You've got to stop trying to be cool. Cool people don't have anything to envy. It might seem like they do, but half of their relationships are a facade.

Being overweight is no hindrance to making friends. I'm overweight (about 200 lbs) and I have tons of friends. And a boyfriend, for that matter. Stop thinking that being overweight is holding you back from anything. Just be confident that who you are is what people are really looking at!

If you do things just to be cool, then people will probably laugh more. Just remind yourself of that. Being who you are, no matter what that is, is always more interesting than trying to turn yourself into something you're not.

Don't be disgusted by smoking or drinking. A lot of people do it. Just don't do it in the future. If you're somewhere where people are drinking, just drink the mixer instead of the alcohol. You'll have a lot more fun sober than drunk. As for smoking, I'm sure you know the health risks involved.

Actually, I knew a girl in my Grade 9 health class who was a heavy smoker. We were shown pictures of some of the things that can happen when you smoke, and this is the one that made her get up, break each and every cigarette in her purse in half, throw them out and declare that she was never going to touch one again... and she didn't.

I'm going to do one tiny lecture. I promise, this won't hurt ;)

You've got to stop feeling sorry for yourself. Feeling sorry for yourself implies that there's something to be sorry about. Cutting your wrists does not accomplish anything. It's just self-pity. If you want to stop something, stop it. Don't cry in the dark and cut yourself, because that's not going to do anything about the actual problem. Be strong! You can do what it takes to get your life where you want it.

i dont have experience in drugs but i do with smoking. when i was 10 i started smoking because of a lot of bad stuff going on in my life. i smoked for about a year and one day my sisters caught me. what helped me is whenever i saw a cigerate i ripped it in half and reminded myself i dont need it to feel complete. because honestly, smoking will not make people stop making fun of you. if anything it just gives people more reason to actually, they could say you were only doing it to become cool (not a lecture im just saying)

hope it helped a lil
