Q: Okay, sooo i'm in 9th grade and i've been really shy at school since kindergarden, I don't know why but whenever i'm around big groups of people I just get really nervous and shy. I'm not like this at home or whenever i'm hanging out with people outside of school it's only at school where I get like this. everyday I get asked why i'm so quiet, and i'm tired of people asking me that everyday. I wanna be myself at school, but my self esteem is soo low it's like impossible for me. I'm so worried about what people think about me also. What are some ways I can break out of my shell and be more outgoing? I want to prove to people, that i'm not all that quiet..

Oh and also today while at lunch this really really cute guy threw a peice of bread at me and asked why I was so depressed? I guess I looked depressed at lunch? is this a sign of him flirting with me or is he just being mean? because I took it personally and wanted to cry after that! (i'm really emotional) haha.

I want to fit in at school, I want to be noticed,
highschool's tough so any advice is good advice to me! I just need help :(

High school is very tough.
You just have to forget about being shy and over and over again think positive thoughts about your self. What things make you uncomfortable about your self? If you dont like something change it. Like me I hate my hair. I cant change it right this moment because im pregnant but thats okay.
When I was in high school I just talked to everyone. I had to say in my head who cares what people think who cares what people think. I tired to be friends with everyone. etc.

Thanks for the advice :)
