see title ... nothing i do is ever good enough. i give my heart and soul to school for a freaking 3.7. i try so hard at band and i'm still second part [when i've been a first part most of my life. a FRESHMAN beat me.]. i try hard at flags at my school but i'm not that good...it's just so frustrating how i can't be so good at ONE thing. nothing i do satifies me and i'm starting to think it's so pointless to keep trying to just fail and not be good enough for myself anyway ... and it always feels like my parents are thinking i can do better, and i try, but it doesn't happen. maybe i'm just not meant to be smart, or good at anything, just another nameless someone :/ ... has anyone ever felt like this?

Are your parents hard on you and criticize you?
Think about yourself as special no matter what others think of you.There is only one you.
If you have trouble with people being hard on you talk to a school counselor.

Who cares? You do. Did you do your best? If the answer is yes, that's ALL you can do. Yes, I've tried, and failed miserably, but I did my best. We all have different talents which we can develop. We all learn in somewhat different ways. Quit feeling sorry for yourself. Your parents are ALWAYS going to push you to do better because they love you and want the best for you. With a 3.7, you're not stupid. You lost first chair? Maybe the kid who beat you only has that talent. Perhaps you are second in many things, but not first in anything. Few people can say that, and fewer will admit it. Remember Einstein--he failed fifth grade math. By what you say, I guess he didn't have what it took. You're right of course, he was so bored with it, he couldn't slow his mind down enough. 'nuff said. Go find your niche and rock the world.
