As long as I stick to these guide lines teachers favor me and surprisingly I don't get picked on by peers. Instead they compliment me for being good.

Answer 2

live and act with integrity

treat people how you would want to be treated

be accountable

Answer 3

The easiest way to gain respect is to show respect for others. This could be by keeping unwanted opinions to yourself or simply being chivalrous.  

Answer 4

by loving yourself and respecting yourself, how would you expect others to respect you more than you respect yourself. By respecting yourself I mean believing in yourself, being comfortable with who you are and accepting yourself as you are. ppl notice you and how much you mean to yourself, on that basis they will respect or disrespect you. and of corse you can't expect any respect if you don't respect others.

and finally don't EVER EVER let destructive criticizim pull you down or make you feel upset.

good luck!
