People at my school scare me?

And I don't know why. On Instagram and twitter and stuff, not as much during classes.. They always have so many pictures and followers and likes, etc on everything. Most girls post pics of themselves half naked or whatever. I've always been a bit curvy, not like I'd do anything like that, but the lack of maturity and self respect they have is shocking. They make me feel so insecure and bad about myself, it's awful. Even in person, in classes and such, I'm always nervous that I'll be laughed at for no apparent reason. I just sit and do the work and go home. I spend pretty much all my time at home, I only hang out with my friends once every few months.. Also, a lot of boys in my class always "flirt" with me, because I'm a quiet nerdy girl, and I never know how to react.. Ughh.. What should I do to avoid feeling this way anymore? Also, what do I do about the weird boys..? I'm 14, by the way.

you must learn to love yourself. Never bring yourself down. Look on everything as a laugh. Be yourself because you sound like a really nice person. That was me at 14 along with millions of other girls. You'll be fne.

It's good that you are aware of the problems that posting stuff online can cause. Life will get better, as people mature. Try to be patient, focus on your studies, don't visit websites that get you down. There may be a youth group at one of your local churches where you could make new friends. Remember the only person you need to be afraid of is God.

I can really relate to you! I used to be like that.. until I started High School. Back to your problem. You shouldn't feel bad or insecure about yourself. You should be proud of yourself. You have a bright future. Sure you might think that the girls your age are better than you but you don't really know what they're like and the things that they have to go through. Now onto the boys. I used to get really nervous when guys would talk to me. I would blush.. No joke. Then ( well now) that I'm in High School and there's more people, I just feel normal partly because there are a lot of cute guys... Just sayin'. Anyways, everything just gets easier. Don't worry. Keep your head held high. Do positive things and positive things will come to you. Hope this helped (:
