Would being a nude art model for a school I don't go to help my shyness?

The best nude models used in art schools are large with lots of curves , at least that's the way it was at The National Art School, Sydney, Australia. I don't know about being pale or being shy. Could you pose naked in front of your best friends for an hour or so??? If you can't do that I don't think you could do it in front of a room full of strangers.....

Maybe just be you. If you put on some big show for guys it makes it seem like you can't be you and you gotta put on a "mask" just so people can find you attractive. In the end, it might not even get you anywhere if you're not the real you.

I would have to know you to say exactly. My sister was a beautiful girl in high school and never got asked out. Then at graduation, a lot of guys said they thought she was already taken. If you walk with confidence, some dudes are intimidated. If you don't show much skin, you send a signal that you're not easy. Just believe in yourself, spend time by yourself, be good to yourself, get to know yourself, and be glad you don't have to deal with all the b.s. that comes with relationships. I can tell you this, a guy that is special to you will come along when you're not expecting it at all. That's always the way it works.

Its no big deal at all, but its a little scary until you do it for the first time.  \n\nBasically, the rule to remember is that the boys wont laugh at you for being naked, but they will laugh at you for being embarrassed about being naked.  They pick up on that.\n\nDon't try to hide yourself or wear swim shorts.  Guys that do, generally lose them (with help) at a really embarrassing time and then everybody laughs.  For that reason, not all schools even allow guys to shower with their swim suits on.  Stop and think about how stupid that looks.  In my school, we were forbidden from wearing shorts in the shower.\n\nJust go in, strip, then walk into the shower.  You usually don't stay in there all that long, just enough to get the sweat off.  Then you get a towel and go back and get dressed.  \n\nEven if you are scared to death, you can't show it.  Just pretend that you do this every day.  You'll be really sorry if the other guys find out you are scared.\n\nI was scared the first time really bad, but after a week or so, I was very comfortable being naked in front of the other guys.  I even streaked the gym, but there weren't that many people in there at the time.\n\nAfter you have been doing it for a few weeks, you'll feel like showering outdoors.  Seriously, it just is.\n\nOne other thing, you might have a tendency to go quickly into the shower and then get dressed as fast as possible.  The problem is that this shows that you are nervous and can get you into trouble.  You need to throttle yourself so that you don't appear nervous.\n====\nForget about crap like penis size and sh!t.  Nobody is going to comment about it and you'll see that pretty much all the guys are the same.  Contact me if you have any qustions.

Don’t rush it.  Take your time.  Sounds like you would be better off just talking to different guys until you get over your shyness.  You do not NEED to be dating anyone steadily.  Things will change drastically in college.  If you are more comfortable in talking with guys this will really help you.

There's nothing wrong with being a little shy....some guys find it attractive.  But, if YOU don't like being shy, retrain yourself.  Start by making eye contact with strangers while your shopping.....add a smile....eventually a "hi, how are you?".  I know-it sounds simple and goofy...but it works.  Strangers aren't as threatening as people we know or like. It will still feel uncomfortable at first.....but what have you got to lose.  It also helps to have a few ready made questions for you meet people.  They could be school, family, or hobby related......you get the idea.  Good luck.  You'll be happy to know that confidence comes with age!

Ok, when I was in middle school, I was scared for the longest because I thought they were going to make us shower. I was one of the lucky ones because some schools don't shower. But I still had to dress in front of people, and alot of people still have to shower. I'm not going to lie to you and say it isn't embarrasing. But I PROMISE YOU THIS. EVERYBODY just like you is thinking about this. Everybody is scared, this and that. If you DO have to shower, don't think your going to be the only one embarrassed. Even if you weren't, alot of guys don't want to see anything dangling anyways. It will be awkward for a while, but pretty soon it will be ok, whether your showering or dressing. Just keep your head up, avoid looking around too much, and don't do it fast, that gives it away, just do it smooth and don't go slow, just do it at a steady pace. There is nothing I can say that will make you feel better, just like when I was entering high school. It's just one of those things..... Like when you were scared on your first day of school, going to be scared on your first day of high school, nothing will prepare you for any of that, it's just one of those things you have to actually go through, and when you look back on it, it won't be all that fuss that it originally was.

