Stick to your principles. You should have a code of conduct that you adhere to at all times. Don't stay out too late, don't go crazy, and always be polite.

Have a hobby, such as a sport or an instrument. This will help to make you a more interesting and talented person. Having a passion is very attractive to others. It shows that you are not lazy; you strive to improve yourself, and you are diligent.

Help small children and elders of all ages. The benefits of your help notwithstanding, from a personal standpoint it is very illuminating to help others, and to develop your sense of compassion for all kinds of people. Volunteer work and charity are eye-opening ways to understand people, gain skills, and help make a difference.

Pay attention to the way you talk. Try to enunciate your vowels and consonants; do not use slang or swear. Try to avoid shortening words, and using words that you clearly do not know the meaning of. Pause and think for a split second before opening your mouth, and do not speak too slowly.

Be polite. Your social skills are of vital importance towards becoming a charming proper young lady. Greet people with a smile, firm (confident) handshake, or kiss depending on what is appropriate for the situation. If you are in the wrong, apologize, and if someone has wronged you, accept their apology. Keep up the correspondence you have with people, RSVP to events on time, reply to letters or emails you receive if it called for it. Do not date for the sake of it, and do not flaunt your exploits for the world to see. Do not lower your moral standards for others. Be strong in who you are. Ask people how they are, and give them the chance to talk about themselves. People love talking about themselves. Listen to what others say, even if you aren't remotely interested. You are going to have to learn how to pay attention. Learning to manipulate a conversation is very important, but once you've learnt the skill, you will be saved from many boring/awkward conversations. Please and thank you are incredibly important, and are being more and more forgotten in this world. Stay away from talking about politics, religion, and money, and you should be fine.

Respect yourself, so that others can and will respect you.
