get out of that all boys school. i think that non co-ed schools are a terrible idea and skew the social development of kids by creating an environment that is just not how the real world works

Don't leave the all-boys school, its a sacrifice but you are most likely getting a hell of a lot better education than elsewhere. Keep your grades like they are now, work on your running, you have more talent than a lot of chumps out there even though it might not seem like it. Keep doing what you're doing.

Do you have the summer off?

Yeah, I have the summer off from school and go to my summer house near the beach for the summer. I get where you are getting at though, I really should be meeting people and going out in the summer, but like I said I'm not that outgoing anyway. I worked a job as a cashier last summer and it was terrible, I hated every minute of it. This summer I'm going for another job, maybe a lifeguard at the beach. It seems hard to meet people without another person introducing you to them.

Is a good education worth not ever being around girls? Especially when you're a growing young lad like the OP?

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

In all honesty, a lot of it is just about building up confidence. You could do a lot just working at the grocery store. Just making a concerted effort to be a bit more outgoing to everyone who comes to your register would make a big difference (I can tell you from experience). You don't have to try and have a full blown conversation, just ask them how their day is going and be in a good mood and friendly. It goes farther than you think. At some point you will feel comfortable smiling at a girl in the mall, and being a outgoing becomes just a bit easier.

Also, join a youth group. Great way to meet people of the opposite sex for your age.

I've found that the best way to gain confidence is to go up to people and start as many conversations as possible. In high school I went from a dorky 22:00 5k runner to a player who went sub 17:00. Its all about confidence.

High school is nothing like how real world works to begin. Public schools (co-ed or not) shew the social development of children by creating an environment that is just now how the real world works.

Girls make the legs weak, and the mind slow. So focus on running and getting a good career. Then marry a pretty girl you meet a church (or on a Christian dating website, where it is easy to meet girls without the soul crushing chance of rejection when chatting up some random girl in person), live a good Christian life, inherit eternal life, rock on.

I just threw up in my mouth.
