Well, today was the first day of school unfortunately. I'm better off in my own little bubble, which is my room XD. Today I went sort of sweet lolita casual, I looked like a little kid. I had on a flower dress, the bodice was flowers and the skirt was a lovely green to complement. I'm in a brace for my ankle and foot right now so I wore some grey mary jane shape ups with socks, and I put my hair in pig tails and a flower on the side to compliment the flowers in my dress. I thought I would not stand out too terrible much, but apparently I did people pointed and gave me a stare. And as a dare these boy told one of their friends to come up to me and ask my number for someone else and that person tried to hide his face from me and run away. I was probably called little girl and such and when the room went quiet in math I sharpened my pencil and felt all eyes on me and my girly but childish dress. People in the classrooms didn't treat me different when talking to me though. I got stares, but when you talk to the people around you they are pretty chill and you can easily laugh with them. I am the person who can confidently walk around in my childish girly dress when with a friend to talk to, to keep my mind off the people around me, but when alone I get scared. When I'm at home thinking about it, it doesn't feel like a bad memory to haunt me for days to ever come. I may do it again

How I took stares :7/10
How I took talking:10/10
How cute I thought I looked: 11/10
Still easily making new friends: 9/10

So if you be yourself I think it will be okay, and you might even build up more confidence from this as well. Please share your story and rate your experience if you like

no problem, I'm not going to lie when telling you it can be scary going to high school with hundreds of kids in the hallways oppose to 1 hundred in middle school. But it won't kill you, it probably won't haunt you, and you'll love the way you look at the end of the day

You're so brave! I wish I was as confident as you are when I was still in high school Keep up the good work! Make that handling stared a 10~

Well, I think before you walk out the door of your house your opinion is all your own until you get some stares of course. So I really did think I looked cute

xD D'aww! I wish I could see your outfit!
I bet you looked absolutely adorable! :D

It sounds like to me you did a great job out there! :]
I applaud you!
(That kinda story gives me a little bit of confidence too! ^ ^ )

*High fives* >:3

Kick Arse!!! Tee hee. Back in high school my group that i hung with was the ones always getting looks. We were the only goths in a pretty dominated all hip hop school so getting looks was what i was use to. But doing it for the first time can be very scary. So kudos. Lots of them!!
