Never put yourself down. You most likely don't know all the facts. I go to a camp in Arkansas, and while I'm not unpopular, I have always felt that I hit that generic look, the one where no one dislikes you, if only because they forget about you. But, as it turns out, that isn't true. Now, I have been bitter in the past about little kids and animals loving me, but not my peers. And its true. Kids LOVE me. And animals trust me. Adults like me too. But the teen crowd doesn't seem to care either way. I have never been good about hanging out with guys. Growing up around a ton of sisters, even having one as a twin, means I feel more at home hanging out with girls. Because of this, I've always accepted that I wouldn't be the rising social star of the teen guy crowd. Teen girls are.... difficult. They either are dying to have you around because your a BOY or your presence makes them uncomfortable. But as it is, over all, I slide in well with the guys or the girls when I want  very easily. My point is, you can always look at your life and find so much bad in it. Your not as well liked as you could be, or you have lost your once close relation with your parents. Maybe its something bigger, like one of your close friends is moving to Mexico, and you may never see him again, or someone close to you has recently died. But you can only see darkness because it stands against light. If all you can see is darkness, you are either blind, or their is so much light in your life you take it for granted. Why do you still remember how mad you are at the guy that spilled coffee on you two weels ago, when you can't remember that wonderful time you spent with your friend the other day? Perhaps its my inner pessimist, but I tend to remember how people made me small, and forget about the times I felt large. But every now and then, I look around, and see that darkness can only exist if there is also light. In fact, darkness, by its scientific nature, CAN NOT be stronger than the light that reveals it. Which means no matter how bad your life may feel, at the very least 50% of it is good. I dont know about you, but that sounds pretty good to me.
