There's this kid...

[Lifeguard18]

Ok there's this kid who gies to my school. He is in my sophomore class. I thought he was a freshman because I never seen him before. Well since the year started I see him all the time. I kind of feel bad for him. He's also in my lunch period but sits by himself and listens to his iPod and maybe hw. I pass him in the halls all the time like I said. We tend to make eye contact a lot I noticed that. Before we left for Xmas vacation we had a movie event and i saw him with friends so I do know he's not alone. And on the same day there was a breakfast for the sophomores because we were the best class for the mp. Highest grades less discipline etc. He was there too and that's when I said to myself he's a sophomore. I was surprised. So the people who he was with one of them is in my math class and I want to ask her about him becuase he seems like a good kid. And it seems stupid for him to sit by himself at lunch. We had an extrodinary and a very heart touching assembly called Rachels Challenge (google it.) and that wants to make me approach him and say hi but I'm the person who is bad at that and nervous. So could you give me advise with this. I kind of want to get to know him because we see each other ALL THE TIME!! Lol. Can I make myself more clear. Haha. So I kind of feel bad for him a little I guess. So any advice on how to get to know him and how to get me to ask this girl about him. Thanks.

Go up and just talk to him. Tell him I always see you in my class and you seem cool.

If you are really nervous tell him what he's listening to on the ipod.

hes not in any of my classes. a girls in my math class knows him i want to ask her about him. i feel bad for him a lot. he just stars into space at lunch. its sad. i want to go up to him but idk what his reaction would be. im probably just making excuses but i dont get why he sits by himself. i want to do Rachels Challenge (im serious google it) but im the person who is nervous to making a difference in someones life. unless i get introduced to him it would go fine cause someones with me.

i was going to tell him what you said to me but i backed away. idk why

Rachaels challenge was an Ok assembly... the thing after it "exclusive meeting" or what not was bull, it was supposed to be a workshop, but all they wanted was $$$

Just man up and say hello. What's the worst that could happen? I mean what if someone came up to you at lunch and started talking to you? I doubt you would freak out or anything. Just strike up a convo. You could even be stupid about it. Like say something about the weather in a stupid tone. It could get him to smile or something. Whatever you do, do something. Because something is better than nothing.

i wouldnt say for money. if that was for money than Challenge Day (also google that) would have also been for money. ever since rachels challenge in my school, i saw a HUGE GIGANTIC TREMENDOUS turn around in how people respect each other.

Our school didnt change, sure it did for awhile, but you cant change a whole school forever.

try getting earlier than him and sit where he usually sits? or how about asking if you can sit with him? then you could start talking, even if you just ask what's he listening to, or comment on the food...

For Goodness sake, talk to him, he may be shy and waiting for you to make the first move, go on, and I really wish you luck and best wishes

I don't think it's anything like that about making a move. We make some eye contact but that's about it. He does look like a shy person. When he was with his friends he was happy and all.

What i'm thinking if I go and talk to him he's going tk expect me there all the time and the people who i sit with are going to wonder and ask me why I'm not there. Should I bring him to my table and introduce him to them. This may sound mean but I'm not but I don't want to leave my table for the rest of the year.and idk what my friends will say if I do bring him back to my table. I know they wouldn't hate him. And I definatley won't. So I need advice on that now.

Ok so today at lunch when I was throwing my trash out i THINK he was staring at me for a bit. I'm not too sure about it.

why you didn't approach him? a simple, friendly hello could do wonders, SPECIALLY if he's shy

True. I may say hi to him soon. Idk when though.
