"In terms of composure, try not to stare (it makes people uncomfortable), stand/sit up straight (it makes you look and feel more confident), smile generously, be polite and considerate, etc."
All these traits are the opposite of cool where I'm from!
Cool people have staring contests all the time, no one stands or sits up straight, no one ever smiles (it's cool not to care here), and the cool people always shove around the nerds.

Oh, and, "Nerdy Cool"? Wtf is that?!

"That" happens to be me. I have friends that I love and they will never let me down. I only have 5 real friends so I'm definitely not "popular". I do well in school and I don't care if I'm wearing the latest trendy $500 jeans from some place that will soon be considered "so last week". I, yes I, am nerdy cool. Not the traditional popular bitch that everyone wants to be like. Not that geek with no friends that only cares about getting straight A's. I am the nerd that knows who my real friends are and where I'm going with my life.

what the heck is with sondra C being on here? it's for youth. On the category page it distinctively says you have to be a youth to edit the categories.
And whatever you do, BE URSELF

No, it says that the articles in the category are all youth-orientated (this article isn't even *in* the youth category); encouraging young editors to contribute to them. There's no age discrimination :)

This is an article about how to be cool written by some dweeb. Half the advice sounds like they are giving tips on how to get a Job at Quiznos or something ("be sure and smile a lot"), and the crap about being interesting ("don't be afraid to dance once in awhile") isn't actually about being interesting, it is about doing stuff that is "different" just for the sake of being "different" so you can appear "cool." But this isn't cool at all, it is lame. Really anyone who is cool could care less about any of these bits of advice.

"be yourself" doesn't quite sum it up well enough. "be who you are" is the underlying key message behind the term. cool is just the amount of confidence exuded in someone who is content with who they are and know they in some way have sufficient qualities and attributes to appeal to people in various social scenes.(remember that these "scenes" of the popular kids are nothing more than strength in numbers;this also happens to be why their judgment of you being cool or not cool carries any weight) So in doing this, you start to embody a general sense of appeal, that you have something to offer. And just play the role. Nothing to lose, or at least nothing that they can take from you, and nothing to prove. just something to offer anyone who wants it(intangible).

I just talked to a friend that is going to the same summer acting class as I am, and she told me about some of the things that I had to do to fit in. After I got off the phone, I felt like I wasn't good enough and I really didn't want to embarass myself. I feel more self confident now that I read this article, THANKS!

Hey, my input would be that although you will be against it, drinking (socially not binjing) will help your social life and also clothing does matter because its a conversation starter and peoples first impression of you wear smart casual is always a good one. keep showering, brushing etc i know you think thats all shallow but wanting to be cool is shallow, being cool is awesome

This is a cool article... ;-) now i know what in the real sense cool is.... it's not being like a shit...
As far as the friend part is concerned... i guess that a friend should be charming...helps u when u need it...and has good nature...it dosen't matter if he is nerdy or not...what matter is his character....

To be cool, you have to pretend that you don't care about things even when you do. Being popular doesn't always mean being cool. And being cool isn't always all that, well, cool. People won't always think you're cool when you follow the "be yourself" advice, but the really awesome people you meet in your life will. It is way more cool in my books to be yourself--whether that's nerdy cool, geeky, or the most popular person in school--than to be "cool". That way you won't wake up one day and realize that no one knows who you really are and you truly are alone, even if you're surrounded by fake friends. That way you'll know that your friends are your real friends--people who think you're awesome because they know all the awesome stuff about YOU (not who you're trying to be), people who think you're awesome even though (and sometimes because) they know all the stuff about you that you think is "uncool," which is sometimes some of the coolest stuff.

All I ever needed to do in school to be "cool" (or known and liked by most people) was be myself: overly happy, hyperactive and funny. Most people in my school love that, but there is the scattered grump who hates my disposition and me. x)
This is a great article. Not only does it tell you how to be liked by others, it also tells you how to be liked by yourself. Having a good posture, smiling, and all of the things mentioned here are good for your personal health.
There are so many resources to other articles in here. A lot of effort went into building this wiki.
Lovely article overall.

Nah, it's not about being moral - being cool is about not trying to be cool. Which paradoxically means the less you care about being cool the cooler you are.

1. Your article is not about how to be cool. It't about how to be perfect. Your article, summed up, is basically: "Don't have any faults, and if you do have one, don't let it worry you"
Also, what the hell is not cool about premarital sex?

okay. numbers 1 & 2 totally contradict themselves lol.
so you're saying we shouldnt care what people say about us, and yet still be cautious of what they are going to say?just dumb. this is just teaching us how to be shallow people desperate to fit in...like every other teenager on the planet. sorry, but this isnt going to help anyone. atleast you tried i guess.

Well, cool to me is dressing with the most popular clothes. Wearing suspenders in the morning and pink on Fridays will always make people like you. They like people that dress outside of the box. They love for you to stare at them for long periods of time. It makes them think that they can be your friend, if you want them to.
Take it from me -- be cool! :)
The coolest kid EVER! Duh!

I think that this point should also be added that a cool person is not a very serious person. We should avoid seriousness in many events. And try to add funny attitude in our life.

my question is, to all you people who say you're "cool". If you're so cool why are you reading a WIKIHOW article on how to be cool? I'd say if anything, you're the ones that have the problem.

"195.154.108.128 said:If I read the word 'cool' one more time I will definitely lose it!" this is true....
I started a new school last week and although I didn't read the article then, I figured out most of these tips for myself. At my old school, I was kinda considered a dork. But once I did some of the stuff listed in the article, everyone was suddenly coming up to my table at lunch and all the guys started hitting on me. Even my guy friend noticed. I've done some modeling, and sitting up straight and smiling a lot definitely helps. I have to practice this stuff in order for it to become natural. I'm gifted, in other words a certifiable nerd, and most of the people in my gifted class are part of the most 'popular crowd'. There is a nerdy cool.
This article totally helped! I also loved the clothes at Abercrombie! I am one of the most popular at my school!
