I think I'm pretty. In fact, I think I'm damn beautiful. I love how I look, and I love my personality. 

I think these things because I'm not concerned with how other people think I look or how I am.

But those days are becoming less frequent. I go to homecoming, and I see these beautiful girls with these great looking guys. I go to football games, and when guys come to talk to us, they eyes glance over me and stop at my friend's or my other friend's or the girl standing next to me that I don't even know. 

And my self confidence falters. I wonder why they don't find me attractive.

Don't worry, writer. Your friends may be getting all the attention now, but that won't last forever. It might be like that for a few years, but I think you will someday find that once you leave the environment you are in now, things will change. You might doubt it, but I promise you from my own identical experience that the tables will turn. You will be swatting boys away like flies someday. Just wait patiently for a few years, don’t give others the power to weaken your confidence, and hold your chin up. Your time will come soon! 

Keep loving yourself, because anyone who doesn't recognize you for the beautiful, confident soul you are is worth nothing.

Your love for yourself is far more important than the love any other person, much less a potential boyfriend could ever give you.

You are worth so much more than a guy's feelings for you.

I totally understand you, like 100%. I wish I could tell you to keep loving yourself, like you already know you should, but often, I feel myself creeping back into the spiral of self-hate and attempting to change me. Good luck to you
