I Struggle With My Body Image

I see all of my flaws with my body. Does that guy I like think I'm pretty enough? Why can't I be prettier? Will my hair get messed up today and start to look bad? Am I too fat? Do I put on too much makeup or do I not put on enough? What if I start sweating and start to stink? I worry about all this stuff.

That's normal for your age, so don't worry too much. You'll find that most people in high school are extremely shallow and care way to much about looks. The good news is once you get out and you're talking to older people, you'll find that some of them will start loving you for the right reasons, like your personality and not your appearance.
Something I've come to realize in life is that the people who are really worth the time are the people who accept you for you. Who can see past any appearances and care for what's on the inside.

In this world it's hard to be yourself. Trust me, I know how that feels.

Drop the world and all of your expectations and just be yourself. When you do that the real friends will come out from the woodwork and you'll have a good group of people who care.

Life's too short to worry about superficiality. When you find the one, he or she'll make you forget everything you ever worried about.

Know that you are among many that see so much fault.
If you stay this way, you will have people not stay around you much, why? they will get bored with your drama of you.
Get into hobbies that give you a sense of you. You are your happy KEY in life. Your hobbies will help you settle into you and not have you be so insecure about you.
Your job is to know and to love all that is you. You are the foundation for your happy in life.
To have self love will set you apart and this will help you fit better in you. Self love, will not have you be a wimp and at the wimp of others.
stop trying to please other people and please yourself.
