Hello, I'm a 15-year-old girl. Last year I was in 7th grade and they made fun of me a lot. When I went to high school, this problem disappeared and no one made fun of me anymore. I found many new, good and real friends. Everything went for the better. There is only one problem - I do not stop underestimating myself. Many people, classmates, friends tell me that I am beautiful, smart, etc. Sometimes these compliments improve my mood, but most of the time I am very ruined. Constantly, when I see a girl more beautiful than me and I say to myself "She is more beautiful than me, boys will not like a girl like me" and so on. Tears begin that I am not good enough, beautiful, smart, etc. This is the main reason why I can not find a friend. Many boys have talked to me and written to me, but for fear that I am not good enough for them and I repel them. If you can give me some advice to boost your self-esteem, I'm already going crazy. I will ask the moderators to publish the story, although it is insignificant. :)

Darling, I tell you this with the best of feelings - not that you underestimate yourself, but that you are envious. And from that envy, which will "eat" you, if you do not learn to look at yourself, and not others. Not that way. It is one thing to like something / someone and to want for yourself, it is another to pretend that others have it, silence. You have your good, respect yourself and like yourself as you are. And ... be careful that your new friends don't get bored of your (constant?) Need for compliments.
