Hey. I've been sort of depressed lately because I'm in high school and I'm about 6 or 7 months younger than a lot of my friends. I'm really jealous of them because I volunteer at two hospitals. I'm a greeter at one, and I do filing at the other. I volunteer Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays which totals 16 hours. A lot of my friends turned 15 halfway through this past school year (I'm a rising sophomore) and I'm just turning 15 on August 3rd. One of my friends in particular really really bugs me, because sometimes we hang out and she tells me how all of her coworkers and higher ups at work just love her, and literally tell her that she's a ray of sunshine. She also tells me about her perfect grades. I feel like asking her, "Why not just move to Stepford?" It just bugs me that some of my friends have jobs (this friend tells me about how other mutual friends have jobs too) while I volunteer doing slave jobs for no pay. It also bugs me that she's so perfect. I can't find any flaws but bragging without knowing about it. If flaws were little dots from markers, I would be completely covered in ink and she would have one little dot that probably nobody would notice because she would probably NOT WEAR MAKEUP AND STILL HAVE IT NOT SHOW AND BE FLAWLESS. Last year I volunteered at a Bible camp, and I got the little kids -_- who I really don't care for because idk they just annoy me sometimes.
Additional info, added Friday July 18 2014, 4:30 pm: I was happy for her at first (for awhile), and I congratulated her with profuse cheerfulness. But then, she just kept on bragging and it made me mad. . Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category? Maybe give some free advice about: Doesn't Fit Any Of These Categories?

You are volunteering that's awesome at least your not sitting on your butt playing video games. Who do you help at work. You help families sick people. Your not a doctor but greeting people are just as important especially in a hospital you are there showing them some one cares saying hello to someone who maybe never gets a hello from anyone. Don't grownup so fast slow down take a step back and look at your life. Focus on your family support your friends. I hope things get a little better for you [ Sweet_LiL_Angel's advice column | Ask Sweet_LiL_Angel A Question ]
