    No one else can ever be you. Be the most awesome version of YOU that you can be and be happy doing what you love.

    You will enjoy your life and other people will see that...and will want to enjoy your life with you!

    All those other girls are feeling the same thing you feel. They may not show it and they may even deny it, but they are all going through the same thing. Keep focused on your goals; especially the academic ones! And no matter what goals you have, make sure you are setting them for YOURSELF and not to impress anyone else. Boys have never been proven to raise anyone's confidence. As a matter of fact I'm pretty sure they were the demise of mine in high school. Have fun, enjoy your high school years, and remember that boys have cooties. :)

    ^^^EXACTLY!! And honestly enjoy it because it means nothing when you're in the real world!

    High School is only a phase of your life. Don't worry about boys or the other girls. Just do well in school so you can attend a university. Then you will have so much fun. Right now just focus on you and who you are.

    You may "feel" that others ae "better" than you. Does that really mean they are?? You cannot judge yourself this way. You are very active and that is super. But unless you take pride in you, don't expect it from others. Take stock of all your good traits and believe in yourself. High school is a hard time, but I can assure you, when you define who YOU are, all the rest is secondary. You don't need a boyfriend to make you feel fantastic. If you aren't happy alone, you will not be happy with someone else. Once you are happy alone, the "right" guy will take notice of the self assured girl.

    Be yourself, take pride in yourself, and the rest will come. There will be so much more for you in this life if you remember that. We've all been there, and there's likely a ton of girls your age that feel the same way. Chin up!:smile:
