So what’s weird? For instance:

You talk too much

Ahmad is standing next to you in line. Suddenly you hear yourself

jabbering away as if your mouth weren’t connected to your brain.

Weird-O-Meter Rating:

Slow down. It will give you time to think before you speak. Don’t run

your words together. Take a breath between sentences. Ask questions.

Conversations involve both people talking, after all. And while he’s

looking for words, you’ll have more time to get a grip on your own.

You pretend you’re invisible

C.J. and Matt are so cute! They’re talking to your best friend during a break

in gym. You’d like to join them, but what if you say the wrong thing? You

stay where you are and count bricks in the wall.

Weird-O-Meter Rating:

Try not to avoid boys. It will only make your nerves worse. Remind yourself

that it’s natural for girls and boys to be fluttery around one another at this

age. The way to learn to talk to boys is to talk to boys. Practice makes perfect.

Or, at least, with a little practice, talking to boys won’t be such a big deal.
