Tired of being invisible in your school?
Wanna be like the "cool kids" who get all the attention and fun they want but noone even knows your name?
Want your opinion to carry some weight, get access to the school stacies, and conquer the school hierarchy?
Dw nigga, I gotcha
I am presenting a pretty much bulletproof guide for becoming part of the cool kids clique, proven to work by my very own personal experience
When I started first grade, I immediately decided that I was now an adult and hence should act accordingly - in a very serious manner. Obviously, in reality I was just a retard, but my serious approach to everything, arrogance, excellent grades, mimicry of adult mannerisms, and usage of speech structures that were rather complex for my age quickly led to me becoming that guy no one wants to talk to. At the same time, I thought that everyone around me was a stupid little shit and I was the only correct and mature one.
In 6th grade, I got my first smartphone, and when I was added to the class WhatsApp group, the first thing I decided to do, without even properly establishing contact with anyone yet, was to move the entire class to Discord. I justified it by saying that Discord was more convenient and multifunctional, when in reality it was just an excuse for me to consolidate the power of the group admin role in my own hands. I launched an insanely aggressive propaganda campaign and constantly stirred up conflicts with those who opposed me. Despite this, the idea predictably flopped, since normies had zero incentive to learn a more cluttered interface, and on top of that my authority was extremely low. So, after my defeat and crash-out, that authority dropped even further.
Over the next year or two, I spent my time in constant debates with my classmates over absolutely any topic (using all punctuation marks and following every grammar rule, by the way), fully convinced of my own rightness, and attempting various revolutions in the class group, constantly pushing some idiotic, dumb initiatives that few people supported. On top of it all, I constantly associated myself with cool anime characters like Levi Ackerman or Akashi Seijuro and mimicked their cold communication style, constantly bringing up how much better I was compared to others. Eventually, though, I calmed down, and everyone just stopped giving a fuck about me.
Through anime and computer games, I started regularly talking to some guys in our class, and we formed something akin to a friend group, although back then I was a very low-T nigga and, as a result, often became the target of mockery within the group. The only technique that worked was when I appealed to their empathy and, with a serious face, stated that it wasn't funny anymore and that they should fuck off. Over time, however, I managed to earn enough respect for the bullying to stop. I achieved this by constantly proposing initiatives — shitty, but intriguing — like an esports team or a server for some game. This way, I naturally became the leader for the time period of the implementation of such initiatives, which raised my status in my friends' eyes.
Around the end of 8th grade, we became old enough to interact with the older grades, and a new world opened up to us — parties, vapes, trendy clothes, alcohol, relationships, scandals, rumors — all the cool shit of high school. Constant discussions regarding all this intrigued me too, and under that influence, I began mimicking more socially adjusted guys. I bought a Carhartt t-shirt (at that time in Russia it was considered a cool, trendy zoomer brand), started going to the school bathrooms to chat about some bullshit, constantly followed my more popular friends from that group of guys in my class, and hung out after school at the smoking spot, even though I didn't smoke myself, just standing and listening. This way, I gradually began accumulating acquaintances among the school's elite. I even hosted a sleepover at my big place for some of them, which earned me some respect, and overall, my face simply became more recognizable at school because I was constantly cozying up to the cool crowds. Gradually, they started perceiving me as one of their own, even if not a leader. All this without drinking, smoking, or making TikToks — I was afraid for my privacy, and overall I didn't lead a particularly cool lifestyle outside of school.
