  • So, there's this cute blond boy, my age and my grade. He's SO CUTE! I'm just to nervous to talk to him! I've known him since kindergarten! What do I do?
Are you guys friends? If not, I think the best thing to do is just start a conversation. If you guys have any classes together you could say,"Wow that's a lot of homework" or ask him a question about what your learning. If you see him somewhere maybe smile and then keep on going like everything's fine. It's always hard to start a conversation, but once you do, it will be worth it.

Hmm tough one. I would just smile and say "hi" that always works the best. Talk about school work and sit next to him in some classes, but not all, then you'd just seem crazy.

Well. if you really like him and are too nervous to ask up front writing a note is an option.

yah just talk I know its hard at first but it gets easier


  • ok so I RLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY like by BFF and he just found out.... im scared that its gonna be awkward!!!!!! HWELP!!!! *Feather*talk to the guy , you never know....
    • talk to the guy , you never know...
Just be yourself - don't lie, don't buy a bunch of clothes you'll only wear once to try to impress him, just be original, make cheap clothing look good. xD [Wow...I need to stop giving advice xD] And eventually, he'll notice you, and he'll probably like you and then ask you out...or at least that would work in theory.

Role-Play

  • My cat Spottedpaw is getting way to complicated! He's being attacked by a bear fighting with an aunt who stole her away! Please, what should I do?
Wow! That's a lot of action. I think the best thing to do is to calmly look at the situation and do what you think is best.

Just think of a way to add them all together into one gijanto big plot :]

  • Ok, I'm in 7th grade, and I'm extremely shy and quiet during school, but around my friends I'm almost the complete opposite; with my friends I'm goofy, loud, and I'm not afraid to be myself. But during school for some reason it's like I'm not very social at all. At my school, I only have 2 main teachers, a homeroom and a switch, and I only have about 1 friend in my homeroom, and one in my switch. No one ever talks to me, and since there are 2 other ppl in my homeroom/switch with the same name as me, and one of them only just moved here. Lets say my name is Leslie Howard. Ppl either call me by my full name (and pronounce my last name wrong!) or call me "Howard girl." Another recent example is we all had to do a project on a cell, create a model, and do an oral report in front of the class, and the class grades you, as well as the teacher. I knew my cell rly well, and even had notes to look at, but my oral report was horrible and everyone gave me like 40/75 points for the oral report, except for my friend. I think I could have been better if ppl actually talked to me, or if I wasn't so shy. I'm not dumb or anything; I'm in honour's class. And no ones mean to me or anything. Just no one ever talks or pays any attention to me. But for some reason I'm having a RLY hard time being less shy and quiet and being more social. I'm sorry this is so long, but could you please help me to be more social and make more friends in my classes??????? PLZ HELP!!! I think it might have a negative affect on me as I get older....
I know exactly how you feel. My last name is pronounced wrong all the time, so is my first name. I sorta just grin and bare it then laugh about it later. I can't stand giving oral reports, I mean talking in front of ALL your classmates? Crazi! When I have to do an oral report, I usally only make contact with the people I know, or I look right about everyone's heads. Also make sure to keep your voice up, and pretend like your talking to your friends. If your quiet in class, start small like raising your hand to answer questions, or reading a passage out of a book. Don't be afrid to ask questions either. I don't have a lot of friends in my science class, I've learned to ask small questions like,"Do you understand this?"or "That's a lot of homework!"something to start a conversation. Hope this helps =)

Oh yeah,me too,you're basically discribing my life here=P So shy's a problem.Usually if you're the outsider people won't ask you to hang out or anything but if YOU ask people probably won't say no.You can keep notes of the people's personalities;).Start being more socialized with the peeps you think is the nicest=)

xDDD im sorry but i'm not really gonna have great advice here. I have never been shy and love standing up infront of people and talking. Try starting up conversations with people you don't know? Try making them laugh, people always love to laugh and it lightens the mood a lot.

