Lay in wait for your classmates. When they walk past, ambush them and steal their backpacks. Take your loot and bury it in an appropriate place in your yard, then cobble together a map measuring paces from obvious landmarks so you'll remember where it's at. Gather a crew, making sure they are all missing something, be it limbs, teeth, ears, etc. Those with scarring (provided it is sufficiently intimidating) can be accepted in liu of those with actual missing pieces. Say 'argh!' and 'Avast, me hearties!' at regular intervals, as well as altering all of your speech patterns to fit the piratical ideal. Savvy? ;)

1. You must be bitten by a real pirate. Not like Jack Sparrow or not a kid dressed up for All Hallows Eve who is pissed off because all you give him are laffy taffy and toothbrushes. 2. If this does not work out, change your name to Wesley, date a woman named Buttercup, run off to sea and become adopted by the Dread Pirate Roberts. 3. If the 2 above don't work for you. Sorry.

Greedy, murderous and cunning. Nothing romantic about it all. Pirates kill people and steal their stuff. If you are truly asking and not just playing dress up. Modern pirates kill people every year. They don't use swords and parrots, they use guns and radios. And yes, pirates do exist these days. I hope you will never meet them, because you will probably be raped. Sorry for the reality check. I romanticize the pirate thing, but the reality sucks. I sorta checked into that career myself, hehe. I doubt they follow a code, only greed and lust.

Well you're not going to become one by watching Pirates of the Carribean! It's not glamourous and it's not fun and hillarious like they make it out to be. Read stories about real pirates and find out how they lived. You might become a modern day pirate by applying their way of life to modern day by becoming an internet pirate or something.

I think real pirates go around stealing things, and I wouldn't recommend that. But, you could certainly drink lots of rum (if you are old enough and not about to drive anywhere), be somewhat rude (within reason), and speak like a pirate...all of these things would greatly help establish your persona. Have fun!

One can only become a pirate in their hearts, as real pirates no longer exsist. Expecially if you dont plan on stealing and plundering. The site listed below is helpful in teaching you to talk pirate.

If you want to become a REAL pirate go to Somalia and get in with the wrong crowd.
They now drive high speed boats and carry lots of guns and hijack cruise ships off the coast of Africa - as long as you're tough and down for that lifestyle i'm sure they'd let you in...haha

Steal stuff. That's what pirtates use to be along time ago, they would rob boats.. They were like the robbers and thieves of the sea. Swear a lot and drink also, that might help. Good luck on your pirate transformation! =)

1) You adopt the Pirates code of course.
ARTICLE 1: Every Man has a Vote in Affairs of the Moment; has equal title to the fresh Provisions, or Strong Liquors, at any Time seized, and use of them at Pleasure, unless a Scarcity make it necessary, for the good of all, to Vote a Retrenchment.
ARTICLE 2: Every man shall obey civil command; the captain shall have one full share and a half in all prizes. the Quartermaster, Carpenter, Boatswain, and Gunner shall have one share and quarter.
ARTICLE 3: If any man shall offer to run away, or keep any secret from the Company, he shall be marroon'd with one bottle of powder, one bottle of Water, one small Arm, and shot.
ARTICLE 4: If any Man shall steal any Thing in the Company, or game, to the value of a piece of Eight, he shall be Marroon'd or shot.
ARTICLE 5: If at any Time we should meet with another Marrooner (that is, Pirate) that man shall sign his Articles without Consent of our Company, shall suffer such Punishment as the Captain and Company shall think fit.
ARTICLE 6: That man that shall strike another, whilst these Articles are in force, shall receive Moses's Law (that is 40 Stripes lacking one) on the bare Back.
ARTICLE 7: That Man that shall snap his Arms, or smoke Tobacco in the Hold, without cap to his Pipe, or carry a candle lighted without lantern, shall suffer the same Punishment as in the former Article.
ARTICLE 8: That Man that shall not keep his Arms clean, fit for an Engagement, or neglect his Business, shall be cut off from his Share, and suffer such other Punishment as the Captain and Company shall think fit.
ARTICLE 9: If any man shall lose a joint in time of Engagement, he shall have 400 Pieces of Eight: if a limb, 800.
ARTICLE 10: If at any time you meet with a prudent Woman, that Man that offers to meddle with her, without her Consent, shall suffer Death.
2) Sign the code and go to sea on a Pirate ship.
Anything else and you are not a real Pirate but just pretending.
