Social Science - 26 October 2007

I am a high school freshman who is very quiet and shy.
I was a happier and more confident person as a child because I didn't need to worry about too many things.
But now that I'm a little more mature, I've been realizing the problems in our family and I've been dealing with high school.

It is very hard for me to keep a good self-esteem because of the people I'm around, and the things I'm experiencing.
I feel that my friends are a lot prettier and confident than me, and they get more attention which really bugs me.
I know that at an age like this, people could be really shallow and just look at the physical appearances of others.

So, I'm wondering, how can I slowly break out of my shell, and into a more confident person? :)

Sex Repressions ...?

I live in a country where somethings are totally refused by community ... Sex relationships are Totally forbidden outside the marriage frame , Masturbation is forbidden too -before and after marriage- , and I don't think visiting "Night Clubs" is allowed too ....

U may say , ok Go ahead and marry then , well u see ... I can't for many reasons ... First , cause marriage age is 22-30 here , and since am only 20 then I have to bear for 2 -if not more- years...
second , marriage requirements are really above average , u need about 55 000 US$ -300 000 in our currency- to start ur marriage life , if I am a graduated student , then I will earn about 270$ a month -1500 in ours- u can take half of that for my normal expanses even if I continued to live with my parents, if we simply calculated that -putting in consideration raises and stuff- then after I graduate at the age of 21 I will be able to marry at the age of 27 ,

Often times, people criticize a person as being arrogant after he or she preaches his or her accomplishments. However, most of the time, a person is just gratied for what he or she attained. So, what then is the basis and the margin between a proud and an arrogant human? Does this mean that every time we accomplish something, we should keep it within our selves? Should we encapsulate ourselves in order to stay away from the defamers?

How would you view suicide, if someone did it for the sake of finding out what happens after you die.

I fear to offend anyone that's why I always try my best to please them. Sometimes it makes me feel good, but sometimes it also make me feel bad and tired. I'm sick of it but i can't avoid it! Though it does help me to gain friends, it had also caused me losing one. what shall i do?

As a child, I know that I have spent countless hours at academies and with tutors at my house as an attempt by my parents to go beyond. Most of these were forced things. So, will stuffing a child's mind with more education at an early age overpower their mind and cause them to hate work? if you are a parent, would you do this to your child? Does this have anything to do with psychology?

I have social anxiety and I wanted to seek help but my mom thinks I'm perfectly normal and I'm just doing things to get attention.


When I was 12 years old, I became anorexic to get attention.

But that was 7 years ago. Now, I really have a problem and my mom doesn't understand it. Just because she's perfect, she thinks I suppose to be perfect.

How can I tell her that my problem with social anxiety and how it makes me feel?
