Favorite Answer
1) DON’T let yourself feel intimidated by other people — Have self-confidence; put yourself above drama-creating people by AVOIDING their drama. How do you do this? It’s simple; just don’t let yourself care about what they do. Not reacting – not giving them the attention they crave – is the biggest insult.
2) Don’t talk about other people. Yes, that girl in the low cut shirt is trashy looking. As is that fake, tan girl. And what about that girl who’s staring you down? Resist the urge to acknowledge any of them, don’t whisper about them to your friend. Put on a confident smile – it’s the best way to deal with it.
3) Be the nice girl. Smile a lot, be kind to other. If someone hands you an insult, laugh it off. My favorite response is “Whatever, that’s cool.” It shows that you’re above their drama.
4) Finally, be happy with yourself and your friends. Constantly trying to climb the social hierarchy and become more popular is just not efficient. Focus on your school work and enjoy your friends.
