Counselor Response
You need to feel good about yourself before anyone will be interested in you. Being confident goes a long way with girls. Accept the way you look and the way you act. You are the way you are for a reason. Focus on your positive aspects...find ways to make them outshine your negative aspects. Work to make your negative aspects better. Get involved in something you enjoy. Get involved in something where you are appreciated. The girls will come in time...if you try too hard, you'll turn them away, though...
