in high school alot of the guys think my best friend is really pretty and i mean i am happy for her but im kinda jelous i guess because i always feel ugly around her and not very confident. She is not only pretty but she also is really outgoing and nice so she makes friends easily. She always tells me when another guy likes her and i dont know how to respond. What can i do to feel better and still be good friends?

I went through the same thing!! You need to look at yourself and find what the good in you. Never compare yourself to others. Your girl may be very attractive, but you need to see your own beauty!!! When you see that in yourself, your confidence will definately be high! They guys like that!!

lol i know how you feel, i went through the exact same thing in highschool. I had a friend that was exactly like your best friend and i always was secretly alittle jealous but after a while you learn to get over it. Just stop comparing yourself to her, everyone is there worst critic. I learned to get over it and i know you will too. Just enjoy the time that you and your friend have together and try not to think about who's prettier. If she tells you that a guy likes her, be happy for her, tell her if you think he's cute, have fun. Have fun while you guys are together in high school, dont dread on looks or who's more popular, that will only bring your self esteem down and thats not a good thing.

My best friend was like this. My last date was freshman year in high school for Homecoming. I'm going to be 27 in a month. That should give you an idea of how long ago it was.
Anyway, she would constantly tell me about guys checking her out and whatnot. She was married and has a son and she would still tell me about the guys that liked her in high school and the guys that checked her out daily. It really bothered me because she was married and shouldn't she have moved on?
Ultimately, she cheated on her husband, divorced him and now lives with the guy she cheated with. All this happened in a matter of months. Quite shocking.
Mostly, they brag because they aren't confident enough to believe that they are attractive and they feel that they need reassurance.
My recommendation is to tell her honestly how it makes you feel when she tells you about all the guys interested in her. If your friendship is genuine, she'll accept what you say and consider your feelings.

It's tough being friends with a really pretty popular girl. If you don't think you have the self-confidence to handle it then maybe spend more time with other friends and less with her.
A lot of the pretty girls from my h.s. ended up old and ugly later on in life, if that makes you feel any better.

pretty is really on the inside, so just dont be jealous and love yourself cause looks change as u get older.
dont feel ugly, feel beautiful inside and u will look beautiful outside.
be nice and go wid the flow

You just tell her how you feel and then if she doesnt respond to it just ditch her I mean a real friend would change her looks for you.

It's okay, I'm a girl and I like this guy..He's my best bud, and he's really cute. So, just feel confident about yourself, dress cool, and if she does't like you the way you are; get another girl.
Hope I helped you out a bit..
