You just said everything I was going to write in response to your first post.
I've had a big problem with being a people pleaser most of my life, so I know what it feels like to want EVERYBODY to like you. Of course that's not possible. You're only setting yourself up for failure with that mind frame. Its an important lesson to learn and it sounds like you're learning it way earlier in life than I did!
But babble is the place for reasurrance, so you should know I really like you. You're sweet and smart and care about people.
I've had my crazier times here and people still seem to accept me the way I am. The thing is, we all know what its like! We've been there to some extent or another or we wouldn't be here in the first place!
You're trying to improve yourself at a young age, and that's a really good thing. At your age I wasn't even close. But YOU are trying, which is more than alot of people out there who only care about themselves.
Keep up the good work. Try to concentrate on what YOU think of you rather than what everyone else thinks.
