My boyfriend is the shyest kid I know; he has extremely high functioning autism and therefore lacks social skills. But he still has a lot of friends and opens up a lot once he's comfortable with you. :)

Great. Well, at least I'm extremely nice. I hope I stand a chance in high school. I'm tiny, and some high school girls are bitches. They'd most likely enjoy taking a few punches at me because they "can" Haha

a chance at what--happiness? shy kids can still find happiness, can still be perfectly content with themselves. if popularity is what you're implying here...of what use is popularity? it's not a life-or-death sort of thing. i myself am a shy person and am perfectly content with a handful of close friends. high school sucks for a lot of different people, and, shy or not, every teenager has extremely insecure moments. we live in this world where it's okay to be ridiculously loud and boisterous because i guess you're carpe dieming the bitch or whatever or you just put yourself all out there and that's to be admired in some respect. quiet people don't have that general support from society. i'm in high school right now--only weeks left, thank god--and i must say that while i wasn't very popular in the least i'm ultimately happy with the decisions i've made. if you stay positive the world spins for you, towards you--shy or not. we're where we're meant to be.

(lovelyNot necessarily popularity but if someone is so shy that they aren't social at all and talk to no one the they aren't going to be happy without friends.

What do you mean by "stand a chance" I was really shy in high school but it was still one off the best times of my life. I pretty much never talked but I had friends and no one hated me and I was never bullied at all.

Well I'm a pretty shy introverted person, but I still have plenty of friends. and its not because I'm super cool and sexy and have designer jeans. Its because people generally like to be around me. being shy doesn't mean you have no social life.

I'm very shy, and I have a close group of friends who I hang around with everyday. I think it's just a different experience, you know? You may not have a through-the-roof party every weekend but you also tend to stay out of the wrong crowds. It's...safe. For me, anyway. Which can be a blessing in high school.

My friend is very shy, but we've all been friends since primary school so she's never really needed to branch out and stop being so shy. Everyone likes her though because she's the nicest person you'll ever meet.

Define "chance". Chance could mean social, in that case, you're right. Chance could mean successful (clubs, grades, etc), in that case, you're wrong. I know plenty of shy kids who became presidents or officers of 300+ member clubs. They made the cut because they had talent.

300+ member clubs?! Wow, how big is your school? I go to a school with over 2800 students but our biggest club (French) barely has 100 kids.

This kind of goes with the post about how "confidence is sexy." Nothing wrong with being shy. However, I have learned that when you break out of that "shell" it is kind of scary, but somewhat cool. Like trust me, it can be a weird experience to get out of that barrier we put with others by being shy, but it's cool to do it once in a while. I have broken, and am still breaking in some ways, out of being shy and it is kind of cool and scary of course. You do put yourself up for criticism easier but if you stay consistently with it, you get over it easier. Just trust in yourself and have that self confidence. I am a example of somebody who was very shy and am now moving away from that. Self confidence is key and not over caring about what others think. Trust in yourself and have patience too. This isn't an over night thing but takes time. Slowly put yourself out there, maybe asking 2 questions in class a day then progress each week. This is will help TREMENDOUSLY, Trust me.

Why? Some kids in my school were shy and quiet, and because of this they were never involved in any drama, or at least they didn't make a scene about it. They just faded into the background. And maybe nobody really knew who they were, but that's better than being known for the wrong reasons.

I'm in my last year of high school and I'm pretty shy. I used to walk through the halls invisible (how i like it) but now since I pretty much know all of the juniors and most of the sophomores, much more people will say hi or try to talk between a class periods. So shy freshmen (and shy 8th graders if you even go on this site), I stood a chance in high school and even though I'm more shy than the popular crowd I have friends.

I agree, considering I read this post from the bathroom stall where I was spending my lunch. :D
