14/f...i've always been REALLY shy around anyone who isn't one of my best friends. especially around guys. even if i don't have a crush on the guy and even if i'm friends with the guy i still get nervous and i'm really shy. so i have a hard time meeting guys. im not like boyfriend obsessed or anything but i've never had a boyfriend and i'll be going into 9th grade next year. i'm just saying that it would be nice to have a boyfriend. i know i'm not fat at all i'm 5'3" and i weigh around 105 (i don't know for sure since i haven't weighed myself in a while) i just have a problem with my face. i have braces and REALLY bad teeth. like i'm actually missing a tooth (it never grew in after i lost the baby tooth and there is no tooth to grow in) and one of my teeth is like disfigured and is a peg tooth. once i get my braces off (which is in July!!!) i'm going to get surgery done and they will put in a fake tooth and fix up the peg tooth. i also have very oily skin and break out often. i'm doing what i can to help my skin and i use acne products..i'm just not that patient. so i could use some help with my confidence. what are some things to do to help boost my confidence level? because i know that guys like girls who are confident.
also i get really stagefright and i can't talk in front of the class. i blush easily too.

Everyone has features that makes them beautiful, yours may be your hair, body, etc. Find your best feature and flaunt it. If it is your eyes then put eye makeup on, if it is your bodytype then wear clothes that show off your body like shorts, tank tops, tight pants (not too tight). You have to believe for yourself that you are beautiful. Once you believe that, guys will also and they will become more attracted to you.
To overcome your stagefright you must forget about all of your worries. Don't worry if people will laugh at you or not like your performance. Just worry about getting the job done and having fun. Because no matter how hard you try you will never be able to please everyone. So just be yourself and leave your fears behind. [ stillstella's advice column | Ask stillstella A Question ]
