Judge By A Cover Narrative

I think the most significant change that I have made in my life is being more accepting of who I really am, and dealing with how I feel about a certain subject.If you’ve ever watched HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, you’d know how Larry David, the creator of Seinfeld feels about certain things.I’ve noticed that I have become accepting of the fact that sometimes I just don’t want to talk to someone and I really don’t need to feel the need to be polite and entertain people. Growing up,and during my college years I was very social towards my peers. Nowadays, I’m still social, but I draw certain boundaries. What I mean to say is that certain things don’t appeal to me, or better yet I don’t feel the need for certain social practices.

I have always been the shy, quiet kid. People who knew me thought I would never leave the house when I was older. I have alwasy been involved in sports or volunteer work, but it never forced me to be brake out of my shell. Getting a job and being put in a situation with all new people is what let me succeed in facing my shyness adversity.

When I see myself, I see a shy introvert that is terrified of humiliating herself in public. I relate to certain characters such as Bella Swan of Twilight, Juno, and Shrek. I’m shy, quiet, and social interaction terrifies me. However I also like the excitement I get from it. I have anxiety. Some days i need human interaction to keep me sane and others I physically cannot stand being around other people. i guess you could say that not only am i a social outcast, but i'm also a social butterfly.

Bullying affects more and more people each day. I beg you to take this issue seriously. There is no excuse for someone in your home, classroom, or on your team to be bullied or to be bullying someone else. It’s not kids just being kids. Middle school and high school is such a hard time for a

When arriving there, we located the office and went inside to register me. I received a pleasant surprise form the office secretary. She said “There was only two weeks of school remaining before summer break.” She then said “They would not be registering any new students until August.”

Everyone has their own problems, and I feel like it'd be an imposition to share mine. In any case, the shift that collapsed my sociality and replaced it with introversion involved a temporary farewell to people close to me and a permanent goodbye to someone extremely close. Having social anxiety however, at times, can sound stupid to have, like where's the difficulty in just talking to people, and

I was also a very shy person in school, so I did not try to socialize outside of my friend group. I was very content to stay within those friends, which is now something I wish I could change. I am not sure how much I could change my current bias if I had been more outgoing, but

I truthfully broke out of my shell. I made so many friends. Some of them I will know for the rest of my life. I felt like I knew everyone and I couldn’t care less about what people thought about me. I wasn’t shy or quiet I was the true me. It was a great feeling not to be self-conscious. I work best in small groups. In my groups of friends I felt like a co-leader. Once I get over my shyness I am able express my beliefs, come up with plans and develop different ideas.

I was not always a social and outgoing individual and I considered myself unlucky in life. I never stood out and did not have enough confidence to attempt to

Bullying is a far reaching topic in our communities, and even our homes in some cases, but more importantly bullying has a negative impact on the school atmosphere and on the student’s right to a safe and enriching environment without fear. In a world where boys will be boys and vice versa the climate of bullying is ever more present in today’s society. In fact, over the years, it has been viewed as being so commonplace in schools that it has been overlooked as a threat to students and reduced to a belief that bullying is a developmental stage that most youth will experience then get over (Ross, 2002, p. 107). Bradshaw (2015) explained it by saying the culture of peer bullying and harassment that was [is] a largely neglected problem

They say high school is a tough time for most teenagers and that you begin to mature and grow up. Some people take longer than others and as a result begin to bully people for being different from them. Last year, a classmate in my gym class was made fun of and ridiculed, over the course of an entire semester. Afraid of being dragged in and being ridiculed myself I decided to remain silent. By doing so I left the student on his own and forcing him to deal with treatment that nobody deserves.

Times were tough sometimes because I was always afraid that I wouldn’t make friends or wouldn’t be in the same environment that I was raised in. I was always scared trying to fit in with the kids at my new school and in my neighborhood, but it was always difficult for me. The kids would either make fun of me because of the way I talked and dressed or simple because I was the new kid and no one wanted to be my friend or hang out with me. But the older I became I started to realize that not everywhere you move to you would have friends or get used to the environment around you. There were times when I would ride my bike alone or even stay in the house and talk to my parents about the constant moves. As the time flew by and the more i matured i started to realize that everywhere i move i wouldn’t fit in or make friends like the friends i had before, so I have gotten used to the frequent changes. The way i was raised and the constant moves shaped me to be an intelligent young lady that didn’t mind being the outcast of everyone else, and being myself. Now that I look back at how I grew up, I’m proud of myself for never changing and staying the person I really am. Not once have I changed the way I was raised or where I came from, I stayed my true self and didn’t let anyone

Growing up in a family with four kids made it hard to be original. I always seemed to end up following in my older siblings footsteps. It was also hard for me to branch off of their path because I never put myself out there in social situations. I was quite the introvert as a child. However, as I grew up I realized I didn’t have to be so reclusive. I started to become involved in various activities such as sports and volunteering. Both have taught me valuable life lessons.

As I slowly regained my confidence, I started to open up to people more. I realized that the people who tried to fit in were not so “perfect.” They were all doing the same thing as I was: pretending to be someone I was not. I also came to realize that being perfect was a bad thing. I was not unique. I was not

One of the most challenging situations I’ve experienced was going into highschool. I was a little apprehensive about going into the 9th grade, because I was placed in a different high school because of rezoning in the VICC program. As a result, I was in a new school, with over two thousand new people. I was worried that I wouldn’t meet any new friends. I am very hesitant when it comes to new people in my life, which makes forming friendships with strangers profoundly difficult.
