Hello! I totally agree with Maggie. :):)
I am in the seventh grade and I know exactly how you feel. I have never had a real friend even now, and I feel scared to go to school everyday. I’ve never seen you before, but I know already that you are a beautiful person. You have courage to write down your feelings and you have common sense! What more can we ask for?
There is this new girl in my class and she is friends with my closest friend. She’s pretty, smart and athletic. I don’t think she likes me very much. Admittedly, I am a nerd and I read books 24/7. Literally. Two popular girls in my class and one cold girl whom I’m trying to befriend. The two don’t make a good combo. They turn their noses up at me because I read books, do my science homework, and I’m my science teachers pet. But who cares? Next year, I’ll be going to high school, with a population of 1500 minimum. I have already made a friend that I will see next year, and I’m still seeing her in track meets. And I’ll probably never see the girls in my classes. Who cares if I read books or do my homework? I’m ME. and as many times as I wish I were dead, I like looking at my mirror and thinking, “so this is who I am.”
The only thing you need to do is remind yourself that you will be forever beautiful like you already are, and that those girls have lost their chance at befriending a wonderful person. You are you, and you are beautiful. And nothing can change that. Certainly not those girls.
Sorry for the long post, and I hope this helped!

THAT IS GENIUS!!!!!!!! Lol, I didn’t even ask the question but I’m gonna try that!

My brother and a friend of his just had the longest Facebook chat ever, it’s actually still going on. She’s a girl, BTW. She wrote “So imagine there’s an apocalypse, like a zombie outbreak, and you’d have to form a survival team with 10 people from school, our year, who would they be?” You count as one of the 10 people. Pick 9 people to survive with you, say why. Don’t just pick friends, think logically. People who are strong, mentally & physically, and can handle a crisis. Then you can go on to where you’d stay, what you’d bring… They’ve literally been having this convo for over 2 hours, and they aren’t done yet. Then pick a group leader and stuff. It really works, and I’ve decided to do this if there’s ever a long awkward silence with friends or anything.
Trust me, it’ll work. And if you run out of time and can’t finish planning your apocalypse, tell him “Sorry, I have class now, but we HAVE to keep talking about it later!!” And that gives you a great excuse to go talk to him again!!!

I know this was long, but I really hope it helped!!!

Ya, I just forgot to add the link in my name 😛
I added it again this time though!!

I have some issues starting conversations with my crush too, but I’ll try the best I can. In fact, I’ll say some ways I score some covos that you could bend to your use.
Ok, my locker is next to his. Sometimes I complain in a humorous way as I set my stuff down next to his like “I need to start bringing my fluffy robe to social studies! It’s so cold in there!” or trash the math teacher everyone hates. (He never teaches us anything! One time he was talking about a stripper party in class!) “Wow, that was weird in Mr. Jones’s.” or random updates on my weirdness “I’m grounded so I had to hide in a box to watch the new Adventure Time last night. SO WORTH IT!!!!”
Basically, just say weird things that seem random and it will most likely start an actual coversation.

Hey, Kathy!
Yeah, I do remember. That’s a good idea, I think I’ll try it. I just don’t know if I trust his best friend enough to tell him. In the summer I really can, because his best friend is one of my best friends and even though he’s a joker, he surprisingly good at listening. But, as we can all tell in The North-East, it’s not summer. 🙁
Anyway, thanks for the advice. Maybe I’ll try it! 😀

P.S. Didn’t you have a blog?

You should take it good naturedly and tell them “Ok, then I guess I can steal your clothes :p” or something like that. No matter who you get assigned, find good in that character and tell it to them. Don’t get hurt by it, it will drive them crazy if you act invincible.

Maybe if you just talk to her about these issues than she might stop. If she does end up taking another swig of haterade and tries to get everyone to hate you, it might not truly be that bad. Your true friends will stick beside you and everyone else; just forget about them. If they turn on you just from ONE girl, they are just as bad as her.
Hope this helps ^u^

It seems as if you have it fixed in your mind that it is a given people will treat you that way. Instead of thinking of having no life as a bad thing, embrace it! That’s what I do! I don’t have a social life and all of my friends are self proclaimed nerds but we all embrace it! We don’t care if popular peeps can’t handle our weirdness, we look down on them for that. They seem to be so fake, and keeping their exteriors like everyone else popular when I embrace it and don’t care if no one else likes Adventure Time, that just makes me wear AT hats, shirts, jeans, shoes, gloves, and necklaces to school all like “Deal with it biatch!” lol so as I was saying, make yourself not care what anyone thinks about you and embrace yourself.

I think that if you truly want to be a writer, follow your dreams. You shouldn’t drop being a lawyer right away, though. You should try writing more and if you really do think that’s what you want to do, attempt a full published book. (I wouldn’t advise dropping lawyering (not a word? it is now) until you finish and publih one. Just so you’re not stuck without a job.
