Act the part by investing in clothing that makes you feel like a grown-up. Trade in your band shirts for collared button downs, go for a nice blazer instead of a denim jacket, and invest in a nice pair of shoes.  Go shopping with an adult and ask for their opinion on your selections. Look for clothing that is high quality and well made. Fast fashion, or trendy styles may look good at the moment, but it's a smarter move to invest in pieces that will last you longer than a few weeks.  Put some effort into your appearance by doing your hair, making sure your clothes are clean, and putting cologne or perfume on. Messy living spaces can make you feel like you are living in a college dorm room, or a kid’s room. Clean up the sink full of dirty dishes or the piles of laundry lying around your room or apartment. Reduce clutter by re-organizing your space to be more functional. Focus on presenting a clean, organized living space. Look at How to Organize Your Room and How to Clean Your House for tips and tricks for keeping your space clean. A mentor is someone who gives help and advice to a less experienced person. A good mentor will help you build your self-confidence and self-worth. They will teach you new skills or help you improve the skills you already have, and act as a role model or someone you can look up to.  Reach out to your guidance counselor at school, or to your community leaders. You can also look for a mentor in a family member or a close family friend. Look at programs like the Boys and Girls Club, which connects young people to role models and mentors in their community. This could be cooking, driving, or even crocheting. Focus on building your self-confidence by learning more about a skill or activity that interests you.  Obtaining your driver's license is a big step to becoming more responsible and independent. You no longer have to depend on someone else, such as your parents, to drive you around or adhere to someone else’s schedule when you need to get to a date or an important meeting.  Even if you decide not to get a car, having your license means you always have the option of renting a car for a trip or driving someone else’s car as their designated driver after a night out. Getting better at cooking is a great way to gain more independence and become more confident as a person.  Start small and tackle small dishes like a sandwich for lunch or a stir fry for dinner. Look online at simple recipes that take under 30 minutes to prepare. Offer to cook for your parents one night, or for a friend to show off your new skills. The more you practice cooking, the more confident you will become in the kitchen. This is a big one, but most adults have their finances under control and in order.  Set up a meeting with a financial advisor to discuss smart ways to invest your money. Create a budget, broken down by month. Focus on putting as much money as possible into your savings account. This money could go to other very adult things like a car, a home, or a big trip.  Avoid splurging on clothing or other unnecessary items. This will show the adults in your life that you are serious about being responsible for how and when you spend your money. Taking control of your finances will also benefit you as a person and give you more self-confidence in the company of other adults.

One-sentence summary -- Dress like an adult. Keep your living area clean and tidy. Find a mentor. Learn a new skill. Take control of your finances.
