HS = Not as bad as you think

[This Times For Real]

hey. Today was my first day of hs. I have a few questions maybe you can help me out. ill state them here before telling you how my day went

1.Talking to people in general is kind of hard to me.I mean I can talk to them but i cant get passed a few questions and comments. How do I keep a convo going in general? It seems that some people dont really want to talk much to me, maybe even some annoyed, but maybe thats just me. I just want to know how to keep a convo flowing with any person in general.


2.Is it just my hs but are all your high schools not alow you to wear shorts? Wtf is up with that?! Its FL yo, it gets hot. All i own are shorts and now I have to run out and quickly buy pants before I get into trouble.

Ok so today I wake up at 5:30 in the morning and get ready by 6. my bus comes at 6 49 and i dont really know where it is so I leave to find it. I meet some guy in 11th and he told me where it was. So more people start cfoming and Ime being a naturally shy person dont want to talk to anyone but then I remember this site and that you must take risks. So I just start off getting into these peoples convos and what not. I made it a goal to try to talk to alot of people. I didnt talk to to many girls but I did talk to a few and made alot of eye contact. In fact I got a number. *well the teacher kind of asked everyone to exchange numbers with sum 1 else but no 1 was really doing it and this girl coiuld of done it with any 1 else but I asked her and she even gave me her SN.* So I looked at any girl I found a bit attractive untill they looked away, no smiling yet, not confident enough in my face and my teeth. But I got real pissed when I found out I couldent wear god damn shorts *wtf?* now I am gonna go buy some pants. Anyway please take look at my questions and see if you can help me out?

1)come up with questions to ask, listen to what they say and ask question about tinhgs they mention, if you ask where are you fomr oringally and they say florida, you colud say and whats florida like? just make conversation like this, but rmember to say a bit aobut yourself aswell, its a conversation not an interveiw, talk 30% of the itme and let them talk 70% especialy with girls, and keep the topic about the other person as people like to talk about themselves, you do not want to bore them. you could discus hobbies, ask people questions aobut there old schools, infact anything, although when you first talk to some one
be more specific start with like hi how are you, you cold say "so tell me a bit about your self"

2) im not from the USA at the equivilent of high school we wear a uniform, in college we cna wear shorts if we want, but thats england not USA

hope iv been a help

1. I would agree with checkmatekid. If it's closed campus, ask what the cafeteria foods like. At my HS that can launch a 30 min debate on which foods are the best and worst. (We only have one option most days). Talk about school sports and events. Find one the popular, friendly older guys and talk to him. If he gives a (positive) nickname or something like that to you then you are well on your way.

2. LOL I live in Oklahoma and we can wear shorts year round here. Unless your grung or something then get some relaxed fit Levis, they look new for a long time and are very comfortable. Since your probably not a redneck like me then Wrangler's and boots are out of the question .

Hope I helped.

is not a private school. Lol and listen to this, girls can wear dresses but I cant wear shorts that go well below my knees. If that ***** has any problems with it ill jus tell him that not all of us have that kind of money to just run out in 1 day and buy like 10 pairs of pants. That bastrad actually told me that I better go shopping that night. Him and his expensive suit. Stupid rich people. Hes the only 1 who had aproblem with my shorts too.



Edit: anyway after coming back from the mall today and not finding any cool looking pants for me I talked to this girl ike it was nothing. Though i did sound kind of like a pu$$y when I said "nice to meet you". But its better than sitting there and not sayin ****e at all.

2nd day at school

So today was a bit worse or better in a few ways. Ill list my questions before the story here...

1. I still cant find someone to chill with at lunch. I mean what am I suppose to do? Find someone I know and follow them around? Everyone has there own group of friends cause 90% of them came from the same middle school. How do I just hang wit someone?

2.Why are hot girls ****ing retards?


3. People look at me alot. It could be either good or bad. Could it just be I have a habit of looking at people directly in the eye till they look away? I dont smile yet though. Would probably get better results from girls.

4. After talking to a hb 7 I didnt walk to class with her or say bye because i wanted to sort of be a challenge, was this right?

So anyway, I put on my pimp gear and did my hair and went to skool. I didnt really talk to anyone at the bus stop cause there were like 20 people there all jiuniors sophies. In my first period I said hi to a few people and I even had this little conversation with a hb about 7. I used the lil trick about asking then taking a noun and asking a question about it. It was ok. I didnt say bye or anything like walk to class with her cuz I wanted to be like a challenge or mysterious. Was that the right thing to do? After that I went to 2nd per and I sat with this 1 kid I met in lunch. This spanish ho sat to my left and I ment to strike up a convo but I couldent bring myself to even though I made some eye contact. I talked to a few dude s in taht class though about the gym and brazilian people. I had to introduce myself and I thought in my head no prob but my voice gam out shaky like a lil bish. Dunno if any one noticed but I repeated myself twice. thats ok though. I made a comment that made the class laugh about me still needin to drop a few pounds and I guess taht shows im comfortable with myself and its ok because I pointed out my goal to get in shape anyway. So it was lunch time and I was walking around when the assistant principle caught me wearing shorts again and threatened to kick me out the school. I told him I didnt have enough money tro buy ****ing pants and he told me to goto wal mart. anyway hes a douche. I let that confrontation get to me and remained pissed the whole lunch and just chilled by a wall bymeself with the people who were by them selves. (not exactly losers incredibly) In the process I met some dude in the bath room that I was *****ing to about the shorts thing. He like wanted to chill with me I think but like I dont know how to do that ****e it felt really awkward. I jus told him I was gonna go look for someone and peaced him out.


Thats a big problem, I cant get to the point where I can really chill with people. I dont know how and it sucks. All these people Im metting are like older and If I could get to know them better I would probably get higher social status and popularity.

Anyway I wasnt the same through out the whole day. I was kind of slipping back into afc when I woke myself up to the point where I could talk to some people a bit more. After that was last period and I didnt do much that period at all but make lots of eye contact and there were alot of people looking at me for some reason?

So any help?


Edit: Oh yeah. Normally when I say sup or nod my head to like be like hey to a guy theyll to it back and maybe even talk a bit. There was this 1 dude who didnt do it bac ka nd just stared at me. I just kind of blew it off. What an a hole.
