How to Change From a Bad Girl to a Good Girl

Last Updated: December 22, 2021

If you've ever felt like you want to stop being a 'bad girl,' but you fear your peers may keep holding you down from changing your stereotype, try some of these tips from this article.

Steps

1
Act like you were never a bad person at all. Throw away clothes that remind you of things you've done wrong, like that shirt you got dirty when you fell off the wall trying to break in to a friend's house. If anyone asks you or comments on something you regret, change the subject, or make a comment about how you really wish that it had never happened.
2
No swearing. This is a no-no if you're trying to change your rep. If you find this hard, like a lot of people do, look through some of the wikiHow article on the topic- they can really help with these ends of things.
3
Pay attention in class. You don't have to become a nerd, but pay attention in class and strive to do well in your studies. It sounds like a lot of extra work, but when you start looking for that college scholarship later on in life, you'll regret it if you don't have semi-good grades.
4
Become an optimist! Even if it really isn't you, always try to find at least one thing that's good or that could be worse about your situation. If you keep it up, it may become a habit.
5
Tone down that makeup. If you wear too much makeup or dress goth, stop. Gradually start wearing nicer clothes, and don't put on so much makeup and products. Choose lighter, happier colors, and you may end up with a changed stereotype just because of the way you look. It's stupid, but makeup really has an effect in today's world.

Warnings

Never give in to pressure to do something bad. If you give in once, they'll come back again and again.

Don't dress revealing- this gives everyone a wrong image if you're trying to be nice or "good".
