Dance without my boyfriend (or any friends)
14/F
I love ballroom dance. It's a lot of fun to me and I thoroughly enjoy it. But this year, I'm going to have new teachers. The classes are split up by grade. My boyfriend and I were going to take it together, but he's older than I am, and we're not in the same class. My other friend is the same age as me, but started kindergarten before me, is also in a different class than I am. I don't want to do dance without a friend, because being alone scares me. It scares the living daylights out of me. My mom says I have to take the class, and I really like dance; but I'm afraid to do it alone. Being alone is my biggest fear. My parents said I could talk to the teachers, and perhaps they would accept me into the second class, but not to get my hopes up. Is there anything that you would reccomend me saying to the teachers? ... "Yeah, I'm terrified of doing stuff alone, so let me into the class." - No. I don't think that's gonna cut it. Any suggestions? Help me please. I really don't want to do this alone...
Thank you, in advance!

just tell the teacher that you have some issues with diog things by yourself and that it would make you feel much better if you could be in a class with one of your friends.but if that doesnt work try not to worry about being in it alone. im sure there will be other people in the class that are alone also and they will be just as scared as you are. you will meet lots of new people there and make friends really quick im sure.hope i helped XoXo

i have the same problem as you. im afraid to be alone, any where. idk why but i do, so i know where your coming from. the best thing would be to ask the teacher. juss say like, "well i have problems being by myself, especially dancing, so i was wondering if it would be alright if my friend would be in my class" im sure she'll understand, and hopefully you'll eventually get over the fear.
stay strong!

You could just say that you are nervous being alone and you think it might affect the way you dance. I can relate to you because I used to ballroom dance. Whenever i went to competitions I got nervous because I didn't know anyone because I had a private class. The only person I knew was my teacher. I quit because I didn't like doing it alone. It was a mistake. Maybe you should try it out for about a month and maybe you will meet new people.

When you think about it, this could be a great oppertunity. You could make so many new friends. Try to be brave!! You never know, someone could be just as afraid as you. Give it a chance!! If you don't like it, then ask a teacher if you can change. It's right not to get your hopes up. Teahcers can be very judgemental!! I wore a skirt once, and somehow it got pulled up and one of my teachers said,"Could you PLEASE pull down your skirt?" She made it sound like I was a...well....yeah. If you want to try talking to your teacher about it, say something like,"Excuse me,Mr./Ms./Mrs. Whatever, could you please consider letting me into the second class? I don't feel confortable...."
Hope I helped!

Have a friend thats in your grade and your age that's never done it before and see how they like it. A lot of times the teachers don't like friends to be together during dance because they think that they'll just goof off or not pay attention. Or you can try to work up some guts and do it yourself and meet some new people there. I'm sure many other people in your class are there alone too! just think of it that way :)
