Hey guys! This is a question that is mainly for teenagers, but anyone can answer! I am really shy around people, but I want to change that! I'm in 8th grade and a teenager, and I'm going to my relatives house in a few weeks. I really want to start talking to them more and be funny, but I'm worried they will just say "She's acting like a teenager." I don't like that people say that like it's a bad thing! What should I do? Thanks guys!
You're probably not as shy/quiet around new people as I am... I'm so quiet (among other reasons) my nickname is Ghost lol
Hey! I am so close to being a teenager- I am in 7th grade and my birthday is soon. Honestly, I would either ignore the comment if it hurts you (but still be polite) or embrace being a teenager! Being a teenager only happens for a couple of years in your life, so enjoy those years! :)
I’m also a shy person, and even though I’m not a teenager, I think you should just talk to your relatives the way you normally do. And also, act like you’re interested and listening to their conversation.
Hi there! I believe when they say that... (which i dislike too) usually teens are always on their phones and stuff... hence “moody teenager”. I would just pitch in on their conversations and listen. Crack a couple jokes while your at it! And mostly, act like your listening and youre not just in your own world. (Dont mind my name 😂... I’m in 8th grade... i need to change that, i done even understand why i wrote it. Haha!)
just talk to them about their life... hobbies, sports, instruments they play, etc., try to relate with your own positive experiences (without interrupting) and pay attention. Or try complimenting on your aunt's new dress, or your grandma's potatoes, or your little cousin's teddy bear. I'm also in eighth grade (and super quiet) but I haven't EVER had my family say the whole teenager thing to me. Don't worry about it... after all, they're family. I think you will do just fine, you seem like a wonderful person :)
Thanks! That was good advice! You seem like a really nice person too!
I’m not a teen but here’s what I would do. Try talking to your very close circle of family and friends first. How does that feel? If you don’t know what to talk about tell them about something that you watched on TV last night or and idea for if they are bored. You will begin to feel comfortable around them. Once you a really comfortable move on to people who you don’t know as a well. For example you could ask someone who is sitting by themselves to come sit with you. Eventually you’ll feel comfortable doing this too. The last step is just a tip from me: Always act like yourself in front of people. It takes getting used to but in the end it is easier. I hope you like these steps and that it is helpful to everyone who might be feeling this way! Take care! @Iloveaudreylucy
Hi!Im not a teenager but I can give some advice. I'm about to turn the age that is 2 years younger than 13. But I have older cousins that are teenagers and I give them advice all the time which always works. I would say you should just be yourself. Be the funny and talk more like you want to! If someone comments saying your just acting like a teenager. Laugh it off with a smile and say "Yup that's me! The coolest 8th grader around!" that should cheer you up and it should show the adults you like being silly and don't care about being told your just being a teenager. I think your cool! Hope my advice helps!
Tell them that itš not really a bad thing.
Hmm...Maybe before you go start looking up some interesting topics and icebreakers, like news stories that made you smile or jokes to tell them. And if they are like my relatives, they might ask you about what you are doing in school or what hobbies you like, so when you answer them make sure you give detailed answers instead of just short "yes and no's". I also don't like when people say someone is "acting like a teenager" ;-|
I have a really shy best friend, and she gets really shy around other people but us. What I tell her to remember is that no one is watching her, or thinking, "Wow that girl is so shy! Weird." Just be you! Think of it like a "filter". When your around your family, or a best friend, you take your filter off. But when your around people you don't know so well, you put on the filter. Just remember, you can take your filter off anytime! You should try and think about that! Try taking your filter off for a little bit around them! - HoneyBadger1313
hee I don't know for me I think being a teen is way grown up...still has 2years to go...
I'm only 10, but I would say be you! If they say that, tell them politely, "Actually I'm acting like ME!"
Hmmmm good question. I think that you should try it, and if you get a little nervous or don't like their response you can just switch back to how you acted around them before.
My advice is just have fun and be you! Who cares what they say, plus they'll probably just think that your mature! Would you rather people say that your acting like a teenager (which you are and that's not a bad thing) or like a little kid? I hope this helps!
Hey guys! This is a question for those who dance or like to dance! What dance moves are cool to learn? I want to learn how to dance, but I don't go to classes because they are expensive! I look the moves up and learn from the internet. So, what moves should I learn? Thanks guys!
Hmm..You should learn the floss or the shuffle..the shuffle might be a little hard to do but with some practice it'll be good!
I will enter you in the competition Good Luck
