Often teenagers are not taken seriously. The reasons may lie in the peculiarities of their behavior or appearance. If you work on these aspects, you can grow up significantly in the eyes of others.
Instructions
Step 1
Build self-confidence. A confident person is associated with wisdom and great life experience. Work on yourself. Always praise yourself for your accomplishments, even the smallest ones. Unlearn negative perceptions, do not snatch only negative points out of context.
Step 2
However, remember that confidence is not equal to arrogance. It is common for children to laugh at the failures of others and to boast of their achievements. Deliberately humiliating others will make you appear weaker and dumber to others.
Step 3
Work on your speech, speak calmly and politely. Teens are usually associated with surging energies, noisy and impatient. Try to get rid of these traits, learn to listen to others and control your emotions.
Step 4
Give up childish egocentrism, complain less and do not talk about yourself incessantly. Mature people understand that nothing is just given. Constant nagging will show you are incompetent in solving problems.
Step 5
Work on your vocabulary, try to exclude parasitic words from it as much as possible. Also, keep teenage slang to a minimum. Read more good literature to improve your vocabulary.
Step 6
Learn self-control, although this skill is not easy even for an adult to acquire. In a conflict situation, excessive emotional reaction will give you away. Try next time just proudly distance yourself from the provocateurs.
Step 7
Pay attention to your posture, because the characteristic stoop will give you a notorious teenager. Very often, young people do not have time to accept the changes that are rapidly occurring in their bodies.
Step 8
Cut your hair - this applies not only to guys, but also to girls. Strict geometric haircuts make the fair sex more mature. Perfect for girls, for example, a square. A guy's unkempt hair will immediately betray his immaturity.
Step 9
Rid your wardrobe of baggy T-shirts and jeans for a more classic style. This does not mean that you need to dress to match the 40-year-old. But learn to emphasize the dignity of the figure, go to a calmer color scheme.
Step 10
Try to exclude cheap items from the market whenever possible. Instead of three bought there, it is better to have one, but of good quality. Wearing clothes purchased from the market will immediately betray you as a teenager.
Step 11
Guys should choose clothes by size; adult men rarely wear a shirt that slips off their shoulders. Girls are advised to avoid excessive frankness in clothes, because demonstrative vulgarity is associated with stupidity and immaturity.
Step 12
Guys can grow a beard if the hair is already tough enough. Otherwise, it is better to shave, as the fluff chaotically growing on your face will give you away.
Step 13
Girls should use makeup sparingly, avoiding blush and bright lip gloss. If you want to look older, you need to get used to soothing makeup tones. Be sure to mask imperfections on your face.
Step 14
Go in for sports. Systematic training will help get rid of baby plumpness and acquire a proportional figure. To do this, you can practice jogging and doing weight exercises.
