The Corner

by Jamin Goecker, 17, Guest RTF Writer

Zack listened to the guys chattering as the bus jolted down the road. He’d been around them since kindergarten, but he still hadn’t spoken to any of them. His tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth as he prepared to say something.

~Real Advice~I am a fifteen-year-old at a small school. In the past three days I have had two friends try to commit suicide and one of them was like my best friend.

Real Dilemma:

I am a teenaged girl and I wanted to get some advice.

The problem is that I am extremely shy and I just moved to a new country (from India to US). Everything is difficult for me. The language is not, but everything else is. It has been 8 months since I came here and 5 months since I started going to school.
