So you want to be a saint… Every bitch arrives to a point in her life where you just want to be nice to everyone. If you don’t agree to the previous sentence you can just stop reading. But if you do, then we’ll help you change your ways so can be Miss Congeniality.

Stay away from gossip. Gossip is one of the most sinful things in the world. They’re just too juicy to ignore. But the truth is, gossip is a one way ticket to hell. You have to know when to stop talking about another person. It’s just not right. Besides, how would you feel if people around you say nasty things at your back? Knowing something bad about someone leads you into developing bad thoughts and suspicion about that particular person. So just stay away from gossip. Everyone has issues anyway.

Don’t compare yourself to others. Everyone is beautiful in their own way so comparing yourself to others isn’t really meaningful. You might be prettier than your seatmate but she’s way smarter than you. You might think your bestfriend is fat but at least she’s not insecure like you. So just be happy you’re gorgeous. And stop there.

Don’t criticize everything. Someone said that a critic is the worst person. Unless it’s your job, criticizing everything makes you look bad. It seems that nothing is ever good enough for you and that makes you hard to please. Nice people are highly appreciative so start appreciating the effort of other people.

Don’t be stingy with compliments. If someone you know made a good work, then express your commendation. People who work hard need the support of those who are willing to give it. If your usually depressing classmate shows up in school with a new haircut that totally makes her pretty then tell her. She’ll appreciate that someone noticed.

Lastly, stop doing the bitchy things you used to do. Your best guide to un-bitch is to remember the one rule that has been golden ever since: “Don’t do things to others, if you don’t want it done to you.”
