I'm a shy girl starting 7th grade at a new school, any advice? Hair? Clothes? Anything? (pix inside) Thanks!

Ok well I am starting 7th grade at a new school, (It's pretty small). I always start out really shy at new schools because I don't like my voice, mainly because I say the ';R'; sound a little different sometimes and I don't wanna be made fun of, but I am athletic (6:42 mile time and coulda done better), smart (straight As this year), artistic (won some awards), play guitar, and some other stuff. Oh and I'm not girly at all but not a total tomboy, but I like sports and stuff and I'm good at them. Ok so having said that, do you have any outfit ideas for me? Links/Pics encouraged! Thanks. Oh and should I get my ears pierced? If so, what kind of earrings? A couple more things, I'm getting my hair cut this week and I was thinking about getting layers again because mine kinda grew out but last time when I got layers my hair was a huge poofball! So any hair ideas? Thanks. Oh and I would love any tips for me to overcome my shyness at my new school, and I guess any advice really for 7th grade!!!!I'm a shy girl starting 7th grade at a new school, any advice? Hair? Clothes? Anything? (pix inside) Thanks!
I no how you have felt the best advice for you is just to become more confident I no alot of people are probably going to tell you that but you are naturally pretty and the best feature of yourself is the confidence and plus thats wat attracts friends to come talk and to have a sense of who you are is what attracts boys they think that is sexy.


Now for the clothes, it really depends on what type of personal style you have like if you are preppy I like shopping at Ambercrombie and Fintch, Hollister and American Eagle but mostly I like shopping at Areopostale check out their websites you might like their clothes also smetimes I like to change up my style I shop at pacsun for a lil wild prints.


Next for the make up mascare is the one make up thing I love make sure you dont loose yourself with all the make up on make up should hide negitives and enhance positives of your face but start slow because you want to become gradually pretter as you get older not be so pretty all when young then all you develoup your face dosnt enhance. I like the natural look the best with a light shimmery pink shadow almost matellic and black mascara try if u want black or brown eyeliner under and to giv extra try curling eyelashes just make your eveys pop and lip gloss is best assessory in middle school.


Hair~ layers sound good just to let u no u might want to ask a hairstyleist for options for YOUR hairtype like layers on thick hair will cause extra thickness.


Hope this advice helps and good luck in middle school just dont loose your self and be confident!!!I'm a shy girl starting 7th grade at a new school, any advice? Hair? Clothes? Anything? (pix inside) Thanks!
wow all I have to say is wow you need to calm down and be yourself I know starting jr. high is scary but once you get in it's fun if you just be yourself don't act like someone your not or you will just end up regretting the whole year, I know I did
Try to be what you feel comfortable being. The best thing about a new school is that you don't have to continue to be who you were if you weren't happy with who you were. Good luck you will do great!
your UBERR pretty


and i LOVEE your hair.


i just have to tell you to be yourself..


try out makeups, and whatever clothes YOU like becuase, believe me...its way funner to be yourself than to care what other people thinkkk
awesome im going into 7th grade too we can be pen pals hehe want to just email me k thanks (we can look 4 clothes and accs together!!!!!)
be yourselff.
it kool and normal.. im gonna b a freshman soon so starting @ a new school is tough.... play it cool.. and be yourself.. bcuz if you start off tryin' to be sumthin ur not.. it'll be bad and hard to dig out of that confusion and try to get ppl to think tht ur wht you say ur not..





be yourself.. you make more/true friends tht way.
i just started 7th grade last year and the truth is it's not a huge deal. yes you may want to look good but trust me in a new school there will be LOTS of people and i'm almost positve you will find a friend. i was like you i love sports but i like some of the girly stuff too, and i had lots of talents... i turned out great with lots of great friends. as for your hair you should switch out from straight to curly every once in a while, and just remember to be yourself. good luck:]
Where I live seventh grade is ages 11-12. Im going in to year 10, and im 14. When i started secondary school, I felt the same as you, but don't worry! At your age nobody will think any different of you whether you have expensive clothes, pierced ears, immaculate make up or straightened hair. You can worry about that rubbish later!





