    Hi Zainab,
    I was the “quiet and serious one” in high school as well. First off, there’s nothing wrong with that. Sometimes people don’t know how to react around people who are quiet and serious which makes them uncomfortable, leading them to say rude things. That said, you are not just the “the quiet and serious one”. You are so much more than that. I’m sure in your life you have been funny, loud,… We are so much more than a label. Perhaps to gain more confidence do something you haven’t done before like you said go to a dance, do debates…but do them because YOU want to; not because of the pressure of others doing it. I hope this helps:)

    Dear Zainab:

    It seems to me that you are like a bird that did not yet spread its wings, a bird that needs to spread its wings and FLY!

    A bird in a little cage, serious, quiet but not because quiet and serious is who you are.

    Maybe you are loud and child like and emotional and spontaneous, you just never had the chance to express all this, to BE who you really are.

    People in your home, family judged you negatively when you were those things, so you tried to accommodate their expectations and you shut yourself in that cage.

    You are hoping that in a different environment, away from your family, away from their judgments… the cage of their judgements.. you will be able to spread your wings and fly!

    Am I correct?
