first step to a problem is admitting i have it and here i am, i have a problem with keeping up conversations and starting them.

Well let me tell you what happened today as that can illustrate the problem well. So today me and approx 20 kids went on a field trip to a comedy club where we had a workshop. That was fun and dandy and all but the bus ride was sooo bad. On the way there i was sitting with my friend and we didn't have much of a talk if any, i tried to get into a Disney discussion cause (lets call her Y) Y was listening to Disney music on her ipod with my friend. Didn't work so well but it was alright. They way back more silence than anything.No one in our section sat together, everyone took there own seat in the end. My friend J sat across from me, i just couldn't get much accept maybe a condom comment. I even commented on how there was nothing to talk about, and he agreed. After J,D, and most people got off the bus it was: Me with Y behind me and 2 other kids farther back in other grades (one in 12 and one in 9). So i tried so hard to start a conversation. I asked her how it was, what was she listening to, what was she going to do when she got home, and i just ran out of ideas and silence for about 5 minutes. We got to school where i chatted a bit for 3 of the 5 minutes, not much a bit better. Then i got picked up. How can this stop?
