get a better reputation?

Question

Well im in 10th grade, and was new to my school last year. Everyone else knew eachother and everything from middle school, but i came from a private school to a public highschool. Last year i had a reputation of being a shy private school girl, but this year im trying to change that. Last year i was the calmest, most shy person in my group of friends. This year im deffinately not, ive introduced some of my friends to the new students at our school and things like that, but how do i change my rep. with the people that i already know? making a first impression is deffinately easier than changeing one.

any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The best way to change a reputation, is to ‘build a new one’!!!
It is a ‘time’ thing… People get to know how you are now, and it eventually overshadows what they may have thought about you in the past.

Be patient… Be yourself… Once people get to know you better, they’ll change their opinion of you !!!

Answer 2

The best thing to do is be yourself. Don't represent yourself as someone that you are not. When I first started High School I didn't know any one and turned into one of the most known and popular persons there. Talk to the people around you that you see all the time. Once people start knowing you then you just be yourself. Don't try to stick with one click of people then you will never be able to branch out to new people. Keep it open to different groups it will be easier that way. It will all come and you will have a great reputation.

Answer 3

Don't go overboard and be a new you all the way around. Just be a little MORE friendly, a little more outgoing and keep building on that.

Get involved in more activities where there is possibility for more interaction. If you are in band - do marching band - try colorguard, for example. Go out for a sport where you will be part of a team. Join different groups and GET INVOLVED with them. Offer ideas and be willing to have them shot down with resentment - it may take a while before people really start to listen to you. Just keep trying to be open and friendly and people will pick up on that.

Answer 4

Be yourself!!!.Why do you have to change?Shy and private will keep you from doing things that will remain with you for a long time.You have other friends and the new girls will like you the way you are or its their loss.Once you stop being yourself and doing things out of peer pressure it messes with your mind.College and a good career should be the most important now,your going to have a great life waiting for you if you are true to yourself.Good Luck Sweetie

Answer 5

Ah, having been there myself, the trick to this is time. Relax and be yourself and eventually everyone will forget how quiet and shy you were, they will know you for who you really are, as you already have friends who know the real you this will be a lot easier for you than it was for me! Just give it time and enjoy the look of shock on peoples faces when you're outgoing and fun in front of them :-D

Answer 6

You may have a perception of yourself that is different from what others think. From what you say, you seem to be a social butterfly. Don't try too hard to change your rep. You may do something foolish and embarrass yourself. Be yourself, obviously people like you!

Answer 7

Well i think you should join an after school activity. Like cheerleading or something that people will not think you would have joined. Good luck and i hope you can change your reputation.

Answer 8

Just act liek yuo do around them that you do with the people that you already know.

Answer 9

Just be yourself and people will catch on..
