[17/m] I've got such strong feelings for a girl i hardly know. Is this normal.

I'm only 17 and don't have much experience with these kind of things. I usually just keep quiet about it and get on with my life but this one seems to be eating me from the inside. Just typing this has clenched my throat up, i've never really felt this way before.

There is this girl called Shannon, she is a senior just like me. I have never noticed her before until this year and she apparently lives down the street from me. I find her adorable!!!

I can tell she has low self esteem and have heard people talk about how ugly she is(she has bad teeth). But i find her absolutely lovely. My teenage hormones can barely be kept in check. I just find her ADORABLE!!!!!!

I was talking to a friend in art class and she came up and asked him a question about their project and he kind of blew her off. I remember thinking in my head "shit shit shit she is coming over here, she is so adorable". She left without saying much and i kick myself everyday for not talking to her, asking her just ANYTHING. A couple months pass and i see her every other day in a computer class. She is always wearing her headphones and i can tell she is very lonely and doesnt have much self esteem. I hate seeing her like that, because she is so freaking beautiful despite her teeth, which i don't mind at all but my friends seem to get hung up on them. Anyways, we will be graduating soon and i just wish i wasn't too big of a pussy to say something to her. She seems content with herself but i have noticed that she is a very lonely person and when i see her in the hallway she always seems a bit depressed or mad. I know i should really just man up and say hello and make her laugh because i FUCKING ADORE HER SMILE. But i just can't, there is no good time to do that. She is always wearing her headphones and on her laptop, i don't have any classes with her and every time i see her she just doesn't seem like she wants to be bothered. I have never really seen her talk to anybody. Oh my god this is just too much, i wish i had a class with her. I keep telling myself that i will kick myself for at least not saying something before the year is over and i never see her again. But i just can't bring myself to do it because i'm a pussy and there never seems to be a proper time.

Me and my friends used to talk about "girls we would bang" but after seeing this girl, I don't want to bang anybody. I would rather have a 5 minute conversation with this girl than a whole day with Jennifer Lopez.

I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!!
