HCOloverr22 answered Tuesday November 27 2007, 8:17 pm: i understand what you mean by it being hard to talk to people, but there are several things you can do to make it easier on yourself. first, as cheesy as it sounds, smiling and saying hi is the best way to meet people. REMEMBER, other high schoolers are just as shy and self-concious as you are, so when you seem to give them the "cold-shoulder" because you're shy, they could see that as a message to leave you alone. i would also say that getting some friends that are girls BEFORE guys is very important, because they're your support system. as easy-going and fun as guys are, they are guys, and they'll get tired of you if you hang around them a lot because they like their "guy time." besides, girls in high school can become vicious and jealous bitches when they see that you go immediately to guys your first day of school. of course, you should meet boys AND girls, but i would suggest you find some girls that you fit in with first.
