Hello Paige here. Has anyone ever told you lies about yourself and you believed it? Tonight I am going to discuss when people accuse us of not being good enough.
Math has never been my best subject. One time I was in class and didn't get it. My teacher said that I have dyslexia which I don't. I just didn't understand the equation. For the rest of the day I was upset.
All of us have things that we are good at and we have our weaknesses also. The world tends to focus on our weaknesses and that is what causes us to have low self-esteem. We have goals but feel that we can't acomplish things because of how others made us feel.
Today focus on your strengths. Accept the areas that you are bad at and ask God to make you overcome the areas where you are not so good. Everyone has something special in them that makes them different from someone else. Be proud of who you are. Don't listen to the lies that others are telling you.
See you next time,
Paige

Bullies
Bullies. What makes them act the way they do? What do you do when you are getting bullied? Is it easy to just walk away? Tonight, I will answer all of those questions.
I don't mean to be concited but once you meet me it will be hard not too like me. I am very sweet and love meeting new people and making new friends. I was always that way but the bullies of the world didn't see me that way. I was born with confidence just like all babies are. Then something happens to us to change how we feell about ourselves. It wasn't until I met someone my Junior year of college who changed my life. All ofa sudden I had confidence again. That is another story though. This is about someone I knew in middle school.
I knew this guy in middle and high school. He was mean. One day I was walking ahead of him and he and he said "animal" under his breath and started to laugh. I put on my headphones and kept walking. Now that was all that happened. I was very sensitive though and when anyone would call me a name I would get upset. I wanted to say don't call me that or don't speak to me that way but I couldn't fight back. I then remembered the one who got away and how he treated me. He liked me and he treated me with nothing but respect. I can't believe how I just let him go.
Alot of time bullies act the way they do because of their growing up. Middle and High School is when bullying is at an all time high. The effects of bullying can last a lifetime. People say ignore the words but it is very hard to ignore those words. Eventually those words become scars and we believe all the bad things that are said about us even if it isn't true.
I once stood up for myself and the people who were bothering me left me alone. Then when they saw me they smiled at me and that was that. When I showed that was weak though the bullying got worse and worse. I am not saying to fight because if there is one thing that I am against is fighting. I believe that if you talk things out and tell people how you feel things will get better.
It's not easy to walk away but try standing up for yourself. No matter how hard it is keep your head up high. Keep believing that one day you will meet people who treat you the way that you deserve to be treated. Think of the people who appreciated you or something that made you laugh or even a time when you were most happy. Keep moving foward and show the world what an amazing person you really are.

New Years Resolution
Hello and welcome to another edition of Social Life. I know I haven't been on for awhile and I am sorry about that. Today I am going to talk about New Years. I love New Years. Mainly New Years Eve because it's all about having fun and no strings attached not like Valentines Day. I also love New Years Day because it is the start of something new. It is forgeting about the past and starting new. My New Years resoultions in the past have been to lose weight or get a boyfriend. Then during one point when I liked a guy who was mean was to forget all about him. It was easy at the time bceause I was a freshmen in college and he was a senior in high school. It's a long story and I did move on. This year I didn't know what my resoultion should be, then it finally came to me. This year I am not going to waste my time on people who don't want me. I am going to have more confidence in myself as well. There could be someone out there who knows how to treat me so I am going to stop wasting my time on someone who treats me badly. I value myself. This should go for alot of people. We stay with people who treat us badly because of our feelings. We want that person to be with us. We make excuses for them and we get so upset. Life is too short to waste it on things like that. So today make sure that the people you are with treat you right. As the saying goes "If you love something let it go, If it comes back it's yours. If it doesen't it was never meant to be yours in the first place."

