My mom says she wants to keep me safe, and I understand that, but many other parents want their kids to be safe, and they are still allowed to use social media. My family recently moved to a new state, so I’d like to have a quick and easy way to stay in touch with my friends and old classmates. by keepitsecret << March 17 08:20 p.m. Hi there, I am extremely shy and quiet. When I go to a party, everyone is having fun talking and laughing with each other, but nobody usually speaks to me. That’s really boring. I would like to be more friendly, but I can’t think of anything meaningful to say so I keep quiet. I don’t want to change who I am, but I want to make more friends and get closer to students in my class. Can you tell me how to? by musicwolf203 << April 12 10:07 p.m. Tests make me really nervous.

Then I have to do the test again. This makes me even more nervous. Do you know how to be calm and normal? Most of the people in my class usually pass the first time. Do you think they will laugh at me? I’m so scared of getting laughed at. Search … POST REPLY POST REPLY POST REPLY Am I really such a wallflower? I freak out at tests Why don’t they let me Facebook?
