Being a teenager I know every thing matters for esteem and so first I threw my entire ego aside and started to accept things calmly. I made my mind to answer all the questions which create confusions in the mind of people. For example; once a high school friend of mine asked me abruptly “What is your relationship with Osama Bin Laden?” I changed it in a humorous way and said “Yeah he is my uncle!” (And we both laughed)</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0163D913-35EC-4F82-BFE3-DED4DDC3A44C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
