@Pearl:
We eat our Fish & Chips a little different than you folks do. xD
You guys get your Fish & Chips on newspaper print and put vinegar all over it, right?
I put Tartar sauce on mine. I don't like vinegar. :sweat:
Tea is delicious! Especially Earl Gray. :)
Doesn't it rain a lot over there?
I could never live somewhere if it rained a whole lot. The rain is so depressing. :( Plus it screws me sinuses all up cause it washes all the outside pollen off the trees and comes right into the air, getting me in the face.

I love to draw though. C: I'm not the best, but it's an addicting hobby of mine. Everything else though, I fail at. xD I'm not a very talented person haha.

My mum isn't working either, and my dad has basically quit his job. They're living off investments for a year or so while he takes a 'gap year'.
But my mum wants to become a Psychology teacher, she's spent the past few years doing a part time degree. (Her second one, I was like wtf would you want more exams? xD)
I'm sure you're a great artist. How are you with people? Being sociable and friendly is a skill and a gift.

Depends where you get the fish and chips from. Nowadays, they mostly come in foam boxes, and vinegar isn't the most popular addition.
If I get it in a pub or restaurant, it usually comes with tartar sauce. I don't really like vinegar.
It can rain quite a bit... about as much as the North West US.
I want to study in NC for the sunshine.

Haha well that's awesome though that you're parents are into school and stuff like that. C: Mine aren't. xD Well, my dad anyway. We don't spend much time together or anything.
And I'm not. ; w; I can never get things to look the way I want. And I'm extremely shy. xD Like, a lot. I'm terrified of being confronted by people I don't know, so I stay quiet most of the time. My boyfriend's friend came up to me the other day and was like "What are those like...Neopets?" when I was drawing a bunny. TT w TT I told him to go away because he was a creeper. He doesn't like me haha...And he terrifies me.

Being a shy teen is nothing new.
There a lots of very impressive people who were also very timid at one stage.
You will become more confident with life experience. Not everyone is destined to be a politician or comedian or gameshow host, but every year adds a little more to your jar of confidence.
Even little things, like phoning strangers or going somewhere alone adds to it.
I'm naturally shy, but I've noticed little changes in myself over my adolescence.

I really do hate it though when people stare at me. xDD Or when the teacher calls me out. So I try to be invisible all day until I can go home.
I just really wish I wasn't so shy though. It's hard. xD I turn red really easy, and it bothers me when people point it out. Makes it worse haha.

How old are you now?
It will get better, trust me.
As a start, you could set yourself small challenges, like putting your hand up in class if you know the answer or have a good point to make.

Oooh, I see.
Yuck on vinegar. :P
The only part of America I think of when a lot of rain is mentioned is Seattle, Washington. :sweat:

Maybe you could speak more confidently to strangers in suitable situations - e.g when they hold a door open or you hold it open, e.g "Thank you very much!" rather than "thanks", and other situations like that.
If not, don't worry about it. It will happen gradually.
No adult expects a 15 year old lad to be a towering pillar of confidence, the expectation is for you to be quiet and awkward. xD;
(No offence!)
I'm nearly 19, and even when I was 16 I was a lot more shy and awkward. I still cared about what other people thought.
I still care now, but much less so xD;
Everyone has to go through this period of low-confidence, it lasts longer for some and shorter for others, but by the time you're in your 20s you'll be practically cocky.

See, Roar? ;)
After a short while living on your own and working, your confidence will build.
I'm coming to the end of my first year at university, it's been quite a year.

Everything will come in its own time. On the whole, I haven't enjoyed my teens (up until about 17), but it's quite low-pressure.
Enjoy not having to work and budget.

I don't live on my own actually. I still live with my parents. :sweat: I just recently graduated from college and the college was right by where we live, so my parents let me stay. Plus the college doesn't have any dorm rooms cause it's a small community college, haha.
I've never had a job in my life either. :gonk: Which worries me a little when I do go out and look for a job. Though I hope that my degree in Digital Media / Art will help me find a nice job in that field. We've got several places around here for their field of work.
I'm thinking of going back to school though, to get my Bachelor's. I have my Associate's.

I live on campus, but home is just a 3 hour train journey away.
I've never had a job either, when I was 16 or 17 I had a job interview at my local library which I totally fudged up x]
But now I'm a bit more confident, I could try for a job at somewhere more suited to an 18 year old, maybe Subway...
@ Roar - ooh, what jobs are you going to try for?

I'm starting to get annoyed with several stores nearby me. Every time I go in they tell me the same thing.
"The manager is not in right now and we're out of applications". :illgetu:
