writes:I'm a freshman in high school, and this year I've gotten a lot more feminine. I was a serious tomboy in middle school (I've always been a bit lazy, even now) and this year I actually started wearing earrings, and... (Oh my God, wait for it!) Female clothes! No more Nintendo shirts, just pure female stuff.But people haven't treated me any different. I thought things would change this year... but nothing has. People still treat me like a dummy because I'm not the smartest tack in the shed (it's not offensive, it just gets old after a while) and they say embarrassing things about me because they think I don't mind, and I really do! I personally think I've matured a lot since middle school, and I don't want my new friends to know how awkward and annoying I behaved. But I don't want to look stupid for being embarrassed about it, so I don't say anything...I don't have many friends because I'm really shy, but the friends I do have are extremely popular. My best friend is gorgeous, and I swear 20 people have confessed to her in these past six months alone. I feel like I'm always in her shadow, because she's good at everything. She's really funny, and just fun to be around. My self-esteem is really low. I've had a lisp my entire life, and two of my teeth are noticeably half-fake from chipping them, one of them being my front tooth, and on top of that, I have braces.I'm 6"1, and I'm only fifteen, so I feel really self-conscious about it. I don't really like wearing shorts to school because my thighs are a bit chubby, and they have stretch marks in my inner thighs from growing like, over half a foot in seventh grade. It's insane. I also avoid wearing short sleeves because I have acne on my shoulders (Not anywhere else, my face is really clear. It's just a bunch of acne bumps that are sometimes red, and just don't go away. Sometimes they're big, but generally they're small.) I know I'm not ugly. I actually think I'm kind of attractive, but not drop dead gorgeous.I know it sounds lame, but I really want a boyfriend in sophomore year. ALL my friends have boyfriends, and it's not just that I want to fit in with the crowd, but I actually really, really want one. I'm jealous.Can anyone give me any advice?For my acne, and stuff? Should I be embarrassed by my acne? Please and thank you. :/
