Summarize this article in one sentence.
The best way to be preppy is to be happy with your life and yourself. You are under NO obligation to look a certain way or go out with certain people. Staying true to yourself will help you to make friends who like you for you, not for your clothes or popularity. You have the right to express your gender and sexuality in whichever way you wish. You do not have to be 'refined' or 'feminine' in any way, and vice versa. Do not let yourself form negative connotations with these words. If being 'refined' and 'feminine' make you happy, be happy. Be nice! Some middle schools' preps are mean, and that is not the real preppy attitude. Preps should be nice, not snobby. Be bubbly, flirty, outgoing, sporty, feminine and energetic. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/6f\/Be-Preppy-%28in-Middle-School%29-Step-9Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Be-Preppy-%28in-Middle-School%29-Step-9Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/6f\/Be-Preppy-%28in-Middle-School%29-Step-9Bullet1.jpg\/aid1132199-v4-728px-Be-Preppy-%28in-Middle-School%29-Step-9Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

<\/p><\/div>"} Never leave the house without your makeup done, no matter what. Also, always keep your hair nice and neat. Always have straight A's. For a true prep, a B is never acceptable. Use proper grammar and punctuation. Prepare for the SAT, even in middle school. Aim to get into an Ivy League college, home of the preps. Or Stanford. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/ff\/Be-Preppy-%28in-Middle-School%29-Step-12.jpg\/v4-460px-Be-Preppy-%28in-Middle-School%29-Step-12.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/ff\/Be-Preppy-%28in-Middle-School%29-Step-12.jpg\/aid1132199-v4-728px-Be-Preppy-%28in-Middle-School%29-Step-12.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>
