I don't measure up to the preppy girls


 

Check these out, too...

  • What to do when you're sitting next to a cheater
  • 5 last-minute ways to lift your grades
  • Flirts with you but likes a popular girl? Here's what to do
  • How not to pull an all-nighter (and stay sane if you have to)
These girls in my school are really preppy and live in really cool big houses and wear all new clothes. They are nice to me, but sometimes I think they are laughing at me behind my back.

 

Dear Not As Fortunate,

It can be hard when other girls seem to have bigger houses or newer clothes than you. But no matter how much you have, there is always someone out there who has more. So rather than dwell on your comparisons and what others have, you’re better off looking at what you do have. Do you have a loving family? Are you rich in friends? What are your special talents? You say you are not as fortunate, but money is not the only measurement. And I doubt these girls are laughing at you anymore than you would laugh at a girl whose home is smaller than yours.

 

SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.

-absolutely everyone's confidence falters in school at SOME point, so while you may feel alone, chances are, A LOT of people are going through the same thing. So confide in someone trustworthy to lay your troubled thinking at ease. Smile

Never feel like you are the lesser person. Everyone is equal no matter what and never think of yourself as less you are equal to everyone no matter.
