How to Become a Dignified Young Lady

Be confident in your intelligence and sophistication. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Have excellent manners at all times! Read up on etiquette and never swear or be crude. Be very polite to everyone.

Stay healthy and fit: exercise, eat well, get enough sleep, be neat and organized, and keep yourself clean.

Keep a very stylish wardrobe. The clothing ideas listed below are for retro formal wear. Casual style is not included here because you should be original, creative, and unique! You could even make your own clothes.

Stay cultured and educated. The key is to read loads of books, both classic and new. Stay up to date on music, movies, books, plays, current events, and politics. Play an instrument or have another creative hobby. Love making and viewing art. Take part in meaningful and intelligent conversation.

Be respectful and helpful to your family, especially elders. Their wisdom can be invaluable.

Pay attention in school, even if it's boring. Grades do count!

Be friends with all nice people, regardless of differences. Classy ladies do not exclude or gossip.

Be quiet and agreeable, but confident and assertive. You are responsible for your own decisions. Keep that in mind!

Be kind to everyone in all circumstances. This, above all, is the mark of true dignity.
