Q: Okay I really need help with this. In 7th grade, I always felt so alive. Then when I was in 8th grade, I still did but my energy/ fun and being active,hyper,outgoing started to decrease but it was still there. Now I'm in 9th and I just don't feel like I used too. I want to go back to my old self but everytime I try I just feel out of place. I want to feel more confident like I used too. I just don't know what to do and it is hard to explain. But I want to know if anyone has been in this situation and how they changed or if anyone has any advice? Thanks!

Hi! I have been in the same situation as you. When I was in 7th grade life was great. I was confident, hyper, and always thought everybody thought I was hot and had a crush on me. Then when I got to 9th grade...my self esteem crashed, I got quiet and shy, and I thought everybody thought I was ugly and hated me.
Can you believe I went for a whole year with that mentality!?
Now I am in 10th grade. Although my self-esteem is low, It has gotten better. I've started looking myself in the mirror and listing off good qualities. I also have begun writing down my feelings whenever I am upset. I am still quiet and shy, but I talk more than I did last year, and I've been trying to make more friends. I've been putting forth effort. And now I've realized that I'm not ugly and people do like me!
For me, it was my self-esteem that killed who I used to be. That could be the case for you, but you also may just have grown up. My advice may not be the greatest because I have not exactly solved my problem. If it is your self-esteem, I suggest what I said above that helped me, or talking to your guidence counselor.
I'm rooting for you, and I'm sure within time everything will get better for you!! Good luck!!

Hi, I'm Jen. I'm a 15 yr. old sophmore at my highschool. I'm just an all-around-average girl (okay, I'm not THAT average) I enjoy giving advice and asking it lol. I play the trombone in my school band and jazz lab, I sing in the chorus and in my church choir, I have a few friends but not a crapload...and I'm always there for my friends with advice! Sometimes its not always what they want to hear, but I always mean the best. So, ask me a question and I'd be glad to answer!
JEN!!
