I’m in show choir. Show choir has less people than regular choir and consists of the best singers in the school. We get to do songs and each song is called an act. Usually kids get solos, duets, etc., and we have backup singers and dancers. Well I got 1 act while everybody else got 4 or 5. I even went and asked the teacher if there was a mistake and asked her if I could be in more acts and she said no. I feel like I was only put in show choir because I play piano. My teacher makes me feel like I don’t have a good voice and only wants me for my piano skills. It’s like my teacher has favorites and I’m not one of them.

Ugh, it always sucks when it feels like your teacher is against you. You think, "If only she knew how good I am!" Well, if she's not noticing it, tell her. Or better yet, show her. Try not to let it get to you and just do the best you can at what you are involved in. If you only get to do one act, ROCK THE SOCKS off that act! Show her what you can do. Then talk to her and let her know you feel you could handle some bigger parts if she gave you the chance, and ask her what you could do to get a better part in the future.
You also have to have confidence in yourself! How will she think you're good enough if you don't even think you're good enough? Once you believe it, it'll shine through. But most importantly, have fun! If you have too many expectations, you're bound to be disappointed somewhere down the line. So take whatever you get and enjoy it as best as you can while trying to do the best you can. Something like this is supposed to be fun, not make you feel bad about yourself. So hold your head up high and let the Beyonce in you come through.
