Is it ok to not be considered cool at school?
This is such a good question – and yes, it's completely okay to not be seen as “cool” at school.
The truth is, being “cool” means different things to different people, and what seems cool in school doesn’t always stay important later on.
What really matters is being kind, genuine, and doing what makes you feel good about yourself.
👉 The people who matter will like you for who you are
👉 Some of the kindest, most interesting people don’t try to fit in – and those are often the people others look up to the most in the long run
Try focusing on your hobbies and spending time with people who make you feel happy and understood – that’s the real kind of cool.
So please don’t stress if you feel a bit outside the “cool” crowd – the right people will love you just as you are 💫
