Maybe a little, but the bigger answer is that almost most people are intimidated by almost everything in high school, so that's why they hide in their little clique and are afraid to make friends with someone new. So, be yourself, stick to your close friends and make a few news ones along the way. Eventually the rest of your peer group will grow up; it just might not happen in high school.
You look like you can sometimes be giving someone a dirty look on accident. You have an expressive face and eyebrows. Sometimes people ask "whats wrong?" to me because I look mad, when I cant help it.
To make people talk to you just put a big smile on your face and say hi in the halls or something. It may seem stupid but I did the same and not only did I make friends, people now say hi first and act friendly :).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
