Wow, you have nice parents. Anyway, one choice is to find someone with lower self esteem than you do. I do not recommend this. I think when you do something you should believe that you can do it to the fullest. That's my advice.

hey hun- im sorry that you are facing this era where you feel almost worthless. you may have no support around you that is completely postive && that gives you enough strength to feel comfertable with yourself; so this is where you have to step in. its hard && i can relate to the situation but doing something productive like working out, getting an extra A on a paper, DEEP-cleaning youre room or whatever you may choose.. make a what you would think would be a difficult task && actually try && put effort into it && when you are finshed reward yourself with something, may seem lame && little but the little things can build up into something superior but starting out making that base is youre best bet. good luck && keep youre head up!

I'm the same EXACT way. People are out to make others feel horrible. Theres not really anything to go to, Ive figured that out. Best thing you should do is not care anymore. I mean about what they say. It's obvious that when people make fun of you they have nothing better to do or nothing going for them. Just keep your head high and, for the friend deal, go up to someone you see that's alone, or someone that no one gets along with. Friends with similarities are great for support, so meet someone like yourself :) Overall, ignore the talkers, theyre pathetic, and be outgoing and wild!

The secret to having a lot of confidence is simply to not care what people think. Concentrate on the good things people say about you even if it's just yourself. I'm a person whom people think has a LOT of confidence(maby a little too much!) so I won't steer you wrong. Hope this helps!!

work at something you like to do until you are better than someone you idolize. dont let it get to you, mothers that tell their kids that they are useless and ugly have no confidence in themselves. find an adult you can talk to, im sure there is one that has been there. when i was down, i talked to my friend's mom and it changed my life around completely. <3

Find something that you love to do, and practice at it. Whether it's a sport, acting, whatever. Practice makes perfect and as you get better, know that you are better. It will help with your self confidence.

Find out what you are good at. If you really want to make yourself feel superior, this site is a good place to start. You can mock people here all day, they really just set themselves up for it.
