Ok, so I really like this boy that my friends toold me a lot about. I liked him all year, occasionally talking to him, and sitting next to him. So before break, I wrote a letter telling him how much that I liked him. I was pouring my heart out to him. He said no. Then, I hear from a friend that the reason he said no was because he didn't really know me. So at this point, I don't know what to do. Please help me
XOXO

 

Hey girl, maybe try and get to be friends with him first. Just be friendly the next time you see him. Try and work up conversation.

There is this guy I REALLY like. And I think he might like me. One time, he kept putting his hand on my shoulder and not laughing at me when I did embarrassing stuff. He also told me to wait for him before we went on the school bus. Problem is..... One time he kicked a boy and his mom took him out of the school. Problem number 2 .......one of my best friends also likes him. She knows that u
I like him, and we are cool about it, but I don't want him to feel like be has to choose between us. He comes every week on Tuesdays and Fridays to pick up his brother and he normally converses with us girls. But I'm not usually there when he comes...... I have to go to swimming or something. So, do you have any suggestions. Thank you sooo much.

It sounds like he likes you or is at least flirting with you, although if there is a potential for violence that is not a good thing! If it's a rumor and you're not sure if it's true, maybe you could get to know him and give him a chance. If he's gotten help, he might have changed, and you might not know the whole story. But if he seems harmful to himself and others, get out of there! As for your friend liking him, it's good that you were honest with each other about liking him. He doesn't have to choose between you if the three of you are friends for now, so maybe try getting to know him and spending more time with him to see how he acts around you both, which might give you an idea of who he likes. It's not worth wrecking your friendship for a guy, so keep your mind open to the possibility of a new crush, too!

I don't have any close friends and i feel kinda lonely. It's not that people dont like me, I just don'thave many friends I even want to be closer with. How can I branch out and meet new people? I'm homeschooled and I already play softball and am involved in 4h (although the ppl there are mostly adults).

What do you exactly mean by mind map? It's a lot of material so if I do that it will be a lot of paper. Also, will there be any articles on like midterms before january 7th? Thanks again!

This is my first year of high school. I was just wondering what midterms will be like. Thanks MOD!

 

hey! They're cumulative test that focus on 1/2 the class material. To prep, gather notes, old tests, and teacher comments to look over. making flashcards to test yourself may also be useful

How can I overcome my extreme shyness/introvertness? I am paralyzed with fear when I have to speak in front of the class or talk to guys/upperclassmen/teachers etc. I try to look happy and nice and approachable. I am in band and robotics. I talk to my friends' friends. I just can't overcome my severe shyness! What should I do? PLEASE respond as I've already posted this 3-4 times with no response. Thank you MOD!

 

hey! You just have to practice  getting out of your comfort zone and interacting with people. It won't be easy, and may take a long time but the more you practice the more comfortable and confident you'll feel. good luck!

I am trying to create a study guide for Midterms, but I am stumped! They gave us the review and I have the information, I just don't know what format to put it into. HELP!

 

Try making a mind map! It's an awesome way of studying where you make a "map" of all of the information. Make it fun and use a lot of colors. It'll help you remember all the info.! xoxo 

MOD MOD MOD MOD you may think this sounds a little bit ridiculous, but one of my 2013 goals is to have a first boyfriend. So I have two parts to this question.
a) First, I need to actually meet the guy. Any advice here, and then on how I can be friends with him?
b) Once I've met him and become friends with him, what next? How do we get involved romantically?
thanks c:

 

Think about your hobbies, could you meet any guys doing what you love? If you love to work out maybe you can meet a guy at the gym. Plus you'll already have something in common. Just strike up a conversation. What's the worst that could happen?? xoxo
