"Live your own life, that's the best advice I can give anyone"
well I guess thats good advice. I usually have good advice for others, but my advice is usually "talk to your friends" of which I have none. but I guess it all depends on what mood I am in. my most recent message, and this one, I am pretty happy!
smile
so I guess I will be fine untill the fact I am un-cool gets rudley shoved in my face yet once more.
BTW. thanx for all replying to this thread. the first post was mostley just chatter cause I was depressed at the time. I know I have many friends here

Weimer don't worry about it. there are other people who have worse lives than you such as homeless people and hungry peoplr. I go through this annual phase in March in which I think the world is against me. It sometimes goes into early April but I'm out of it now. It'll probably hapeen in another 11 months, but I'm leaving Jr. High and going to a high school where about 2 people will know me.

if you dont mind, let me turn some of this around at you and your
situation
I think that people, like me, and your daughter, that, will have difficult
lives. I have already had things come crashing down on top of me,
and learnt how to deal with it. except, I was 14 and dident have a job
to loose, or family I couldent support, but what I learnt back then can
be put to good use if it ever happens again when I am older. kinda like
vetran status, after an attack you become a vetran, I am sure you
would like a unit to become a vetran when in a small attack when
your city is 2, rahter then in a large attack on the same city when it
is 10 and rather important.
also, I think that the more things that happen to you, the more you
learn, and the more your learn, the more you live. hence the phrase
"whats the point of living if you cant do anything stupid", right
imagine how boring life would be if you just coasted through it. things
like this add spice to life, make it worthwile.
Lemme tell you a very short story. there is a girl that I really like,
Kendra, but she hates me. she is cool and popular, {and blonde
}and dosent want to be seen any where around me, even walking to
the other side of the hall when I am coming. it hurts when she does
that, but I lean to expect it and live with it.
I know that my life might be difficult now, I am just waiting for when I
am 30, happily married to the woman I love, and Kendra comes
knocking at my door with her 11 kids, asking for help cause she has
been divorced for the 5th time people in situations like mine learn
how important true love really is
well anyways, I am ok. I hope this lets you understand people like us
a little better. my goal is to help people who are un-pouplar, and if
anything I said helps your daughter that would be great.
good luck to you and your daughter

I'm 18, two years down the road from you Weimar and am currently a senior.
1. My "social" life is slow, thought it improved this year: I have not had a girlfriend. There was once this girl I liked, but she already liked an older guy, so that was that. But then again, I just started going to parties this year. They're fun, but not the spectacular things we are led to believe. I casually drank for the first time this year (a. Don't tell anyone
b. Remember, know your limit, don't drink to impress, and for godsakes, don't drive!).
2. I feels as though what I've given up in social life I've made up in achievement. I got into Cornell. Now I'm not saying go after your grades, and study away without worrying about life (and I don't really overstudy, for example, I should preparing for a Physics test right now
). And remember, there is always college, where it will be less clicky, and you will mix with different groups.
3. A line from Shakespeare. "To thine own self be true." I don't wear Abercrombie and Fitch, and don't try to stay in the latest style. Instead, I wear what I find is comfortable. I hang out with the "nerds" the group most like me, and don't try to be with the "cool" ones. And I'm proud not to compromise my own beliefs to be cool. In essense, be the kind of person you can be proud of, and not the person you would want to brag about.
4. Listen to the "Wall", and know never to end up like "Pink".

Weimar, most of the advice and encouragement on this thread has been good, but I would add one thing. You said your only goal was to get a girlfriend. Drop that one like a hot potato, my friend!!! When I got to college, I had recently broken up with my first girlfriend of over a year, and I desperately wanted another girlfriend (not that I would have admitted it at the time). I went through a series of rejections and very short-lived relationships. Finally I got so tired of being dumped that I sort of gave up in disgust. That was about the time I started studying with this girl in one of my classes. We became friends, started hanging out a lot, and then one day listening to a song (at a different girl's house, ironically) I suddenly realized I was in love with this girl. This September we will celebrate 15 years of marriage together
The point is I didn't get a girlfriend until I stopped looking for one. The thing is, at that point I would have been okay even if I hadn't met my future wife. Getting a girlfriend is a goal destined to make your life miserable. Give it up, find a more worthwhile goal, and it likely will come to you in it's own way. Believe it or not, there is far more to life than girls

well, Goodbye_Mr_Bond sent me a PM that suggested that University is similar to High School in that cool people are cool.
so now that I know this, leowind, I have no choice but to take your advice. what the point of trying to achive somehthing you will never achive? dont say "you can do anything you put your mind to" I am sure the American Nazi Party and American Communist Party have put thier minds to winning the election. they never will... hopefully.
Anyways, I get 80's from about 15 minutes of studying before exams. so now that I have this extra time to do school work my marcks will go up to about 98 or 97, an if I give it my all, maybe I can get 99, or even, if I am lucky 100 on my report card.
well, atleast James Buchanan proved that you CAN become the leader of your country without being married... you guys probably never heard of him...
but he was the Prisedent before Lincoln.

