  • frontiervilla--Try to get to know the class a little better. If they think you are trying to get to know them, and really care about them, that will change their attitude. Also, give it time. You are new. Every year it will get easier.

  • calastur--Can you and your friends walk up to her and her friends? Even if you just get one guy to help you out, it will make the situation a little easier. And then, while your friend is talking to her friends, you can start chatting with her.

  • Hi viniclusvrd--Don't give up! Being new is very hard. It takes time to get to know people. Next time you say hi to someone, I can pretty much guarantee you won't get the same reaction that you did today. Most people are not that mean. Just find someone with a kind look on their face.

  • the only reason im really shy is because my face turns red for no reason i feel comfortable and everything this sometimes happens when i talk to my friend who i knew for 4 years and i also lived with him so im no where near shy around them and it still happens its annoying i need help also this happens to when i talk to family like my mom and my sister who i lived with almost my whole life

  • Is it wrong to be jealous if my gf likes or loves another guy and pays more attention to him than me?? And how woyld i explain this to her

  • for me it is junior high!! :D

  • @calastiur you just have to see what they like in people and you have to adapt to their needs.

    you dont tell a jewish person racist jokes. you dont be disrespectful to elderly people. similiar to that.

  • I don't care to meet people in a new situation.

  • actually this IS junior high in my situation

  • Your either a counsler or a principle

    or a very concerned paremt. I think you make more sense

    than most counslers do.. Who is this lady?

    I must know

  • i have my first job now and this job requires a lot of talking. i'm in the field of teaching a man to man class and it's really my biggest problem. I'm not talkative nor out going so my student's main complain is my teacher is shy I don't like her,, pls I need more advice.. :(
