Question

What makes a person cool?

Answer

Being quotcoolquot is really an expression of teens. Usually being thought of as quotcoolquot has to do with being excepted by the quotinquot crowd at highschool. The quotinquot crowd at highschool really are not cool at all. They are usually self absorbed, selfish and mean spirited kids, who enjoy making other kids feel like outsiders andor make fun of them and in general make them feel terriable. The quotcoolquot kids are cruel to others. Sadly, these are usually also some of the kids from quotwealthierquot families. They have the ability to wear the most current styles of clothing and shoes, afford the best makeup and assesseries to make themselves most attractive. That is another aspect of the teenage quotcoolquot kids. They are those who others think most quotattractivequot. Sadly, these kids are usually spoiled and get special attention due to parental wealth paving the way, smoothing things out with the school and local authorities.brbrSadly, society in general puts too much stock on looks. Womem and girls get more positive attention when they are more attractive. How attractive they are is not even something they did themselves, but rather a gift of birth, good genetics, or a quotgiftquot from God, however one choses to look at it. I put gift into parenthesis as being born with good looks can be a negitive aspect in a persons life. When you are treated a certain way due to something you had no controll in attaining, it can and often does result in shallow individuals who use their looks to quotsucceedquot in life. Because it works so well they fail to develope the deeper levels of integrity, honor, empathy for others, and a real concern for others as well. brbrNow, this is not always the case, sometimes a person with good looks does develope these things. But they are the exceptions not the norm. brbrLooks fade over time, and unless the parents are so wealthy the kids have lifetime trust funds, eventually they have to pull their own weight. When looks go, often these so called quotcoolquot people dont know how to cope without those looks, as they have not developed other skills in getting their needs met other than using looks.brbrSo, dont worry about being quotcoolquot. Especially as you are only a teen for seven years, but an adult for . What you learn now, how you chose to develope your social skills will effect those adult years significally. brbrIn my opinion a cool person is somebody who is true to theirselves, makes up their own mind about what life means to them, and learns to live with honor and integrety. brbrA person without honor has nothing at all. All you have really is your name. What you attach to it will follow were ever you go in life. brbrSo, be quotcoolquot by just being a decent, honorable person, who cares about others and the issues going on in the world and does their best to make a differance, even if it is just by assisting an elderly person pick up something they dropped.brbrGood luck on your journey in finding your own identity and your quotcoolnessquot.
