ok, at my school EVERYBODY is rich. im the complete opposide. my dad hasnt had a job for about 4 or 5 years, he finally got a job but his boss always forgets to pay him. all of the girls at my school are soo gorgeous. im not calling myself ugly, because i know im not. i just need some confidence. all the girls here are all preppy beautiful girls who wear nothing but abercrombie. see i cant afford to spend 150 bucks on a jean skirt, while all the other girls can.
there is this girl johanna. she and i are pretty close. she is one of the prettiest girls in school. all of the 6th, 8th, and 9th graders think she is soo pretty. whenever i hang out with her i feel so ugly, not to mention poor. every guy loves her, i mean why wouldnt they?
all i want to know is some tips to get the guys to like ME. and how to fit in with all of these gorgeous rich girls. i just cant think of any ways.
anyone want to help me :/

I know exactly what you mean, i mean, i live in the "beverly hills" of texas or what not. Listen, dont feel like you should be as "rich" as the other girls in your school. In the end, you will appreciate it, i mean think about it. They will have no sense of how to manage their money when they are on their own, they will be running back to mommy and daddy for help. Another thing, be yourself!! A guy that is worth liking, and worth havin you, will like you for you. You are beautiful, everyone is. A guy will notice you, but dont try to get them to notice you. Have fun, be yourself, and enjoy your childhood while you have it!
Goodluck,

esbeautiful1313 answered Sunday March 26 2006, 12:00 pm: i have a really neat idea- i shop at marshalls & tjmaxx sometimes, and just the other day i got american eagle jeans for 8 dollars! you should go to one of those stores & check it out, if you really look hard you can find a lot of the same stuff those girls are wearing for way less. i have seen 7 jeans there, abercrombie tshirts, shirts from express & rampage, abercrombie jeans, & donney and bourke purses just to name a few. you should head to one of those stores & really look around, because they really do have all of this stuff for a lot less!
also -if all those girls care about is the way they look, then they aren't good friends.
but anyways, try a store like marshall or tjmaxx...good luck! [ esbeautiful1313's advice column | Ask esbeautiful1313 A Question ]
EricStarr answered Sunday March 26 2006, 9:01 am: I really like the advice that xomegaroni gave you. She's absolutely right.
Expensive cloths do not make the person. I'm sure you've heard the saying "beauty is only skin deep" but I know that doesn't help a teen girl in a peer world. What you can take from that saying though, is what it means. Real beauty comes from the inside. What really makes a person appeal to others is a Smile and confidence about themselves without a cocky attitude. That may seem hard to you because in your age group confidence seems to come from the way others view you. However, here's some tips to help you. Work with what you have. Keep the clothes you do have clean and looking the best they can.
Second. Make some small change that will make you feel good about yourself. Perhaps a new hair style, or some new makeup. Try asking your close friend (that you say is the beautiful one) to have a game of "Make over" Then the rest is up to you! Close your eyes and imagine yourself as the most confident person you can be. Smile at everyone. If your with a group of peers, and you start to feel inadequate, Pretend in your mind you are the most popular girl in school.
The truth is People will eventually see you the way you see yourself. Change the way you see yourself and you will change the way others see you as well. [ EricStarr's advice column | Ask EricStarr A Question ]
xomegaroni answered Sunday March 26 2006, 8:26 am: hmm..that's tough. juss because you aren't as rich as the other girls doesn't mean they're better than you. that's totally untrue. they could be completely rich, pretty, & have a horrible life at the same time. how?? they could be unhappy. plus, when you graduate, no one is going to remember you as the 'poor girl'. it won't even matter anymore once you guys graduate. to get guys to like you, juss be yourself. that probably sounds really corny, but guys seem like they juss want a pretty girl at first, but lets face it, if she has no personality it doesn't even matter. be friendly, nice, funny, caring, loyal, honest, etc. that's all you can really do. anyways, if a guy doesn't like you the way you are, he's not even worth it.
