My best definition of jealousy is:
a common emotion experienced because someone else has something or someone that we desire.
One way I think that is good to cure jealousy is by improving your overall self esteem. I've taken the approach that it is a bad habit to compare myself with another. Looking at my own talents and abilities and resisting the urge to say, "i don't have any."
Maybe a girl has a certain guy that you are wanting to be with and it is making you jealous. More often than not, I've found that the guy that you think you want, you may not want once you've got him or he may have not been the best match for you. It is hard to see that some guy wasn't the best match for us, but I know that you will find someone who is better for you and fits more into the plan for your life.
Keeping your eyes focused on the good that is in your own life helps you to not feel jealous or envious of others as well. For example, while it may be true that you don't have what another person possesses, you may have something that another person does not have. Being content with oneself, and not comparing to others. Look and focus on what you have, not on what you do not have.
Hope this helps. This is my best answer I could give without having any details on the situation.

I think most teens go thru this phase and grow out of it in their early twenties. To get beyond it, never compare yourself unfavorably to anyone else. Everyone is different. Your b/f may be a good cook, but you may have skills in making good money or good grades, etc., etc. If you are resentful of her "good looks" then go to a professional studio and get the very best make-over that you can afford. In every way, make the best of what ever your talents are. And remember, there is always someone who is much worse off than you are.

Depends on the situation and person.Does this have to due with a boyfriend,a family member,or a friend?All that plays into the way you deal with it.If it's about a bf ask yourself if he's worth fixing your issues,if it's a family member find out what they can help you with,and if it's a friend,usually it's due to them having something that you feel is yours.Like I said, depends on who you are jealous of and why???Jealousy is most of the time the inner issues we have with ourself.

Learn to like yourself for who you are and tell yourself all your good qualities about yourself and the more you will like yourself, the more confident you will be and you will not worry, or have time to be jealous of someone.
Good luck!

Just realize that you are just as good as that other person and that you have nothing to be insecure about.
