I feel inadequate compared to my boyfriend?

He has perfect grades, a job, can drive. I have average grades, no job and I can't drive yet (we're in highschool). He knows how to cook, I don't. He's charasmatic, knows everyone and goes to parties, I've never even been to a party and I only have 5 friends total or so.

In the past he's hurt me unintentionally, but it really hurt my self esteem. I know he's well intentiones but these things still affect me. He compared my grades to his, bragging about how busy he is yet how he still manages to get straight A's, telling his family that I'm not on the honor roll while we were in the car, told me his friend said I need to lose weight while I was eating ice cream, telling me I can't dance, comparing my body to another girl's body at the library, etc.

I was pretty confident in myself before this but because of him I took many hits to my self esteem. Can someone give me advice?

    Get him to teach you to cook.

    Parents who do not teach children to cook, wash and clean do them.no favours.

    Get away from all that negativity you dont need it . As for your bf you should talk to him and tell him how you feel because this is an issue that you need to resolve with your bf. As for his stupid friends put them in their place dont let them talk **** about you tf they arent worth ****. Your bf should be backing you up and helping you out as well you dont need bs like that . If things dont work it then F him you dont him but talk to him about your feelings and see how things go from there. Goodluck !!
