When your in high school, do you have to have sex to be cool? Do you have to have a girlfriend and kiss all of the time? Tell me what its like, because middle school was bad enough.

Who wants friends that only like you for those reasons? You should be yourself and do what you feel comfortable with. Some people might think they need to do those things to be "cool", but in the long run, it does not work.
By the way, I completely know how you feel. I hated middle school, but it can only get better. People in high school are a bit more mature and accepting. And don't listen to what people say is or isn't "cool". It's all an opinion. When you are out of high school, none of that will even matter anymore. You don't need to be popular and cool. Just be happy and yourself. Believe me, in the long run, you will be happy that you were true to yourself instead of other people. [ mekago5's advice column | Ask mekago5 A Question ]

I'm really popular because I get along with everybody, and I haven't done any of those things to get people to like me. It's not worth it, and for me, no one would like me if I slept with all kinds of guys, it wouldn't be who I am. [ LagunaBabe's advice column | Ask LagunaBabe A Question ]
