I have been feeling really ugly lately. I am kinda embarrassed cause I'm not really like all the other girls in my school and I feel like no boys in my school like me for that reason. I guess I'm one of those "scene/emo" girls. I don't really like things in my school that the other people like and I kinda struggle with making friends because of it. And I see kids who like some of the same stuff I do but I am WAY too shy to go up to someone and start a conversation. Some girls come up and tell me that I am really pretty and stuff like that but I really don't feel it cause I'm not girly enough I guess. I have gauges and my nose pierced and I feel that people don't really like them and aren't attracted to how I really am and me being myself. I feel kinda embarrassed because i haven't ever had a bf before (Ik it's ridiculous cause I'm only 15) but I just feel like a loner all the time and I feel like I have no life cause all I do is sit at home. I'm always sad and I always lie to people to get attention. I really don't know what's wrong. Can anyone try to help me in any way? Sorry about the rant but thanks for taking the time to read.

Hey sweetheart its fine to say that other people dont like you for who you are but the impression that you give me is that you dont like yourself! If you are uncomfortable with the way you look then change it, it is your body and you have the right to dress in a way that makes you happy. Dont feel that beacause you have certain feelings beliefs and hobbies that you have to dress in a certain way. I used to dress as a goth at 15 and it also attracted alot of negativity to me, from myself and others so i spent an entire summer holiday reinventing myself in a way that i felt represented me as a person not as as certain type of person (i hope your understanding me)

As for the lying, i done my fare share of that too, and got caught, its embarrasing. Forget about what you have lied about and swear to yourself that you wont do it again, prospective friends and boyfriends want to get to know the real you not a fake one!
