Ever since 8th grade I have struggled with having and keeping friends. I'm a senior in high school now and I'm still having trouble. People seem to be very jealous of me. I get told constantly "I never thought you'd be this nice, because you're so pretty and I though you were stuck up" or with my friends it's "well I mean I'd invite you to the party, but then all the guys would be all over you." or "everytine I introduce you to a guy, they always end up liking you, so I'm not
inviting you."
I'm so upset about this. I've been crying about this for the past week, because I'm down to 2 friends. I know it sounds silly to cry abou being pretty, but it's not fair, why are
people judging me like this. I never go after guys they like, I'm kind of shy so i hardly talk to guys.
Now, my last two friends are even starting to abandon me. The one is hanging out with this girl, because she said "now she's the pretty one." and she gets all the guys attention. My other friend refuses to eat around me, because she wants my body. And she has begun hanging out with these heavier girls.
I just don't know what to do. I only have 3 months of school
left, and I dont think I can make it any longer. I've asked
my mom if i can just take online classes to finish the year. I'm just so depressed about this. My best friend has been my best friend since 8th grade and she has alwYs been insecure. She had a severe eating disorder last yea that she almos died from.

(sorry if you mentioned this, sometimes I miss words.) Sorry this isn't a great answer, hope it helps and good luck [ TurtleChickThing's advice column | Ask TurtleChickThing A Question ]
