well, I understand exactly what your going through and I wish I could give you a hug. I was exactly the same way at my other school. But I decided at my new school I was going to act exactly like the people I admired. It helps because know one knows you at your new school and it is a fresh start. The other thing is pray alot that God will calm you down if you put all of your trust in him he will help you- I know this from expierience. Ok, and on fashion even if you are tall you can still be really pretty, I am tall and I get compliments on my clothes alot. Go to Forever 21 they seriously have really cute clothes. You could also go to Hollister, Abercrombie if you don't have a budget go to Nordstrom or Nieman Marcus and buy Juicy couture you can never go wrong with that and popular people will notice you are wearing juicy and talk to you about that and this will be a good opportunity to talk and boost your confidence. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ADVICE THAT I CAN GIVE YOU: My grandma told me that the only way you can have alot of friends and be funny and outgoing is take the focus off yourself and focus on what other people are saying and ask them question about what they are saying. Just concentrate all on them and think of things to respond on what they are talking about. This is the advice I am going to leave you on and I will pray for you.

Hi. Ok, calm down. Deep breaths. OK, we're going to get through this ok? First, buying clothes. I know I'm a guy, whatever, but I'm one of the most popular people in school, and am also one of the most fashionable. Lets get started. Shopping. Ok, I would say Abercrombie & Fitch & Hollister. Cute things to buy there are Camis, Tanks, and they have really cute shirts there, and definitely get some polos. Here are a couple: http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10901_286026_-1_13062 , http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10901_288977_-1_12270, http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10901_283872_-1_12249. Ok, now we have shirts covered. Pants/Bottoms. You definitely want some cute jeans, skirts, you know, Here are a few: http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10901_278583_-1_12280 , http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10901_290357_-1_12261 , http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10901_283289_-1_12281. OK, so we have the shirts and bottoms covered. Now, shoes. Definitely flip flops, you can find those anywhere! Bags. Handbags. You definitely can buy some totes from Abercrombie, but I would totally go with Louis Vuitton or Chanel. I prefer Chanel, because that's my favorite brand, but Louis Vuitton is awesome too. These bags look awesome with Abercrombie. I didn't show Hollister clothes because they are kind of pretty much the same. OK, now that we're done with like clothes, everything else you said now. The panic attacks. Don't be panicky. People will notice. Have the rule all attitude. Those other people aren't better than you! In fact, you're way better than THEM. Walk like you own every single, anything! stair, person, everything. Meet people slow off, then work yourself into close relationships and stuff. I pick out my style people. Preppy. People that wear Abercrombie like you, will definitely be your type of person. And for sure, they'll love your Chanel. Ask you where you got it, bla bla bla. They'll LOVE it. Well, I hope this helps. Remember, schools not a big deal! Just, try and have fun. Hope this helps!

I used to be extremely shy as well, my best advice is just talk to people the way you would want a friend to talk to you, so talk to everyone like they're your friends. The clothes thing depends on your style, I like dark stuff and music is my life so I get everything from Hot Topic. The two biggest stores in malls for people at about high school age to get clothes from are Hot Topic and Abercrombie and Fitch, just get whatever fits your style. To be outgoing you just gotta do stuff without exactly planning it. And for the panic attacks, just try not to worry about things as much, just keep everything around you mellow and if something starts bugging you just kinda drift away cooly.

okay hunny, well i think you should be yourself. and just be nice to everyone. start conversations even with people who arent popular, cuz u never know they could give you the boost you need to help reach your goal. and for clothes i would suggest shopping at abercrombie & fitch , hollister, forever 21, american eagle, wet seal, victoria secret ( like sweats and underwear if u dont already shop for bras), and get accesories that are in liek chunky jewlwry and shoes from aldo, bakers, and other stores like macy's or nordstrom( wich by the way has very cute juniors clothing) . Also accecorize with big sunglasses and designer purses. ( if cannot afford get ones that dont look cheap or knockoffs) and also make sure you do your hair cute everyday! mwaa love yaahhh and good luckk! hope i helped! :]

Ok, for back to school clothes I recommend American Eagle, Hollister Co and Wet Seal. I absolutly love their stuff! always in fashion! and reasonable prices! You can find these stores in almost every mall or if not in yours, all of them have websites. Also try getting some teen fashion magazines such as Seventeen or TeenVOUGUE. you can get them in any grocery store. They can give you more ideas on what stores to shop at, hair and make-up how tos, and articles about what boys like and how to get popular. everything your looking for.
I like to find pictures of outfits in magazines that i like, cut them out, and take them with me when i go shopping. I try to match up the outfit with like things for the same look but inexpensive. You should try this the next time You go shopping. Also try cutting out pictures of celebrities or models with hair styles that you like and take them with you the next time you get your hair cut. you can show the pictures to the hairstylist and ask them which one they think would look best on you for professional advice. And dont worry about what other people think so much! and if some people dont still dont like you, dont try to be someone that they will like. Always be yourself! your too good for them. try to raise your hand more often in school and it doesnt matter if you get the answer wrong thats what school is for!
good luck with your upcoming school year, i hope everything goes well! :)
