Answer 1

Try lifting weights.  It's an easy thing to get into and it'll get you chicks if you keep it up.  People will be too intimidated to make fun of you and you'll be rocking your new guns when you go to school.  As far as the social thing goes, observe and practice in the mirror.  If you have a video camera, video tape yourself to see what you look like.  Practice body language.  For example...pretend you just won something, how would you react?  

Answer 2

I'm a 19 year old female.

Craigslist.com is a pretty decent way to meet friends.

I never really get along with other girls- but via CL, I managed to meet two girls who have come to be very good friends of mine.

I understand the self-esteem struggle.

To be honest with you, I think all of us do to some extent.

My parents told me day in and day out that I was going to be a failure.

I'm not really even sure how I managed to evade extreme depression.

Every so often I will get in a cynical funk, but I always come out of it. I'm inherently optimistic, luckily for me.

Do you have any talents of hobbies?

I'm a photographer and I use that as a means of meeting people.

If you knit, sew, draw, sing, play an instrument... Find other people who enjoy the same. It will be an easy topic of conversation and you can go from there.
