What should I do? Please help...

First, do something that will get peoples attention. Be unpredictable. Like speak out in class or something. Cause many lose interest if you are predictable. Then once you get people's interest, you can speak your mind and they will listen.

Second of all, smile a lot. Be happy. Be joyful. Always keep your head up. It will make your day go by faster and a lot of people will like you for being so cheerful.

Third of all, like the other people said the most important thing is to be yourself

Hope this is the answer you wanted :)

Just be yourself, don't worry about them. Living in the shadows is what lets you see the light and you can use that as a strength. If you have to put up a front for people to notice and like you than they obviously aren't the people to hang around.

i say be ur self dude! u can do nothing more and nothing better than that!

wow Katja, that's a good question and i know exactly how you feel! i've been in that situation before where, i didn't like what people think of me and i knew in my heart that that was not the way i wanted to be regarded by other people, i thought that i would feel better being picked on for who i was than being picked on for who people thought i was, so.....one day....i just got fed up and stopped going to school...lol, yeah, so to answer your question i have no fucking idea how you let people know who you really r :P

Just be yourself, do something you're really good at and outshine those you are in the shadow of.