Yes, if he had been a much stronger President, instead of inflaming the situation by supporting the Lecompton constitution and the Dred Scott Decision, we might have avoided civil war.
Still, point well taken. In fact, he was chosen because he was an "outsider", previously being an ambassador somewhere (I think Great Britain, but I'm not sure).
I didn't mean to get you depressed about it, though...
However, if you truly want to succeed, and be prime minister or whatever, you do have to spend some time studying people, and how they react to others. It's not enough to say, "I'm going to be like this and only hang out with people like me and screw everyone else's opinions." Not even dictators succeed that way.
You need to be respected by a wide range of people, many of whom do not like each other. The only way to do that is to try to relate a little bit with everyone. And to do that, one needs to make oneself at least 'not uncool' to each group, whatever those groups may consider uncool.
So, while I don't think you need to take girls off your list of future experiences, you might want to reconsider a career in politics...

well I have already decided its in my best intrest to become a techer as opposed to a politican. if I DO go into politics it would be at MLA level, and in PEI there are only 127,000 people, with 27 representives, so it would be rather easy to get a seat there if I so choose.

Amen!
People should try to stop worrying about girls. There are more females than males so there are plenty to go round!<IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/smile.gif" border=0>
This has been mentioned before but i`ll say it againBE YOURSELF. You may not like yourself but thats who you are. Keeping up an act to impress girls and geting them to like you is pathetic.
You may think that no one will like you the way you are but you would be suprised at how many girls could be just like you.

is it so wrong?
I read somewhere that you shouldent sell yourself short cause you need to feel wanted, loved, or have a sance of belonging. even someone had a friend who had sex just so she could feel wanted.
I ran it through the imaginary senate in my head, and they came to a decision:
that I cant risk NOT going all-out with the first girl that likes me. they even have supported a claim that I will live a life as a virtual slave, where she yells at me all day, and tells me what to do, and takes my money... so long as she loves me, I would do it...
is that so wrong?

Weimar,
If that's what you want it's not 'wrong' - but after awhile you might find it's not worth it. From my experience if you let people treat you like a door mat you won't get any respect - ergo your self esteem will go through the floor. I know from my own experience at your age how important it was (at the time) to have a girl friend, it's really difficult but be patient! Just because you can't see the path ahead doesn't mean it won't happen.

Dude, you want a woman? You gotta strut your stuff. Walk around like you are the king of the world, and you know it. Don't be arrogant and rude in conversation, don't shove people out of your way, don't even go out of your way to draw attention to yourself. Just strut your stuff.
I am 31, and not at all what I'd consider attractive, but day before yesterday, I remembered my friend Rob's admonition to 'strut my stuff', stopped moping and looking at the ground while I walked, put a warm, confident smile on my face, and boldy strode into a convience store.
Imagine my utter shock, when the rather pretty girl behind the counter struck up a conversation with ME! We chatted for a couple minutes, and I left, but the only reason I didn't have her number in my pocket was because I didn't ask for it.
(If you're wondering why, well, she was cute enough, but she lives in a town that is well known for having a lot of cute dropouts, and she probably has a kid stashed away at home. I know I am not ready to be a father.)
So what I'm trying to say is, you want a girlfriend, you gotta strut.

"Have you ever wanted something so badly that it possessed your body and your soul through the night and through the day? And then you finally get it, and you realize it wasn't what you wanted after all. And then those selfsame, sickly little thoughts now go and attach themselves to something (or somebody) new! And the whole goddamned thing starts all over again."

Hey, don't worry about it at all. It was hard this year to make the transition from private school to public school mostly because I had only one friend along with me. I've become kind of the crazy politico on campus, but I still have a few friends I was fortunate enough to even meet (some by a weird chance of fate.) The relationships (i.e girlfriends) I've had this year haven't worked out all that well, but I hope that in the future I will handle them better. Just keep doing what you've been doing, maybe be a little more open to people and ideas, but that's really all the advice I can give you. I hope things work out for you.

Trust me Ohwell, wallowing in the depression and worries of others is no way to bring your spirits up. To know that there are others in your same predicament is uplifting since nobody wants to be an outcast and commonalities shared with others bring about some social unity (something almost every human seeks).
I've been where you are and the only way you're ever going to get yourself out of a rut will be by placing some effort into doing the things that would be most logical/practical/rational in well attaining some self-peace. You can get a hand from others but don't expect them to pull you entirely out of the mud.
When others fail you, rely on yourself.