If he won't pay attention to me I will move on
Hello and Welcome to another edition of Social Life. Today I am going to be discussing something that some of us could relate to. What happens when we want someone who doesen't want us back?
For a long time I wanted someone but they didn't treat me as I should be treated. I would like him and be upset because he is ignoring me, go away and then when I would come back I wouldn't care. It's been a cycle. When I'm in the same proximity as him I want him but when I'm away from him I'm okay. He's cute and funny. My friends say that I shouldn't be with someone who doesen't accept me and I know that's true. I am around other guys who treat me better and I know that I don't deserve to be treated the way he does to me.
So today when you like someone make sure that they like you for who you are. You could be a supermodel or the homecomming queen but if they don't get impressed or don't pay attention then they don't derserve you. The things that you are impressing them with, one day someone else will be impressed and more importantly they will like you for who you are.
As hard as it is be yourself but first be friends with yourself. As much as this has been said you have to love you in order for someone else to love you.
Later,
Paige

Always Tell People How You Feel
Hello and welcome back to another edition of "Social Life." Tonight I am going to talk about the "What Could have been," and "The one that got away."
9 Years ago I met a guy at a party. At first I didn't like him but I talked to him and he liked me. he thought that since I was a year older I wouldn't be intrested in him. I wasn't at the time but the more that I talked to him, the more I fell for him. I was ready to tell him how I felt but all I said was "Nice Meeting you, bye."
I regreted it more than anything and after wishing to see him again I finally told him the truth. He said that if he was single he would go out with me. He said he had a girlfriend but couldn't stop thinking of me.
For a long time he was "The one who got away." I recently got back in touch with him and I realized that he wasn't the guy who I thought he was.
That experience taught me that you should always tell people how you feel because you may never get a second chance. Then they will never know how you feel and you will always wonder what could have been.
So today take chances. Put your heart on the line and if it doesen't work out then you know it wasn't meant to be and you could move on. It's much better that knowing you had a chance but didn't take it and wondering for years "what could have been."
C ya next time,
Paige

Honesty is the Best Policy
Hey everyone,
I bet you missed me last week huh? Well for your info I was away on vacay in the lovely AC. While I was there things happen that usually don't happen. I hate to be a downer and everything but I went clubbing and actually met a couple of guys. Some weren't that great but there was one special person.
Alot of times people say that when you go to bars and clubs you shouldn't give info for safety reasons and not date people that you meet there. Everytime I went out I would give fake info since people told me about the guys at bars and clubs. I never really cared until last Friday.
I was at a pool party with my friends and spotted this cute guy with his friends. I danced my way over there and one of his friends introduced him to me. Me and him started talking and dancing. When he asked for my name I lied even though I liked him. Later on he asked if I was from around there and I lied and said I live in CA (Which I don't). As time went on I saw how nice he was and how we had stuff in common. He seemed to like me but probally thought that it wouldn't work because I live far away. He kept asking me about CA andI answered since I go there alot and hope to live there one day. I felt guilty for lying and it wasn't until he was gone did I realize that I wanted to get to know him.
I believe in fate and that everything happens for a reason. So I am going to try my best to let fate take it's course and hope to meet him again one day. When I do I will tell him everything. I know I met him for a reason.
When you meet someone today be on guard, don't give out to much info but take chances. Be honest when that someone you like comes to talk to you and always tell people how you feel because you may never get a second chance and then will always wonder what could have been.
Until next time,
Paige

Everything Happens For a Reason
Hey, I'm back and tonight I think we could all relate to this topic. You have heard of the saying Everything happens for a reason right? Well I believe it does.
I heard it when I was younger and as I got older I experienced it more and more. The first time that I felt I truley exxperienced it was when I was in 8th grade. My best friend is older than me and she happens to do my hair. She used to do my mom's hair.
She was supposed to do me and my mom's hair the day before graduation. I was at the mall that day since I had a final and knew she was comming later. I thought that I would be home in time but I wasn't. She did my mom's hair and to my suprise even better she did my hair the day of graduation and even came to my graduation. We then all went to the diner afterwards.
It's so funny when little things like that happen. Your in a rush because you have to be somewhere but then something better comes along.
When things don't go your way today and for the future don't worry even though it's tempting. Just relax and know that it is all about God's plan. Everything happens for a reason.
See you next time,
Paige
