you've obviously heard the saying "its whats on the inside that counts" i mean that doesnt only apply for looks no2 someone could seem happy on the outside, when on the inside their life is horrible! im not saying this is how my life is, i mean....all of us have pretended to be happy when theyre not, obviously, but ive read a lot, seen a lot of movies, and even known someone who this has applied to 😬 and its not always la-di-da-di-da being popular you know!? its not like popular people only cry when they break a nail 😬
You make a good point, and I also understand how somebody who acts happy on the outside can be kinda depressed on the inside... But at the same time, people who always have a pack of friends around themselves inherently HAVE to have it better than kids who have none at all. The kid who sits in the corner reading with nobody to talk to and nobody who can identify with him will nearly always be worse off than the kid who has a million friends, and probably at least a couple he can talk to if he really needs to get a load off his shoulders.
So I understand what you're saying, but at the same time, I really don't think you understand how much it sucks being bullied all the time... You can't truly understand it unless you've been there yourself. I was at a place where I had no friends, and couldn't talk to my parents about it either, because I didn't think they'd "get it". Hmm.... let's see here... my grades were failing, my parents wouldn't "get it", I had no friends, (which was made even worse by the fact that I had at one point had some, but they had stabbed me in the back and turned "to the dark side"😉, I was constantly being bullied and picked on, I was depressed into next Wednesday... Gee, I think I've had more problems at one point in my life than you have right now. So see, lots of "not popular" kids have just the same problems you do, and then some.
I'm not trying to ridicule your problems, all I'm saying is that others have much bigger problems than you. And I won't include myself in that group, at least I always had a roof over my head and enough food to eat.
