Act like you were never a bad person at all.
Throw away clothes that remind you of things you've done wrong. For instance, you could throw out that shirt you got dirty when you fell off the wall trying to break into a friend's house. If anyone asks you or comments on something you regret, change the subject, or make a comment about how you really wish that it had never happened.
Stop swearing.
Swearing is a no-no if you're trying to change your rep. If you find this hard, like a lot of people do, look through some of the wikiHow article on the topic- they can really help with these ends of things.
Pay attention in class.
You don't have to become a nerd, but try to focus more. Pay attention in class and strive to do well in your studies. It sounds like a lot of extra work, but when you start looking for that college scholarship later on in life, you'll regret it if you don't have semi-good grades.
Become an optimist.
Always try to find at least one positive thing about your situation. If you keep it up, it may become a habit.
Tone down that makeup.
If you wear too much makeup or dress goth, stop. Gradually start wearing nicer clothes, and don't put on so much makeup and products. Choose lighter, happier colors, and you may end up with a changed stereotype just because of the way you look. It's stupid, but makeup really has an effect in today's world.
