zebralove agony auntNoooo!! Dont change who you are just to "fit it". At your age I wish I was more like you are now. Girls in High School are too "boy crazy". They forget about them selves just to be what they think a boy will like. Do you see guys stop playing sports or hanging out with they'r friends just for some girl? HELL NO! So why should you stop what you want to de for them? Being friends with them is more valuable anywais. Oh and study hard! LOL ;)

Yessss you MUST get a boyfriend or you won't be accepted by your peers (who could give a damn about you for that matter). Oh my God. Why don't you just CHANGE FRIENDS!

Seriously, young lady, DO NOT do something as stupid as getting a boyfriend for the sake of it. If you find a person with a nice personality it's one thing; if you want to "demonstrate adulthood" to your peers you'd better concentrate on studying! They'll envy you more, no doubt.

You need a diploma more than a showcase boyfriend! So get down on your books, we look forward to your graduation ceremony!

SUPER HELL NO!!! Tomboys are soooo much fun :) Well for me anyway. Never be a follower, always a leader. Never let what people say or do shape your life. Just be you, and the right guy will come along.

redandgreensoup agony auntNo! I'm 15 and haven't had a boyfriend yet (I'm a girl, just to clear things up) and yeah I want a boyfriend, but not to fit in. If you are going to have a boy friend it has to be for yourself and him, not just because you're scared what other people think. And besides, I bet your friends don't even care that you don't have a partner. Just wait until you meet the right guy. :)

Blod agony auntNo. Be yourself. There's nothing wrong with being a tomboy or not having a boyfriend. You're perfect the way you are. You're you and that's what matters. You're still very young and you'll find a boyfriend one day who loves you just the way you are. Don't get a boyfriend for the sake of it.
