How do I stop being like a goodie two shoes....?


Question Posted Monday August 9 2010, 3:17 am


Okay I'm 17, I've never had a boyfriend, I don't party that much, i get really good grades, my GPA is a 3.8, I rarely ever get in trouble with my parents, I've never really done anything wild and crazy...i do hang out with my friends usually on weekends.... Ive never had sex with my boyfriend.
I don't know I just feel like I'm extremely...boring. I want to party, have fun, and stuff like that. I feel like other people see me as boring and I feel boring. I don't wanna do drugs, have sex and fail in school, most people at school do that but I don't want people to see me as a boring goody two shoes. I just feel like I'm going to have an extremely boring life, I'm scared it will be the same way when I go to college.Some people tell me I should get with the program or be like them. Some people don't talk to me because Idon'tt act like them and they might think Im a loser. If I get mad and curse at someone no one believes it, but I only do it when I get really mad. How can I get people not to see me as boring?
What do you think...?

You really dont need to change at all. To me you dont sound boring. To me, you sound like someone with an extremely bright future. I see someone like you getting into a great college because they didnt waist their time on trashy people in high school.
Sometimes i feel like im boring too. Like...what sets me apart from everyone else? What makes me different?
Well, to answer your question:
How do i stop being a goodie two shoes?
Take off those goodie two shoes and put on some new ones. I'm talking give your self some new confidence. You sound like you have a great life. You have a boyfriend, perfect grades, and friends. What you want is that spark that draws other people to you. So I just think you need confidence.
You can try anything new. A new bolder haircut. Louder and unique wardrobe, will to speak your mind and talk to anyone. The more people your friends with, the more confidence you get. Walk around like your gunna hit up a party later, make sure everyone notices. Be happy, try to make other people happy. Hell maybe even have sex with you boyfriend, or dont(i dont think its nessisary that you do, i recomend not). Try ANYTHING.
step outside your comfort zone, but keep the life you have, because its not boring. its perfect. You just want to have more fun, so go out and do it. Bring people to concerts. Invite random friends in school to go eat with you at panera bread after school. mingle. get satisfied with your social life.

Goodluck :)

Listen, you shouldnt change because people think your boring! In the end you are going to be much better off than them, your not going to be in trouble and at least when you finish school you will have excellent grades.
If you feel boring then maybe its just because you feel like everyone else is having more fun or a better time than you.
Start asking your friends if they want to go out either after school or on a weekend or ask your parents if you can have some friends over for a small party. The next party you get invited to then take up the offer straight away and when you show up just have a good time and enjoy yourself.
If people dont talk to you then its their problem not yours, you shouldnt have to change for other people. Your friends and boyfriend love you for you and they clearly dont think you are boring. Plus I bet your parents are extremely proud of you for doing so well in school and for not being a "wild child".
Btw dont think you need to have sex with your boyfriend to fit in, do it when your ready. I waited until I was 19 until I was sure I was ready and Im very glad that I waited and didnt just have sex because everyone else did.
I hope this helps x
