"Hey, 'Had Enough'!" Don't worry about your problems, there's always a solution at AGW. There are two angles of looking at the problem. First and foremost, if you are a new girl, there is this period of adjustment that you have to go through. I shall acquaint you with the way people judge new girls with the help of the example of my school. Recently, three new girls have joined our school. Two of them are detested by all and sundry. And one of them, well, she's admired and liked by all. Two of them are total geeks. One girl has an extremely shrill voice which sounds sort of constipated. Even though many of the readers shall take an intense dislike to me because of the above statement,if the problem is contemplated , taking into view it's psychological effects. This is definitely a shortcoming. To add to that, she looks plain and simple stupid. I'm not saying that she doesn't do justice to the eye. But she looks plain and simple dumb ( SORRY PEOPLE), this too, if considered cognitively is a minus point. The other one keeps to herself and doesn't participate in class. But The third one is Achala Singh ( names may sound a bit queer, but they're Indian names so, DUH), is smart and sweet, she's not exactly pretty, but she's really friendly amd smart. She actively partcipates in the class discussions and is really very amicable. She is admired by all, because it isn't easy to put up such a brave front, being a newcomer and all. If you are a newcomer. Take my counsel, try and be like Achala. If you are not, I have a solution for you. I do remember a period of time when I was going through an inferiority complex ( I thought all my friends actually hated me, am I stupid or what?). I tried to be extra nice to all of them ( ll that effort gone to waste). Primarily, you have to be nice to them For eg. When someone is absent, you can call them up and ask them why they were absent. Don't worry if they are rude or aloof or something of the like. Don't be discouraged, try and pry through that veil of unfamiliarity and awkwardness. Or you can try and get little cards for others on their birthday's and all. Take some tips. But base your actions on these basic principles. And about shouting back at them, tell you what, you don't have to shout at them, just give them a scorching glare. Way to go gurrrl. Let's hope you find a solution.
