   Express yourself! Be who you want to be and don't be afraid to show off your true self! Just make sure you don't come off as overly weird or strange in any way; don't be too loud either. People don't like those who don't know how to be quiet sometimes.

2. 2

   Love being you. You can't expect people to look up to you and adore you if you don't love yourself. Treat yourself like a goddess and always give yourself the best; however, know when to stop. If you act as though you are above everyone else, you can come across as a narcissistic person and nobody wants that.

3. 3

   Have a fun and unique vibe! Make sure that you are unpredictable but make it subtle. This will attract a lot of attention from everyone and make people want to know you better.

4. 4

   Wear gorgeous clothes. This is absolutely crucial. You need to dress in a very stylish way - just like a model off vogue magazine or the Chanel runway. Try to wear as much designer brands as you can. Save the designers such as Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci for when you're a little older, because this may lead to people thinking that your clothes are knockoffs.

   • If you can't afford these brands, try going to high end high street shops and find clothes that are reasonably priced but look very couture. If you still can't afford these brands, go to places that have nice clothing that is in style and your style. You can also find some cool clothes second hand, which jot only will be cheaper, but also more unique.

   Go all out on designer bags and jewelry. Tiffany and Co, Links of London, Wright and Teague, Pandora; anything that suits you! Remember, diamonds are a girls best friend! Try choosing finer jewelry rather than cheap $20 necklaces from Forever 21 or £10 necklaces from Topshop. As for bags, the best brands are Fendi, Ferragamo, Michael Kors, Yves Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton. However, try to be as subtle as possible.

   • Ensure that you grow a fairly large fine jewelry collection and get a nice display case for it to protect it from any damage. Keep away from *shudder* cubic zirconia! If you're not all for the big purses, get a purse that is still a good brand but downsize them, get one that is smaller than the totes or the big fancy purses.
   • Go for quality over quantity. Rather than buying loads of cheap jewelry, buy a few pieces of high quality jewelry which will last.

   Don't be afraid to wear makeup! For most days, wear it natural but if it's a special event, wear something very elaborate and stunning. Make sure you get the best make up brands because, after all, the It Girl deserves the best of the best (plus they are better for your skin compared to those cheap make-up brands). Take care of your skin before applying make-up. Depending on how sensitive your skin is will also depend on how much make-up you are able to apply (before and after effects).

   • If you are awful at doing make up, hire a professional make up artist instead. If you can't afford a professional, practice doing your make up and look up good tutorials on YouTube so you can get really good at it.
7. 7

   Get out and about and be a social butterfly! Hang around everyone one and make plans with them. Make sure that everyone knows who you are and you know who everyone is. You don't need to start picking members for your clique just yet though.

8. 8

   Read magazines. Teen Vogue, Vogue, InStyle, Red and Grazia will give you hints, if you're not quite sure what's in style and what's not. Dont follow them too religiously, you can take inspiration from them, but add a personal touch too.

9. 9

   Don't be afraid to ask people out! However, don't be too easy and throw yourself at them. Make them run after you, begging for a little more of you. Whatever happens, just make sure you are not too forward! Those are the kind of people you keep well away from. Play hard to get and tease the people that you like (again, make sure you watch out for the limitations).

10. 10

    Get good grades! If you don't already, work harder! You have to feel good about your intellect. Just don't go overboard. Getting good grades is definitely key because people know you know your stuff, teachers and other students appreciate it when a student knows what she needs to know and more.

11. 11

    Be nice, but not that nice. It's okay to stand up for yourself! It puts people in their place! Do not let bullies make you feel bad.

12. 12

    Create your own clique. This must consist of 2-4 other girls, excluding yourself. You must be the leader of the clique, and you may choose 2-4 of the following to be in your group: The Sweetheart, The Party Animal, The Prep, The Shy Girl, The Athletic One, The Fashion Obsessed One or The Quirky Kitsch One.

    • Make sure that all of the people in your clique are pretty, intelligent and are faithful and nice to one another. These are your "best friends forever" whom you rule the school together with. These are the girls who always know what's up with you before anyone else. Make sure that no scrapes or wannabees get in though.
13. 13

    Eat healthy! Have a very healthy routine and try to get yourself into many sports in and around school. Never starve yourself.
