Search Results: gaining confidence

my friend Jessica was telling me that we should all do what the hell we want to in high school she told me that we should all have no regrets once we leave she said if you want to be in the popular crowd, be nice outgoing funny and to be nice and don't be afraid to be who you are. don't be afraid of your confidence, if you like a guy tell him because you never know what he might say! If you like a guy that has a girlfriend tell him because nothing in high school lasts anyway, she graduated last year and she told me that the second she was handed her high school diploma all of the high school drama disintegrated. None of it mattered anymore. people always talk about how high school is such a small part of your life and to not let what you do in high school to find you because you are still finding yourself and Jessica said that is true she tell me that after high school is over with you will probably never see 90% of those people again in your entire life. Honestly that was probably the best advice I've ever gotten in my life. I usually go to high school with barriers made up of a fear of rejection I have barriers emotional walls. Once Jessica gave me this lecture those barriers were broken once I decided not to care what anyone else thought of me and gain confidence. High School has become a better place for me, more people want to be my friend and not because I am mean or a bully but because I am nice and down to earth and outgoing and I do not discriminate against anyone. I do some things that I'm not proud of... but they will not be one of my regrets. When I look back at high school I'm pretty sure I'll be glad that I did it because right now I'm glad that I'm doing it.
