Q: 14/female
I'm always jealous of other girls because I I know that their so much prettier than me. I'm even jealous of my friends. One of my friends is like so perfect: shes pretty, all the boys are like in love with her.. her life is just perfect all together. and i am SOO jealous! I reallly want to get over it but i dont know how. I'm constantly comparing myself to other people .. and i think that brings down my self-esteem.
i just want to stop being jealous because it just makes me feel worse about myself..

how do i stop being jealous? and is there anyone else out there who feels the same way ?
When i was younger, i used to feel that way too. Stop comparing yourself wid others. How can other people love you if you can't even love yourself? You have to look for positive traits on yourself and be proud of it. Do you have nice hair? Then let your hair down.
There is one more thing, remember that one shouldnt judge a book by its cover. Be careful to always be kind and maintain a great personality.

Q: My guy friend and I are both 17 and we've known each other for about 11 years now. He a good friend and everything but sometimes he says things too me that really hurt my feelings.


The other day he was at my house and we got bored and decided to go to star bucks. Well I had just gotten out of the shower so I just had my hair up in a bun and I had very little make-up on. As we were leaving he turned to me and said, "You're going out like THAT?" So I was like, "Yeah, why?" Then he told me that he thought I could have atleast tried to make and effort to look good. How mean is that?


He also feels the need to tell me when I need to start working out again, when my hair needs to be re done, he even tells me that I "look like shit" when I'm sick.


It's great that he feels that comfortable around me and all, but a lot of stuff he says is really mean and makes me feel like crap.


What am I supposed to do?
Hey, you know that only means two things. First, he's really concerned about how you look. Second, he really doesn't like the way you look however you look. Well, whenever he tells stuff like that, look in the mirror, fix yourself and also tell him that it is really rude the way he says it. Tell him you appreciate his sincerity, but sometimes it can seem pretty rude. Try not to get in an argument. You don't want your friendship to go tumbling down because of a simple thing like that.
If you are shy enough to confront him, ask someone to talk to him for you, like a common friend, his sibling, a teacher or a parent.
