I was wondering if u can help...See my friends and I (like 7 of us) tryed out for JV soccer and Varsity soccer and only like 3 of us didn't get on Varsity and I was one of them. Its really hard to look at them practice and wear their uniforms to school knowing i am not apart of it and It makes me really mad and frusterated... I kno i will make it next year but i dont' want 2 wait.. Any advice on how to deal with my friends etc??
