Answer 2

Wear clothes that you feel comfortable wearing , not what the runway models are wearing . If you are comfortable then you will be more confident. Take an older person shopping with you , a sister or Aunt -someone you can tryst.
As far as makeup -start with 'not enough' too much will make the wrong impression right off the bat.A little lip gloss and some light blusher for a start . You will see what the other girls are wearing and you can do something similar if you like it . On the weekends -experiment big time, just don't go overboard and embarrass yourself on Monday . It's always better to add a little more than it is to wish you hadn't gone too far in the first place.

Answer 3

Let's see 8The grade huh? I moved around a lot as a kid, perpetually the new guy in school. It sucked having to move around so much but a plus was that I got really good at making a new first impression with all sorts of different people. Basically I got to reinvent myself every few years. While I don't recommend all the moving around, the best advice I can give you is to take yourself out of your comfort zone. Walk up to people you wouldn't normally talk to and strike up light conversation. "How are you today", "I like that shirt/hat", something small. If it's someone you normally wouldn't try to talk to the pressure of making a good impression isn't there. If you screw it up no biggie, you probably will never see that person again. Basically pull your confience from the fact that you are anonymous, you can be who ever you want to be, quiet, outgoing, flirty, witty. School can be a tough place to get over this stigma as you are around those people on a regular basis and most of them will already have an idea of who they think you are. But you're timing for coming out of your shell couldn't be better. With high school coming around soon there will be a whole new group of people to reinvent yourself with. In the mean time try going to the mall, or a park, some place with a lot of human traffic. What you wear and how much make up you use doesn't matter nearly as much as personality. I know that sounds cliche, but trust me the allure of the hottest cutest people wears off all to soon if they don't have more substantial traits. Like the ability to have a conversation, or simply the courage to say hello to someone they don't know.

Answer 4

I felt the same way. I was so self conscious. I didn't know how to walk in heels or wear make-up until I got married. Nothing can make you (clothes, make-up, or friends). You must be comfortable in your skin. Be confident. Do You. It's o.k. to be shy and still meet knew friends (STAY AWAY FROM STRANGERS WHO ARE PREYING ON SHY CHILDREN). Smile a lot, always look people in their eyes(don't stare), hold your head up(not snobby). You are cute and likable, believe that. Nothing can break you. Wear clothes that are comfortable. Most kids on the Disney channel dress their age. Nothing more than lip gloss until you are more comfortable, maybe H.S.. Relax and enjoy being a teen. It's totally normal. There are always bumps on the road before you get to the beach. And everyone don't need to help you. You must believe in yourself and not gossip. Too much information is well, too much. Good luck.

Answer 6

You don't need to be shy. Just be natural.

Steer well clear of makeup -- it'll just make you look silly.

If you want to attract the guys

Grow your hair long
Smile
At your age, avoid padded bras like the plague
Wear skirts
Keep smiling

It works every time. It's easy enough to say "Hi!" in the passing. That's all it takes to break the ice. One of these times you say it to a guy he'll respond --either then or a day or two later.

Answer 7

what is shyness? ask yourself, i found that to me, shyness was being unable to speak out and express my views without fears of people laughing, find out yours and try to conquer them. honestly, i think cute is something that just comes naturally.. ive been called cute, and im not even that good lookin, but its the way i acted i think. make up.. take it from a guy.. do NOT pile it on layer upon layer, a little bit of makeup, try to let your natural beauty shine through, most guys love hair when its flowing down and natural. goodluck, hope this helps

Answer 8

Well I'm shy too and I'm 29 but I'm not as bad as I use to be. Just try to walk with your head up and speak loudly when your talking to someone it will boost your confidence, although I don't think your shyness will ever go completely away.

Answer 9

My advice would be to not do anything too much. Be yourself, but make an effort to join in on activities and approach someone new once a day. Routines like that might come in handy. Be modest in your actions and dress, but relax and don't stress. ^_^ good luck

Answer 10

the first thing for you to do sweetie is be yourself. you shouldnt be trying to impress anyone with something that you are not. just try to put yourself in uncomfortable positions on purpose so you can get used to having to deal with it. and try to dress cute, not slutty. there is a big difference. you can still show off what you have without looking like a tramp.

Answer 11

firstly you have to be more confident in yourself if you want to start talkin to guys more, if you have in your mind all the time that your not cute and that you dont want to be class down it is going to start showing and people are going to notice those characteristics comin out
when it comes to talking to the guys dont try and make it seem as if you are tryin so hard to try and think of something to say to them, jus let conversation flow and i am sure that they will contiue it on and it will be just as simple as talkin to your girl-friends
Goodluck!! xx
