Neverending misery

I think because im not popular in my class I will be lonely all my life. I look around me and wish I was like everybody else. Sometimes I cut myself because I cant deal with this any other way. I hate thinking bout going to college or anytin because its not going to get better. Everybody tells me how pretty I am but I never had a boyfriend or kissed anybody. In ten years time I see myself as a recluse crazy person. Does anyone else get this feeling? What do I do?

did you try becoming popular in class? Maybe that will help your feelings

Not really. Some girls were nice but I was anxious to talk and be friends

Okay! Please stop basing your value of yourself on what other people thing of you. Only you know you, what you've done, how good a person you are, etc. Popular or not popular, as long as you believe in yourself that is all that matters.

As far as high school v college go...take it from me, it is WAY different in College. There are less clicks and more diversity. It actually should be a welcome change for you. People suck in high school. I am much older (37) and was popular in high school but can remember how awful people treated eachother. Trust me, it gets better as you get older.

You will not be lonely your whole life. Change your attitude a bit, look at the positive and it will attract positive things to you!

Dont worry about not being popular in highschool, trust me highschool is a tiny prart of your life, in a few years highschool and all the popular kids will be history. trust me dont beat urself up about being popular or not, be urself and ull find true friends, not just people that hang around you because thats what everyone else is doing. Im in college and in no way is it the same as highschool, there are no popluar people or nerdy people and in real life there isnt either. In college you do your own thing with your own friends and nobody gives a crap about popularity. And im sure your a wonderful person and finding true friends that dont just like you becasue your popular is worth soo much more. I hope ull forget about being popular and just live your life and if popularity comes out naturally then embrace it but either way make sure you make real friends who love you no matter your "pop" status and about the boys and kiss or w.e it will come it always does but usually when you least expect it so dont stress about it and just enjoy h.s take care

thats what you do daniellem, talk to everyone! Don't be shy make everyone your friend. and popularity doen't have to be about whatt other people think of you, but what you think of yourself. Self confidence goes a long way. You shouldn't hurt yourself over what others think of you, but I can see that you want to be popular because it will make YOU feel better and thats what its all about. you.

Take me for example. I am popular in school, but I dress how I want, speak as I do, and act as I will, and everyone loves me for that. Thats what I mean about self confidence. People like that.

alrighty lemme break it down 2 you this way. popularity is not a factor in friends and relationships. its who you r.
talk 2 people and find interests. slowly build up some self esteem and courage

I havent had a boyfriend or kissed anyone either. all you need is friends.
and when your older that doesnt matter. nobody has the need 2 fit in. they just want to improve their life. so dont worry about most of that stuff now tho.

Thanx all of you were very helpful I hope I can feel better
