Q: 15/f
Okay here's the 'deal'
I'm home schooled and have been my whole life.
I'm not dumb or anything but when It comes down to dating I'm not too 'lucky' with guys, I guess because I don't go to the same school as they do? blahblahblah and I feel like it's like I'll NEVER get a boyfriend because I'm homeschooled, I don't want that, I deff don't want to be loney forever-
It doesnt feel that great:/ Like seriously everyone I know has boyfriends/girlfriends and I'm the only one who doesnt because I'm not in a "real" school. This isn't gonna happen forever will it?


ahhhhh I'm going crazy
Okay, this question really hit home for me. I was home schooled from 4th grade all the way through high school... And I know you really don't want to hear this, but please don't rush it!

Okay look, the reason I'm telling you this is for a GOOD reason.

I was your age and I wanted a boyfriend SO bad, all my friends had one; I wondered what on earth was wrong with me. I thought I must have not been so good socially, or not pretty enough or SOMETHING. Well, I ended up making it my mission almost to get a boyfriend. I was so determined to have one... But you know what... It really wasn't worth it.

Don't get me wrong, being in ‘like’ with someone and having a crush and feeling like you're madly in love, is loads of fun, and girls eat that stuff up. But please, just don't worry about it.

I ended up attracting really bad guys because I wanted a boyfriend so badly, I was cheated on almost every time and ended up with a lot of drama, because I didn't know any better, I had no idea what people in public school were really like.

Honestly, just be happy. Being a strong independent girl, is so much sexier and more attractive than some needy girl that is longing for a boyfriend, (not that you are, that's how I USED to be so I know the difference and what gets better results.)

Just take your time. Girl TRUST me, I have been there, PLEASE believe me, I KNOW! I do, I do... But you WILL have a boyfriend. I promise you, you will someday. I also give you my word you will NOT be lonely forever. You just enjoy yourself and all of your friends and being happy with you, because THAT is what is going to attract a GOOD guy that you're going to want to be with girl.

I know that going crazy feeling, geez, I feel like I'm back in middle school after reading that...

Really, I'm so sorry for sounding like a Mom hahaha, just know this will not be forever ok? I promise. AND you are definitely NOT alone on any of that.

Thankkkkkkkkk you so much.
your amazing

Hey! =) I really love my life and the things and people in it. I love fashion, make-up, going out, dancing, teaching dance, and being with my friends and family. I feel very blessed for the things I have. It took me a while to get to this point though and I know that growing up, and even people my age, you need advice about certain things every now and then. I've always had people give me advice about things and I've been able to use their advice through my own experience and mistakes and come up with some of my own things. And now I'm the one always helping my friends out. I always have new ideas that I love to share. And well, I can't promise I'll always be able to help or give you the answer you're looking for but, I'll definitely do my best. =)


Also, whether you ask me a question in my inbox or I answer one alone I normally ALWAYS add in my experiences because for me, I like to know when people can relate and aren't just guessing, it's easier when someone has actually been through it. And I'm not going to do any favors by lying, so I am ALWAYS going to be honest. But keep in mind just becasue of my experience and my honesty does not mean I am always right and I understand that. Feedback is appreciated to know what I can work on with certain answers, not demanded.