Through interacting with the cool guys, my social skills were becoming more and more calibrated. I began to understand how and what they think, how they form their thoughts, and started adopting their mannerisms, going to malls to hang out with popular dudes. In this rather passive way, through mimicry, by 9th-10th grade I'd built up enough confidence to interact with the rest of the cool kids basically as an equal, and I'd finally put together a stylish enough wardrobe with some personal style. Walking down the school hallway, virtually all the relatively well-known guys in school would dap me up. Around that time, I also realized that this lifestyle wasn't really to my liking — just repeating what others do. Since then, through deep reflection, I arrived at a hybrid version: I don't suck up to anyone, I only do what I want. I've built up the confidence and skills to stand up for myself, I've become more nonchalant, I assembled a friend group of people I'm genuinely interested in and now I mostly I spend time with them — but this friend group is pretty much the kings of the school, so I haven't really lost anything. I'm quite respected in school, and now, in my final year, I'm essentially at the top of the food chain. All the cool guys in my grade, as well as the younger kids, know me. Some even suck up to me the same way I once did. Interesting fact — I managed to never start smoking.
To sum it up, I got into the cool kid clique through my more socially adapted friends and then just tagged along with them, creating the impression that I'm also part of their world, since I'm constantly with them and discuss their topics. This method is what the guide will be about, just on a larger scale.

The Guide
Alright, so your goal is to become part of that community in school commonly referred to as "the cool kids".
In this guide I assume that, at the moment, you're either at the bottom or in the middle of the school hierarchy, and barely any people really know you.
Think about whether you actually need this.
Here are the main pros and cons of the cool kid lifestyle:
Pros:
Here are the main pros and cons of the cool kid lifestyle:
Pros:
- Respect and high status in school
- Preselection, access to higher-ranking girls
- Constant content and events in your life
- Lots of friends and acquaintances
- Peak youthful spirit, loads of impressions and memories
- You constantly have to conform to unspoken social norms and maintain your status
- You'll often have to interact with people you find completely uninteresting and on topics you don't care about
- At times, you'll likely have to go against your own moral code, especially if you're well-raised
- Constant events, hardly any time to rest
- Distraction from potentially more important things and goals
- To some extent, moral decay
Teenagers are highly sensitive to attributes that define your affiliation with a particular social group. To start your journey and demonstrate that you're one of them cool kids too, you need a set of attributes:
Once you've ticked off these 7 points, you're already halfway there.
1. Appearance. Far from all cool kids are chads. In fact, barely any are. The main thing is not to look gross/unhealthy. Fix your health indicators. Fix your skin, get a trendy haircut. Even if you're a LTN, you can still have some aura to your appearance, it more depends on your clothes and the way you carry yourself. If you're fat, either lose weight or play into it, create an image of a "big guy" type, like The Notorious B.I.G. type shi.
2. Clothes. A black hoodie with an anime print and slim cargo pants will make you a fucking laughing stock at any school, so either dress like a nigga from O-Block (sagged skinny jeans, Jordans, that shi) or in a less radical but related style like streetwear or skate. You can dress in a more sophisticated manner (like those clean fits from Pinterest), but it's best to dress exactly the way the cool kids dress — so, most often, streetwear. A great start would be: Jordans 4s/11s/Nike Dunks, baggy jeans, a baggy white tee, some kind of chain. If you want to go all-in, you can invest in designer clothes, even if they're fake. Aside from the usual luxury brands (LV, Gucci, Balmain, Maison Margiela, etc.), luxury-streetwear brands (FOG Essentials, Vetements, Balenciaga, Denim Tears) and especially rapper brands (Cactus Jack, Sp5der, etc.) are popular and respected. Even regular Nike will do. If you currently dress like a lame, I advise transitioning to the new style gradually, so you don't create yet another reason for mockery like "wtf, look, this lame ass nigga thinks he's the shit".
3. Music. This one's simple and straightforward. Most of the time, it's mainstream rap: Travis, Tecca, Kanye, Yeat, Carti, Kendrick, Drake, and so on. The music is, no joke, pretty great, but if it's not your cup of tea, I advise at least familiarizing yourself with it and knowing the most mainstream tracks and names to give the impression that you're in the know. After all, no one's going to check what you actually listen to.
4. Passtime. It'll be much easier to blend into the cool crowd if you smoke, drink, and are willing to go to parties. I managed without ever starting to smoke, but it definitely creates a certain initial barrier between you and the cool zoomers.
