Tori feels unpopular :(

    Hi my name is Tori and i'm in 7th grade. I only have 1 good friend in my class, her name is gabby. It just seems like nobody else likes me! I'm kind of honestly jelous of this one girl in my class. she seems so perfect compared to me, better body, video editor, and shes POPULAR! she has so many friends and hangs out with the guy i like. I wish I could be popular and dress as cool as everyone else. I also feel like im always being laughed at and that everyone talks about me behind my back. What should I do lifeasteens? How can I become more popular and cooler? ~Tori


Hi tori! Well I think what you should do is talk to someone about it first, because its not good at ALL to be made fun of! And it certainly doesnt feel good either. Maybe if you feel you dont dress "cool" and you're actually like really insecure about it then why dont you go out with your friend gabby and buy a cute new outfit? :) If you want to be popular then all you got to do is get some nerve and just walk up to those people. Truly the real definition for popular is having a good amount of friends, not being a bitch to you, so if they dont accept you as a friend then i would just ignore them because they arent worth it. You just have to be YOU!  and wow is this one girl self-centerd??? she kinda' seems like it! -lifeasteens

Hobo's Creep up on Hannah...

   So yesterday was just a regular day at school; I met Allison at the park before school, got our Strawberry Frapacinos at Starbucks (uh YUM), and walked about 2 blocks to school i think we were talking about a boy she likes in class making jokes about sex with him and how he prob has a small (you know what) Haha! Anyway when we past by the baseball/football/basketball/school dance place, we noticed there was some Hobo's in the baseball Dugout. They tried to talk to us and we just sorta' kinda' smiled and said hi then tried to continue walking but they started coming toward to us asking us where we were going in such a hurry and we said school and said we were gonna be late and they were doing drugs and drinking and long story short just kinda' asking us and pressuring us to do there shit. It was scary as hell! We just constantly said no and somehow got away and ran to school. Sorry I just kinda' like skippped to the end but ya i have to do enough writing at school anyway if u know what i mean.

Annie's Financial Troubles...

So last week me and my three friends went to the mall and it's so depressing how I pretty much have to just watch my friends and follow them while there just buying all the things they like. I couldn't even pay for lunch at panda express,I had to go and walk over to McDonalds wich was SOOO embarrassing since McDonalds is like fat on a stick or in a cup or in a to-go box or whatever! main point is it's just nasty. Back to my actual main point is it's just really hard being "the poor one" of the buch. Sometimes I just think what did I doto deserve that. My friends don't care and don't judge because i'm not like a kid in Africa with one grain of rice but it's just hard because I compare myself to my friends not just finacialy but appearance wise too. Anyway that is ONE of my troubles in my teen life.

Gabby's Teen Life Troubles on Appearance

My biggest trouble in my teen life right now feels like my looks. I have pimples all over my forehead and I absolutly hate it!!! Not only that I have redish/orangish hair. And YES, I HATE it, and my mom won't let me get highlights. Like seriously c'mon mom!?! People call me a "ginger". Also this doesn't have to do with my looks but I have to go to a school and there aren't very many people I like there. One girl always follows me and expects me to be her friend, she thinks just because we carpool to school that were are "BFFs"! She is sooo rude! She will put her feet up on the seats, talk trash about gays, and just gossip. Ughh teen troubles :/
