This is going to sound cheesy, but the best way is just by being you. People that like you and want to be around you is because of who you are not what you can do or what drama you have. Not all attention is good. A lot of people confuse negative attention with good attention because they are so starved for it. If you want to be recognized, go out and do positive things. Volunteer in the community, participates in local sports, be helpful to your parents and friends or perhaps find a talent in something you enjoy (ie: art or music).
As far as attention from boys go, sure flirting is fine. But not overly so. You don't need to dress revealing to snag a boys attention either. Being casual and funny can go a lot farther with guys than a tube top and a skimpy miniskirt.
If you are able to become comfortable in your own skin, people will see that and want to be around you and love you for you.

Wanting attention and affection is perfectly normal. What kind of attention do you want? Is it the way you look? Is it the way you act? Regardless of what it is there are some things you must always remember:
Be yourself. Compromising who you are will only lead to sadness for you.
You earn attention. By doing things that improve your life and the lives of others will bring you attention that is earned and not simpley "gotten."
Act with integrity. Always be honest in your dealings. By treating everyone fairly and with honesty you'll earn attention.
Be happy and enjoy all you do!

It is not wrong to want it but it is not exactly good if you crave it and try your best to get it all the time. Everyone needs attention sometimes-it shows that others care for you, but on a continual basis can only do harm to you- to your mental health.
The best way to get it?-hmm Be nice to people, do things for them that you know they will like, be generous and interest them. But all in moderation. But remember that you cannot have everyone's attention all of the time because their lives do not revolve around you. People have their own issues to deal with and stuff.
Have a nice life

It's definately not wrong to need attention. As for where and who to get it from, that's where it gets a little more difficult. You don't want to become so desperate for attention that you attract the wrong kind (i.e.: people who just sleep around). Just let people know how you're feeling and everything should work out.

The best way to get love and attention is to GIVE love and pay attention to others,
Then it comes as a natural by-product without seeking it.

everyone wants to love and be loved. it is a basic human need. the best place to get it is from those who care for you most. Mom and dad and family. other than that you must be careful. you do not know the intentions of all people. give and receive love from those who you trust and from those who do not give love with strings attached. some guys will only love you if you go so far in the relationship. run from these morons. That is love that is based on what they get and not what they give. True love is to give to someone else. Choose carefully and make sure you do not give your heart over to someone that has not fully earned it!

It's only wrong when it becomes destructive or causes you more problems in your life. If you really want attention go to visit some people who have no one in their lives at all and are very lonely (usually old people in nursing homes or who live alone), they will give you plenty of attention.

If all you want is attention. Look under the "Spoiled Brat" department. But if you want real Friends. You're gonna have to throw out that Me-Me-Me stuff. Let respect be your thoughts. You act spoiled. You're gonna be very sorry!

Hi.
Just be true to yourself.
Be good,think good,do good,feel good and make a good job of caring.
When that sort of personality naturally radiates outwards, people will gravitate towards you.
People can spot someone trying too hard from a mile off,so be natural.
Just be you.
