If you care so much, do something about it. The popular kids are just people, as are you. They aren't better than you. Most of them are probably worse. I know doing something about your situation is way easier said than done.

I have my fair share of girl issues too, and i really have a hard time with it, but i realize that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. I do very well in school, i am very athletic, and excel in pretty much every sport i've tried and i pick up things very quickly. My dad is also a very talented musician so i picked that up too.

NOW, with all that behind me, i have social issues, and have a hard time getting to know people. I wouldn't say im "socially challenged" but im really bad at getting to know girls. I have been trying really hard to work through that, and i think you should do the same.

Think about everything that your good at, and use it to your advantage. Feel good about yourself, and get close to the friends you already have.