Ah I'm shy a lot too! This might be a little late to write my advice now, but I am VERY shy, just like you are. Just start asking little questions, and remember that people like when you ask them questions about themselves usually--it makes them feel good, since most people like to talk. Also, you can ask your RL friends that you're not shy around for help, too. They'll surely help you push yourself to be less shy, since they know the real you.


  • OK, this will sound really dumb coming from me but oh well. At school there are these 3 girls that have harassed me because I'm bi-polar and they think it's funny to make me mad enough to punch them in the face. they have been doing this since like 4th grade and i am now in 9th - -' please help me find a way to make them stop. Yes i have talked to teachers(they don't do anything except give them 'the look') the principle(who plays favorites and hates me) the counceler is only like 'how does it make you feel?' and my dad has called school but guess what? it still has not stopped. I really don't want to tear these ppl to shreads because it will look pretty bad on permanate record. . . my dad said that it very well come to a fight to make them stop. i don't know what i should do please help me...~Pip

Ugh it's people like that, that make me so mad. Obviously tearing them to shreds won't work [[thou it does sound fun =P Jk]] and obviously the adults at your school don't care either. My guess is that these girls either have no life, are insecure about themselves, or really really weren't raised right. Maybe the best thing to do is ignore them. That's hard thou. You could come up with a quick reply or a comeback or just walk away form them. When I sed to get bullied and stuff I would usually just walk away, or simply not say anything, and just smile at them. You could just look at them and say something that they would never expect too. I dunno thou...I'm probably not the best for something like this, I wasn't ever bullied like that...maybe Thunda will have a good idea too.
~ Sorry i'm late piperdoodlez! But I understand. Bullies are mean and just don't listen to them. When people talk to me like that all I do is smile as hard as I can right back at them. It usually works and sometimes they don't bother me for a while after. The only reason that they are making fun of you is because they are really, really insecure about themselves. Just know that you are the better person and that people like that are always gonna be in your life, so you might wanna practice dealing with them now. Everyone deals with bullying some time in their life but the more you stand up for yourself and ignore them the less they will bully you.
About the teachers at school, well...there is nothing you can really do to fix it. Maybe talk to a better couseler and talk to a teacher you really trust? Don't keep talking to those idiots who give you the look and just ignore your principal.

*pip here*i been ignoring it all the years tried everything and nothing works. the only option left i would say is reporting it to the cops. . . because where i live it's called harassment and truthfully i didn't want it to come to this but idk still should i tell the cops? i'm worried they'll blow me off too though...

=// If you felt like it wa coming to that I would do it...maybe these kids would knock it off.

Well if it where me i would confuse them with random compliments and stuff. make them be like eehhh what?

  • I have an enemy in school,she just gets on my nerves a lot,she does everything she can to annoy me,just everything!I can't even walk by without her stepping on my foot.The worst part is that she's careful not to do anything really bad so I can't tell the teacher because my teacher would be all "That's a little problem,it's probably just for fun,you can figure it out."And my enemy is the teacher's favorite so if I strike back I would be in HUGE trouble.Help me out!
Oh that's gotta be fun. Is there anyway for you to take a different route to your classes? Maybe just showing that you could care less what she does will make her stop. Is she popular? Does she just want the attention? Maybe her friend put her up to it, what are they like? Play the nice game, smile at her, it should get to her ;)

Yesh^^ Wut Echo said. You can tell your parents, councelor or someone and try to express your feelings without too much....losing control of yourself. I think it will help. It's still a form of bullying and you should tell a councelor and ask her to talk to your teacher, or maybe a parent and tell them its very important to you. Mostly teachers DO listen to parents, so it might help =) If it doesnt, then just ask her to please stop in a calm and friendly way and if she doesnt want to, then play the nice game and try to get on her good side, or ignore her. When you ignore it, people start getting bored xP

We hope our advice helps and we love hearing how things work out for you!
