avoid getting sucked into arrogance.
- Exercise if you can, being muscular will make you look stronger, although actually being strong is better than just having defined muscles.
- If you get involved in a fight, you may want to have a smattering of martial arts. Lifting weights in the gym to develop your strength is another key factor in making yourself stand out, but don't be the brawler in the situation.
Warnings
- Inappropriate actions and behaviors (getting in trouble, getting suspended, etc.) are bad for your reputation, so avoid them at all costs.
- The situation will not change overnight, take it one step at a time.
- Not everyone will respect you, the important thing is that you feel good about yourself and that you are appreciated by the people you care about.
- Remember that to be respected you must first respect others.
- When you start getting respected by your schoolmates, don't start flaunting, or your reputation will suffer.
