This is key to have people respecting you more. A confident attitude is about standing up straight, holding your head up and striding around in a manly way around school. Walk like it everyday and soon you'll feel more confident and you'll see that people will think of you with more respect, too. . This is the golden rule to be popular. You have to be yourself or people might avoid you. If the person you're trying to be friends with doesn't want to be friends with you, then it's their loss, not yours. Don't let anybody change you. If he/she doesn't like you for who you are, then move on to a different person. Nobody likes a liar and if you do lie then it's going to catch up to you in life. The truth might be embarrassing. " It's so easy to be popular. All you have to do is say hi to everybody in your school or compliment others if you want to. Saying hi definitely breaks the ice. You can also compliment others, by saying things like: "Hey dude, nice shoes. Are you a skater dude or something?" He most likely will respond back - if he doesn't then find somebody else. Same goes with complimenting girls; don't say something like: "Hey, I love your hair." Or "I really like your shirt today." Treat her like a Guy. Say similar things. If she doesn't respond then move on. There are tons of boys and girls who like you. You just have to find the right people. During your conversations with people, try to find things you have in common. This will make your friendship last for a long time. Don't agree on everything; you're going to have one thing you like that he/she doesn't or something that he/she likes that you don't. Sit together at lunch so that you and your friend can know each other better. Join Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or YouTube. You're going to find at least somebody from school, so add him/her as friends and you'll get to know each other online.

Summary: Look confident. Be yourself Don't lie. Say, "Hi. Start conversations. Invite people to lunch. Join social media websites. Repeat the early steps until you have at least half the school as your friends. Read the tips and warnings, and good luck!

You should know your bird's body language before attempting to trim its claws. If your bird does not feel comfortable with you, you should wait until you've bonded with it a bit before trimming its claws. The experience will be more traumatic if your bird doesn't trust you. If your bird sings, talks, or whistles in your presence, this is a sign it is comfortable with you. If your bird flaps its wings in your presence, this is also a good sign. Your bird is attempting to get your attention and is happy to see you. Your parrot may also wag its tail, much like a dog, to convey happiness. Your bird may squirm or show signs of distress during the clipping process. Therefore, have your materials ready to go before you begin clipping your bird's nails. You do not want to have to be scrambling for anything while you work. You will need a pair of nail clippers. You can usually use nail clippers made for people as long as the blade is strong enough. If your parrot has particularly tough nails, try toenail clippers. You will need some kind of blood stopping powder in the event your bird starts bleeding. You can find this at a pet store. Make sure the powder is safe to use on birds. You will need a towel. Make sure it's a plain color, like white, as birds may be frightened of colorful towels. Do not immediately wrap your bird in the towel. This will cause too much anxiety. Instead, allow your bird to get accustomed to the towel on its own. Lay the towel down on your hand. Coax the bird to crawl on the towel. Call it softly and say things like, "Good bird" as it approaches the towel. Let the bird stand on the towel for a few minutes. You want it to be comfortable with the towel before proceeding. You need to do this carefully to avoid injuring the bird. You do not want to put pressure on the bird's chest as you wrap it in the towel. Drape the towel over the bird's back. Leave its head uncovered. Hold the bird at its sides without touching its chest. Wrap the towel around the bird's body. Hold the bird's head with your other hand. This will prevent it from biting. Place your thumb on one side of the head, and your index finger on the other. Hold the bird firmly enough that it cannot turn its head. Have a friend help, if necessary. You may not be able to trim your bird's nails on your own. Your friend can wrap the bird in the towel while you trim its nails.

Summary: Make sure your parrot has bonded with you. Gather all your materials ahead of time. Get your bird used to the towel. Wrap the bird in the towel.
