If you are a girl, but at the same time you enjoy doing what young people usually do or you are more attracted to men's clothes, then most likely you and the people around you consider you a kid. Unfortunately, there is no universal recipe for how to become a tomboy, as every girl is unique. However, if you find yourself spending more time with boys or preferring to do what they like, changing your wardrobe and new activities can help you find friends who will accept you for who you are.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Dress Like a Kid

1. 1 Wear loose tees and shirts. Go for plain tees with cool prints that don't flatter your femininity. In addition, the selected T-shirts must have a straight cut. Wear loose-fitting T-shirts with your favorite band's logo or similar. Also, have a shirt with a collar and rolled up sleeves in your wardrobe. A shirt, whichever style you choose, should definitely be tried on before you buy to make sure it is comfortable for you.
   • Give preference to plain shirts. Top up your wardrobe with a shirt in black, navy, brown, red and green. Plus, camouflage shirts will help you look like many boys.
   • You can also choose a pair of plain trousers and a brightly colored outer garment, or vice versa.
   • Some girls prefer to dress in men's clothing stores. However, you can wear women's clothing and still be a tomboy. Your clothing should be loose and athletic.
2. 2 Choose straight-leg trousers with pockets and belt loops. Women's trousers tend to fit tightly around the thighs and taper towards the ankle, emphasizing the slimness of the figure.They can also have trick pockets. Instead, opt for cotton tweed trousers or jeans, which are characterized by a widening of the bottom of the legs, starting from the knee with deep pockets. You can also wear sweatpants if you feel comfortable in them.
   • Tuck the jeans underneath if they're too long or if you want to show off some cool shoes. In such clothes, your figure will be more like the physique of a boy.
   • When it gets warm outside, wear beach shorts or boxy shorts with lots of pockets. Don't be afraid of vibrant colors and patterns. Make sure the shorts you choose match your personal style, though!
3. 3 Avoid ballet flats, sandals, and high-heeled shoes. Wear slip-ons or sneakers, boots or classic men's shoes. Choose shoes in solid colors with neutral prints, such as striped or checkerboard patterns. This will make you look more masculine. Don't wear shoes that show off your femininity, such as shiny floral shoes. You can also skip wearing socks.
   • Visit online stores that offer menswear and small footwear for girls.
4. 4 Find matching accessories such as cufflinks, ties, and hats. Cufflinks and ties are great accessories to help you achieve the kid look you want. This is a great option for girls who like to wear button-down shirts. Shop for accessories featuring your favorite TV shows, animals, or movies. This will help you highlight your personality. Wear beanies or dark hats with straight and flat brims.
5. 5 Keep your hair simple. You may want to have a haircut, shaggy or hedgehog haircut. If you are not ready to say goodbye to long hair, collect it in a ponytail or bun. Avoid elaborate hairstyles, braids, hairpins and a variety of styling products. You should look simple. Get help from a professional stylist if you want to change your look.
6. 6 Don't put on makeup or use nail polish. Of course, you can still use concealer to hide imperfections on your face. Also, there is nothing wrong with shaping your eyebrows. However, remember, the main principle of the image of a tomboy is simplicity. Ask the salesperson at the makeup store to find the right beauty products for you that match your skin tone and hair color.

Method 2 of 3: Find Interesting Activities

1. 1 Try new sports. You don't have to be an athlete if you want to be a kid! If you've never played a sport before, start with soccer or kickball. Once you're comfortable on the field, you can try American football and Frisbee. These are fun sports games.
   • Find out about the sports clubs in your area. Ask your friends about this.
   • You can also visit a youth recreation center, if available in your area, to learn more about sports clubs and teams.
2. 2 Play video games. Video games are considered a fairly common male occupation. However, you may also like this activity! If you've never played before, ask your friends where to start. If you already play video games, join online forums where video games are discussed. If you need to buy a console, ask the seller to help you choose the right one.
   • Great games to start with are MarioKart and Minecraft. Classic arcade games like Galaga and Frogger are fun too!
   • When you feel more confident, you can move on to the more complex video games The Legend of Zelda and Dark Souls. There is a wide variety of video games. Choose the ones that are of interest to you.
3. 3 Spend more time outdoors. Go hiking. Go rock climbing. Thanks to this, you will become strong, like many guys. You may also find that you are interested in fishing or hunting. However, remember that some activities are potentially dangerous. Therefore, do them under the supervision of a person who has extensive experience in this.
4. 4 Joke like a kid. You may want to learn how to make fun of people, as young people do. Learn to react to jokes correctly. Learn to laugh at yourself. And remember that your jokes should not be rude or hurt anyone's feelings.
   • Of course, you shouldn't laugh if you are not funny. Ignore jokes that insult people of a particular gender, race, religion, or other identity.
   • Avoid school scandals. Don't gossip.

Method 3 of 3: Make Friends Like a Kid

1. 1 Attend events that interest you. If you are old enough and addicted to sports games, visit sports bars. Also, attend outdoor events. Such events include an exhibition of cars and releases of new computer games. If you want to meet someone, walk up to that person and talk about the event that is taking place.
   • You should not attend events that you are not interested in. If the topic of cars isn't yours at all, don't force yourself to go to a car dealership. It will be difficult for you to discuss a topic that is not interesting to you.
2. 2 Develop your own way of speaking. Of course, it will be easier for you to make friends with guys if you talk like them. However, do not completely copy their manner of speaking. Your communication should show that you are one of them; if a young person has a nickname, refer to him, not by name, but by calling a nickname. Discuss what you both like.
3. 3 Remain calm and confident. Don't be discouraged if you get dirty or lose the game. Instead, stay calm and friendly. Don't be afraid to voice your opinion.
   • If someone mistreats you, don't be afraid to defend yourself. To stop bullying, be prepared to fight back the bully using their own methods. However, don't be overly cruel. Otherwise, you may lose friends.
4. 4 Be who you want to be. There is nothing wrong with being a shy kid; you don't have to be an extrovert to have many friends. If you don’t want to do what others are doing, don’t do it.
5. 5 Surround yourself with people who treat you well. Good friends are honest people who are willing to provide the support you need. If someone hurts you, instead of being a source of joy for you, you can say, "I don't think we should be friends." You know what is best for you, so surround yourself with people who support and respect you.

Tips

• Not all of your friends have to be boys! You can also be friends with girls.
• Don't humiliate girls who want to emphasize their femininity. There is nothing wrong with femininity, just as there is nothing wrong with striving to be a tomboy. To each his own!

Warnings

• If you do not feel safe, be sure to inform your teacher or parents.
• Some people may laugh at you for being different from other girls. However, ignore the comments of such people and surround yourself with people who accept you for who you are.
