I really do!! since I was young I did my best to avoid trouble makers..bcz I knew that I wasn't a match 4 them...and I still do!! I always treat ppl nicely.. whoever they were...even though they don't..bcz I'm scared that if I'd treat them like they do 2 me..I'd get into trouble...and I'm totally not good at fighting...I know heaps of swears..but I never use them when I should..bcz I fear the results!! whenever some1 insulted me and I know that the words were said to me...I just ignore them...bcz I'm not that strong to start a fight!!I know that ignorance is the best thing but it just makes the other person think that I'm weak...and I don't want that 2 happen!! even at home..my dad is soo nervous..he gets mad at the silliest reason..so when I need to tell him somethin I have to think about it a hundred times and I even practice how I'd say it so he won't get mad at me!! in spite of all that I'm confident and sometimes bold...I can perform in front of a big audience without being scared...I can act..sing..and even dance..it doesn't matter to me...I don't know how..but that's the case!! is there anything I can do to become stronger and fearless as long as I'm goin 2 college I REALLY need 2 b like that!! any advice would be appreciated

Well Zooz, I wouldn't call you exactly a coward. You're cautious, and it can be a good thing in many situations. You don't get in trouble often, and you don't make much enemies, if you make enemies at all. It's not something you should change, but keep. It has good advantages.

What you should never do, is to let yourself be bullied into silence. You don't have to reply to ignorant insults and such, but just don't be repressed. If you keep your head high, you'll go much further than any of them.

"If I do good, people might accuse me of selfish, ulterior motives, but I will still do it. Because I believe no one is malicious, not in their core, in their raw being.
The best in them is clouded by sorrows and fears, take those away and you'll bring out the brightest of lights in them.
Because no one can be happy without being kind, without giving ourselves to another, and we all love to give ourselves, it is our true nature.
That is why, even if I might get disappointed, I'll always give the best I've got. A single candle can light a thousand others and still burn." - Skezra

your not a coward your just being smart..i use 2 be like hat when i was real little..but every1 has their breaking points

I don't call that cowardice. I call that strength, good judgement, kindness and tolerance.

You're perfectly fine and shouldn't consider yourself weak. You'll do well at college without the need to change.
