I agree w/ Mikhail (sorry if spelled wrong) about the attitude.\nSTOP going in thinking I'm a loser, You've got to have a I'm a WINNER attitude. At the same time maintaining some kind of\nhumility.

lots of campaigning, make plenty of posters, be clear and concise on what you plan to do to better the school, conversate with your peers, oh and being popular doesnt hurt (most high school elections are popularity contests anyway)...have fun and good luck...also its not the end of the world if you lose...so dont stress...

Try and spend more time getting to know yourself. What makes you happy. Be comfortable with yourself, school is one big popularity contest, don't buy into it. Spend more time making yourself happy than worrying about guys. It's not who you love, but who loves you.

if people can't accept you as you are you shouldnt change. then they will accept you for being fake. if you are talking about high school, it will pass. just be mature and think about what matters more, like a career and life ahead of you.

Tired of being the shy person in the back of the crowd? Become the center of attention at an easy, personalized pace! \n\nSteps \nBe confident. Tell yourself that you have great qualities, and don't let anybody bring you down! \n\nSet goals for yourself. Focus on small, daily goals, and gradually become more daring. E.g. try to speak at least once every class period. \n\nIntroduce yourself to new people each day. Most people are nice and will be welcoming to your advances. It is also great practice for more daring behavior, such as talking to cute people. \n\nHold close bonds with your friends, they can be there for you when you crack out of the shell! They'll be glad to help. \n\nTry doing stuff you never dreamed you would. For example: Talk to that cute boy in study hall that you thought would never notice you. Wear something very flattering and colorful to show what a fun person you really are! \n\nLaugh often, at your own jokes and those of others. It will help ease any tension you may be feeling. \n\nLie on your bed and take 3 deep breaths. Then visualize a situation where you might be shy. Now in that situation make yourself confident. Do this for as many situations as you can think of. Do this daily. Do this in the morning. \n\nRepeat positive affirmations using I statements. " I am a wonderful person". "I am a good looking person". Do it even if you don't believe it. Do it daily. \n\nMake a list of things that make you feel shy that you want to try and work on. Order them so that those things that cause you the least anxiety are first and those that cause you the most anxiety are last. Once you have a list of 10-15 stressful situations start working through them, one-by-one. The first few "easier" situations will help build your confidence so that you can continue moving to more difficult situations on your list. Don't worry if you have to go backwards on the list sometimes -- take it at your own pace but do make an effort to push yourself. \n\nTips \nThere's nothing wrong with being shy, but there's nothing wrong with being outgoing either! \n\nDon't go overboard, and just be yourself! Life isn't a competition! \n\nShyness is sometimes seen as classy. \n\nDon't be afraid to seek professional help -- group counseling, individual counseling, and therapy can help you along the way. \n\nIf you are intelligent enough to know when to keep your mouth closed, then there is no advantage to being shy. Rid yourself of shyness, you'll thank yourself later. \n\nOften, being shy is a result of feeling inferior to or otherwise "less than" other people. Think about it, this is almost never the case. A positive self-image is the key. \n\nWarnings \nIf you were known for being shy amongst family members, watch out for the harmless teasing. They mean well. But don't let them scare you back into your shell! \n\nSame goes for people at school, if you are still at school. Some may be uncomfortable with you existing outside the categeory they've put you in, in their own minds. Ignore them.

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

Don't hate yourself.  That's not going to help.  Love yourself, and then go out and take charge of your life.  Go to school, get a good job, feel the pride.  But you have to love yourself enough to be able to take the first step.

Just be yourself. Be honest to yourself and to others. Do not do things that are out of your comfort level in order to make new friends. In other words find people who have the same likes and dislikes as you do. Never compromise yourself. I had to move to a new town when I was a sophomore in highschool. It was very difficult but it would have been easier if I were honest to myself. Be smart!

Oh no, its not even close to what you're saying. Here's a few things you should know:\n\n1. There is no such thing as a bully. No one will beat you for your lunch money or anything like that. You might, however have enemies. But that's okay. If you hear someone takl bad about you, just brush it off. If you don't give them attention then they will just stop. I did this with a girl I didn't even know who hated me, and she eventually shut up since I wasn't reacting. he best thign to do is not to care, because if you do then it will cause drama.\n\n2. Friends are extremely important in middle school. Keep the ones you already have but make news ones as well. Make sure to treat everyone with respect. And also watch out for leeches, people who just like you because they mooch off you for money and homework. Help people out if they need a lend, but make sure they pay you back. If they don't stop lending. And let people see your homework, but make sure that if they take they give a little too and help you in a tight spot.\n\n3. Homework may be a little heavier than before, but don't sweat it. Usually it helps to pay attention in class, that way you don't have to study so hard or cram for tests. And make sure to know your classes well and make yuor schedule fit the classes that need the most work and the classes that are easy. Remember: NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES think you can do all your homework before nine when you start at eight. Unless your homework is nothing, then it will take you longer. Also, if you have a light workload and have a project due in awhile make time for that so you won't do an entire project in one night. Those tend to be really bad.\n\nJust be smart and keep your friends. If you're having a tough week make some time for a nap or relaxing. It will help out a lot. The best thing to do is have one long bubble bath every week along with the usual showers. \n\nIt may seem complicated now, but don't sweat the small stuff. It comes naturally after a month or two.

Think of what you are good at doing, what your strong points are. EVERYONE has strong points.  Make a list.  Post it where you can see it everyday.  That way, every day you are giving yourself a little pat for having pretty eyes, helping around the house, whatever.\n\nDo not allow yourself to think anything negative about you.  If you pull a bad grade on a test, it is one test.  You'll do better on the next one.  You are not a failure.  \n\nIf there is someone in your life who is making snide or belittling comments and that person is not a relative, that person does not need to be in your life right now.\n\nBuild more positive relationships.  If there is a subject you excel in, ask your teacher if she needs a student tutor.  Join clubs, school activities and/or do volunteer work.  It doesn't matter if you are too shy to do anything other than attend in the beginning.  Just be a part of it, and you will find yourself gaining confidence by watching the others.\n\nBe sure to congratulate yourself every time you reach out to help another person, or volunteer for a project.  It takes confidence and maturity to go beyond safety.\n\nAfter awhile, you will find you have made a habit of doing more, and that you have built confidence in yourself.\n\nGood luck!

How about this one: "I'm O.K., You're O.K.". It's an old book but many times underachieving is caused by low self-esteem. Good luck.

School can be lame, but it is a necessary lameness.  I hated High School until I started getting involved with something that I really liked and wanted to get into professionally.  So, look for something that might spark an interest and then you can focus on moving toward that as you get into college.  Good luck.

Just be yourself if people like you they like you if they dont then they dont. Stay true to yourself and you'll make it through high school. Good luck and enjoy the time believe me it'll go by faster than you want it to.
