say my name my teacher would punish me and make me sit in timeout and miss morning playtime. As the year went on they called my mom in and sat down to talk about me never talking, and my mom sat there confused because at home I would talk all the time. The teachers recommended that I go to an Audiologist because they actually thought I had a hearing deficit because I would never speak to them. I was taken to the Audiologist and as predicted I could hear perfectly fine and then from there my teachers told my mom to stick me in after school activities to make me more social. My mom thought that was a good idea and stuck me in dance classes. My teachers though something was wrong with me instead of trying to understand how quiet kids learn and act. Trying to make friends when you are a quiet kid is a very hard challenge. Introverts are content being by themselves and observing, but that does not mean that they do not want to make friends. Everyone wants friends, but quiet kids are better off with having a couple of really close friends instead of having a very large group of friends.

Shyness becomes even more common when kids become teenagers. There are so many new things that they are going through that they have never experienced before and a lot of them become shy in these new situations.

    Growing up, I was never comfortable with being myself at school due to the way that I may be perceived by my peers. When I was able to be myself, I managed to form a few close friendships with people who accepted me for who I am. These friends put me at ease by not judging me for the eccentricities that I thought I had. They also helped encourage me to do some of the things that I was scared to do or needed a push of motivation in order to do. My friends essentially helped me come out of my cocoon of shyness and blossom into the social butterfly that I will be one day.…

    The Element Project If someone would have told me 5 years ago that I would be going to college to become a teacher I probably would have laughed right to their face. I have nothing against teachers it just never seemed like a career I would enjoy. I actually did not plan on going to college because I honestly had no idea what I would pursue in college. I did not make a final decision about my career path until my last year of high school. I just had too many things going on in my personal life to even think about my life after high school.…

    Friends: Organizations > Clubs If you've read my post on making friends, you know it all really comes down to three things: 1.) biology (finding the right culture), 2.) spending enough time with the people to gain their trust, and, finally, 3.) letting your guard down. And I've talked about, especially for the shy introvert when it comes to fulfilling these three requirements, focusing on your career, school, and club activities. But clubs should be are a very distant third option for introverts as you might not get enough "face time", or not let your guard down at all, to transition these people to friends.…

    Looking at the movie poster for the film Unfriended, it is clear that the creators want moviegoers to watch a new genre of horror, captivating them with cyber possession revenge. The poster features a drop down search menu with the name “Laura Barnes” and the word, possession and revenge appear. Above the search menu, there is a teenaged girl screaming with her face distorted on a screen with only darkness surrounding her. Underneath the search menu, in red text it says, “THIS APRIL REVENGE COMES ONLINE”. This movie poster might give too much of the plot away, but still leaves the viewers wanting to know what happened to Laura.…
