it seems i can find no way of regaining the respect/trust of many of the people i know at school. some people make others laugh by doing something, but if a different kind of person did the same thing, they would hurl abuseat him/her. i'm a middle of the road type person. i'm neither popular nor despised.
i don't like the way things are at school, and i don't want to be particularly popular, just someone who can be leaned on by people at times. i hate my character, because i dont show my true colours. im either walking differently to my normal stance to look 'cool' or just doing things i'd probably never do normally. i also get paranoid about people seeing my boxers/pants underneath my trousers.
it's for these reasons i've desperately tried to change my appearance. working out, showering much more than usual, or growing my hair, but nothing really hits the spot. I hate my moles, aswell, and i'm ashamed of this, even though they are only about 2mm thick, they annoy me because they're dotted around my face - about 7 or 8. It's not recently i've been ashamed of my appearance, but the fact that my hormones are about to go berserk has amplified this. whenever i see a girl i know from school (particularly if it's someone i can't help having feelings for), i just wan't to be able to go out and talk, but it's just not gonna happen. i feel like such a fool. And whenever i see a 'popular' lad, it makes me sick, because they're just morons, and i can't get round the way it's turned out, because i'm not a bad person.
Today, i was out in town with my mum and sister (who's 21), and we only wen't there for them to look for another bed for my bro, and me to go to a stationary shop to look for art things, and so they got sidetracked, and looked around tarty women's shops. Then, to my horror i see 4 girls i know from school, and i'm thinking 'oh S***'. they KNEW i were there.
One of the major things i'm ashamed of is my nature. i stay indoors all day, trying to avoid going out, and when i do i get extremely nervous and try to stay out of visibility.
i need help.

I wouldn't worry about being popular; the fact that the morons become popular shows that the people they're popular with are also morons. It's the way it works I'm afraid.

At the end of your school life the spoonjobs have all left to sign on with the DSS and you end up with a group of people all looking to get an education.
Until then you have to put up with the nutters and look forward to better days.

Listen to this man - He's correct.
Towards the end of your schooling life you get to know everyone - And everyone's ok to you. It gets better - Don't worry.
Getting ya results on Thursday Ant? I'm bricking myself!

it's not popularity i'm specifically after, just a position where i get along with others.

my dad said something that really makes sense to me once. he said:
"only the squeaky wheels get oiled, y'know"
i was talking to him how the troublemakers in the school get rewarded for behaving, whereas normal, high-performing people like us get diddly-squat.

i forgot to mention that he is only liked by the odd pupil, and by all the teachers. the odd supply teacher that tells him off is rare, but so enjoyable when he picks on the kid.

that's exactly what i mean. a Kid in my form, Adam albrighton, got a GCSE for music in the end of year 8. he plays piano and violin, so as if he's a stereotypic person, he's posh, a real snob, has the fashion sense of a donkey (none, but luckily wears clothes) and very, very touchy.

It's the same everywhere mate...I'm 16 and just finished Year 11 so I would imagine you're younger than me, and I have to say it does work out okay. I felt exactly the same in the earlier years at school but it soon works out and trust me, in the next couple of years, especially when you enter 10 and 11, you'll end up knowing most people in your year. It gets a lot easier so just get through this bit.
