ignorance, or being ignored?

Well, no offense Kyeruu, but if you acted in school like you act-ed (hopefully you have changed) here, you probably don't have a very good reputation. Back in 7th grade, I was the meaning of obnoxious. I would brag, I would insult people out of the blue, and I would just say things without thinking.

Let's just say I've come a long way. But during the transition which was mostly in 8th grade, I was really quiet. I guess people's reactions towards me and my bad reputation shut me up.

The best advice I can give you Kyeruu is to continue doing what you're doing: act like a gentleman and be nice. Eventually, people will look at you in a different light and you'll start forming friendships again.
