Hey guys. I'm a 16 year old in Year 11 of Highschool, and I have a truly astonishing reputation amongst my peers.

Due to poor social skills and a lack of confidence I have acted out, doing stupid acts to attract the attention of others. I am known as quite intelligent, but most people (my good mates included) find me annoying often. I have never kissed a girl, or have had any sexual experiences with one. I also do not go to/get invited to many parties.

I am currently in the process of trying to create myself a new reputation. To do this, I have began following a proper training schedule for the gym I'm subscribed to, as-well as focusing more on my studies, as-well as being more confident, outgoing and not retarded in social interactions.

I would like to know anyone else's experiences with how to accelerate this process, or if it is even possible for me to achieve it.

If it is of any relevance, I'm going to a party in weeks time which will have around 50 people from my school and a few from others attending. Would this be a good opportunity to make an impact on my rep, and if so how should I go about it?

EDIT: Thanks for all the advice guys. It all rings very true for me. I'll just be focusing on my goals from here on out and take the long road to change.
