-- Posted by JakeG212 at 1:23 am on July 4, 2009 I am a 16 year old and I am so shy when it comes to school. I can be social away from the people at my school but it is so hard for me to actually talk with others. I have been like this for years and I am so lost in my life. Every summer since the end of elementary, I have not done anything with my friends. During the second semester of my 10th grade year, I stayed in the library for lunch time. No one ever calls me, texts me. I never had a girlfriend nor did I know of a girl liking me. I sit at home doing nothing worthwhile, seriously I play my X360 the whole day. This whole summer I have left my house a total of 6 times. Im not "fat", I don't think I am "ugly". My parents are flat-out broke because of my alocohlic brother, my cousin went to boot camp and now has a possibility to lose his vision. I love to watch basketball and would love to play it but my parents have no $ for a hoop or rec center. I don't do anything bad to others and yet in school I will get an occasional bully whom I did nothing too. -- Posted by Catalyst11 at 1:26 am on July 4, 2009 You just need to get confident, get out there, and make friends. -- Posted by Looking4aRomeo at 1:39 am on July 4, 2009 Quote: from Catalyst11 at 1:26 am on July 4, 2009 You just need to get confident, get out there, and make friends.
