Yesterday, I saw the old lady fall down when I was hurrying to school. I was about to help her up while suddenly a passer-by stop me, saying that I might be accused of knocking her down. Heard his words, I began to hesitate and slowed down my steps. At the same time, another student, that saw everything, went up to help. The old lady said nothing but lots of thank to the good boy. I felt ashamed.
As is know to all, helping others is forever a good virtue. Even though some old people are becoming immorally, we can’t let it to disappear. I have made my mind to reach out my hand without hesitation next time.

How to Stop Being Boy Shy
Shyness and feelings of insecurity towards the opposite sex are normal. It is part of growing up. Sometimes, adults even experience the same issues. If you’re a young girl and you find that you’re shy around boys, you’re not alone. However, it doesn’t mean that you always have to be that way.
There are things you can do to start overcoming your shyness. Here are approaches you can take to stop being boy shy.
1._______________You need to develop your self-confidence and self-respect. You need to look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself every morning that you’re a good person and you have a lot of great qualities. Give yourself a mental pep talk (鼓舞士气的讲话) so you can start believing that boys and other girls will like you for who you are. It doesn’t matter if you are not beautiful, have low grades or still have baby fat. If you want other people to start liking you, you need to like and accept yourself first.
2._______________ Boys of your age are going through the same thing you are, so they also have feelings of insecurity and uncertainty. The boy may be shy too! The difference is that boys tend to cover up their shyness and insecurity by being more loud or lively. If you start thinking that you’re all really the same at heart, you’ll find that boys will be much more approachable.
3._______________If you would like to start winning friends and make an impression that you are approachable, smile when you make eye contact with someone. It’s a signal to the world that you are friendly and are open. When you smile at someone, the boy know that you are accepting him.
4._______________ When you’re trying to get over your shyness around boys, don’t go the other extreme and behave shamelessly. Just be yourself and don’t be something or someone you’re not. Don’t agree to things in the conversation just to make him like you. Express your own opinions. Be original. You also don’t need to dress in a strange manner to attract their attention.
5._______________ There are many things to develop your self-respect and make you feel good about yourself. If you want to stop being boy shy or get over your shyness in general, then you need to develop yourself. Find things that interest you and explore it. If you love music, take singing classes or join the choir (合唱队). If you love art, start painting. Don’t make your life move around boys because there are so many other things you should be focusing on. It’s OK to work on your shyness, but it’s shouldn’t be your goal in life to get a boyfriend.
It’s up to you to get over your shyness around boys. Relax and take a deep breath so you know you look your best. Smile and be approachable so you don’t have to be boy shy anymore.
