Oh, I see! I'm in the 12th. Going through the ICS boards too. And I really know what you mean. Seriously, don't get too scared. These exams (I discovered only after) are like a way of preparing you for the 12th boards. So as long as you give off your best, let everything fall into place by itself, yeah? (: The board will try everything not to make someone fail their 10th boards, you don't let tension get the better of you. Life is the most important thing, ans in your life, you are the most important thing, so keep that in mind (; Yeah, it's annoying, but let them be, and just concentrate on what you have to do (:

Maybe if you feel that they don't know you, you can get them to know you again. You should be willing to show them who you are too, right? Show them the real you (: What have you got to lose? Yes, you could find someone like that on here, but you need a person who you can call, and talk to; who you call over and hug and just be with right? So try to get your friends to know you again. Let the boards get over. Concentrate on them for now. When they are over, catch up with your friends, and don't be afraid. If they really are your friends, they'll accept you for who you are, so don't get scared they'll judge you if you tell them something! (:

Thanks. I guess you are right but it is hard. And I am trying. My exams have started. Boards. I'm in 10th. So everyone is going, "These are the most important exams of your life. They decide your future." You know, it is the same thing every single person says and it's really annoying.

I guess you are right about the friends too. But it's like they are strangers. They don't know me. I am a completely different person among them. They don't know the real me and sometimes it hurts. But I don't think they'll ever get me. I am just waiting for that one person who will take me for who I am. Maybe I'll find that person on TH.

Aww. Well, if it's anything I can really relate to, it'd be the pressure of parents about exams. I know it's hard, but I guess, out here, in India, your marks and studies have a lot of say, and influence alot of things. I know it's hard, but stick through it. It'll get by soon. Just do the best that you can. That's all that matters. Don't worry about anything else anyone says. If you think you've put in all the effort you can and you're doing your best, then just let go. Let the rest fall into place by themselves. And they will. When are your exams sweets? Which class are you in?

Friends change all the time. And you can't really dictate what they're going to do most of the time. As long as you accept who you are, and are who you want to be, and you're happy being you, true to yourself, don't worry. Friends will always be there. In times of stress, I know, you'll want your friends the most, and you're unable to deal with it. Maybe you're just not looking hard enough. Maybe your friends are there. You just need to reconnect with them. If you're happy just being you, even your friends will accept you for who you are and love you. And honey, you won't be alone, you'll always have you're TH family! Always.
