I am a female who has been through many things in life. I've made a few foolish choices; but have also made a few okay ones. I feel like hopefully the mistakes I've made or the experiences I've been through can help others avoid pain and/or heartache; so that's why I joined. I wished in life someone had shared their true experiences with me if they were similar and could help.
Most people telling me not to do something; had no idea what I was going through. It was like those y?, non-smoking commercials all over tv and you can tell the people behind them never picked up a cigarette or understand why you did. I've managed to quit; but the commercials still infuriate me.
So that's me. And, I'll try to help if I can.

okay. so i'm 16. just started highschool. I'm sure tht i'm not ugly, because all the guys used to stare and stuff at the beginning of the year. and everything. And i used to talk to so many of them. and then i started getting back to my shy self after settling in. Now its so hard for me to talk to guys. I don't know what to say to them or anything. so I just don't say anything practically. I think i mite be socially retarded. But anyway. The guys that used to look at me and smile at each other don't even do that anymore. And this kid called me an ogre. then yesterday, this other kid made fun of me. I don't know what to do. what do you guys think about this? (link)

Sometimes kids make fun of other kids that are shy and stand-offish. It sounds like in the beginning they were interested in getting to know you; but then when you turned out to be shy; they decided to make fun of you instead. It really means nothing. In school kids make fun of shy kids and boost the popular kids that are more outgoing. Though it means nothing; it can definitely be hurtful. Even into adulthood; people make fun of shy and awkward people. It's just something that people do. I am that way a lot; so I know.
The best thing for you to do is just start to develop pride in yourself and make friends with people that make efforts to befriend you. Find true friends. Many people that are shy and awkward eventually grow up to make the most talented and most sought after artists, musicians and actors. The most important thing is to keep your pride about you. Many people make fun of what they don't understand. It's up to you to get over it. And you will find your different behavior and take on life to be very valuable in the end. I promise.

thank you, your answer makes a lot of sense. I'm trying really hard to be more open. But I hope that I can get over this shyness quick because it is bringing down the best of me. Thank you much.:)
