Topic #1 - Changing your life!

What a pity that i were not the person who created this poem.
In fact it's not a poem. It's a part of the song "She" of Elvis Costello.

She
May be the face I can't forget.
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay.
She may be the song that summer sings.
May be the chill that autumn brings.
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day.

She
May be the beauty or the beast.
May be the famine or the feast.
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell.
She may be the mirror of my dreams.
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She who always seems so happy in a crowd.
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry.
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past.
That I'll remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and ready years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is

She, she, she

Hey and i can sing this song. :guitar: my favourite one.

i don't think that it's getting better :((
 
To Hoai Anh:life shud get better though it takes time for you guys to mix in life and get on with ppl there.

Stay positive,open-minded and try any opportunity to do something at school or just hang out with kids there.You'll learn lots of new things.

I think you are not much different from yourself several months ago but you are now more aware of what you are doing.

good luck you guys,dun need to worry!!!!k?
 
Well, to me, things are much better. It's hard to make friends if you just talk to them. What I have done is "we work together". When you corperate with others, you will get to know them better. My clubs have helped me to make friends.. and.. because I don't study too much, I have more time hanging out..:p which results in my bad grades..:( Whatever, I am enjoying life here!
 
IN my school. there are many cliques so I find it hard to be socialable. Black, Indians always gather together. Đuring lunch time in my school, you can see thí quite clear as most ( not all) ò lunch tables there ảe only white ỏ black...but it í so fun that asian don't make a clique at school. Some are popular among white, some are just lonely.
I am not popular at school. I have friends but not a lot. However, I am happy with my friends.
Huong: YOu know you are a special person? I know nơ you are a senior in your school not only a international student.
I have found some really good friends among juniors and sophores. I don;t know why but I can't get along with seniors in my A.P classes. i always feel their disrespect towards me.
 
yah, I do agree that it's more difficult to join seniors, they have been in their own groups for so long. But as I don't care about them, they start talking to me. They ask me questions about homework, gradually recognize my presence.
Don't worry, they cannot disrespect you! You are smarter than them! Thinking so will make you confident.
 
but will also make them feel inferior to you, as a result, u r even more left out.
 
It's different between thinking and showing that you are smart. To be confident and arrogant are also different, right?
 
Yeah, for me things are getting much better. Congratulations, DHuong! You seem to be happy now, don't you?
 
Yesterday, I went uptown to do trick-or-treat. But everybody just gave out candies. Nobody chose trick so it was somewhat boring. But at least I got a lot of candies.:D
 
u should've known better, why should u want to play trick??? wat wit the security and jumpiness of the ppl these days??? not good. :D
 
On the above post of mine, I said something like " I am just having some friends at school but I am happy with them"
NO , not really, i am not happy and sastisfied with that. I am just trying to hide my feeling.... I hate trying to hide it any more....... I really felt so bad last night...
I recognized that I didn't get any better and I am just trying to pretend like that.... I am not highly recognized among my friends like I used to be in Vn... That's horrible...The feeling that you are not special to anyone is horrible......I feel aloof most of the time I am at school....
I read a story last night.... Actually, I had spent two nights with it...two nights with reading only....no S.A.T, assignments... The story was about a girl being lonely and aloof at school... At the end of story, she í not better......She just learns the way to handle her lonliness........I am doiing the same......I guess and it is bad
 
I think you shouldn't read any kind of these stories.It would make you worse. Why don't you go out and find some volunteer work ? I had a job in library and i felt happy when working there everyweekend. Watching orthers studying andelping old people improve my life much.
 
That used to be my case, too. The first few weeks I was overwhelmed trying to join people. I was tired, exhausted. I stepped back.
Then things don't get better but the point is I learn to get used to that feeling. I find a job - helping old people with house work. I have some other things to do. And I join clubs. Now I am too busy to have any free moment even to think about my loneliness. I run, I rush to dark room to develop pictures, to the art centre to paint, I quickly write several articles for the school newspaper and Amnesty newsletter. I am a tutor so I have to help a girl in Math. Then when it's dry, I practice skateboard. I enjoy it so much! Keeping you busy is the best way to forget lonliness. Most of the time, I go and do things by myself but I don't care. I feel really comfortable now.

My advice: Find something you are interested in and keep doing that. A passion can prevent you from getting bored. Now I have 2 interests: photography and skateboard.
 
To Thao: whenever you are lonely and feel aloof, remember that Trang, Huyen, PLinh, Tram and me are always beside you. I often feel so warm when thinking that somewhere out there, a lot of people may be thinking of me. And they should also feel happy coz I think about them a lot. :D Is that right, my dear friends?
 
NO Huong, .....that will just..I....I don't want to tell you amy advice if you really feel happy with the life you ảe living.......Hơever, the mót thing I feel diffirent here í the feeling I am not og importance to anyone surounding me....
