AboutDan Expertise Being a senior in high school, I have been through it all. High school's been the best and worst years of my life. I can answer anything from relationship problems to self image issues. I have been to many schools and I know how hard it is to make friends and want nothing more than to be accepted. I've learned patience and acceptance and I just want to help you guys out in any way I can =)
Ask away!
Experience I have been a camp counselor several times in the past. Whenever some of the kids I was looking after had a problem they came to me to help work it out.
Organizations Not really religious, but I help out the community church down the road by playing saxophone and piano for them whenever they put on a production.
Education/Credentials I'm a senior in high school and therefore have first hand knowledge of the subject.
Awards and Honors I'm an Honor Role student and I received the top academic award for my grade last year (the Dux award).
Question Hello,first of all I'd like to say that i'm not English,so i might have some spelling problems.However,let's get to the point.I'm 15 yo and i don't like myself..my personality.I used to be a shy,very very sensitive guy(i even cried when i had a bad mark ..in the 6th grade i think),but after that i got mad on me because im such a pussy,so i tried to look as cold as ice,but i noticed that nobody actually realized it(i'm talking about my classmates).They keep treating me like a coward.However,once i went in high school i decided i'll start a new life.Well,the surprise was that in the 9th grade i have mostly the same classmates(it's a bit complicated to explain why but it's about the fact that it is the best high school in my town).So now i have about 13 new classmates.I changed A LOT in the last time,but i am still in the "cowards" group of friend..the unpopular ones.But as i said,i changed ,im much stronger mentally,but i still have this "fear" of talking with those "popular" classmates,maybe because i don't do the thins that they usually do..smoke..I absolutely hate smoking!!But that wouldn't be a problem since one of them is a really good and smart guy,he doesn't smoke,but STILL he's one of the "cool guys",and that pisses me off!
Ok,i'm really sorry if i didn't express myself correctly,as i said im not english,and i'm waiting for any advices!
thank you,
Thomas
Answer Haha so what, do you want to start hanging with the popular crowd? Well I can't really tell you how to do that, because people are popular for different reasons in different places. But you've got to be able to talk to them and be confident. Even if you're not, just pretend you are confident. Smile a lot and make jokes. You can still be a nice guy and be popular.
