Question Posted Thursday December 22 2005, 6:50 pm
Im 15 and I've never had a boyfriend. Im not pretty and Im REALLY shy. Most people at school have never heard me speak before and I cant use the phone because thats how shy I am.
It makes me so sad and jealous when I see couples at school or on TV. There are kids in primary school with boyfriends and I haven't even had one!!
I know that you don't NEED a boyfriend, but I really want one because I feel so lonely and stuff
I like a boy at school and I sit next to him in registration, but I dont talk to him. When he comes and sits next to me he always says my name, like in a funny way, and I smile, but thats it. Also one time in science he and his friends were playing hangman on the board, and he wrote my whole name as the words you had to guess. I dont know if he was making fun of me or what though.
Sorry its so long, but how can I get more confidence? Thanks xx

Act like this to boys and everyone else! Cause i bet that person on earth you act yourself with likes you, right? Well its no different for most other people! sometimes its just harder cause you feel like the person wont like you for who u are. [ JackiexMarie's advice column | Ask JackiexMarie A Question ]

When I first moved here in the town where I live now I never talked to anyone I really didn't. I felt the same way you did. I just got really frustrated that I didn't have any friends so the next day I just started talking to people in my classes. I really don't know what to say but I talked to them. You just need to really pull yourself together and just start talking to people. So about the boyfriend thing. Well if you like this guy then you should talk to him in science. You should start off to ask him about the lesson and stuff. Thats a way to start a conversation and stuff like that. To let him know that you can speak. So maybe after that he'll start like talking to you and maybe he may even like you. And if he treats you like crap and start like playing jokes on you. Well I really don't think you should pay attention to him that much. Thats just if.
