Reject. No one wants that title, but all too often it is given out without a second thought.

    Typically it is the boy who asks a girl to events, such as prom or homecoming, and has to

deal with this fear. However, rejection can be a two-way street.

    For guys, they worry about whether or not the girl they ask will accept their proposal (of

sorts) or reject them. But did you ever consider that girls also have to deal with this?

    What if the guy a girl hopes to have ask her, doesn’t ever ask? Rejected. But even worse

than not having a guy ask you, what if everyone in the school seems to know that you

desperately want him to want you?

    Yeah, that would be called social embarrassment.

    Though I am known in among my close friends as one of the bolder ones, I am terrified to

ask a guy to a dance, especially if I don't know him well. Sometimes, on rare occasions, I

realize how idiotic it is to be so scared of stupid things like that, and this realization has

caused me to take some risks and be bold and gutsy. The result? Maybe five minutes of

regret, then a feeling of self-satisfaction for coming out of my shell.

    Rejection is something that everyone will face at some point in their lives. It may be the

rejection of a job or college application, or being rejected from a social event.

    With all these different ways you can get rejected, it is difficult to imagine getting

accepted.

    Rejection by someone you like or have some sort of affections for is the worst kind. It is

followed by embarrassment and awkward situations.

    A painful experience rejection is. All too often it is an experience that discourages people

from pursuing their hopes, wants, and dreams. Too many relationships would not have been

formed if it weren’t for the bravery and courage that some of our peers posses.

    No matter what, rejection is never as bad as it seems. So what, if for one dance you don’t

have the date of your choice? So what if you never get the guy of your dreams because you

are too scared to ask him, due to fear of rejection.

    Get over it. Rejection is a common human experience. It's only temporary. Just know that

you are not alone.