For now, concentrate on being friendly and thoughtful. Introduce yourself to everyone and don't be afraid to say anything, even if it's just to raise your hand and ask a question in class.





If you are confident enough, believe me, you will have all the friends in the world, and they won't give one what you look like.





By the way, you have gorgeous hair, I wouldn't change it too much. Trust me-I would kill to have your curls! You also have a lovely smile, use it a lot when you start your school!


If anyone is deliberately hurtful to you and you are upset, flash your beautiful smile at them and tell them they're not worth your time :)





You sound pretty cool lovie, you'll do just fine, Im sure of it xx
My little sister is having the same problems you are. She's not super girly, but she's not super tomboyish.


For her, the thing that makes her feel the most confident is a cute outfit that she can be active in. Like this one:

With a cute aeropostle or hollister shirt paired with some cute rocket dog shoes.


As far as your hair goes, if layers make it poof out, try just making your curls come out better. There are plenty of hair products that are just for that. Possibly invest in a spiral curling iron.


Either way, you'll make new friends.


Just remember, be confident! That's the best way to succeed in life.


Find an outfit that suits you and tell yourself that you're the prettiest and most confident girl at that school.


The most important thing is to not stress over it! It'll make the school change so much harder.
i was in 7th grade last year so heres wat to except:





Clothes- most ppl shop at hollister abercrombie american eagle or designer stuff (marc jacobs juicy chanel etc.)


so buy their stuff and youll b ok!





Ears peirced-


definetly! EVERYONE has theres peirced. actually its kinda wierd not to. they have gr8 earrings at claires chanel or aeropostale.





Hair-


layers r kinda out rite now, so i would stick with straight. maybe get a straight perm if ur hair is wavy?





Shyness-


if ppl c u as outgoing and nice theyll want to talk to u but if ur all shy and everything u wont b that approachable. so just get out of ur shell! go up to ppl and say hey.





hope this helps!have fun in 7th grade! i had tons of fun last year!!
i was a new kid to last year i was entering 7th grade to and all i did was wear the normal clothes i wear and so enough people start to hang around you and try and get to know you try not to be shy in front of them but sometimes guys like girls that are shy :D
You're pretty with your hair curly :)


Seriously!!


I'm shy too and I'm trying to get better over the summer try talking to family friends more and the store clerks ask them questions without being hesitant..yeah u shuld get ur ears pierced but u dun have to cuz ur pretty either way!


honestly i think ur soo pretty with ur natural hair and umm





OUTFITS:


since ur not too girly, u shuld wear like bermuda shorts with maybe a tank but a color that u like with a white shirt underneath or jeans and flats and a 3/4 sleeve solid shirt that wuld be cutee..just work with wut u have and also make sure to look for cute clothes when u go shopping :)








idk what else too say but have fun!! oh yeah maybe u culd be in a club or sumthing like an art club :) good job on ur A's!! =D
a lil mascara can go a long way. your hair looks good curly, but try straightening your bangs. earrings, you might want to try some [retty dangly ones...but dont get in a fight while wearing tehm cuz if some1 pulls them it will hurt like hell trust me, :) as for your shyness, just be yourself and ignore what everybody is saying. it wont help with the shyness. if you listen to what everybody is saying and what everybody wants you to be then you will end up being somebody completely different then yourself
I move a lot so thats always happens to me want to be someone else but i think the best thing is to be yourself because you sound like a great person and with a lot of good talents i wish i could do what you do artistic and athletic.... i think the first day of school you should wear something really comfortable so you feel good like shorts in the knee and a cute shirt and flip flops... do not be shy everyone will feel the same way you are feeling just get everything out and be nice to everyone introduce yourself with new people and ask them to eat lunch with you .... i hope you have a great 7th grade like i did
