I know how you feel, and rest assured, this has happened to many of us. Sometimes the one person you really like, treats you like dirt, and it seems like he/she couldn't care less about you. Sometimes that's indeed the case, and that person is out of your league, meaning that you have to take your losses, and move on, however difficult that is.
However, sometimes the negative attention (s)he gives you is just a mask, because that person actually likes you, but is simply not able, or too shy to show. It's a difficult situation you're in, and it's very hard to find out what the other is truly thinking about you. I wouldn't bluntly step up to him/her, as there is a considerable risk (s)he is really not interested, and might scold you with extra effort.
However, it may also be the only way to find out whether there is any possibility for the two of you to become bf-gf. I hope this answer has helped you a bit further, and I wish you strength dealing with your situation.
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.
