What do I do if I like one of my brother's friends but him and my brother don't hang out outside of school and he doesn't really know me very much and he's kinda one of those 'cool' kids and I am not?

Well there is an easy answer from a bystander point of view. You can either change your approach, and become a "cool" kid (which is kinda childish in perspective) then become forward with this guy, or you can find someone who matches your personality better, whichever you prefer but remember, changing yourself to suit someone is the wrong approach and its really superficial. If you do that I doubt you would end up happy because no one really finds happiness by changing themselves to make someone like them.

I know plenty of my friends feel stupid now for changing themselves for a guy or girl to go out with them. It comes down to whether you want to be happy long term or happy short term, because changing yourself to please someone else never works, you eventually remember how you used to be and regret your decisions and wish to go back. Best of luck.

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.
