My suggestion is to stay out of the sun. You'll destroy your skin.

You need to put sunscreen on first (Contrary to popular believe, it blocks out *harmful* rays. It will not prevent you from tanning). Coat yourself thoroughly like you're going to be fried up in a pan with tanning oil (The darker the better).
Go out and find some sun. Now, if it's a cloudy day, go tan then. The clouds act as a blanket, and will bounce the UV rays around MUCh faster and MUCH more concentrated than on a sunny day, when they can bounce back out into space.

Go to a pool, or an area that has water that can reflect-- That way you get twice as much sun, but make sure you don't get burned, just taned. By the way-- It's best to get sun in the morning, by the time it's noon, it's already going down... GOOD LUCK! LuvCarly

My dear, you probably are already tanned and just don't realize it if you were in the sun that long and didn't get any darker. It's sort of like an anorexic person who weighs 25 pounds but still sees a fat person in the mirror. It's possible you could be tanorexic. Be careful, because this can be very dangerous.

be happy with yourself. being confident is better than having a stupid tan. I'm one of those people who have a tan because of their ethnicity(I'm NOT african american) and I always wish I had fairer skin. but if you're really that desperate I guess you can buy one of those tanning lotions or go sit in the sun forever and risk getting skin cancer.
