?

So I go to a school where I would say about 50% of the kids are black and 48% are white (I'm in 8th grade and go to a small Catholic school with only 178 students) anyways, most kids at my school aren't the greatest looking but in my class particularly, there's maybe a few good looking kids. Anyways, I'm friends with this girl she's light skin (half black, half white) and everyone seems to think she's gorgeous, there's 2 other girls who I'm friends with that are both black and everyone thinks their gorgeous. I just feel so insecure, I'm white and I don't think I'm ugly but the kids (mostly the boys) make me feel that way. I have 12 girls in my class, and us girls found a list the boys (there's only 6 boys; 5 black. 1 white) made naming the top prettiest girls. I was number 4 which is I know is good, but for some reason I didn't think it was good enough. It's other reasons too why I feel this way. My parents are always calling my brother beautiful, and never comment on my looks. One of my cousins said I looked pretty only in one or two pics. My other cousins always call me pretty when I feel down but you can tell they don't mean it. I just feel like no matter what I do, I'll never be pretty

I'm 13 and my height is 5'2, I weigh around 99-100lbs. I got my period about a year and half ago. My goal height is 5'4 and I was wondering if there's anyway I could reach that?! I've been told by a few people that once you get your period you don't grow anymore and I feel insecure about my height:( I generally don't have tall parents though so I'm not expecting to be tall. My mom is 5'0, and my dad is 5'6, my dad's family is pretty short, and the girls on my moms side of the family is short but most of the boys are about 5'8-6'0.

If my name was Aurora Grace (Aurora the first name, Grace the middle name but used as a last name) what would my fandom be called? I'm writing a story. Aurora Grace is well known actress and dancer.

My parents are SO ANNOYING they're literally on my back every 5 seconds, yelling at me to do things, my mom said she wanted the DSS to take me away, she even said she regrets having me. My dad yelled at me last week bc my lowest grade on my report card was an 88 \-.-/ I mean yeah my parents get me stuff when I ask but it's like they prefer my brother 10000 times than me. They're always calling my brother handsome, and a lady killer then they look at me and say "isn't your brother handsome?" It pisses me off!!! I'm going to a private high school next year (I've been in a private school my whole life) and they're always threatening to take me out for stupid reasons!!! They're so strict and they judge every single one of my friends!!! Then they go to everyone and treat me like I'm amazing but at home they're basically my bullies. I've cried because of the things they've said and they don't care all they say is I'm looking for attention and that I'm being a drama queen. Everything I say or do is bad to them, no matter how hard I try it's never good enough. Then they complain I'm a bad mood all the time but it's because I hate being with them. My parents said today that I don't deserve to have them as parents. I don't want them as parents. I just can't wait to graduate high school (which is in 3-4 years) so that I can move out and never look back.

So I'm a straight A student, and I got 2 Bs on my report card recently. When my parents saw that they exploded. They started saying how I'm worthless, that all I do is stay on my phone, I have no life (I'm 13...how am I suppose to get a life?!), and they always compare me to my cousins (who don't even get the grades I do). They're always yelling at me, and they never try to understand me. They say I'm in a bad mood everyday but it's because of them!! My little brother does bad things, and they never do anything to him but yell at him and take his wii away for 2 days. But besides that, they're always telling my brother how much they love him, how great he is, etc. When it comes to me, they don't say anything good. I say bye to my mom everyday before I go to school and she ignores me. But when my bro says bye she's like "aw bye I love you!" I feel like the most worthless person in the world right now. My parents don't understand anything, and they say that everything I say is a lie. They don't believe anything I tell them and I just want high school to come and go fast so that I leave the house. They yell at me to clean my room, and to clean the living room, dinning room, both kitchens, my bros room, and all three bathrooms while they let my brother stay his wii all day. They complain that my life isn't nearly as stressful as theirs but in reality my life is really stressful, and they make it worse. I don't hate my parents but I don't necessarily appreciate them. Any advice?

