Middle School Issues? Help? pics of me included?

I'm 14, I'm not a prep, I get A's and B's, I'm thin and tall. Here's my face:

(I know I'm wearing a T-shirt but I don't usually)


I'm friends with good funny nice people and am usually friendly though I won't talk to preps. However I can't talk to guys. My friend is friends with funny popular guys and they sometimes talk to me but I always give short answers and I hope I don't scare them. I'm sort of afraid to talk to them though I try to be friendly and funny. Just, advice on my appearence and issues please? I went to a elementary school with like, no boys so I'm not really used to them... but I don't want to be all "Hi! What are YOUR interests?! Lets TALK!" I mean I barely know these guys. You have to understand no one really has "conversations" with boys in middle school, just maybe 10 seconds of playful talking before you move on. And what can I do to maybe look better and talk to guys?

Well, don't worry. I'm sure guys in your class are scared of talking to girls too. If you try to talk to a guy and they don't seem interested, they are probably wondering what to say, and worried about looking like an idiot in front of you! Just be yourself. If you talk about the weather, or sports, those are neutral topics that almost anyone has an opinion on. You could also talk about classes you are both taking.

Reply:Look through magazines and look at some styles, as for personality, be yourself, people like that.
Reply:well you can put on makeup dress girlie but thats just a bit to slutty. probably just be urself im in middle school and its really easy to talk to people
Reply:You are very pretty, don't worry. If you want, dress like the popular girls, wear whatever is in style, that's the safest way to dress. It's pretty easy to do really.


The best way to talk to anyone, especially boys, is to be a good listener. Really listen to them, then summarize briefly what he said in your own words, so he knows you understood. But let him do most of the talking. Everybody wants someone to understand them. Also find something to admire in a boy, they crave that kind of attention.

Reply:at the most, maybe a new haircut, get your hair out of your eyes :P not because you don't look great, you would just look so much better =]





you're cute, for a kid.


don't worry about guys, they're all ******* stupid (I'm a guy btw)


don't worry if you come off as silly or stupid


just be your self, it's unlikely you're going to date most of them anyway, so you should just be your self with EVERY guy, and not worry so much, and eventually you'll befriend a guy and maybe get a bf, who knows.
Reply:i think you are really pretty, and you shouldn't change anything about how you look.





I'm 15, I think my school is a lot different from yours because guys and girls are friends a lot at my school. Regardless of what school you go to, guys are pretty much always laid back. A lot of times I'll walk up to a guy that I've made lots of eye contact with before, and just say "hey, how is your day going?" But there has to be that preliminary eye contact.





Another thing, you have to force yourself to not be jittery. Use all the energy from butterflies to look calm and relaxed. Even if you end up looking a little tense, heck, its a guy, he probably won't even notice. And chances are he will be tense too, and not even notice if you are a little tense.





Things will progress way faster and easier than you think. You won't even have to think about it anymore, you will just be able to go up and talk to them no problem.