Depends.  If you're a little shy, it's so cute but if you're so shy you can't go out in public it is a turn off.  The kind of shy where you blush a little but are still holding your own is perfect.

You sound pretty normal to me. Forget trying to be model thin. It really isn't worth it. You are a girl and girls are suppose to have curves. It's what separates you from the boys.Be proud of any curves you have.

I used to be just like that. but you dont really get over being shy, you jsut get better at being outgoing. the first thing i did was join a club that takes you all over the U.S., it's called FFA. I got a job and it was a waitress at a bar. so there are many opportunities there. just go up and talk to the guy, any guy, it's how i did it and now im still shoy to an extent, but hey, im get out there and i have fun while chatting up some hottie. so jsut break away and strike up a conversation with some random guy, like a guy from school, in the grocery store...anywhere...even in the mall. it works.

Dear dear teenager, \nI went to private school all 14 years of my education and I loved it.  If you were popular at your private school I feel certain that you will be fine at your new school.  Here's the thing: you are nervous about being in a bigger group.  I went to school with the same 100 or so people for over a decade, and I still got nervous every year on the first day of school.  Was I wearing a cool outfit?  Was my hair ok?  Everyone has these kinds of feelings.  What you need to worry about most at this time in your life is who you are and what you consider important in your life.  The groups or "clicks" at this new school may totally be something that you are not into, and that is nothing to be ashamed of I assure you.  Be yourself dearest, and you will be great I am certain.  Don't be afraid to be who you are and how you act.  \nBE YOURSELF -- everyone will love you\n\ngood luck

Ok well...I think as long as you try to get over your shyness and whatnot, youll make it. As far as making friends, maybe...are you interested in other things besides basketball? Like, things you could do with other people? Maybe if your school has other clubs or groups or whatever you could join one you like to meet people. Keep your head up and smile at people. Thats a great way to make people feel more comfortable around you. If you always look at the floor and just sort of sit there, its not too encouraging for them you dig? I dunno, maybe ask people to play basketball with you somewhere outside of school?\n\nAs for your getting sad when people talk about you...Eh, dont worry about it. Its just a normal part of High School. Everyone gets talked about at one point or another. Its really nothing to get worked up over believe me. Just do your best to smile and be nice to everyone. When people talk to you, dont give like...one word answers and then look away. Do your best to be friendly and people will most likely return it. I think thats pretty much all the advice I can give you. But if you need more help, feel totally free to contact me and ask. Without bragging too much, I'm very good at helping people with these kinds of problems. So, good luck to you!\n\n\nPeace

I'll tell you like this: Do you. If thats how you want to express yourself then go for what you know. If a boy isn't interested in you then thats his business. But don't let that make you question your style or your personality. I've had girls turn me down because I wear black or white T's and I look like a thug. But thats how I dress and if they don't like it oh well. I'm a good man and its they're loss. I'm sure you're a good woman so be about you. Don't be concerned with what other girls or boys say. The girls are hatin because you're different and the boys are intimidated because you have the nerve to be different.

The way you're going about it will even fetch you more enemies than if you had to tell the guys an outright NO.  If they eventually find out that you have a lot of them in class, they'll see you as a wayward girl which you're not.  Sit up and know what you want girl and stick to it even if it does not go down well with some. If not, you might end up being every guy's babe. I'm sure you know what that means....a bad reputation.

No. The first thing they make you learn when you go to an art/design school is how to draw. Good news is, ANYBODY can learn how to draw well. It's simply a mechanical thing. You don't need a "talent" for it. So if ad. design is where your heart is. Go for it!

DDR would, but you also have to eat right.  She wants you to take the initiative.  Do your research.  An you do NOT have to be skinny to be a model.  Please remember that.  Modeling is not just about how you look, but about how you act and how you hold yourself.