My cousin that I was basically raised with all of a sudden hates me now. She started going to the same school as I have (I've been in this school since age 4), and the first two years everything was fine. We aren't in the same grade, I'm a year above her and I've known the kids in her class longer than she has. My point is though, that 2 years ago when she started going she would tell everyone how much she loved me, and how great I am. Now, this year all of a sudden she starts spreading rumours about me saying that I'm rude, disrespectful, that I talk about her (which isn't true one bit!!!), etc. She basically acts like I don't exist in school, I always try to say hi to her but just ignores me. I don't understand, what did I do wrong?? The last 2 years, I invited her to hang out with my friends and me because she couldn't make any friends. In November she suddenly didn't wanna hang out with his anymore and made her own friends which was fine until this started happening. My mom and I literally did so much for her and her mom! I just need advice:(

So I get As in school, but I've recently dropped my math grade to a B and I have a cousin who goes to same school as me but is a grade below and gets apparently gets As too. My parents started comparing me to her saying that I say all lies, and that I don't work hard enough school when that isn't true at all!!! My cousin is literally doing 5th grade in 7th grade while I'm in 8th grade doing 10th grade math! I'm crying right now but they claim I don't work hard in school but in reality I work my butt off in school!! I keep on crying and crying because everything I do is never good enough for them. They claim they support me no matter what but I know that isn't true (for other reasons). Please what do I do? It's already too late I can't raise my math to an A as tomorrow marks the last day of our 2nd semester and I know I got second honors. (I got first honors the first semester) I'm so upset I don't know what to do

My parents found this house in my town, and love the house and everything about it (don't get me wrong, the house is gorgeous) but I've been living in my current home for about 11 years (I'm 14 now) and I'm already cooping with so much change. My dog died a few months ago (I had him since I was 2), and I'm moving to high school (I've been in my current school since I was 3-4) and I'm already stressing out about all these changes. I love the house, but I feel like my life won't be the same. Help me please?

I'm 13, turning 14, and for some reason I think I look ugly. Like when my hair is down, I think I look horrible, when my hair is half up half down I think I look fine, and same when my hair is in a ponytail. Anyways, when I look into a mirror all I see is this ugly girl. I have big eyes, with big pupils but my nose, mouth, and face is small. I'm skinny, but I have kind of wide hips (even though size 0 is too loose on me) and I'm 5'2, and weigh only 99-101 lbs. I'm not sure why I feel this way, I can't wear makeup until I turn 14 which is about 3 months from now, and I can't wait to start wearing makeup and feel confident! I forgot to mention that I also have black circles around my eyes (I've always had them since I was little) and they never go away!! I sleep properly, exercise, eat fine. I went to the doctor and they said they don't know what it is. But I think my main problem is my eyes that are making me ugly:(

So my cousin, (let's call her S) I was basically raised with her, and I always knew she hated me because she's told me before when we were little (were about a year apart, her being younger). But I always ignored, and thought it wouldn't affect me. Well, 1 year ago she started going to the same school as me (I've been in this school since I was 4, turning 14 now), and she keeps starting rumours about me. In fact, this her FOURTH time spreading a rumour. I've talked to her about the last three times, but now I'm done and sick of it. I've had my parents talk to her parents, my parents talk to her, I've talked to her, my friends have talked to her and she never stops!! Everyone in her class basically hates me now, and some friends have turned against me because of the things she's said. I want to talk to her about it tomorrow, but I know nothings going to change. I just don't know what to do anymore, she claims I talk about her but I swear on my life I don't!! And when I do, it's about fun times we've had together!! She's the one always talking about me, saying I'm rude and disrespectful (when she yells at her parents mostly her dad 24/7) and she says I'm an idiot (despite being first on honors for 3 years in a row), she also says I say she's jealous of me?? I only thought that because she's TOLD me HERSELF that's how she felt, and she claims she never told me that. I need advice. What can I do to get her to at least dial down?

I'm 5'2 and 13, I weigh 100 lbs exactly. Is my height considered to be short? I did get my period about a year ago, so I was wondering if I'll grow more? Also is my weight too little for my height?

I'm 13, turning 14 in June, right now I'm 5'3 1/2 almost 5'4. I do have my period already, I got it about 1 or 2 ago. My mom is pretty short, she's about 5'0 and my dad is short as well, he's 5'4. BUT besides my parents, my uncles are tall. They're all about 5'9-6'0. My aunts aren't as tall though, they're only about 5'0-5'2. I'm just wondering because I'm going to high school in a few months and I don't want to be short! Any suggests on I could grow at least to be 5'5? Thanks!

I'm in 8th grade, and I've been interested in journalism for about 2-3 years now. I'm very serious about it now and since I'm going to high school in a few months i was wondering what classes I should take? Thank you
