Thanks, that helped. It's nice finding someone shy like me. It's
really hard because it seems like everyone is having a better time in
school and other places because they're always talking w/ other
people and I'm all alone. So I wanna get rid of this shyness and be
like them. I think this group is really gonna help me. Thank, again.
I'll c ya later.
