How to Be a Good 12 Year Old

Do homework to the best of your ability and hand it in on time. This will help you in learning new and important things.

Revise before assessments, especially in subject you are not so good at. In order to get good grades, you will have to pass exams, and it can really help to revise a few days before the test. Ask family members and friends to quiz you on things.

Take notes in class and ask questions if you are stuck. Contributing to the class is also great, as you can teach others new things!

Wear the correct uniform. If your school doesn't have one, wear suitable clothes (such as jeans, t-shirt and sneakers). When you wear makeup make sure you aren't wearing it to "fix" yourself- instead try to wear it for fun. You're perfect without makeup but experimenting with it can be really fun.

Follow the school rules. They are there for a reason.

Have a variety of clothes.

• For everyone, a good selection would be casual dresses, formal dresses, jackets, leggings, t-shirts, tights, jeans, flats, heels, boots and trainers.

Choose footwear wisely. Smart shoes should be kept for school and special occasions, and for daily activities casual shoes should be worn.

Dress according to the weather. In winter you will need a coat, and in summer you will probably want to wear light, loose clothing.

Travel to school with friends (if possible). This age is when you could start traveling to school is a good start.
