You know what it's like to walk up each day and feel like you can't do anything? Like everyone else around you is soaring in the air and reaching their goals and your just on the ground laying there? Yeah, you may have had that day every now and then, but have you ever had that feeling every other day? That's what I feel like...
From the time I was in elementary school I was always different from the other kids, I was taller than the boys, I had quite a bit of curves for someone my age and I guess that turned me into a social outcast. Fast-forward to middle school where my social skills are really put to the test. Sure I made some friends at the beginning but later I we all seemed to stop talking and I was alone again by the time high school came around. This is my point in time where I'm trying to make a change, but nothing is going right. I compare myself to other girls at my school then look at myself in the mirror and wanna cry. I know that I'm to young to care about weight loss but I have nothing, my grades are horrific, I don't have close friends, I feel like I have nothing to feel accomplished about. Other girls can say 'well my grades are bad but I look good' but I can't say ANYTHING! I workout then eat EVERYTHING, I study my butt of for a test and fail miserably, I have no self control when it comes to eating and I can't even make it to honor roll.... Some days I can brush it off but other days... I just can't take it. Can anyone else relate and/or have a story they want to tell?

I somehow feel the same. I feel like others are soaring and I am still not flying. I started having insecurities in myself when I was in elementary too. You just have to try always. When you fall, you just have to get up and move on. That's just the way it is.

I use to be just like that and still sort of am with the friend part. When I was in younger grade school I was bullied every single day until I was taken away by cps and started sticking up for myself, I lost all my friends when I moved, also turned into what people say "mean" mean for what? Standing my ground for what I shouldn't be going through? I started skipping school and eventually I got pregnant and dropped out. I had no parents to help me I was all on my own. Eventually after me pulling through for me and my 21 year old bf I lost my job had a misscarage and we ended up on the streets. I use to tell myself that I had nothing Now I truly don't.. I know how it feels to be laying on the ground while you're watching everyone above you fly... it sucks...

I'm still trying to get my shit together. It's only been a year sense I dropped out but it's hard when you don't have parents you can't do anything legal or get anything done it's stressful af
