Don't be so hard on yourself honey! There's someone out there who will love you no matter what! Popularity is SO overrated and is not a big deal, so relax. You'll find as you get older that it's not important to fit in with the "in" crowd. In fact, it's better that you don't. I'm now 28 years old and used to be popular in school, now none of that matters. Just be kind to everyone, that's what people remember. There's probably so much that you have that those popular and "attractive" people would give anything for. Cherish yourself for who you are inside, the way God made you! You are beautiful in His eyes!! and very special too!! Focus on the positives and blessings in your life. Be grateful you have 2 legs and hair and things like that. Some people are forever handicapped or due to cancer, have no hair. Personality and kindness go way further than outer appearances or being liked by everyone. To sum all of this up, just keep your head up. Focus on what you can do. Not to sound "corny" but do something good for yourself like get your nails done or a conditioning treatment for your hair, or order some Proactiv for your skin. Start eating healthy and exercise, if a better body is what you want. I hope in some way, I have helped you a little. You will find a good guy for you, don't give up. Enjoy your life!! Sincerely, Brooke

First of all,not all girls with boyfriends are beautiful and slim. Also you didn't say how old you are,but first,work on being very clean (hair and body and clothing).Then,try to be friendly, not pushy,but be sure you have a smile for people. Look them in the eyes and be pleasant. Think about other people,making them feel at ease and special. You may not be popular, but be sure you take part in school activities. If sports don't interest you,ge to music,or drama,or volunteer in some way. Your figure will greatly improve if you take up running or walking. No $ is needed for these activities and they ate so good for you...biking is good,too. If you become interested(in things),you become interesting. Good luck!!!

Attitude goes along way.When I was in 7th and 8th grade,I was kind of homely and shy.I watched the popular girls and how they acted.They had confidence,not the snotty kind either.They said hello to everyone in the hall whether they knew them or not and it made people want to know who that was that said hi to them.Then I learned how to put on makeup by asking friends cousins etc.and started acting the way the popular girls did and it worked,I then became popular.It also helps if you get involved in things like if your not into sports or pepclub,see if you can work on the school newspaper.Hope this helps cause it's been a very long time ago I did this.I think boys like someone who is friendly because believe it or not it's scary for them too.

Well, FYI honey...you should email or instant message me so we can get this convo rolling because I can help you. I'm about to be 17, a senior in high school...and BOY do i know the pressures of trying to be all that, and in with the preps and the in-crowd. Ok, so I'm not the most beautiful girl in the world, and I don't shop at Nordstrom's and Baker's and keep up with all the latest trends. I do me, which is what makes me unique you know... I mean, i don't walk around looking like a cast member from Napoleon Dynamite but I don't try to outshine others. What you can do, is (thsi is really hard) Accept yourself over time. Find a few good traits about your body like...your hair, your smile, your legs, your shoulders your feet something, and make it stand out the most while working on your other "flaws" which really aren't flaws they just aren't as FABULOSO as your best traits. So...you are beautiful, and I don't even have to look at you to tell you that. I mean, don't do anything drastic like get Plastic Surgery or Lipo or anything unless you've really really thought it over cuz a lot of girls at my school do that. But, if it's corrective surgery like Lasik, or teeth straightening, or bone realignment then yeah you should jump at it. But there are more ways than one to skin a cat...remember that. For now, use your personality to outshine your "flaws" ok? You can contact me and talk to me if you like hon. I hope it all works out for you.

you will be fine....make friends with the girls and hang out, go to the movies or wherever it is you hang out in your town....you will get noticed.
In the meantime, you need to make friends at school, maybe not hang out on line so much and join the real world.....outside where people are at doing things. And, you have plenty of time...you are young why not just enjoy high school and not worry about boys so much, and all of a sudden they will notice you.
And I will tell you a secret....when you are 30 you will be knockout with a great career, and those popular girl's will be married, have 2 or 3 kids with no time for a career and be jealous of you......
hang in there!

Make friends, find people who like you for who you are, and i know it's hard in school and places, but you will find people that care about you and want to know you for who you are, because really, and with all the media and everything, it doesn't seem so, but it's who you are on the inside, not the outside, because real, caring people don't care about that stuff. And it can be extremely hard to find those good people, but you jus have to seize the chance, but more importantly, do you thing, live it up for everything, you don't NEED a man!

You dont have to be a stick, or have a perfect face or anything! You have to just be yourself. Never want to be like anyone else just because guys like them more. If they like that girl for her appearance and not personality forget about them!! All you have to do is act like yourself. There will be a guy who appreciates you for who you are. Dont worry it takes time but it will all be worth it.. trust me.

I thought school was for educating ourselves? With all the peer pressure going on,I can see why you'd want to get notice...but word of advice.Be you,don't change you for people to see what they want you to be change you..for you..love who you are please. ..keep them guessing.If someone likes you for what you have they are not worth you.You are special.and for a special person,that's why you haven't been discovered yet.Keep your head up don't give your self to anybody wait..he's out there! Right now school is what it is!

You cry, because obviously no one will ever love you.
Get over it, if you feel the need to be praised by some guy then you're obviously not mature enough to have one.
