ever feel like..., your friends are better than you? Options

[colleen92]

do you every feel like your friends have more money or are prettier than you? i do sometimes. i almost always feel pretty and fortunate when i'm at my house or with family. i think it might be because they love me and i don't have to impress them. but when i'm with some of my friends i suddenly feel like i'm not so pretty. i go shopping with them, to movies, or over to their houses (which are of course huge) and i feel like they have so much more than i do. they shop at abercrombie and lacoste just because they can. sometimes i get sick of it. even though they're my really good friends, i sometimes feel like i'm not rich or pretty enough to hang out with them. everyone says that they'll mature in a year or two and everything will be fine. i really hope so.

has anybody felt like this? what happened?

I guess my friends were considered the "elite" group in high school. Among us were the valedictorian, salutatorian, student govt president, varsity soccer team members, and so much more. I'm a bit mediocore at best. I know they loved me and they never made me feel smaller than them and all.. but you wish you were as good as them at times. Now we're off to college and most of us are ending up at a local university. But a few are off to Ivy leauges and special programs on full rides. Hopefully I'll find even footing there.
