-- Posted by iluvsummer22 at 4:48 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 I really dont understand it. Im 15 years old and in high school. Im the really shy girl type and im never meant to anyone. Im mostly really quiet. I used to have a lot of friends, but I stopped talking to them. Since then Ive been trying to make friends but everyone just seems like they hate me. The girls especially. They give me attitude. I dont get it because I try to be extremely nice. Sometimes I would get sick of taking it so I would stick up for myself but id just get more attitude back and their freinds would stick up for them and id have no one to be on my side. Idk what to do...help? -- Posted by stl man at 4:51 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 people are mean to you because you're quiet and shy. that's how people were to me when i was in high school. -- Posted by iluvsummer22 at 4:52 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 Quote: from stl man at 4:51 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 people are mean to you because you're quiet and shy. that's how people were to me when i was in high school. but that makes no sense. who cares if im shy and quiet? you mean because they think i wont say anything back? ive tried being mean back but whoever im arguing with has people on their side and i dont have any on my side. -- Posted by filliam at 4:52 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 from what i hear girls can be really bitchy to each other. sometimes you just have to suck it up and go through those times. i went through that when i was 14. PM me if you wanna talk *im also shy and quiet so i kinda know where your coming from -- Posted by 300 at 4:54 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 why did u stop talking to ur friends? -- Posted by stl man at 4:56 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 Quote: from iluvsummer22 at 7:52 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 Quote: from stl man at 4:51 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 people are mean to you because you're quiet and shy. that's how people were to me when i was in high school. but that makes no sense. who cares if im shy and quiet? you mean because they think i wont say anything back? ive tried being mean back but whoever im arguing with has people on their side and i dont have any on my side. yeah that's true people think you're a wimp or you're weak. people treated me the same way -- Posted by baby tee at 4:56 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 Quote: from iluvsummer22 at 11:52 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 Quote: from stl man at 4:51 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 people are mean to you because you're quiet and shy. that's how people were to me when i was in high school. but that makes no sense. who cares if im shy and quiet? you mean because they think i wont say anything back? ive tried being mean back but whoever im arguing with has people on their side and i dont have any on my side. yh i no, that really pissed me off as well but bascially yh, they r all immature and have nothing better 2 do just ignore them -- Posted by Aliboo at 5:44 am on Nov. 2, 2008 I understand exactly what you are going through, I used to be extremely shy and quiet too. There are two big reasons why girls will pick on you: 1. They see you as an easy target. Try to be more outgoing and try talking to more people and make new friends. Join clubs that interest you to help you make new friends. And also, keep defending yourself when they attack you. Don't let what they say get to you, just know that they are the fake losers since they're picking on someone who doesn't even bother them. 2. Maybe they're jealous of you and something you have. This is the problem I had with other girls. They all wanted something that I had, but they didn't, be it a boyfriend or my hair color. Just know that you are beautiful and don't listen to what they say, just be yourself and make new friends! The biggest thing is MAKE NEW FRIENDS. That's what I did and now the only people who mess with me are the people I mess with. I don't know if this advice will help you, but I really hope it does because this is what has gotten me through 2 years of high school with no drama!
