Question Posted Saturday July 5 2008, 11:23 pm

F/15
I'm going to be a sophomore this fall. I've had boyfriends before. A guy I sorrta like says I'm a scene kid. I disagree. That's him.
A good few people say I'm sooo pretty, absolutely amazing. I guess I'm straightedge? I don't even curse.
I have a friend. Neither of us have kissed a guy. Since we came into highschool she's changed soo much. It breaks my heart! A few close friends of mine warn me that she seems a little 'familiar'. She's trying too hard to be like me.
She just got a boyfriend over a week ago and only told me now.
So, If I'm so great, why can't I get a guy? I am pretty shy and don't like school activities, picky, and no one understands me [in a good way].
I have high selfesteem but not so much to come off as being cocky, if you know?
But I do get jealous of others easy.
I'm willing to out with a boy, kiss him, as long as he does first.
but..is it okay to be upset with my friend? She's pretending to be me and got a guy first. I find this so odd. Oh! NOWW Shes sorta 'cool'. Her boyfriend is quarterback of class clowns.
Hah, shes such a prep

Not only do you have a problem with jealousy, you have a problem with being too competitive. You have a friend that likes who you are so much that she mimics you. Now is the problem that she acts like you, or that she does it better then you?

At 15 you should not be so concerned about having a boy friend. Your life is going to be so much fun spending it playing follow the leader. You don't have an independent bone in your body and your going to go through your life reacting, instead of acting and actually doing something with your own.

Congarts, you actually got me feeling sorry for you, that's a real accomplishment, it happens so rarely.


Reply:

I feel sorry for you, because I knew that you would and probably never will see the truth. Wow, am I surprised; you can write your letter, but not see how it drips with competitiveness. There is a saying that goes "Impersonation is the sincerest form or flattery", yet all you can do is hate her for it and want to be "yourself", better then her, (I'm just not sure how that works exactly).

I'm not sure how she does you, better then you, but my guess would be, you don't know who you are very well. Instead of hating, why don't you try learning more about who you are, you might find that not only will the boys like you better, but maybe the girls will like you better too.

And for goodness sake, stop playing the victim, it gets old real fast.

Remember, you are precious and special in your own right, you don't need to compete.

Well, I must say, your still going to see this for as long as your in highschool. Maybe even longer. Most girls are like that. Why? No one seems to know...

Though, you shouldn't think much about it. It will happen, and if it was a mistake, your most likely to hear about and then you can avoid doing the same thing. If any girl wants to try to be like you, you oughta just let them. Because you should know they aren't going to even close to you, no matter how close they seem to get.

And don't worry about who gets aguy first. Highschool is actually a terrible time. Because in the end, everyone tends to leave their seperate ways for different areas of work through colleges. Its not really worth it all unless you and your partner know it will last. You have loads of time ahead of you, and its really about that time and age plus a few more year where guys will only think of one thing and one thing only...
