There isn't.
Your impression is already made.

Just be yourself and don't worry about what others are going to think about you. It worked for me..

Do something with a new look. Have a wild new hair style or do something ultra chic with your clothes. And be happy! Talk to people, introduce yourself. And talk to them on a regular basis. It'll make you seem interested in making friends with them. If you think you won't have anything to talk about, make topics like, "Hey! So did you see the new *insert actor/actress* movie?" If they did, ask them how they liked it or if it was better than their last movie because you were thinking about seeing it. This will ensure they'll know you're interested in what they think and make yourself seem like an interesting person.

go for an extreme makeover, and a new wardrobe.

Well if you want a clean slate you gotta act what you weren't acting last year. Always smiling will help because people will think you're friendly and go up to you if you don't go up to them first =] Good luck =]

If your old reputation included hanging out with friends you dont want anymore, and doing bad/things you dont want to do anymore, and dressing in one style or hanging out with one type of people, then do the complete opposite. Get yourself a new look maybe, don't ditch your old friends, but hang with them less, and walk up to people you know but never really used to hang out with and make friends. Seeming confident isn't about being mean or pretty as the media makes it out to be, but its about being nice to EVERYONE, and talking to everyone, and not making yourself seem superior to others. You can change the way you used to treat people, even if they reject you at first, try again. You shouldn't give a shit what people say about you if they dont like the new way you got things going on, its your life in the end and what you like is what is important. Making friends comes in many ways. Sit next to different people in class, and at lunch. Be nice to new people. Talk and hang out with people you usually just used to exchange pleasantries with. Join clubs, sports team, and being on student council, year book committee and stuff like that is also fun and works lots of opportunities to meet people. Good luck and I hope you get what you want in the end!

Be friendly to everyone. Don't let anything get to you. Smile and wave at people you don't even know....always have a smile on your face.

The biggest thing that helps is really the simplest thing. Just say hi, how are you doing. Say hi to the people sitting next to you in class, your locker neighbors, and really anyone you make eye contact with. By showing you are a friendly person, people are more willing to talk to you.
