I'm a high-achieving sixteen-year-old girl currently attending a school that seems to be the source of my troubles.
I'm really insecure about the way I look. I get told I look pretty, etc. on a daily basis by both girls and boys but it doesn't seem enough to relieve my insecurity because of certain goings on. There are two gossipy girls in particular at my school who, although have complemented my appearance, seem to look me 'up and down' and start to laugh. Ouch. This is when I become paranoid and want to cry.
They recently found out I like a boy. My attire is expensive and tasteful and can draw attention to me sometimes. They crush me by asking me if by donning such I'm trying to impress this boy but, although I am, it isn't exactly something I'm ready to share with girls like them.
You have to understand that I'm not an emotional wreck—I don't want to start crying solely because of that because there's more to it. I just can't understand why girls can be so cruel. What is their problem?!
