In gym (I'm in 10th grade) I'm always by myself which doesn't bother me because I always make a fool out of myself when I'm around people. But the teacher has a big problem with it. The 1st thing he said to me on the 1st day of school was: "Are you okay? You look sad or angry. Smile for me." I just nod my head "no." I can't help it, but my ugly face isn't built to look happy. So now it's the 3rd week and yesterday he came up to me durning the last 20 min. (I was standing alone infront of the door leading to the girls locker room) Everybody was playing basket ball, I was just praying the ball wouldn't hit me so I wouldn't have to kick back. Coach G approached. He said "Are you just really really shy?" (Hate that question.) I just shrugged. "Do you want me to stand here and ask you 50 questions?" I shrugged again. Then he goes on asking me questions like: What grade are you in? When's your birthday? Are you taking Drivers Ed? Are you in any sports? Do you live with both your parents? Are your shoes red? Blah blah blah! I just stared at the floor (eye contact is impossible) It was one of the most uncomfortable situations I've ever been in. Then I start getting teary eyed. I tried to hold back my crying. I don't understand why I started to cry, I wasn't even sad. I didn't want anybody to notice so I went into the girls locker room and locked myself in the bathrooom. (That's also where I spend my lunch) I stayed there till my blood shot eyes faded a bit. --- I don't understand why I cry! It happens a lot, especially when social situations become too much for me. I don't know what to do, it so embarrasing and awkward.