5. Hobbies. Nerdy or niche hobbies are an instant no-go. You need the most default hobbies for teenagers, i.e., sports — preferably football, basketball, American football, boxing, or at least just the gym.
6. Mindset. Don't be the guy who is CONSTANTLY trying to say something funny — it looks pathetic. Don't be the one who brings up philosophical or deep topics — save that for truly close friends. For cool kids, that stuff will be confusing at best, off-putting at worst. Don't be the one constantly pussying out of doing things — lower your inhib and do what looks like fun. Obviously, you need to think before you act, but if there are no realistically serious consequences to the action and it doesn't go too hard against your moral code — do it and enjoy it, instead of constantly trying to overthink and plan out every possible outcome.
By the way, regarding your moral code — if you're a moralist with a rigid and extensive list of dos and don'ts, you'll have to make a choice between staying true to your code and becoming a cool kid. Cool kids can't stand moralists who judge every action like a strict mom and often ruin the fun because of it.
7. Mannerisms. Look up, not at the floor. Speak at a more measured pace, don't stutter, use clear language structures, don't overcomplicate things, use slang, don't be afraid to take up space. In short, show in every way that you're a normal, socially adapted teenager. The worst thing you can do is show your insecurity through body language or speech (i.e. constantly apologizing). Know your worth. Trust me, if you act a little more boldly, you'll be more likely to earn respect.
Once you've ticked off these 7 points, you're already halfway there.
Now that all the conditions are met, you can begin the ascent.
If you already have a friend or an acquaintance who belongs to the school elite, you basically have a fast track to the top. Just skip straight to chapter 2.
If you don't have such a friend, find one. In virtually any group of cool kids, there's at least one guy who's kinder, more sociable, and open to new acquaintances — and someone with whom you might share a hobby, like playing Fortnite, a musical instrument, basketball — anything. Since you've removed all the visual attributes of a loser and now appear socially calibrated, a guy like that won't have any particular bias against you. Get to know him based on a shared hobby. If you have no shared hobbies, simply show interest in his hobby, say you want to get into it. If you don't even want to bother with that, just strike up a conversation about superficial bullshit and try to casually demonstrate that you share a similar outlook on things. Talk to him calmly and as an equal, don't suck up too obviously, and remember that your clothes and overall image already do the work by creating the impression that you, too, are not a lame.

Develop your relationship with this dude. He's your key to the world of the cool kids. Don't try to insert yourself into his friend group too early. First, he needs to start trusting you. You don't have to become best friends, but he should be consistently reminded that you exist. Discuss random shit, do your hobby together, send him TikToks — whatever it takes to build a certain level of friendship between you.
Now that he trusts you enough, you can start the infiltration. Maybe he'll invite you to one of the cool kid hangouts himself. If not, tell him you want to go to one, ask him to introduce you to his dudes. If you're at least on friendly terms, he has no reason to refuse.
So, you're entering his group for the first time. Don't try to immediately draw attention to yourself, don't immediately go for the girls. Just calmly get to know everyone and create the impression that you're from the same world, using your learned mannerisms and shared interests. The fact that you're friends with one of them will be a decent support, but you won't be accepted as one of their own right away. Just be a chill guy and dont act all serious, joke, talk about surface-level topics, smoke together, and sooner or later they'll start trusting you. Remember names and events, bring them up when relevant, because involvement in the local lore is also a bonding factor. At first, you'll come to their hangouts as the friend of their friend, but gradually you'll become their friend too, and that's when you can call yourself a fully-fledged member of the cool kid crew.
Expand your network of acquaintances. Hang out with the cool kids more often, get to know the friends of your newly acquired friends, participate in common activities, always be down for whatever. If you have some awesome idea or place, you're now respected enough to initiate. You'll likely already be getting invited to things. From here on out, your popularity and new connections will be carried simply by your status as a member of the cool kid clique.
As you can see, the main difficulty lies in Step 0, where you are required to larp as much as possible and put on the costume of someone you've never been, and from there it's a breeze.
