Why you should totally go for the geek this school year

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
I have a crush on an ugly and nerdy guy. I don’t want to tell anyone, because I’m really popular and it will ruin my reputation. I don’t even know why I like him but I’ve been watching him over the last couple of weeks and I think he and I would be a perfect match.

 

First off, it’s great that you are open to dating people you would not usually date. But, let’s be real: your popularity shouldn’t matter if you really like this guy. As long as you’re happy, then it’s easy to tune out pesky gossip. Besides, shouldn’t your friends be stoked you found a guy you dig? If not, they’ll have to learn how to deal.

 

Talking to him is the first step to see if he’s right for you. You might find, as you become friends with him, that he’s a considerate guy and that’s why you like him. Enjoy spending time with him, and don’t let social rankings define your feelings for him.

I have a school assignment for English on which we have to write a 600 word, NONFICTION "magazine article" about school. It sounds cool, but I have no idea on what to write about. What do you think are some good topics appropriate for highschool it college students?
Second I'm in my junior year of High school and I can already feel it getting really hard even after just one week. Normally I'm a pretty good student but I can feel the work piling on especially history notes both in an out of class which is the worst because history is my worst subject and I'm not a very good note-taker so any tips?
Thanks!

Hey girl,

Since it has to be nonfiction, maybe you could choose an issue, like cheating or bullying, and do some research about it? Try reading some teen mags (especially GL!) for ideas. As for being overwhelmed by schoolwork, talk to your history teacher about study skills now. The teacher will be impressed that you're taking the initiative to care about your grades and will have some great tips to share!

ok so theres this guy that i havent been able to get over, since like, 4th grade. almost 3 years. (im in 7th now) anyway, so was at my friends 13th bday party, and i got my friend to ask him to slow dance with me (im really shy when it comes to guys) and his idiot friend screamed "HE SAID NO!" and so i went to the bathroom and cried/laughed LOL! but he didnt say anything. so i mean i dont know if at the school dance i should ask him again, when hes alone? Cause i think he might like me. What should i do? Thanks!

Hey girl,

I would wait for him to approach you first. If he didn't apologize after what his friend did, that's probably not a good sign! Besides, don't you want a guy whose friends will be nice to you?

It is fine to date a nerd. My boyfriend is a nerd and he is really sweet. I realized that I really like him, and my friends all like him because he makes me happy. You need to get over what other people think and worry about what you think.
