Answer 1

Those days were hard... my advice is to stay positive. Don't be overly shy. If someone smiles smile back. There will be points where the teacher will tell you to get into small groups, this is your time to shine. From what you are saying here it might be easier for you to be less shy in a smaller group than a larger group. Keep your confidence in your appearance and everything you do. Once you are confident you are pretty much untouchable. Think of what makes you so self conscious learn to change it into a positive...if you dont love you no one else will. go to class do what you gotta do which is listen and when the bell rings get out... in between periods make it a point to catch some friends in passing to chat before the next class... you will be fine... I am not sure what you mean when you say you dont have what you need for tomorrow but my last piece of advice is to be you individual and unique.
