    I like a girl from gym class but she's in 8th grade and I'm in 7th
    So there's this pretty girl in gym class but I'm bad with girls. I'm in 7th grade and she's in 8th. So what should I do?

    You should just keep being a kid and not worry about girls until you are older. You are only a kid once and you can't go back...so don't rush it.

    Unless she likes you, there is nothing you can do. At your ages you need to just be friends anyway.

    That was helpful but I'm scared she will question why I'm talking to her because I'm in 7th grade

    You tell her you are the same age. If she does not want to talk to you just because you're in 7th grade, she is not worth talking to in my opinion, but she may not even care and you won't know until you try.

    Relax guy just be friendly to her, other females and everybody. Just be your honest self and stop scaring yourself with what if's. Be natural, and don't worry how people react to you, that's THEIR problem isn't it? You can't make someone like you back like you like them anyway.

    You need to learn how to talk to a girl in the presence of others. You don't need to be alone with her. Have you ever spoken to her? How did she respond?
    You are too young to be thinking about alone time with a girl.

    You're 12 and you you're worried about how to talk to a girl in the 8th grade. You don't need to be spending alone time with a girl you can't even talk to when you're in a room with other kids. Your "maturity" has nothing to do with this.

    Without the confidence to ask her, NO. There are no magic pills to building confidence. It's a process. It may take a while. Relax and take small steps my young friend. It will happen in time. I know not what you want to hear, but some things can't be rushed by hormones and attractions.

    And leave the mistakes of your past behind you and do better. You learned your lesson, didn't you? So don't worry about being judged for them. What do others know? Make any sense, or is your only concern still getting a word alone with this girl? Ask for her number and see what happens. Let us know, if you find the confidence.

    I'm not quite sure what all that means....

    Practice with other girls. Watch others (both boys and girls) and how they talk with each other -- the eye contact, the body language, the kidding around, the rise and fall of voices. Intellect has nothing to do with it. Practice!

    Before you get carried away by your newfound confidence, you better know anything can happen, GOOD or BAD. True confidence is found in rejection, as well as acceptance.

    Give up on it... if she even thought of messing around with a younger kid... she will be austricized by everyone in her class and above until she graduates high school.
